Few pointers for you Merv if you want to have an opinion that does not ramp property as an investment right now.

1. You must post on EVERY stock you hold. This is the ONLY evidence you can provide as PROOF OF OWNERSHIP, regardless of whether ANYONE ever posts on those stocks.

2. Of those said stocks you post on, ONLY those that have fallen since you first posted on them will be brought up. Losing on a speculative stock means you are an investing numpty, even though it has little to do with property anyway.

3. If you are unable to satisfy points 1 and 2, you will be asked to upload a copy of your trading account to prove ownership.

4. Point 1, 2 and 3 only apply if you are bearish on property. If you are bullish, you can pretty much make up whatever you want, plenty of examples on here of that, same old players.

5. If you don't currently invest in or own property you are poor, will never be wealthy, you work for the man, are a low income earner .... and your wife is probably about to leave you. Oh, and you live under constant threat of eviction from the all conquering and powerful landlord, who of course are also all CEO's of multi-national corporations (most likely trading as small business sole proprietor)

6. Point 5 precludes you from ever having made easy money from property in the past, you have to own NOW to make that claim.

7. If Point 6 applies, you got out too soon, any investment in those proceeds could never have outstrippped property growth since then, and you probably cry yourself to sleep at night because you missed selling at the peak.

8. Gold Coast is an investors haven, nobody has ever lost money there, and nobody every will. Any reporting to the contrary is a conspiracy theory concocted by bears. We know this because one poster from WA drove around and saw SOLD signs. Amazingly, the actual selling price meant nothing apparently.

9. Have fun, don't take them seriously, plenty of people look for objective advice on here especially those that see both sides of the fence on property .... and the ignore function is your friend for those that play the man and not the ball.
