Chan,

I welcome differing opinions, I deal with them every day, I don’t welcome personal insults, which often infiltrate debates on this forum. In my previous post I’m trying to head off insults before they crank up.

Pisces,

It appears it doesn’t take much for you to get disturbed, since you so often describe things as “disturbing” you.

Speaking for Channel 9 only, would you like a Goebbels-type person sitting over my shoulder telling me what stories we should run, how they should be written and what pictures to use? Something tells me that perhaps you think…[Read more]

Hi

I think Bec might be right… heard Vic Deputy Premier John Thwaites on radio this morning, said he’s making an announcement to close loophole via legislation this afternoon…

Re: Bill’s warnings… I work for channel 9… we’re trying to get a story up for Melbourne’s National Nine News, but we need some “victims” so if anyone is one, or…[Read more]

Yes, I would suggest you read back through old threads, read books and learn as much as you can. If it was easy everyone would do it.

Hi guys,

It’s one the ABC’s news website… http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/

Quoted from prior post

“you’ve got to wonder whether certain statistics can suit a certain case”

ain’t that the truth []

The World Today – Thursday, 27 November , 2003 12:10:00
Reporter: Stephen Long
HAMISH ROBERTSON: A new study has raised concern about an issue that’s certain to feature prominently in the next Federal election, the very high cost of buying a home.

New figures out today put housing affordability at a new record low and prospects for first home…[Read more]

sorry FW I should have been specific, I haven’t been looking for props in Cranbourne… sister is in Lynbrook sharing a place with her beau… her boyfriend’s brother was telling me of exorbitant prices out Pakenham way too with the new releases…

westan,

I think we Tiger faithful are in for another long year somehow…

Not an unreasonable goal, but it’s a bit harsh to describe the greater population as lemmings I would have thought.

“Good, then do what we did and what a lot of our parents did, go buy something you can afford further out, and then further down the track you can trade up to the $400k home in suburb x.”

The problem I have with this quote, is that even out Lynbrook/Cranbourne way in Melb, houses are around the 330k mark. How far out do you expect people to…[Read more]

I reckon it’s absolute crap that housing affordability is better now than ever before, at least, in the capital cities it isn’t. I can’t quote stats to back me up, but with the median price for a house here in Melb over 370k, it takes a bloody long time to save up a 10% deposit let alone a 20% deposit, not to mention the chunk of weekly earnings…[Read more]

Hi Wayne

Just did a google search on Prechter, and yes it’s a bit scary… he makes some good points re: levels of debt that people have. When was it written though? I think it was 2002, but you might be able to correct me…

As a member of the media, may I point out that just because a piece of writing is placed on a website, doesn’t mean it was written by a journalist. If it’s on Neil Jenman’s site, it’s always going to be slanted, not balanced. Not all in the media are bad eggs, although some admittedly are.

FYI

This is a property INVESTING website, so why are you surprised there’s talk of money here?

This thread is going nowhere fast, if Steve wants to unlock, I’m sure he will.

Cheers

so Steve provides you with this website to learn from, and you don’t want to cough up to buy something that’ll help you… calling yourself stingy is selling yourself way short.

Hi DOINIT,

You expressed your opinion, others expressed theirs. Isn’t that the point of a discussion board?

cheers

No I’m a long suffering Tigers supporter in Vic
