Pursefattener replied to the topic NZ Data in the forum Overseas Deals 17 years, 9 months ago
In todays local paper I read an article by Bill Harcourt ( whoever he is ) who basically claims that NZ is now leading the world down .
NZ is the nearest country to the International Date Line and I well remember the 87 sharemarket crash where the NZ market was the first to feel the rezults .
Perhaps it is not faceious to claim that NZ is the…[Read more]

I don’t know the area too well . All I know is I wouldn’t mind living there [biggrin]
My niece has bought 30 acres of rainforest on the side of a hill which has amazing views out over the Coolum area . I think it was the Yandina area . She paid about 600k for the land and had bugger all left for a dwelling and has built one of those shed homes…[Read more]

Hmmm…. some very good points mentioned . I really don’t get why business should think for a minute they should be following any US trend however .
Yes to me it would seem a marvellous opportunity for a company to grow further , after all realestate is so useful when chasing finance to fund expansion etc .
I can relate to my own experience as a…[Read more]

Yes I think it comes down to your definition.
I have friends who own small farms on the outskirts of Geelong and Werribee . They are very business minded and run these holdings at reasonable profits where all the while the urban sprall continues getting closer every decade . Some of them bought decades ago and they’re laughing now .
There’s no…[Read more]

Well ……… some great advice there on bee management .
I initially wasn’t all that fazed about them being there untill I was out the back looking at all the mess I have to clean up and one stung me in my hair [angry2] . I’m really more concerned about them being in the back of the meterboard with all the wires and fuses in there .

Hello Mum
I have a triangular shaped block which is a battle axe block at the back of an IP that I own in a Vic regional town .
It’s not that big but I looked at building a small unit on it a few years ago after I bought it and took a builder friend around for a look and did some sums and decided against it for the time being .

Pursefattener replied to the topic How much do you read? in the forum Opinionated! 18 years, 1 month ago
Yes I’m a bit like you DL . If we bought every book or magazine going we would spend more than we do on the actual investing .
On average I read around a book a month . Also I find I buy books more when on holiday [biggrin] . Actually , I find it hard to go out of a good book store without anything….
Where do you source all your audio stuff DL ?

Gross you are completely correct . Making a success of a business is no easy way to wealth . However , with the right attitude and approach the results can be worth it . I should know . At Phill’s age I was in a similar position and there is no way known we would be where we are now without our business .
Yep it takes a lot of energy and it…[Read more]

Yes Gross , the percentages are against you when going into business and yes good financial control is required for success . No doubt about it . Nothing new here .
The rich people in my tree don’t mind if you shake it [biggrin]

Hello Phil
Generally I think Dazzling is on the right track . You have to do something different. Remember success comes from doing things differently .
The options you have outlined for yourself seem too sterile to me .
That’s what I think .
Now what about instead of going the industial path after you have secured the renovators delight down…[Read more]

Yes , 1990 was a hell of a year .
1995 for me was also an interesting year ( migrated to Aus with 600k from cashed up property sales and small business sale )
Shortly after that I lost about half of it…… arrrrrrggg… but that is another story [fear]

Great post HB.
A diamond is only a piece of coal that has been under pressure for a long time as the saying goes…
I wouldn’t mind attending one of those auctions where there is only the auctioneer , the bank and you.. Was there any phantom bidding [biggrin]… Are you talking about 1990 ?
