Hi all, I've recently started getting into programming with the intent of doing it as a hobby/side source of income and am currently trying to get my head around Java by doing Helsinki Uni's Object Oriented Java Course. If there are any people in Melbourne who would be kind enough to give me...

I'm going to Japan at the start of December. The exchange rate has been pretty stable for a while, but I'm wondering if people think there will be changes over the next 4 months. Should I exchange now or doesn't it really matter when?

Really shows how important independents are. It's 25c more in Melbourne.

When silver was $40 and people would snap up 10oz bars for $450 in hours. Now $2 over spot sits for ages haha.

I'm watching a cool show for the first time and they use bitcoins when they steal money and send it anonymously to another account online.

I'm going to the U.S in a week and I've watched the dollar go from over 97 to under 92 in the last month. Somebody tell me what it is dropping so hard when the U.S is printing like crazy?

I thought I'd be first to say what we all know is going to happen now :p Bring on the new mining boom, higher wages, lower utility prices, reduction of regulations, the end of over priced housing, the recognition of bitcoin as legal tender, the introduction of legislation to move to a gold...

Lately I've noticed a lot of auction posts where people state that they have a reserve price (but it's a secret) and then they also give a minimum starting bid price that is usually above spot but way below their (secret) reserve. Is there any reason they can't just make their reserve price the...

I was surprised to see Molyneux making predictions about the Australian economy, what are your thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB5ihHGsm2o

I have a feeling this is going to be the next boom sector, is anyone in on it? The fact that industrial and recreational use is being starting to be legalised in US states just adds to the prospects.

Hey all, I'm looking to buy a sapphire to have set as s gift for the missus. While thankfully online wholesalers are much cheaper than jewellery stores, I was hoping one of you hobbyists could help me out. Preferably it would be between 1 and 2 ct and as brilliant as I can afford :p I'm looking...

Am I the only person who has had there eyes glued to the silver chart this week as it gets closer and closer to $26 before it bounces up 20c? D: I know it sounds bad, but I really want it to break $26 and get down to like $24, but it won't budge :'(

I'm not trying to start any trouble, but I've noticed that some member called 'goldpelican' has a ridiculous post count of 14,258. Since there are 391,505 posts in total that means that he has posted roughly 4% of all posts. This is not fair, he shouldn't be allowed to post that often, the 1%...

Since the BoJ is planning to double their monetary base over the next two years, should that mean the value will halve? I'm just wondering because I'm planning on travelling to Japan at the end of the year, but I might push it back 6 months if it's cheaper.

Considering 99% of Australian problem don't consider gold or silver a store of wealth, why should we assume that in a Cyprus type situation people would want to pay top dollar for bits of metal. I think cash is king there at the moment? In Argentina was it the people who held there cash in other...

Seeing a few Stackers going crazy over bitcoins has made me wonder about alternate ways of making money (I couldn't figure out how to buy them). What I've come up with is a bit of a scheme using my sportsbet app, basically I'm spamming lots of low risk bets (all under $1.50, most under $1.30)...

I'm not sure if it's just me or everyone, but when I click pm on someone's profile etc the default pm to name is my own - even when replying to pm's! So I keep accidentally pm'ing myself which is getting a bit tiresome. Jamie.

Just popped into the uni library and was glad to find The Road to Serfdom and Atlas Shrugged as well as being able to order in Bureaucracy and Human Action. Should be stimulating, however the size of Atlas Shrugged is a bit intimidating! Sorry I couldn't find the General section :/ However I'd...

Where is the best place to buy in dips? When spot goes up so do prices, however the same can't really be said for when it goes down. What sites or dealers are usually pretty quick to respond to fluctuations and not just become "out of stock"?

Just thought I would count my ounces to see if I was close to 100 yet (silver) and was stoked to find I have almost 150 :D I understand I'm a small fish but I'm still very happy. Having said that I noticed that I've misplaced a large (for me) chunk of Australian and American pre-dec and can't...
