Or this EST in which case we have another almost 16 hours! http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/na/est.html ... Yeah I know ... But it's boring when the world didn't end as predicted.

Was it AEST or AEDT then? :) http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-country/time

$34.04 ... and thanks!

Or do what I've done for years - as your portfolio grows, cross-collateralize and that can fly under the need for insurance. Also agree it is a rort - it's insurance for THEM in case you cannot pay/they cannot sell under repossession (or sell too cheaply) - but they'll still hound you for every...

Good creative thinking - apart from the other issues mentioned above, there would be an implied CGT issue for the future - ie if your selling price is lower, you will have automatically incurred a larger potential CGT liability (when it comes time to sell, if that ever happens). Perhaps GP will...

Yeah I just saw that email from the PM. Why the massive premium hiho, any idea? (I can hear the response already: "Because they can.") http://www.perthmintbullion.com/au/Buy-Silver-Coins/10kg.aspx Quite fancy one though (not at that price), make a nice talking point on the coffee table.

It's an "NGO" I believe = Non Government Organisation An NGO is essentially similar to a corporation (in the RBA case the NGO is wholly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia), but they have a whole set of "get out of jail free" cards ie wrt Directorial accountability and Governance issues they...

I believe they can be read remotely - I had presumed that this meant very remotely ie via IP traffic down the power cable itself. Think about the power (no pun) that also confers ... Need to stage an apparent local outage? Switch off in bulk. Problems with an unruly populace ... Turn off the...

Nothing smart except yet another way to extract more dollars under the guise of "it will be cheaper". I think Michael West has it right here: http://www.smh.com.au/business/smart-move--but-consumers-pick-up-the-costs-20121125-2a1i1.html

I don't believe any official unemployment figures, especially when it is convenient to show a "recovery". A reduction in the jobless rate can be achieved by more people falling into the "I've given up looking for a job" bucket, which TPTB don't think is important enough to have in their...

He does have a funny handshake ... Seriously Tozak, that playbook would make a great novel! Or alternatively, a non-fiction horror story :(

Well done! Doing what many people never get around to ... I think the membership site idea has merit - if your objective is to include some "user-generated-content" in the book and snag the mindsets available on this ahhh ... "diverse-thinking" forum! ;)

Not completely pointless, the mechanics are exposed and worth knowing. It peeves me that PayPal will so happily ONLY listen to the "buyer", it's about time they learned proper arbitration and some rigorous investigation in respect of chargebacks ... proof of postage essential eh? Tnx kevalie

They'd certainly act in a more mature way than the incumbents. 50:50 Boys & Girls?

Agree 100%, well said. Also manufactures yet another handy financial betting toy for the cronies to manipulate.

Hey REDACK, long time no-speak (well for me anyway!). Emotional side of things seems highly resentful to any authority - as is manifested quite physically by the Greeks (rightly or wrongly, their sense of outrage against the way we've all been ripped off is palpable). The issue is still that...

I like Nigel Farage's way of being to the point - and he tells it like it is! I'm in the UK at the moment - my goodness what a mess here and in the EU ... Farage tells us that he thinks that there are simply "bad people" in control of the EU Parliament (not just "bad decisions"!). And he...

Also note that if you do a lot of buying and selling within a given (shorter) period that the ATO may re-classify you as a trader and tax proceeds as income and not capital. Advice has been given elsewhere and is well worth searching and reading and reading and re-reading. If you are after...

Hello hotdogma and welcome to the bug! As per EM said above, I'd also read a recent thread by spannermonkey that suggests some trading etiquette (the thread is called ETIQUOT I think - don't worry, he can't spell!) You'll quickly get used to how much postage will be, but the seller will tell...
