^ Correct.
Subject memory assessment in the Soochow Gambling Task. Forty-eight subjects were required to report their behavior and preferences after completion of the game. (4A)
Most of the sample (36 subjects) had vivid impressions for high-frequency gain decks (A+B) (x2 (1) = 12.00, p < .01), (4B) but not high-frequency loss (C+D) (x2 (1) = 0.00, p = 1.00). (4C)
Additionally, most subjects (31 subjects recognized decks A and B) possessed a clear (but wrong) image for the overall monetary gain (x2 (1) = 4.08, p < .05); (4D) but a blurred image for overall monetary loss (x2 (1) = .08, p = .77). (4E)
After completing the game, subjects erroneously equated the high-frequency gains as the overall advantage.
Thirty one out of forty eight subjects indicated the favorable choice to decks A and B rather than C and D (x2 (1) = 4.08, p < .05). (4F)
Most unfavorable choice they had memorized were decks C and D which possessed the high-frequency loss and positive expected value (x2 (1) = 8.33, p < .01).

How do you feel now that you have lost money during the term?
Yes I fixed at that rate for two of mine back then. No regrets 5 years of P&I and additional payments means they are cash flow neutral ie rents cover all outgoings. So all I need to do is find a rate at 6.5 or lower in a few months and they will continue to pay themselves off. Good thing about 2009 was it was the bottom so go the properties cheap and the current value are up 50% - damn should have bought more back then! Oh well roll on next bottom of the cycle ? 2017
Question for you- with the interest only when do you start having to pay down the principle and can the banks force you to start paying it back earlier?

I guess I will find out during the next down turn around 2017, when banks start to alter the lending rules to suit their needs again.
I heard banks did that to their customers back in 2008/2009, but I will have a low LVR by then (already below 50%), so I probably won't be on their radar.

How do you know there will be a downturn around 2017????
Also, you mentioned your loans are all interest only, so are you planning on making lump sum payments to bring the LVR rate to below 50%, or are you ASSUMING the properties will go up in order for that to happen.
You mentioned you were a novice at the start of this post, I don't see any evidence to see that has changed, unless I'm missing something?

Oh come on you guys, leave Gary alone. There will be a downturn in 2017 because Ron says so.
Now Ron may have been wrong about the last downturn timing but hey, cut him some slack. You can't get more mentoring students if the downturn is like tomorrow, it has to be a few years out. Far enough away so that the students can get in and buy.
Then of course when it does hit, you turn into a mentor who helps people with problems etc. It's all gold baby.Squadly dinky do!
