    Worst silver purchase.. Can you beat it?

    Not the worst/biggest loss around here, but my very first purchases of silver were at the start of 2010 through a MLM called Silver Snowball. Paid about $AU45 for an ASE per month when the spot price was about $AU20/$US17 :o Fortunately I was able to cancel my subscription a few months later...

    One-third of Australian households have no savings

    You might be onto something. The survey was apparently conducted by Ernst & Young on behalf of BT, but so far I can't find any direct sources (aka Googled) detailing the study's methodology, questions, etc. So all we've got so far is the news reports - which all so happen to come from News Corp...

    How To Save $$ to buy Silver!

    My workplace has an in-house cafe where I see the same ppl lining up everyday to buy their lunch. It's subsidised (& healthy) food, around $5-7 for a hot meal/wraps that would cost $10+ in an outside cafe - but still that's about 1oz of Ag a week (or 1oz Au a year). Honestly lunch doesn't have...

    When and how did YOU discover silver?? Share your stories!

    My first venture into silver was in Feb 2010 (i was 23) when I stumbled upon a silver MLM company, where for every four ASEs bought (either by myself or my sponsored downline), I'd receive one free ASE. Worked out costing me $49/coin with the $US exchange rate paid through a credit card - not...

    Westpac ordered to pay $2.7m for misleading client

    @nonrecourse @Crunchy Nut I think Kiyosaki in The Cashflow Quadrant talks about how sometimes successful B quadrant ppl wrongly assume that they'll automatically succeed in the I quadrant, and end up crashing and burning. Eg. someone who builds up then sells their business for $millions then...

    Big Big day for Greece tmrw.... What will they do?

    To be fair, if you think that 20yrs is too long a gap and makes the Bible unreliable, then let's make a similar comparison to other ancient manuscripts. Note the Time Gap between the date written and earliest copy/ies available, and the No. of Manuscripts: http://carm.org/manuscript-evidence...

    How much is an Olympic gold medal worth?

    Actually, the vast majority of Australian athletes who compete in the Olympics are considered amateurs, as opposed to professionals athletes (eg. AFL or NRL footy players) - in that they receive little to no payment for the countless hours of training, equipment costs, coaching and competitions...

    2012 Silver Kookaburras Sold Out At Perth Mint

    Somewhat kicking myself for putting off getting the Kooks earlier at a cheaper price until the last minute. Could've bought a roll from B/B 3-4days ago when it was $766 or thereabouts. Checked it last night (after receiving an email from another dealer saying it was sold out) and ended up paying...

    The Final Financial collapse?

    Because on average they get paid less than men (or take on jobs that don't pay as highly as those in male-dominated industries), and they also on average have more disruptions to their working careers - ie. having children and raising them (at least for the first few years). So yeah they live...
