Yeh, they are certainly quite tightly held. They do become available, the problem is when a desirable property in these areas becomes available it gets snapped up very quickly

It's not a common term, so it's not a Noob question at all. I was referring to the suburbs surrounding the CBD from the north to around the East and South. ie, Medindie, Walkerville, St Peters, College Park, Rose Park, Toorak Gardens, Hyde Park, Unley Park, Millswood etc etc

This is very true. I'm currently looking in the "green belt" of Adelaide and I can confirm that good quality properties in these areas are selling very quickly. There seems to be a big big shortage of supply at the moment, not that many quality properties in these suburbs become available. I...

I hope noone here speculated on Sirtex.

Inspirational story. Not just the investment outcomes, but the willingness to work hard and make sacrifices. Too many people in this country whinge and whine and rely on the government for various welfare payments. You have shown what is possible despite starting from absolute scratch, not just...

A delightful read, as usual.

I must say, I'm very surprised at some of the short term/reactionary approaches several in this thread have adopted in their approach to the stock market. I wonder how they would react if they received daily prices on the values of their investment properties?

I brought this up some weeks ago and i'll mention it again. The dash towards high yielding shares will cause some problems when the music stops and those that invested in these stocks exit in search of the next big thing. Invest in good quality companies that have good market positions in...

I'll ask a question relating to high yielding shares. Given the lack of returns from other fixed income investments, and the subsequent rush to high yielding stocks particularly the banks and telstra, is there not a significant risk that the share price of these companies is being...

Thanks for sharing your story. Always interesting to see how others have gone about it. Are you nervous about having such a large debt? This strategy obviously works well when house prices go up and interest rates are so low. Have you gone down this path with the assumption that prices will...

I dont particularly care what language he spoke. Most people would speak in their natural language. Warner unfairly and incorrectly accused him of cheating and aggressively made a point of it. He could not have been more wrong in his accusation. Don't think there would be too many...

No doubt that Warner is not alone in this. There are other players who also could tone it down. But when Martin Crowe says this: It's telling.

GFC events are not common though? Sure we could see a 10% pull back, but is that really worth stocking up cash for? Particularly when we know it's so hard to predict these things.

haha. That is what I am saying. You are defending Warner. I am saying Warner is a knob jockey and he has a long history of on field behaviour problems and off field behaviour problems. Whatever issue he had with Root, he thought the best solution was to punch him. That's probably all that needs...

You don't seem relaxed, but i'll take your word for it. Football is a physical, aggressive sport. Cricket is not. Football also has a different culture when it comes to on field aggression. That's why we see people getting whacked every week in the AFL and yet the biggest on field scandal...

P.S-Ironic that you're defending Warner with the premise that at least it all stays on the field. Just like Warner did when he decided to whack Joe Root in a pub before the Ashes? That sort of leave it on the field?

relax pal. see here's the thing, "leave it on the field" pertains to words said between the teams. The crowds and home viewers have virtually no idea that the words are being said. THAT is leave it on the field. Warner constantly behaving aggressively on the field is not leaving it on the...

I'm looking forward to the Air BnB IPO

The context is this: Sharma ran on an overthrow. Warner thought the ball hit Sharma and thus he should not have taken the extra run. In an animated and aggressive fashion he confronted Sharma to tell him what he thought. The replay showed that the ball clearly did not hit Sharma or his bat...

i'd like to think i would, but who knows. i haven't been in a situation where i've lost 40-50% of my capital in a stock market blood bath, so it's hard for me to sit here and confidently say that in such a scenario i'd be happy/willing to keep pumping money into the market. i hope i'd have...
