    Melbourne scene in 2020?

    I don't recall the details but he had health issues. It was about three years ago. When I spoke with Rick he said it didn't come out of the blue, at least that was my impression. One of the funny things about buying from him was you'd never know when you get a hold of him. There were no...

    Melbourne scene in 2020?

    I haven't bought much in recent years and mostly used to buy from Peter Davis (RIP). Who are the reputable and/or low margin dealers in Melbourne these days? Mainly interested in nuggets/roos but don't mind sovereigns, krugers, etc. Not so much XAG. I haven't logged in for a while, I sense...

    W Davis web site is down

    Yeah I just found out, still in shock. Apparently about three months ago. If anyone knows how I can get in touch with Rick who used to work with him drop a message in my inbox. Hands down my favourite bullion dealer in Melbourne - by a mile. Didn't give a shit about impressing customers...

    Rare Strategic Metals

    When considering 'exotic' metals be aware that they may have different storage/handling requirements and may not be as liquid when you want to sell. Gold is about as liquid as you'll get.

    GATA Chairman: JPM Has RUN OUT of Physical Silver

    Even if GATA was right about this, has anything GATA ever said been reflected in movements in metal prices? I can't recall any... boy who cried wolf and all that.

    Salary tax minimisation strategies

    The ATO has published info on how to test if you are a contractor (consultant) or employee. It should only be used as a guide but gives you an indication if this is a possibility. Things have changed from 10-15 years ago and there is a lot less flexibility. If you can operate as a business...

    Salary tax minimisation strategies

    Novated leases apparently can be good if your circumstances suit. Doesn't really suit me at the moment though so I don't have first hand experience. When you are PAYG you really are limited. If you have a vocation is can be performed remotely (i.e., programming, administrative work) then the PT...

    Safety Deposit Box

    Would you take that attitude with a business partner as well? I wouldn't want to be in any relationship with you by the sounds of it.

    Safety Deposit Box

    No. That's not a great way to build trust.

    Home Mortgage and PMs

    1. What do you expect to be paying in interest? (i.e., 6-7-8%?) 2. What do you expect as an annual price change if you buy PMs? It depends on your expectations and risk appetite.

    How one man got 2000 ounces of silver from the bank legally.

    I did that once with 20 cent coins and scored a wavy 1966 version. If you did that with one dollar coins and scored a mule then that would be a nice little earner. 50c pieces can be fun to go through with all the different versions but you're unlikely to find anything of great value. Just be...

    Redundancy money to spend

    Anything but super. Don't put it in super. Too many strings attached. So what did you do?

    What would you do in my situation? Lump sum of fiat

    At a similar age I traveled until I was broke multiple times, but I had a different set of circumstances. Personally I'd look to at least pay down half the debt (~10k), keep 10k for a rainy day, and use 5k for travel. it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing type decision.

    Thailand, this is not a coup.

    I thought Faber lived in the north of the country (not an island).
