    High Yielding Shares Again

    Maybe, I don't have the time I had in years past. So many investment opportunities for me at the moment. Not just personal, but business related as well. The business I set up with some old business partners three years ago is now returning 100% ROE, and the new one we set up a year ago is...

    High Yielding Shares Again

    So by your definition, the correctness or otherwise, of an investment decision, is governed by the popularity of other posters at a particular point in time????? Since when in the history of mankind, has ones wealth determining decisions, been determined by the views of other people...

    High Yielding Shares Again

    yes 100% dyed in the wool value investor. This created financial freedom for me before I was 40. Generated great returns (with the exception of the this current financial year which has hit me harder than 'market averages') but like any investor will have good years and bad years.

    High Yielding Shares Again

    And when a stock has been trending down for a while, what then is the difference between dollar cost averaging and 'averaging down'. Both positions can refer to either individual stock positions or to broader based market exposure positions. When the market is going down, by definition...

    High Yielding Shares Again

    Buffett only 'dollar averages' where it makes sense to do so. That doesn't mean 'ohw the market is down 10% better start dollar averaging'. Buffet would have an idea on what the actual 'value' is against the current shareprice. So for those out there just spouting 'buy the dips', do...

    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    An old adage that resource cycles last around 20 years. Given we have just come off one massive resource peak, next peak will be around 2030 (give or take a few years, and for when the peak occurred) Perth heavily related to resources. Will start looking at Perth property market around...

    Boglehead/Vanguard way to retire

    investing in index funds, broad based etf's etc is fine. But that's not the real success to achieving adequate long term returns. The secret is to apply a constant top up regardless of market conditions. The reason the average retail 'investor' fails to achieve adequate returns is...

    Laundering money

    Division 1: Cash Businesses: Looking for highly fluctuating business sales as its easier to distort figures. Nightclubs/disco's have been suggested. Yes very good. On a good night one can pump $100K of takings through. Two nights a week, $200k. Division 2: International money exchange...

    Whats with RIO?

    Nothing wrong with either BHP or RIO. Both are best of breed companies, they have the best assets in the ground. But both of these are long term cyclical companies. Unlike others, where they go kaput, both BHP and RIO will be there tomorrow. Just don't go treating them like slow...
