someone can tell me they made 100% out of AMP shares and i can go buy some on the market if i feel like it.

i dont have the cash to buy another decent property particularly when the market is a bit overheated and with all the taxes and add-on costs etc. there is also the risk…[Read more]

imagine your property, worth $318,000 in 2000, and holding on to that property, only for it to be worth $150,000 today.

This scenario is virtually unheard of in real estate, including all the two-tier marketing horror stories, yet it is common in the share market.

Alinta Gas +37%
Amcor -7%

Chipper,

One swallow does not a summer make.

How much did they make in the last five years?

The same issue applies with property until the end of 2003. Most people with any property made money in those preceding years
