Hello Scremin

When sending important emails, can alway request a “read receipt” that will let you know when the email has been read. Also it is proof that it has been read if they deny recieving it.

In outlook express, go to tools/options/receipts and then check the read receipt box.

Lessons I have learnt along the way and often remind myself of.

Property is cyclical as is the stockmarket.

Things are never different this time.

Because you have made money in a boom doesn’t make you an expert.

Simon,

That is the most sensible thing I seen…[Read more]

I am in a similar boat to you. I think you are better to buy a IP and rent yourself provided that the rent youpay does not exceed what you would otherwise be paying in loan payment on your own home. This way the interest on your IP is tax deductible and so are all the other associated expenses with an IP. By renting yourself, you…

Also, one must look deeper than the marginal tax rates on income.

We have multiple layers of taxation; therefore we must look at the overall taxation burden, which in Australia is in excess of 50% and the second highest in the developed world.

Going back a few years our welfare bill was A BILLION DOLLARS PER WEEK.(dont know what it is…[Read more]

It’s not bad if you don’t have to make regular repayments on a loan. Unfortunately dividends aren’t paid weekly so you end up with a cash flow problem.

Not necessary so.

A margin loan can be structured to capitalize interest so regular payments aren’t necessary (which is my preferred way)

Or alternatively you can use installment…[Read more]

freby: gotta ask, why do you want to minimise tax?

’cause it is way too high in this country and it is mis-spent on bribing voters!

A ridiculously small proportion is spent on schools, hospitals etc.

Very interesting westan,

Median price is an interesting statistical figure. Athough it is the best figure available for an overall picture, I wonder how it would look if we segmented the market into different catagories.(don’t know what the catagories should be…maybe the median price of the cheapest 25% of properties and so on up to the most…[Read more]

ROFL…my mathematics[]

Correction: In the AMP case above we would have lost $9,880 not $3,880 which is -617.5% not -242.5%

What is mezzanine finance?

There are several good trading forums around.

One of the better ones is http://www.reefcap.com

Mainly serious traders there with a minimum of the rubbish found on other trading forums.

There are also several trading chatrooms for the screen jockeys.

Cheers Wayne

Oh yeah,

Should mention one other thing about trading. Open profit is not profit. Profit can only be counted once the trades are closed.

Crashy’s strategy outlined above, unless it is now closed, is now $30.00 in the red.

Again, not having a go at you crashy, but just showing the reality of trading.[]

MY last 100 trades are irrelevant, Im not asking people to let me manage their money, Im educating them so they can manage their own. Secondly, its easy to lie about past trades, impossible to lie about a trade in real time, plus people are more interested if they can watch it happen before their eyes.

By the way, its now 16% !

Crashy,

Lets have a look at your last HUNDRED trades to give the readers here a fair idea of the true return.

Losses are a part of share/derivitave trading also.

But in fairness to crashy a successful trader using CFDs can have a return on capital in the 100’s% per annum[]

It’s pretty hard living the life of Reilly on anything less than 200-250k these days[]

Will get there one day! Just hope that buys more than a loaf of bread and a pint of beer by then[]

Hi all,

Just found this forum, great stuff and a very polite online community…congrats.

I’m a share/futures trader, I love it, its fantastic but very lonely.

Property investment is a good way to get out of the house and meet some people.

Now if I can just figure out a way to short sell property……….

Cheers
Wayne
