    I've been thinking . . .

    Hi quiggles, I dare to disagree with you in several points and agree with Kiyosaki. You don't have to agree with, but you might just missing the point completely. The issue in the book was that the superannuation had changed from defined benefit scheme to defined contribution scheme. If you...

    Opinion that became fact

    Taking equity out to assist fund business growth then when cash start flowing will take it out of business and put it back into RE :)

    Your claims experience with insurance

    I've used Westpac General Insurance. After some storms in Brisbane the agent got the repair done and they paid in a timely manner. I was happy with their service and had to contact them only once.

    Opinion that became fact

    Hi there, Some of you might remember that I was strongly suggesting about 2 or more years ago to Forumites to look at Logan shire. At that time I made a very bold prediction (which I do not like to do) that within 3 years the minimum entry price will be $100,000. Now as I just lightened my...

    Interest rates are going up

    Hi Rolf, it is good news. I might be cynical, but I am sure you remember of a company called Enron? To me GE no matter how big it is is just another company, albeit I have to say much better managed and financially much stronger. At the same time big companies (and insurers) disappeared...

    Interest rates are going up

    Thanks Peter, One thing I'd like to mention. The Forumites are in the less than 5% of the population category, as a matter of fact some even in the less than 1%. For the average person (95%+) risk management is negligible irrespective they buy as an owner occupier or as an investor...

    Petrol to go over & stay over a dollar

    Hi there, I've just came across the following article. It is very interesting as well as some of the conclusions made. I am not sure how reliable their sources for the graphs, but definitely a point of view, which might even be very valid. LinK...

    Interest rates are going up

    Peter, Obviously it is your opinion which is fine. The only thing I'd like to point out that the Reserve got it just as many times wrong as it got right, you might even remember to the recession we had to have? Was not the RBA independent and wise at that time? Economic indicators...

    Wealthnet club

    Hi WaySolid, The most important thing in ANYTHING in life, you would feel comfortable with. I am just an outsider who expresses an OPINION, which could be absolutely incorrect. I hope it goes well as there is a need for it, this is why I asked if you don't mind to give a feed back in a couple...

    Interest rates are going up

    Hi there, I love to hear all this wonderful economic news, how well things are going here and growth rate and the need for interest rate rise as we grow too fast :confused: . Maybe this is why the government had so much surplus as lower unemployment rate means less social security payments...

    Wealthnet club

    Hi there, I hope that I am not being cynical, but it sounded to me very much like the now disfunct freestylers club. Although there I think it was only $99 th eannual fee if I am correct. I met lots of very interesting people there who also frequenting this Forum and enjoyed it while it...

    Petrol to go over & stay over a dollar

    Hi Steve, What about the buying and selling cost? You have to take off close to $50 for it, and also inflation then look at the ROI. WPL paid 46c (assume fully franked dividend) in the last 12 months and if they pay the at least the same it is an extra $46 which would cover the buying and...

    Private rulings

    What an absurd way of thinking. :rolleyes: So if you do your due diligence properly and get the correct advice from advisors, including the ATO when tax effectiveness involved, to ensure that you are legally comply with the law (and also to avoid the that ATO would come back later on and...

    Navra fund performance update

    Hi Nigel, Thanks for the update, I am also looking at regularly the website. I think it is going well albeit not spectacular, but the market did not have any great dip (at least 10%) when the fund should start to shine, due to its investment strategy. I am basically happy with the...

    Greed turns to Fear: Steve Mc Knights lastest Seminar email

    Hi AL, Your reasons sounds solid why to invest in Japan. I would like to ask what is happening with the population? Isn't it aging very fast and also shrinking? I am not trying to take sides, just try to understand it better. Thanks.

    New twist on Nigerian scam

    What about making a nice business out of it? :) All is required to collect these stories and publish them and sell it for $9.95 in several countries or via the internet? Or maybe for $4.95 for the first 10 million customers. I do not think that any of the authors would be suing for...

    Greed turns to Fear: Steve Mc Knights lastest Seminar email

    Acey, "Maybe it's time to ask ASIC to investigate how Steve's able to advise people on property strategies without a Financial Planners' license....." While I have no problem that ASIC should investigate people who are making claims to riches in a very short time as suitable for the...

    So you think you know a bit about realestate!

    I agree with JJ. Also would like to mention that this quiz is for the US market where some of the rules (ie negative gearing severely curtailed, rollover instead of selling, tax credits and much better depreciation than we have, etc) will make the answers slightly different in other countries...
