Don't quite know which forum this should be in but I'm sure that if it's in the wrong place, it will be moved / deleted. Anyway, here goes... Does anyone know of any investors / venture capitalists who have access to US$4.5mil for a niche market air cargo operation serving the South Pacific...

Glenn, I would be very happy to have a property investor as my property manager rather than just another real estate agent doing a job (and generally not very well) as I would assume that part of the job would be to recommend / suggest how the property could be improved in order to get a...

Aussiebob needs to read the Navra website again to see how the Fund works. Buy when the price falls. Sell when it rises. Hold a %age of the funds in cash ready for the best buys. Volatility is good. And as previously pointed out a squillion times, invest for a minimum of five years. This...

This good stuff. I didn't know a thing about investing until about three years ago - at the age of 53 - and am now obsessed with it. I am extremely pissed off that the light went on so late in life and one of my goals is to educate the young to think about investment in parallel with a...

Yes, Nigel is right - expectations are far too low, although it obviously depends on what you want out of life. Even $10K per month to spend would need a gross annual income of $200K. If this was just 'spending money', you would be comfortable, but if you're thinking of travelling around the...

I would like to see this article. Can anyone copy / cut and paste it to here? (you have to subscribe to it on the SMH website!) SG

Kevin H certainly has a point. I, too, know of valuers who try to predict the future, which they are most definitely not licensed or qualified to do. (Come to think of it, who is? Can they please let me know what next week's lottery numbers are?) It seems there is an element of trying...

Is there something going on in the world / profession of valuers that I don't know about? My concern is the huge variations given by valuers on the same property - in one case I know, from contract price of $360K (Jan 2002) to $470K, and it's causing real havoc all round. Presumably they...

Hello. Haven't posted for a while but thought I'd just pop in and say hi. First, my disclosure: I have money invested in the Navra Fund and I am a shareholder. Obviously, these are the main reasons for my interest in its success. I check into Steve's site nearly everyday to see (a)...

I have just been snooping around in some other threads and felt the sudden uncontrollable urge to suggest to all those who seek wisdom that they will probably not start their new investing year off better than by attending Steve Navra's weekend course in Brisbane on 8th & 9th Feb. And I'm not...

Fward, Sounds like you really do need to treat yourself to a Steve Navra course - he's holding one in Brisbane in Feb 8th & 9th - see Meeting Point or his website. You will not get better value in terms of cash for information and a whole new world might be opened up to you. (Well, it was...

I think you're being a bit unreasonable XBenX. This is a discussion forum for the benefit of all. Searching or Googling isn't always the answer. Personal knowledge and experience is often much more vaulable. I would like to think that we all contribute in one way or another - it's just...

Yes, XBenX, I do rather agree with TheBacon - a bit more detail might be useful. I for one would like to know a lot more about House & Land packages - good and bad - can anybody out there pls contribute their words of wisdom? SG

Thank you again to everyone who has contibuted to my little problem (actually, that of a friend) - it is truly very much appreciated, but as in all things financial, things are rarely as simple as they seem. I have indeed got a phone call to Steve Navra on my list of things to do, places to...

Many thanks for all the interesting and helpful responses. I need to make a few calls etc but I will get back to the interested parties within the next few days. Anybody got any more info about Dale's 'homestay' book? - sounds interesting. (FYI - It is a 3 bed unit in Neutral Bay with...
