Hi Guys May seem a bit strange to be posting this question on a property forum but... the Savvy IT quotient on this board is pretty high and property investors seem to have a heap of paper to manage...I know I do. (I will search and ask elsewhere but very interested in the experiences and...

We'll we're now "officially" in an election campaign. For those interested check out http://www.federalelection.com.au/ The cartoon captions competition is hilarious (and sadly often quite insightful)! I must admit to an ulterior purpose in flagging this site. Internet startup business...

If you've ever found searching for video on the web frustrating...or just wanted to share some cool video you've found then new Australian startup Vquence may have the answer... a video search engine which delivers the search results as a sequence of short videos or "Vquences". Think of it as...

Incoming Premier Iemma (gee that rhymes...must be why they picked him )announced the abolition of vendor duty today. The duty will not apply to any contracts entered into on or after 2 August 2005. Unfortunately the duty will continue to apply to land sale contracts (or share / unit...

FYI There's an article on p43 of today's Fin Review which talks about new automated software called Scamseek that ASIC is using to surf the net to identify potentially illegal sites. The article mentions that www.wealthtipsonline.com.au has been ordered closed by ASIC but gives no further...

see this paper summarising where the government thinking is at on this issue. Anti_Avoidance_Paper.pdf Who knows where it will end up, but IMHO legitimate asset protection arrangements which are not made in the shadow of impending bankruptcy (whether that's 2 or or 4 years or otherwise)...

Can any of our Canberra members recommend a Canberra accountant who is very familiar with defence civilians tax status when serving in Iraq. There seems to be some confusion over s23AD vs 23AG... Many thanks N.

Hi All a new draft tax ruling has been released by the ATO for comment. You can look at it here: http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/results.htm?basic=%22TR%202005%2Fd4%22&rank=on&dbdomain=?&prevDomainTitle=All%20of%20the%20Legal%20Database (Not sure if I got that right - if not search ATO...

Hi IT gurus I need a plain english answer without micros@#$ microbabble. I've got a notebook that came with XP PRO and have latest Office suite with outlook. I've downloaded some updates like all good munchkins are told to...but now my outlook won't work and I can't get my @#$%ing WIFI...

From ASIC's website:

Hi All I've had a ballpark estimate of $1200 per square metre (excluding demolition costs) to construct a 280m2 unit block. That sounds a bit low to me, particularly as the site has given big problems to the existing block that's on the site. Any comments on this ballpark? I thought a...

Hi IT people I've just got myself a sexy fujitsu sub-notebook with wifi :D If I want to print wirelessly to my old printer (which just has a parallel port and cable. Can I just get one of these: Or do I need a router thingy? Ie when it says "ad hoc wireless modes" does that mean...

How many things that we just "know" are true really are? Are there deeply ingrained assumptions that we make without even realising that they are just plain wrong? Until a few hundred years ago everybody knew the world was flat and that the earth was the centre of the universe... :D...

I would have *bumped* the old thread, as I promised Tibor I would do every couple of months, but the old thread is closed. You can check the performance online at www.navrainvest.com.au Although it's still early days in this financial year the fund has outperformed the index by 2.84% to...

This probably isn't the best forum to post this query in...but anyway... I'm curious as to whether there are many property investors out there who also hold "blue chip" shares which they are writing call options over to generate some additional cash flow? Perhaps some of Peter Spann's...

Here's an extract from a newsfeed I receive. I've pasted in the links to fact sheet and media release below. Maybe the Vendor Finance association should issue a formal response??? Most of the points made in the fact sheet are quite easily refuted - the situation is exactly the same or close...

On ABC's mediawatch program last night there was comment about Steve McKnight and Today Tonight's "Millionaire Apprentice Program" (MAP). Which I think is Steve's program where he's mentoring a number of his seminar grads to control $1m in property. (Which of course doesn't make them...

See the below from the ABC's web site. Apparently this is the first in a series of 4 programs on the seminar industry. Rick Otton is the 2nd program I think. Will be an interesting watch...if only I can get home in time :( (no I don't have a doodad recorder)

The federal govt are putting some tax dollars into a programme to teach people of all ages "financial literacy". RDPD afficiando's are probably nodding their heads and saying "and about time too" and "I told you so"... But my question is - can you TEACH anything beyond a rudimentary...
