When I was ever so very young, I remember the odd bed time story that would rouse the spiritual passions of a young lad. Now what were they? Oh yes.
1. The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Charles Darwin.
2. The Art of War. Sun Tzu.
3. The Prince. Niccolo Machiavelli.
4. The House of the Dead. Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
5. Fear and…[Read more]

Hi all,
I know it sounds too easy to be true or either too much work. You can visualize all the tarred lungs, brown teeth, wrinkled faces, clogged arteries or amputated limbs you want (I’ve tried all the above!). I still believe you’ve got to ‘want to quit – period’! By that I mean do the incompatible to smoking and all it’s associated behaviours.…[Read more]

Hey Hotshot,
You’re 4 up on me dude!
Cheers,
Gats!

Hi Lynden,
Apologies for not getting back to you. I’m trying to find the bloody things! When I do I’ll get back to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers,
Gats!

Also Marc1 and Hotshot,
I couldn’t work out the Greek or Latin so last night I found the only ‘teach yourself a foreign langauge’ on CD. I turned it on before I went to bed last night, however the bloody CD kept jumping. I woke up this morning and now all I can do is stutter in Spanish!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Thanks Marc1(2,3,4,5,6..?),
Finally got to put an avatar onto my name!
Cheers,
Gatsby!
PS Now I’m an IT expert!

Hi Patricklynch174,
Steve has just released a CD of an interview he held with someone in the know re: NZ and all the implications. I’ve bought it but only started listening to it in the car today.
Cheers,
Gatsby.

Hi Mangoeater,
Sorry to say but at least by letting it go you you’ll be one step ahead in choosing a good pm and landlord insurance policy. I know this is cold comfort but it’s better than losing out on $100k?
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Hi LeighK/Kay,
The reson I mentioned the copyright is because on another thread a while back a guy mentioned that he had a ‘copy’ of a page of Steve’s wrap pack or ‘something to that effect’ that was photocopied. Steve posted that he wasn’t impressed so I’m not trying to blow wind up Steve’s leg re: copyright but it came to mind when I wrote the…[Read more]

Hi Timf,
Try ‘BOY EATS OWN FOOT IN FRIDGE’!……….Hell, it worked for me!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

My dearest Wallflower,
I just re-read my last post. OK, yes I admit I did have a crush on the good looking one in Scooby Doo cartoon (I think the other one with glasses was called Helen?). Anyway, getting back to ‘Wonder Woman’. I could never work out the ‘invisible’ plane she flew? After her adventure she would somehow find it as you masked super…[Read more]

Sorry Steve,
Seinfeild was the only sitcom that grabbed me (6 months before it ended! I then spent the next couple of years catching up on all the re-runs). I don’t know how I missed such brilliant writing. I’d have to say it was probably up there with Faulty Towers in script development (usually 2 or 3 threads that start out at the beginning,…[Read more]

Hi Lynden,
I have both but it may breach copyright?? I don’t mean to sound like a tight arse but post to Steve and if it’s cool, no problem. I believe knowledge should be shared, but knowledge earned is better utilized. Like I said though, if it’s cool by Steve, you’re welcome.
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Yes don’t let the lack of an avatar fool you, it’s still ME! Gatsby!!! I’ve just returned (literally) from a week climbing mountains in Dargo high country. I don’t have an avatar because I’m that bloody computer dyslexic that I don’t know how to add one. GeeeeeeeeeeZ! You’d think that real people look like cartoon characters in real life? I mean…[Read more]

Hey!, let’s not get too hung up about the age issue! I’ve only been investing in property for 4 years and 3 of those four years were dormant investing years until Steve’s seminar in March this year. Despite not having purchased another property yet, I have re educated myself financially and refinanced and consider myself to be a far more pro…[Read more]

LifeX,
Congratualtions! You’re not only on a path beyond your years but carving your own path at the same time! For all of us ‘oldies’ (whatever that may mean) someone once said to me that it’s never too late to become what you may have been. Jo, as always, your words and advice are not only encouraging, but inspiring (AND YES EVERYONE, I KNOW JO…[Read more]

Sairah,
I am by no means a whizz kid at all. Hell, I’ve been stressing out just going through a basic refinance. However this is my first refince so, it’s natural to stress out. Now that it’s nearly complete, I’m looking back on it in hindsight as ‘well, that was no big deal’. As tempting as using a buyer’s agent (and I’m assuming this is what you…[Read more]

Who’s up for the tennis tonight? I think Hewitt and Federer are playing. I’ve got to have an early night. Pity, this match really should be the final. If Hewitt does pull it off like he did in the Davis Cup Semi then I think he’ll probably go all the way. Go Hewitt!!!!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

I’ve already bought the ticket! Thanks again Steve for not only doing it for the price, but for just taking the time out to do it! Also I am enjoying Fast track 2! Again looking forward to the conference and meeting a few faces. The first conference kicked me out of a 4 year investing hiatus!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Kay,
LOL!!
Regards,
Gatsby!
