I suspect you're talking about Acer being bought by Drillsearch. They've upped the bid to 28.5 cents and have around 65% now so there's very little chance they'll pay higher. They already control the board with greater than 50% and I think within a month they'll be close to the 90% and...

Then WA would have its own currency with inflation through the roof. 'Australia' would let 'WA' live it's own little world for approximately 12 months then 'Australia' would invade 'WA' as 'WA' has no military to defend themselves then all 'WA' assets would no longer be theirs and the rest...

Don't give them any Christmas/Birthday presents.... just take $100 or $200 off the loan balance. Will help them take notice twice a year that they owe you money. Maybe take less off the loan balance than you would usually spend on a gift... just to make your point.

They dont throw out your old/traded in machines. They keep them to use as parts for other customers repairs. They'll get quite excited if you're trading in a 20 y/o good quality machine because it may fix another 10 customers vacuum cleaners at $150+ a pop!!

I think you can build something (shed, cubby house) in your yard, up against the fence to a height of 2m without any approval. However I think above that height would trigger a building application in theory. They would consider the size, structure etc. Wouldn't be a planning application...

I do think there's currency risk in QR shares. The overseas instos are taking a view on the business, the Aussie economy and in turn the currency versus their home currency. So a key risk is a global view that the Aussie dollar is going lower versus the US or Euro. However I think the consensus...

I'm referring to Aussie investors having very little experience investing in integrated rail companies compared to US investors that have been able to look at listed rail businesses for 100 years. This is through no fault of he Aussie investors but now that we can see what the overseas...

The offer was 'over allocated'. You should read up on that.

Is the the first time you have looked at those statements? I repeat - the greenshoe has not bought a single share. That means the qld gov't has not increased their holding since before the first day of trading. It's not that hard to understand if you have your head around the structure of...

It can help to put a floor under the price IF it goes under issue which it's hasn't. Not one share has been bought with the greenshoe. Shares have been bought by overseas investors that know what they're looking at in a railway company - unfortunately for most Aussie investors they didn't...

So the doubters were wrong. Finished day one up 8% and is now up about 13%. Pretty good result. Retail paid $2.45 and currently $2.77. That's a good gain for a week.

The biggest risk is if she has any form of finance on the property you're second in line if things go wrong. The bank couldn't care less if you've paid her 10% and will buy the property off her in 18 months. If she stops paying the mortgage then they'll take the property. I wouldn't let...

There'll be plenty of new supply coming on down the hill at teneriffe in the next few years. It's probably worth considering.

If you group your files into different folders on the drive the WDTV is looking at.... the external hard drive - then you can scroll through them that way.

I haven't read the pds.... so... how does the capital protection work? There was a product like this getting around a few years ago that put about 70% of the fund into cash and this was the 'capital protection'. The cash would grow back to the full value over the time of the product -...

Depends on what you're comparing it to? But the better chart to use is the ASX Accumulation Index. What that includes is dividends as well - gives you a better idea of the total return. The other thing about the ASX200 or XJO is it's a bit self fulfilling. The index is reweighted every...

Incitec Pivot is the largest on the ASX by far. They're also into explosives after they bought Dyno Noble 6 months back. Ticker is IPL

I struggle to understand that you can't instruct your margin lender to send funds to the managed fund provider. I use ANZ, Leveraged Equities & St George as margin lenders and they're pretty happy to do anything with a signed instruction by fax. I use them solely for ASX listed shares though...

My parents got this done when they got a new water tank a few years ago. I think it cost them $300 for 14,000 litres. Not cheap but neither is planting a new garden.

If you're so good at property investing then why are you still working??? Financial Planners need as much financial information as they can to do their job correctly. How can an FP give insurance advice without knowing your situation? I think there's plenty of people out there that don't...
