Jerzy, your example is what most brokers hate.

A reply that I felt needed clarification. You then ask:-

Where did you get the impression that my comments applied to your example

Which example are you referring to then? We must be talking about the same thing, as I have only stated one example.

What do you…[Read more]

Although I havn’t posted many replies on this forum, I am an avid reader and have been for a couple of years. This will probably give him a big head, (hope he’s not reading this) but I quite like reading TMA’s post’s and often find myself agreeing with him whenever he has a vibrant discussion with some of the…[Read more]

Jerzy, I read your post just fine and my response was adequate.

No, you did not read my first post accurately, because you somehow assumed that I stuffed around a broker, when there wasn’t one involved. Sorry for feeling the need to…[Read more]

No broker was harmed or put out during the making of my loan application, so rest easy my friend.

Jerzy, your example is what most brokers hate. They do a heap of work to get you a better deal elsewhere and you end up staying with the lender that has been…[Read more]

I dealt with the local branch manager face to face.

Surely if you had read my post properly you would have noticed that I did not mention a broker being involved. Also, I did state that it was 8 years ago, and you would have to admit, being a broker yourself, that the finance industry was a…[Read more]

I went through this crap with my bank about 8 years ago.

I put it to them, that as a loyal customer of theirs for the previous 6 years, I found it unfair that loyalty was not being rewarded. Their response, more or less, was bad luck mate. I shopped around and found a better loan elsewhere. All of a sudden my bank came back and decided…[Read more]

I would be very wary of any quote that states that AMP has risen 132% over any period of time.

I had unloaded my AMP shares 5 years ago for $15.90. Now they are around the $7.50 mark. Multiply those figures by 20,000 and imagine your property, worth $318,000 in 2000, and holding on to that property, only for it to be worth $150,000…[Read more]

You’ll find that on the general political scale, it is the Tories, led by Honest John Howard, as the party which espouses the rhetoric within Mein Kampf (spelt correctly).
Mark Latham would prefer little kiddies read something by Trotsky or Karl Marx. No relation to Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo or Gummo.
