    catch a falling knife

    I don't understand why it makes sense to use a trigger in that sense. Unless your trigger was putting in a lower / higher order once a stock hit a certain amount (Ie, if you thought a price ceiling breakage was imminent or something) In the case of just wanting to buy some shares, why not just...

    catch a falling knife

    Out of interest, how much do they usually charge per day - I thought the $140 was insane! ... Out of interest, don't most people live within Two cabs worth of the airport?

    Is there a financial instrument to streamline investing with HO with vendor finance?

    Hmm... It's not streamlined... I'm sure some smart cookie could probably make money acting as a middlemen in such arrangements, taking a small % of the rate as a management-esque fee. I reckon you could sell that idea to retirees, but even more so investors... Also, I reckon there could be...

    Is there a financial instrument to streamline investing with HO with vendor finance?

    thats the previous experience I've seen with vendor finance... much higher rates. The property premium probably makes more sense - where are those deals organised usually?

    Centrelink...I feel left behind

    quite funny that the OP turned up within the 11-2 busy period just like everyone else, whilst they seem empty before 10:40. Probably gives some insight in to the mentality of the people going in - If I was in a situation of need, I'd probably want to sleep in too! Maybe they should Open at...

    ALP Doomed but how many seats will they get?

    To be honest I think low 60's is a great bet - I'm pretty sure it will be a coalition victory. However- Anything could happen, this will be one for the true believer. Rudd brings some era score to the table in the sense that the average-joe voter likes him, and there is no doubt he'll...

    Potentially very stupid question - Value in MB's?

    Hi guys - Obviously there are a plethora of mortgage brokers on the forum whose livelyhood it is to create value in people's investments- was just wondering if I could get some honest advice on what sort of savings I may be able to make with a mortgage broker - or if its viable for me...

    20%, 10% or 5% Deposit?

    Wouldn't it depend on your tax sitch? From a theoretical point of view, the simple answer seems like if you'd like to buy more than one property, go 5%+LMI and leverage through hell and high water. If you could afford it, it would seem logical to avoid LMI, take the 20% deposit option...

    Is there a financial instrument to streamline investing with HO with vendor finance?

    Hi guys - Was just wondering if there was some sort of system where people purchase an investment property from the home owner with vendor finance- and then the tenant continues to occupy it? I'm not entirely sure how it would work, but I'm guessing with a bunch of baby boomers retiring soon...

    Deposit Builder - a new vendor finance strategy

    Its good in the sense that in a perfect scenario its an accessable way for you to get around a few loopholes and get people buying earlier... but sounds like a financial instrument waiting to be abused by rogue mortgage lenders
