Damned by faint praise. :D The "other" 80% are as dumb as dog poop.

Are you serious? Property is seriously effected by three tiers of governments. Politicians are like little children with adult hatreds. And if you have read what I have written you should have come to the conclusion that I think you are doing the wrong thing just because someone said it is a...

Does anyone seriously think investment is easy and formulaic? It sound as if we are being asked the formula. Breaking News! There ain't one. You swim, run, ride a bike as you wish but anyone telling you they know what will get you there fastest is a liar.

This is an old wife's tale perpetuated by "property only" investors who use reverse logic to justify their own investments when you remind them that Greater Sydney has been a minefield for years. It is the largest single market, afterall. No property investor will admit to having "dollar cost...

It is down because of "deleveraging". Most of the trillions of almost free money Obama has given to the banks has stalled in their own balance sheets. The are aware that they can't continue with 99% LVRs in todays climate. Only if someone has a reason to borrow with a good chance of making a...

We're saying the same thing PB (like your nick BTW). That's why we've got to do a lot of reading. :) For example: Printing too much money as most nations are doing now will, inevitably, lead to high inflation. But they've been doing it for years so why aren't we in inflation? I suggest it's...

Nobody can tell you that. :eek: They can talk of investment cycles but history doesn't repeat. You must make your own judgement after doing a lot of reading, way beyond this narrow interest forum. Ya pays your money and ya takes ya chances.

Most people I know who are doing nicely and living well at the same time (a big boat anyone?) are in business. They use property where required and shares for retirement. The best way to retire is to sell the business complete with a 5X5 lease on your commercial premises. But they don't seem...

JIT. Please don't use faceless people on a property forum to advise you on shares. There is a lot of opinion presented as fact with no supporting proof. :eek:

It varies. The fairest way is an X:1 issue but there is usually a minimum issue and you can bid for more (post a cheque with the application) but (now that I think of it) they are usually non-renounceable ie you have no option to on-sell.

Investopedia Says: Stockholders that have received renounceable rights have three choices of what to do with the rights. They can act on the rights and buy more shares as per the particulars of the rights issue; they can sell them on the market; or they can pass on taking advantage of their...

I'd rather not. I have posted on this matter many times and to do so again would sound like carping. Besides, What do I know? :D

I am suspicious of any of the tried and true "broad brush" investment approaches now. It's a mine field out there and a lot of people will be blown up in next five years. A fortunate few who, through good luck or good management, do the right thing will do well. I think I know a few places...
