HiEquity....you are entitled to your opinion.....that is beauty of the forum.
There a quite a few on the forum who have differing views. I am not saying any party is right.....
As for ten of millions....talk is cheap...agree lots heroes with stories...on this site. Some have real wealth...some not...and some exaggerated wealth...
As for me...I am mere pauper....with a big hat no cattle...so take no notice of what I say. Sim will verify that.

Wow - this thread is heavy reading!
I'd just like to make a few points, as a completely disinterested property investor:
- I've been here for awhile now (too long!) and I have found the moderation to be first class. Excellent judgement is displayed by the mods regarding who is here to contribute and who is here to just advertise or take down everyone else with them. If I report a post, as I have felt I had to do on the odd occasion, it gets acted on very quickly. The mods only get kudos from me.
- I fear Jake is falling into a trap here that the other BAs can spot a mile away. A ********* contest with the investing heroes of the forum for whom no matter what deal is put up, they could always have done better themselves. Why they need external validation of this fact is beyond me as their level of self belief is obviously unassailable. And this is despite the fact they clearly believe they are better investors than others on this forum whose net worth is clearly tens of millions of dollars ahead of their own. We have had this problem before and it seems nothing has been learnt. I can only advise the BAs not to get themselves caught up in this game, although I can see that those who have been around here for awhile clearly don't need the advice.
Lets just get back to discussing investing shall we? This whole "mine's bigger than your's" attitude does not encourage other people to share their real world numbers, only to have them ridiculed, which is exactly the most valuable activity this forum has to offer.
