28.83% p.a....not bad for a falling market....lol
The bank gives you 7% p.a....lol
The share market down 20% just this year
I know where my money will be parked....and buying
Although I do love to dabble in the speculative part of the sharemarket.
What I find amusing....actually staggering.... is that most people that fall on hard times either blame the broker, the bank , the agent, or subprime or the sun, the moon.......
how about just blaming yourselves for buying on 100% LVR's a McMansion....and then getting a credit card and buying a whopping big telly.
Cant wait for the day i hear someone say....
" I have to sell the house becuase i was a twit and bought a house that was not suitable for my income and then i pissed up the cash advance on the credit card and bought a big telly when the wife was pregnant".
House prices are overpriced....lol
Compared to what??......the house prices??......lol
They are what they are......
I bet my great grandma thinks my house at 900k is overpriced when she bought hers next door for 2.5k.
Its a bit like petrol.....everyone whingers about the price in Australia...overpriced, too high....again it is what it is.
Go fill up ya car in England.
why couldnt it happen here, page-31
