Familar stories on this thread. When I purchased a house my mates told me I was mad, when I sold it last year I was also mad. When I spent up on shares during the GFC I was mad and now I'm buying PM's I'm a total nut job. My wealth has been growing while these people are growing debt against an asset class (housing) that is now retracting. I have friends that tell me houses never go down, they simply can't, end of story. I'm a mad man, nut job and proud of it. Nothing is fool proof, but when the general public is certian you're doing the wrong thing it's a good sign.
Hey guys, again thanks for all the warm felt replys its refreshing to join a forum with so many active members. As for the poker, well http://www.pokeraust.com.au is a site im in the process of making its about 70% complete and should be completed by the end of the month. I myself am a avid poker player, like slam i play quite regularly online and am a successful cash game player. i made the above site as i feel there is a market for staking and coaching localized in Australia, i will be providing a service which will hopefully help pub poker players transition to online poker with the mentor and guidance of winning players, its how 99% of winning players today transitioned informally so why not make it formal. If anyone would like to chat more about poker, drop me a PM or otherwise you can wait for the forum to become active on my site and i can help you "Mitch"
