It sounds like they assigned the lease multiple times during a 7 year term which isn't uncommon. The $100 - $200k is likely to be the sale price for the business as a going concern plus equipment, machinery fitout, stock etc. Its not necessarily a premium paid to "buy" the lease, although it...

1. Do you actually have a lease yet or are you currently negotiating the lease for the initial term? If initial term - fees are negotiable and in this market each should bare own. 2. If you already have a lease and you are talking about legal costs to draw up a new lease for an option...

Well, made a 20%+ total return 2012 so I guess the answer was yes. Hoping for a similar result in 2013 if IRs continue to track downward.

I suggest you re-read the thread. Sunfish: ASX has underperformed Dow due to big 4 banks and 2 x resource stocks. Redwing: Quotes bank stocks and resource stocks he has invested in showing good returns. Sunfish: Means nothing without dates. Pom: Quotes recent bank purchases dates...

Nothing. Whats wrong with someone else giving examples with dates as well?

Its an open forum and i'll post what I like when I like. Sorry your bank crash fantasy hasn't worked out for you. Deal with it.

No - your statement was generic and didn't seem directed at anyone in particular.

NAB purchased mid February 2012 $22.86. Close 23 March $24.35 = 7% ANZ purchased mid January 2012 $20.60. Close 23 March $22.74 = 10.5% Not setting the world on fire but not bad in a month or two.

Because they also invest in shares:rolleyes:

Well, my picks are fairing pretty well so far - particularly QBE where i'm up 30%+. All are in positive territory. I'm newish to shares and particularly the Aussie market so i'd appreciate peoples thoughts on specific stocks for 2012. That way I don't have to research 200 companies and I...

Have they installed an a/c units? Pressure release valve etc?

Ok, as its the weekend - you're right.:D

My "socialistic" views were in reference to this original post from Ausprop: "too much hurt in the economy to keep rates steady. I don't think anyone expected the resources boom to crowd out the other industries to the extent it has. The RBA is cognitive of this but doesn't appreciate it on a...

You are not an omnipotent arbiter and as such can't make a definitive judgment.

I think if you view my points in "relative" terms, that is, relative to other resource rich areas of the world, they are all sound postulations.

Because miners don't own the resources, they have a lease allowing them to mine the resources. If the value of the mineral goes up, why shouldn't the owner of that resource share in the profit? If you own a retail store and the tenant is trading extremely well, you quite often have a profit...

So no substantive arguments against my points then, just glib remarks.

....and an unstable country with a dictator is a good place to invest money? Even if your assertion is true, god forbid we should ration our resources rather than blowing the family jewels in one dash (and creating economic problems for ourselves to boot). Resources are finite, Australian...

Hmmmm, perhaps Australia should look at some sort of overage system whereby the miners pay the citizens of Australia a kind of "profit rent" in boom times. That way there could be a reallocation of super profits from the few to the many and ensure industries affected by factors such as a high...

Trackers rock. I still have a property in the UK on a HSBC lifetime tracker set at 0.8% above BOE base rate. That's a whopping 1.3% interest pa! Suffice to say its cash flow positive. :cool:
