Stuart..all good points…and I’m happy to let it die a natural death…unfortunatley some people just can’t see the wood for the trees on this topic.

Lets re-group when there is a definitive outcome rather than another false start.

Over and out

How can you possibly talk about “Duty of Care” and then reccomend a product that is under investigation by ASIC….do you value your Finacial Advisor status in any way??…or does it more reflect the fact that being a “registered”Finacial Advsior really does not mean much??

Either way I can’t belive you have done this.

Rob didn’t I try to warn you a few months back about throwing your credability down the drain by attaching yourself so firmly to the group in question…even you must realise that a little bit of caution at that point would have been prudent !!

I’m the first to admit that I would love to take out an interest free loan but I know it just ain’t gunna happen

Robert ..please read the 2nd section of the link I have posted below and amend your post above to A) be correct and not be a direct attack at me.

BTW Here’s a tip for you…A little bit of research can go a long way when starting from a position where you know nothing about nothing!

I have re-read my post and from what I can see I’m not saying that University professors need ASIC accrediation.

What I did say (which you seem to be avoiding or you just plain can’t understand) is that if these supposedly “worthless” (your view, not mine) licences are so easy to get, then why don’t these gurus get one, and then get back to work without this continual cloud over their head.

Can I ask your view on unlicenced doctors, unlicenced commercial pilots and unlicenced builders???

Surely “jumping through a few hoops” is pretty inconvient for them also…lets cut them some slack why don’t we.

Learnigtoinvest…can I suggest that you read all the threads on this topic…you will find that certain posters seem to be way too pro these courses for my liking and far too quick to dismiss the rulings and advice from ASIC in relation to these courses.

I have made my feelings known about this topic and I don’t want to go over old ground…..but I suggest you do your homework before commiting to anything in this area.

Please be carefull

Ok Perry …given you seem so depserate to get my opinion (but in the next breath, you deride my views) here is my take on what, when and where for ASIC stepping in on forums like this.

If a forum or a person’s website oversteps the mark then ASIC has the right to step in.

If you don’t like that fact then either vote out our current govt and start a new politcal party who’s mandate is to allow unfetted investment advice from every Tom, Dick and Harry

or

Move to some 3rd world country where banking and investment laws are more friendly towards shonks….Nigeria would be my 1st recommendation.

Hopefully that makes my position (and ASIC’s) on this point clear for you.

In case you are wondering….I really don’t need your feedback on this point if you disagree.

The hole you are digging for yourself is getting deeper and deeper, you started out partailly sane…..next you will be blaming me for shooting JFK.

I suggest you let it go and go back to whatever it is you do

As Wayne L said…if you can’t get your head around delt, gamma etc …the stay the hell away from options…if you can’t understand these very basic principals, then you are a chicken about to walk into Kentucky Fried !!!
