SIS – I thought you said yesterday were going to change your ways… Only 52 to go (at the time of writing).

SIS, at over 11 posts per day, I envy the time on your hands.

I have noticed, thought, that your quality it slipping! (e.g. “Hi XYZ, The matter you are talking about exists – just search the other threads in this forum for more information. Good luck!, SIS.”

Don’t let yourself slip now you’re a moderator![]

I was kinda hoping that I would not feel the need to return after the site being down for the day.

Bugger.

To be honest, Margaret Lomas’ “How to Create an Income for Life” was the book that got me started.

I am a bit of a fan of her approach / philosophy.

Bbruham is close to the mark re the name. Kings Cross is a locality describing chiefly the area around the Darlinghurst Road area (the clubs / pubs / fast food joints / “other busineses” etc).

Potts Point is the name Australia Post recognise!

I think this is meant for the “question for SIS” thread…

Derynaka, yes, there is the disclaimer was there, but it’s like saying “today’s newspaper actually only has yesterday’s news because we printed the wrong news in yesterday’s paper”.

A bit pointless, really – unless there is a known huge market for people that track these things. But I would think not. It all seems a bit illogical.

Drinking Bundy and Coke on the NSW South Coast.

Cool, Melbear. I had to use my brain too much already in writing the above post. I didn’t want have to think much more so early in the year.

Crikey, Dick Smith has joined the forum[]

I think it’s a little off-topic, but this whole “profits go offshore” argument is a bit weak when there are domestic jobs, manufacturing, suppliers etc utilised domestically. And heaven knows, in many cases the cash flows in these functions are more reliable, predictable and perhaps substantial than any…[Read more]

Canetoadhunter,

Out of interest, too (it seems Celivia and I live in the same suburb), I am interested in the “name change” you speak of. Did they change your IP suburb from Ambarvale or Glen Alpine or was it from some fluffy marketing name?

No, but I know a bad PM in Canberra.[]

I’m with Kylie Douglas from LJH. Can only speak well of her and her team.

Hi Celivia,

Yep. Received it just before Christmas. % increase well in the 90’s. But this just depresses me because it just means that our Council will have a great case to increase the rates!

There is much less around than there was 1-2 years ago. In May last year I was looking around Morayfield / Burpengary but it was just going nuts. Ended up buying in Townsville. At the time, there were some places around Ipswich but prices have moved on since then, too.

Have done it twice. Relied on photos for screening and then the formal inspections etc for more detail. Would do it again.

Crikey, Bill, talk about back with a vengance!

I’ll give some serious advice (there’s enough of the usual advice above).

My tip would be to learn when to let things go as quickly as possible. Some things just aren’t worth worrying about and the after seven years I’m just getting a handle on which things these are – and which things they aren’t!

Yes, the news has made it here. Funnily enough, the Canada bit didn’t really. It’s more the Germans and French that are complaining, according to our papers.

SIS – on another thread someone asked about your forum signature. I reckon you need to invest at about 11-12% to do your $3 a day = $1million.

Where did you get that line from – and where do you get 11-12% per year, every year. Would seem to be an aggressive rather than “sensible” investment strategy… (Not saying that aggressive is not…[Read more]
