I would like to make a couple of points arising from this thread, which are not immediatly obvious:

dmichie said – “Perhaps I should pick up a Tony Robbins video, that should sort me out”

Just to ensure you keep true to us bears, I will be happy to furnish you with a nice little CD Tony Robbins put together with Robert Prechter…discussing the…[Read more]

I must admit Rob, I wouldn’t either. Making money within the rules is achievable enough without risking all.

Very true Pelican,

How many of us, if offered inside info, would take it and use it to make money? I would have to say nearly 100%.

Apparantly there is a…[Read more]

Rob,

In agreeance with you here. RR was a scalliwag, anyone who’s been arround the markets a bit will know that. But the market is full of them. Renee was no better or worse than a lot of the scoundrals who manipulate markets…I see it every single day with my line of work.

But we too, were struck by the “disgraced” tag as something a bit…[Read more]

>>>>petard<<<<

Going way off at a tangent here, but for those unfamiliar with the word, this is quite amusing:

Word History: The French used pétard, “a loud discharge of intestinal gas,” for a kind of infernal engine for blasting through the gates of a city. “To be hoist by one’s own petard,” a now proverbial phrase apparently origin…[Read more]

Hot air?

I notice you seem to be continuously hoisted on your own petard.

In your petulant attack on what is a well thought out and written opinion, you have once again made a baseless presumption, that our friend Mr North does not actually participate in the game of life. Unless of course you are privy to his affairs and know something of his…[Read more]

Another great Gary North atricle!

Well that counts out about 99.9999% of property in Oz!

(I know its not as bad as that, but please indulge my use of hyberbole. It actually only counts out about 99.9996% of property in Oz)

Holy Crap!

Didn’t know it was happening to that extent! I’ll have to get out of my cave more often!

Did Buckeridge ever set up that brick plant?

Originally posted by AUSPROP:

Of course we also need to consider rents when we consider housign affordability. With rents at such low levels it could be said that renters are getting a free ride on the coat tails of homeowners. One easy way to boost housing affordability would be to drop negative gearing, thereby decreasing demand for property,…[Read more]

The funny thing is, is that eventually you will learn what they mean…the hard way.

Far better to learn them the easy way. I.E. BEFORE you blow up your account.

Dazzling I think your post is in poor taste and is a poor atempt to gather support to ridicule people’s religion as you call it.
Obviously you failed considering the balanced responses you got.

Hmmm. In light of you very own comments about catholocism, I thought it was a perfectly reasonable metaphor.…[Read more]
