I can't find the thread today? Where did it go?

The national PIA's are generally excellent. Since Ashley Church was exited from APIA it has been a waste of space controlled by less than honest self interested management. This doesn't mean many of...

But what statistics can't tell you is whether the investors are happy. i work with a lot of international investors who think that 5% return is amazingly good. In NZ Asian investors love anything...

Sir Bob says whatever will get reported. He doesnt give a toss and knows that the masses neither understand nor have the nous to act.

I have realized in recent times that we are (all) looking for an instant result to our investing. Even supposedly "savvy" investors are easily sucked in by promises of big returns.
The real smart...

Shouldn't there be some sort of minimum "have to at least pretend to speak english" test for PT "-)??

So am I!!!!!!!!!

You are joking right? Like it had a zero percent chance of succeeding when the NRA almost runs the country and the American Vets are help in god like status. Obama knew he would never succeed. He is...

Main news today in USA is global over supply as traders sell off indicate gold not likely to break 1400 for a long, long time.
But who knows?

Looking at NZ is too myopic though. It is a global problem. And largely influenced by the dance between China and the USA.
So in the USA the government bails out literally everybody, banks, large...

I think you have to decide what you think is going to happen in the next 3 to 5 years. Personally having survived the recession sort of and seeing the world still falling apart I am getting OUT OF...

Gold on the way down still. Every commentator, (although they can all be wrong) in America is saying to sell. It is expected to slide for some time. Real estate on the other hand :-)

I think they made it up. It's a load of bollocks is what it is.

Honest officer I am innocent of this rent :-).

Banks have different rules so hopefully a broker can respond. Last time I asked they would take 75% of net rents as income. Your equity is not an...

The coneheads here are saying gold has such a long cycle that adjusted for inflation it hasn't been doing well anyway and is more likely to be on the way down for some time.

Cypriot Central Bank I think. Cyprus is the central player it actually may be ECB but Cyprus is the one dumping according to the wires here.

The CCB sell off of 1.5 tons of gold has certainly upset the USA markets!

There has been running news in the USA today about the CCB selling 4 million ounces on Friday plus the Japanese government dumping gold. It's creating quite a bit of panic today.

There is no rort, it's just people looking for something to complain about. They need to get out more......

Because the liberal, whinging victims have no real news to report. Attacking the rich is a very profitable career choice now.

Expecting perfection from anybody in an imperfect world is a pipe dream though ain't it?

To be fair they were in a dangerous industry and knew the risk of death every day they worked. I think the dramatization and vicitmization of the company and government was reprehensible.

It was...

Tied into margin calls as raised by Speights is the electronic trading capability. It is literally impossible to compete with institutional investors since computers have replaced trade floor...

@sidinz. I know what you mean. I have spent times in some US slums and I have thought the kindest things to do for the children would be for them not to have been born. Even allowing for a lack of...

Unfortunately if you extrapolate this debate one can end up concluding that government dictated birth control is a solution. Oh hang on someone already tried that.......
