Now I understand !!   Yes, for sure, I can see where some regional areas might be “no-go zones” for any kind of investment into the near future.  And yes, various media entities do tend to drive particular sentiments.  Personally, I don’t foresee too much downside in cities, though some regional towns may well face a downturn, so it would be wis…[Read more]

Hi Maxyboy,

Thanks for your response, and welcome.  :)   Re your comment below:-

I was going to head off and buy something next week but some have suggested that I be a little more patient and wait until we know more.

If you are skilled in property purchases, I’m sure there are always opportunities “out there”.  On the other hand, if you are new…[Read more]

Hi Teneale,

What a good problem to have.  You sound like you are going fine.  I’m sure someone in this community will have answers for you, but it isn’t me – sorry!

Let’s see who does pop up with some sound ideas.  I do like the idea of finding new expert members for your team – sounds like the previous ones weren’t up to the task, as you ha…[Read more]

Hi Freedom,

The links to the topics are not clickable. ? let me know If I am missing something.

You are quite right – the Index references are not clickable (maybe one day when I have some spare time….. ;) so use the Index much as you would in a book.  i.e. You look for a chapter title that sounds like what you want, then look for a page #,…[Read more]

Hi to both of you, EjKim and Freedom,

When new to anything, it is normal to want to “get into it” as soon as possible.  I’d caution against that….  While you are still unsure what and where to buy to meet your goals, do sit back and keep reading and learning.  It is too easy to “Have a go” where you might risk everything on the hope that the on…[Read more]

In an attempt to use “what’s out there” (i.e. you can check it out yourself) I dug around in a pile of “climate change facts” as ranked by Google and found something that I think is – a. balanced,  b. fair,  c. easy to take in, and d. providing an alternate view to the current alarmism around the c…[Read more]

Suddenly we are seeing a “hotter than before” series of temperatures – the climate has dried out certainly, with a major drought having a marked impact on our farmers, and will thus bring higher prices for foods in the next few months.

The current bushfires are playing their part now too – like, when you have an uncontrolled (and uncontrollable)…[Read more]

My concern grows as folk (no doubt sincere in their intentions) are encouraged to rally in large numbers to disrupt our economy – blocking streets and bridges in our capitals to “make a point” about climate change. And now we have those who point to our recent bush fires as being CAUSED by Climate Change….

Now wait a minute !! Who was it…[Read more]

Another week has gone by now, and virtually all servos have followed their brethren to their current highs (around $1.70). But, using that website, one servo is easily identified in my area that has not lifted. Thus, I can top up at $1.41 saving nearly 30c a litre. Without using the website, I wouldn’t have known, as they are on a road I don’t…[Read more]

Hi Tom,
Wow – you certainly found a way to make it work for you and yours. More power to both of you for that great example.

What does Steve say often – “Success comes from doing things differently” and you seem to have that nailed. :)

Hi Tom,

Using a similar process it may be helpful for investors to determine a net worth $ goal and a date of achievement and then work out how much per day need to be invested/saved to achieve the goal, and then set about building a portfolio of assets to get there.

That is a great thought – I think it needs a little tweaking though as it is…[Read more]

Cool. So two self-contained units – one up, one down. Depending just where in Sunnybank you are, there may well be a need for doctors and nursing staff to rent nearby to the QE2 Hospital. Have you approached them to see how they are situated re “temporary accommodation”? Maybe QE2 might like to buy it – or, at least, they might show an…[Read more]
