not 100 pct sure yet – ill get back to you!

something to do with ‘respecting the journey’.

great posts everyone. the depth of discussion is amazing.

one thing i would add with regards to ‘others getting ahead’ or ‘being a doormat’ etc etc

so for example, if one thinks they have been taken advantage off for doing…[Read more]

mark – heres the advise youve been looking for – on a plate.

buy an apartment, off the plan, at docklands, from one of henry kayes companies. dont worry about a deposit – these guys will help you out. ask them fro a free valuation also. buy it soon because there will only be growth for another 6 months.

hope this helps

onward and upwards

ok serious ones

bad habit – leaving my dishes in the sink after ive rinsed them. for some reason i have an aversion to then putting them into the dishwasher…very annoying for my wife..

good habit – when i eat – if im full – i stop eating and put the left overs into the fridge. i used to try and eat everything on the plate as was taught to me…[Read more]

gmh – no worries. i probably misread as you put question marks at the end of the statement..

michael – fair enuf…

michael – i think kay was just trying to make sense of it all. it is a property investing forum btw and not everyone has studied economics.

good habit – wake up
bad habit – go to work

actaul work – about 10 hours per week. time in the office and logged in from home where im constantly looking for deals/concluding deals – 60 hours perweek. so technically 60 hours per week.

i would agree with the others but i would also say this. you are not alone in wondering ewhat to do with your money. everyone is confused including seasones investors. all markets are volatile at the moment.

make a decison based on the risk you can ware. and also look for a good deal. there are good deals in any market. offer on 50 places and see…[Read more]

anyway the important thing is not so much the interest rate hike but the price of oil. now thats interesting!!!!

45 bucks a barrel. some saying cld go to 70.00.

a guy on the tellie last night reckons we will soon all be paying 3 bucks per litre at the bowser. thats 150 bucks to fill a normal tank. thats 250 bucks for a melb-lorne-melb round…[Read more]

rate rise – stock market up??? not necessarily. depends on the make up of the economy. some will win and some will lose..

for example the aussie stock exchange is hugely dependant on the banks. interest rate hike generally are not so great for the banks due to a likely softening in the property market so therefore our overall share indexes might…[Read more]

yep i know what you mean. the only thing is that the property market is only part of the equation. interest rates reflect in some ways the state of the entire economy and with it the direction the governement want to steer the economy in the future. interest rate direction/levels make commodity traders, sharemarkets, fund managers, policy makers…[Read more]

good point kay – i think the main reason is one word ‘sentiment’. people think that this signals the start of a trend! everyone wants to pick the start of trend.

good taste celivia….

kay – nice one..

i have the same problem – too many outcomes and not enuf incomes….

gatsby – very insightful re the hamlet stuff. these are huge philosophical questiones here regarding happiness, ethics, duty, igniorance etc etc.

a friend recently had a bit off a hamlet moment. he is a great bloke who thinks about the world and his position in it. but moaned recently that despite all his good intentions he sees ignorant nasty…[Read more]

yep – i go with kay

great link wayne…i agree with everyone.

the idea of hoarding a treasue of gold coins makes me laugh. a bit like the people that move to the blue mountains for fear of the impending tsunami, atom bomb, etc ready to hit the earth.

maybe its the way to go. where are those bob dylan tapes havent listenb to for a while – tune in and drop out!!!

too late – he is dead!
