This is pretty much what i have observed. I have a FHSA with CBA, and i think it is a great product, especially since i am set on buying a house soon after i graduate from university. More often than not (much more often), whenever it has come up in conversation, people have never heard of the...

I watched that three times as part of my study for a finance exam i had last semester :p: Turns out it was time well spent, when one of the questions was to discuss whether greed played a part in the GFC or not.

I re-watched Hitchcock's Rear Window last night. A little dated, and no spectacular explosions or CGI, but i think that is what i like about it :)

I thought the first one was good, not sure if i liked the second one though. I would not say any of them are my favourite movies, however.

I don't have the slightest clue what she was saying, but it sounded convincing! If i could fly to Europe for a month right now then i would, but life, aka uni and work, currently prohibits that :p: When i become more proficient i might try to simulate immersion by watching videos spoken in...

True, but thankfully that won't be a big issue for me. I can read Italian reasonably well by identifying keywords and using my knowledge of basic syntax. Because i have some relatives who speak Italian, i have quite a good vocabulary. The main reason i am doing this is because i cannot speak and...

If i go to Europe anytime soon, then i think getting drunk and rolling down my door steps may be my chosen mode of transportation :) I didn't think of that! Definitely something i will think about when i become more proficient. A few sources that i read did recommend the Pimsleur system...

Thanks! I hadn't heard of the Michel Thomas system until you mentioned it, so i did a little research and it seems that it is quite popular. I will definitely look into it :) Haha i will remember that for when i finally do get to Europe :p: I have heard a similar story from somebody else who...

How many people here are multilingual? Did you learn it naturally as you grew up, or much later in your life? I grew up speaking English as a first language, however some of my relatives speak Italian, and it was also the first language of both my parents, so it is not completely new to me...

Saving up for a deposit is exactly what i am doing as we speak :) I still have a few more years of university before graduating, after which i am planning on putting down a deposit. At the moment most of my money is in a normal high interest savings account, however i have recently opened up...

I don't know if i am just not looking in the right place, or maybe it is not available to the public, but does anybody know where/if i can access historical values of the UBS Warburg Australian Composite Bond Index? Alternatively, i am open to any suggestions on how i can proxy the past...

I get a thrill out of seeing other people happy or get enjoyment out of something i have done. I'd probably start by throwing a massive party with plenty of the most expensive tequila that money can buy for everyone :) Throw in a few flashing lights, a world class DJ or two, some dancers, and it...

I don't really know much about real estate and property markets, so i'd like to learn more about it. Can anybody recommend good introductory books relating to investing in Australian property markets? To be honest, I'm not really sure what exactly i am after, but if you have read a book...

Hmm i'm thinking that this thread would be better suited to the software and data forum. If a moderator agrees, i'd be happy to have this thread moved there.

Hey, I have been approached by somebody to write them a MS system test which buys when a particular criterion is met and closes the position in a fixed number of days after the buy signal occured. I have managed to write the code for the buy signal, however i am having some trouble telling...
