A little concerned by the recent price drop here - it doesn't really make sense to me either. So I'm buying in hard, but doodoo is filling my pants based on the downward slope

Wow 80% in a year, that could never happen with a stock, I guess I've neglected "capital gains", the area where property beats shares hands down.

For the life of me I can't understand why you would be a landlord; Owning property is like owning shares, except: 1) Worse returns 2) Worse liquidity 3) Higher transaction costs 4) You waste your time trying to collect the rent, interviewing people and arranging repairs Unless...

Re: How successful are you. How successful you are is less about what you earn and more about what you save. Because let's face it, if you're on 50k/year, you can effectively eat at the best restaurants in Sydney twice a week or more - as long as your expenses are low. Whereas if you have...

1 of the reasons for food shortage is that America is paying its farmers to grow corn to be turned into car fuel. This not only eats up the supply of corn and pushes people onto corn alternatives (eg wheat, rice), it also encourages other farmers to switch to growing corn instead of other...

That's a rough figure based on the same fundamental analysis referenced earlier in this thread but taking into account higher Potash prices, which are not likely to decline any time soon given food shortages and the absence of any other major source of Potash in Australia. If their...

I am very pleased with this stock, and will be riding it to at least $4 over the next 12 months. Any similar no-brainers on the market atm?

Wow you've gone from knowing nothing about sunspots to being an expert on what they can and can't do in the space of 30 seconds googling for any articles you can find to support the preexisting opinion you held. I bow to your wisdom and expert knowledge. Show me where.

Learn the difference between radiative forcing and sunspot activity's direct impact on global temperature. Then get back to me. It isn't my job to educate people who are deliberately impervious to learning about something that would contradict their worldview. It isn't a matter of...

Gee whiz 2020Hindsight, thanks for linking me to a writeup on "solar forcing". I wonder if "solar forcing" and "sunspots" are the same thing. Oh wait, they aren't. So my point still stands, and you should please find out the difference between the two before continuing to talk about global...

You will note that solar activity has over the last 300 years progressed to historical highs, especially since 1950 where it has held at a pretty constant level of "extremely high". It has been like turning the temperature controls up on the oven. It takes the oven a while to heat up, but heat...

I don't hold the opinion I express, I was illustrating the ignorance inherent in stereotyping groups of people.

Global warming true believers have spent the last few years denying that sunspots affected global temperature, because admitting this fact would undermine all the "models" attributing historic temperature rises to CO2. It isn't possible to pin the recent low temperatures on sunspots without...

Subsidising medical care creates moral hazard by reducing the disincentive for healthy lifestyle. Providing free healthcare creates disease.

Vietnam was a disgrace, and any vietnam vet should be ashamed to walk alongside those who have fought in legitimate defence our country. The same goes for anyone who served in Iraq.
