I'm pretty sure Kiyosaki said that as well and its very true. But on that note I don't think those clowns that have been running some of those Banks in the US deserve those huge salaries. A trained monkey probably would have achieved a better result. Wow please tell me which companies are...

Well its good to see the main stream aussie media reporting on this story. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/climatic-research-unit-climategate-boss-steps-down-after-email-scandal/story-e6frf7jx-1225806022990 "THE director of the embattled Climatic Research Unit in the United...

2012- end of the earth 2013- sorry the world didn't end but the aliens are planning a large scale invasion 2020- must be due for another ice age scare 2030- mass hysteria due to over exposure to sunlight 2500 - finally hit by a large space rock, destroying all humanity!!

My argument is we need to be targeting the real enemy and not wasting time and money on the wrong one. It was only 30 yrs ago they were telling everyone we are heading into a new devastating ice age. So what is it?? Are we heading into an ice age (which yes will happen again in the future as...

From what I have been reading it looks obvious that the planet is in constant change in regards to warming and cooling. If man thinks he can change the what the planet is doing than we are seriously deluded. I am all for looking after the planet in regards to reducing pollution and stopping...

The Climategate scam is being reported in the mainstream British press; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/6679082/Climate-change-this-is-the-worst-scientific-scandal-of-our-generation.html But our mainstream media doesn't even mention it. What is going on...

Abu Dhabi can easily afford to bail out Dubai if they want to. Now this is the big question, at what price and conditions are they willing to do this at. Thats why I think they will negotiate hard and come away from the whole mess in a strong controlling position. What is that old saying...

They aren't related, they come from totally different families. The only emirate with any money in the UAE is Abu Dhabi. They have the worlds biggest sovereign fund, estimated as high as $600 Billion. They have already bailed out Dubai on a least 2 occasions and are probably this time letting...

The banks have already factored in the coming interest rate rises, so the best time if you wanted to fix was back in April. I can't see interest rates rising to much anyway and the current 5 yr fixed rates aren't attractive in my view. I will be sticking to my variable rate.

That's a good indication than, that they believe interest rates are not going to rise to much once they do start rising. I will stick with my variable loans as it give me the most flexibility.

Thanks for that. It makes me sick the amount of money you have to pay to the local govt. I can't see them ever giving up this tax though as they must be getting millions every year from this only. :mad:

Can anyone tell me if the Transfer Duty on commercial property is calculated at the same rate as Residential property? (I understand about the concessions for 1st home owners and owner occupied) This is for a commercial property in Qld I had a look around the Qld treasury website but it...

I had a look at the Brisbane city council website and it looks like I do need approval as my house lies in a demolition control precint and my deck will be more than one metre above the natural ground surface. I also notice they have this new RiskSMART program with Council accredited...

I'm looking at renovating my Queenslander, and want to know if anyone can recommend an Architect in Brisbane that they have used for a renovation. I want to add a back deck, renovate the kitchen and enclose the side veranda at the front. I would need them to draw up the plans and submit for...

I see the point you are putting forward, but the banks can never go back to draconian lending practice under the current financial model. Banks need to lend more and more money to remain profitable otherwise they should just shut their doors now and go into liquidation. The govts around the...

I don't believe this is so, haven't seen any fixed interest rates up again.

Great Post. These 2 rules above is why I never dollar cost average into a share. Learn how to short so you don't just have to go long. Follow the trend, and use stop losses and you will be ahead of the game.

Yep America has joined the UK and Japan in creating more money out of thin air to try and starve off deflation which they terrified of. Just hope they get the balance right and don't cause massive inflation.

Yes this email has been doing the rounds for a long time, I am actually tired of getting spam like this from my mates. I have told them to stop forwarding on anymore emails, other wise I will have to block them. The letter has some good points and appeals to the small business owners but at...

The cutting of the rates was not the cause of the current credit crisis it was the lending of money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back and had no incentive to do so.
