absolutely kay… I don’t know why answering a query sometimes leads to misconceptions from other posters, but it seems to at times…

Hi HotValuer,

The fact most are sold might be indicative of the herd mentality surrounding CF+ at the moment, and nothing else. Cobar NSW also went through a mini-boom, and I would never buy there unless the yields were ridiculously high (my family is from there originally) …

If Thorpe wasn’t swimming, Hackett would win… who knows, Michael Phelps from the States might take everyone by surprise and get up and take the gold… wouldn’t that be an anti-climax?

She’s just being a mum SIS, I know what you mean though…

I believe Acey is in a position where he doesn’t have to work (for anyone else, anyway), since he’s a successful investor and dabbles in a few other projects (at least that’s what time lurking on the somersoft site tells me)…

Hmmm… seem to remember A Current Affair doing a story with Steve on wrapping, describing him as a saviour of Australia’s battlers, helping them into their own homes… of course, none of you would remember that would you, because it destroys your argument in one fell swoop.

If you’re going to debate, acknowledge the black and white in issues… it’s not all one colour.

Richmond,

So what if the forum is owned by Steve, does this mean we cannot not disagree with him or question him?

Steve is not King Kerry

Seven, if you bothered to read my earlier reply, there are many differing points of view on here, which is a good thing. Bec’s posts that outlined her different points of view, I personally had no problem with. The later ones that were just ranting diatribes against the owner of the site were too much. If you’re going to argue the point, why not take on board and have the manners to read what other people say? I am not saying anywhere that those who don’t toe the line should go… quite the opposite.

Seven,

I think you’re a bit off the mark… this ain’t a democracy, and I reckon Steve’s been very patient… perhaps Bec could put up her own “folding stuff” and start her own forum where she can say what she wants.

There are many many voices here who are greatly different to Steve’s, and this forum “is” open to all interested in property investment… but not to those who want to continually indulge in personal attacks.

I back Steve 100% (and no, I’m not a member of any fan club)

Bear

Read some of my earlier replies on debates about the media and you’ll have no doubts on my thoughts re: Today Tonight and ACA. I don’t cheerlead for ACA just because they’re part of the 9 stable.

re your comment: “When I was working on a local radio station I also noticed that the news varied every 30 minutes for the same incident.” That’s the way news works Bear, it evolves, and new information can constantly come out, which makes things change tack regularly. Look at the death toll in the 9/11 attacks… at first it was thought 30,000 might have been in the buildings when the planes hit… death toll was then put at around 10,000… finished up under 3000…

Also, I wouldn’t use one example of your being at a road accident to imply that journos make things up. The reporter asked you guys what happened didn’t he? Why didn’t you tell him? I know what he means by “join the dots” but I don’t believe a reporter would “make” something up in a regular day to day story like that.

If you saw it on 9, you would have seen the same interview that I just went and watched… what I watched wasn’t edited.
