no idea how to invest $250,000 (conservatively)..., page-19

andrew - no idea how to invest $250,000 (conservat My suggestions:

1.
Do some investing courses at ASX and Tafes.

2.
IGNORE BROKErs and do your OWN homework.

3.
'Buy and Hold safe blue chips' is no longer appropriate.
You can not do that anymore as the great equity bull market since the early 1980's actually finished in 2000 although that fact has not entered public consciousness yet but trust me - it will eventually...

4.
The Baghdad Bounce from March 03 is OVER and the market is going to have a very overdue correction and Aust. should be in recession 06 or 07.

Cheers.
