fair enough risky, horses for courses I suppose. I stand by my comment that they aren’t plentiful…
Cheers
rAceydeucey,
If ethics are “a system of rules or principles for behaviour within a group or society according to which actions are judged” (from the Heinemann Australian Dictionary) then I believe the family home is the best place to learn them… of course it would help if that was backed up in the school system.
cheers
rAceydeucey,
What’s the worst forum then? And I’m curious to know why you think this forum is so bad… I have no ties to Steve, I’m no expert either and don’t claim to be… I just try and delete posts that are abusive etc, so I’m not being defensive over your comments.
FWIW I learn a lot more at the somersoft.com forum, but I do enjoy some of the debates here, however pointless they may seem to some.
Plus, I also agree with Castle Dreamer’s original sentiments…
Cheers
rObvious answer, investing… because I’d probably not have to work by now had I known then what I know now.
cheers
rMini,
I’d like to see some updated stats on that figure, because I have a feeling it’d be outdated these days…
Cheers
rSo there’s “many” positive cashflow properties available is there? I assume you ain’t talking about Australia here, because while they do exist, they’re hardly plentiful, and where they are located is sometimes questionable in terms of making an investment…
Cheers
rSIS,
Considering you’re saying this domino thingy is so high risk, what have you done, or what you do, to cover your arse if the house of cards collapsed?
Cheers
rPisces,
That’s pretty much what I was trying to explain… however it sounds too obvious.
Cheers
rI reckon Musharraf will do whatever he’s told to do.
Also I’m sure George Dubya would have the PR (or perhaps, propaganda) team in place to get some shots then release carefully chosen shots on a video news release… I’m not a huge conspiracy theorist, and I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but I just wouldn’t be surprised if George pulls it out of the hat as his popularity dwindles… it’s politics after all.
cheers
ror will OBL be magically captured a couple of weeks before the Americans go to the polls? I know that’s cynical, but I wouldn’t be surprised…
Cheers
r1. Me, my wife and extended family being healthy and genuinely happy… not necessarily in financial terms, but just being able to wear a genuine smile and saying “life’s pretty good”
2. Making productive use of my spare time, in terms of utilising it to learn, stay fit and strong, having fun, stopping to smell the roses…
3. Enjoyment of work…(when I eventually have kids they’ll be top of the hit parade, no doubt)
I actually think valiantwagon’s responses aren’t too far off the mark… in 10 years time will Musharraf be friend or foe? Saddam was a friend for a while then fell out of favour… Afghanistan is a basket case and the Taliban have not been chased away… where is Osama? He’s done a pretty good job of evading the most powerful army on the face of the earth hasn’t he?
Also, I thought the second in charge of Al Qaeda was supposed to be cornered in the mountains on the Afghan-Pakistani border and was on the cusp of being captured… what happened?? He disappeared.
The US support dictators who toe the line (read: cater to American interests), and are hostile to those that don’t… even Noriega was best buddies with them until he fell out of favour… As for labelling Iraq a success, do you actually read much press about what’s going on there? It’s another basket case…
I agree the Yanks could do more in the Israeli/Palestinian issue, but exactly what that is, I’m not sure…
For what it’s worth I think Gadaffi’s decision is based on a mixture of economics and politics… not a black and white decision at all…
Just as a point of interest, who’s going to be the next bad guy once Osama’s gone? Saddam replaced the Russians, and Osama’s public enemy number one, but once he’s caught, where will the focus turn if at all on an individual? Perhaps it’ll just be the faceless members of Al Qaeda, but I’m tipping North Korea’s Kim… because it seems there always has to be a bad guy… I wonder whether the “line” will ever come out that North Korea is a supporter of Al Qaeda?
Cheers
rPoint taken Aceydeucey… I’ll change it. I agree with the politeness issue.
ps redwing, I knew it as ripple effect too…

rPersonally I’m using LOC against PPOR to make purchases that equate to 100% finance, LOC covers 20% deposit and 5% costs, and then taking separate loans for extra 80% … then our salaries go back into LOC to keep it nice and healthy. All loans are stand alone, not cross collaterised. We’re about a month away from having our LOC chock full again, once it’s there we’ll have approval to get finance that will leave us with between $1.5 to 2 mill to spend… I’m sure our way is no different to what a lot of people are doing.
Cheers

rI’ll ponder it over a few beers as I watch the Tigers destroy Collingwood and get back to you all tomorrow…
Cheers
rUse equity from paid off PPOR to buy IP1,
then use equity from IP1 to buy IP2,
then use equity from IP2 to buy IP3, etc…closer?
Fair enough SIS, I’m not foolish enough to not let myself be corrected…
Cheers

With all due respect, until you add some “meat” to your posts, I’ll be retaining my healthy scepticism. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. [exhappy]
