    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    BTW seeing you think neither lower spending nor more appropriate tax levels are going to help the budgetary woes of America I'd love to hear your magical solution. If your solution involves printing money save it, I'm not interested in hearing a solution that seizes up lending and creates cost...

    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ocean don't get peoples opposition for public debt which results from a bloated and quite obviously inefficient government confused with what you perceive to be an outright opposition to debt. Huge public debt finances a monstrous government that always oversteps its role in providing defense...

    Australians swoop in on U.S. foreclosures

    REAL ESTATE 
    Tell me where you are finding residential real estate yielding 7% in Australia. 100km in any direction from the Sydney CBD you'd be hard pressed to find much better then 5-6%. Commercial real estate is another story 8-12% yields with good tenants are not unheard of if you know where to look and...

    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Government workers are already too often getting huge pay compared to private sector workers. Simply cut budgets of most departments 10-30% and they will immediately have a major incentive to save money, they either cut out waste or they'll be out of a job. If you are not gonna cut a budget...

    The modern tech CEO: Barefoot and 21

    It says $1m last year. My guess is that the VC money is to be used for marketing and development of similar games. You sound jealous, broke (and stupid). It is about making sacrifices. Not many successful businesses were built by leaders who weren't willing to put in long hours and put aside...

    The modern tech CEO: Barefoot and 21

    Are you a budding psychologist or something? This fellow wakes up everyday to do the things he loves. He will probably go on to reach some level of success thanks to the huge sacrifices he made, maybe he will hit the jackpot and retire in a few years, in the meantime you will be enjoying your...

    What is the new model for investment banks?

    Banks like GS, JP Morgan, MS, Barclays, Citigroup, CS, Macquarie Group? We all are familiar with their old model where they'd by assets up at any cost, sell off divisions and refloat the asset on the market with huge placement and ongoing management fees attached or alternatively they'd use...

    HUGE Fastlane biz opportunity . . .

    HOT! 
    Most likely will be the case. I would not be surprised to see that it involves successful consolidation of a large but fragmented industry whether it be an example of a company that has successfully horizontally integrated or an internet company that was the best example of it's type and...

    What the New Congress Means for Markets?

    This is killing our exporters and also our retailers (because it is often easy and cheaper to shop on ebay then it is to buy local now). It is terrible that we are punished for being a fiscally responsible country and not running up massive amounts of debt. I think QE2, possible future QE (3...

    What maintenance costs are involved with mid-size offices?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Oh, from what I see on here I get the feeling that credit is still extremely tight (almost frozen) in America. Even throughout the good times standards for lending in Australia were strict (we never had subprime borrowers and we never had low/no doc loans) but I don't see a cash flowing...

    $1 domains on godaddy

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I recently registered (and hosted) a domain at GoDaddy. I found it was too easy to be upsold on all manner of things but it was far too difficult to use their control panel to manage my email account and host my password protected blog (I wanted to use the blog as a portable to do list and...

    What maintenance costs are involved with mid-size offices?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I have stumbled across a listing for a three story office (Australia): Vital stats: Circa 9% cap rate. Circa 2500 sqm (25k sqft) floor space. Circa two decade lease (with options considered). Near new building so it has tax (depreciation) benefits. Lessee has 100% of property and has no...

    Digg's Hole Getting Deeper

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What is it that has turned Digg's fortunes sour? Is it a drop in advertising due to the downturned economy? Is it a matter of less eyes viewing the advertising on Digg due to over-moderation and 'cliques' that developed on the site? Did they fund their 60 employees from venture capital money...

    U.S. Citizenship For Sale

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sounded like he was saying USA in the year 2010 is scaring away bright minds because of tax/debt/regulation. I didn't see or get a hint of any racial overtones in his post.

    I'm good at Sportsinvestment, but my capital is too low

    HOT! 
    Perhaps if he feels betting limits and changing odds prohibit selling tips then the best way to scale it would be as I said: Publish an ebook outlining the general philosophy and giving real world examples of his strategy in effect. Have some software coded that enables people who partake in...

    I'm good at Sportsinvestment, but my capital is too low

    HOT! 
    x2. If he is making solid returns with his strategy and feels his methods protect him against major loss I don't see why he'd need to change his fastlane vehicle; the the only issue is of course his lack of capital. I think he ought do do like MJ said, find a few thousand people who would...

    Warren Buffett: Forget gold, buy stocks

    HOT! INVESTING 
    It is really funny when Buffet cries out for higher taxes. He knows he could face en effective tax rate of 90% and still bring in 9 figure income annually so of course he will campaign for more taxes. Social justice is a farce and is merely an excuse to enable irresponsible government spending...

    In my view Aussie real estate is due for a crash or contraction.

    REAL ESTATE 
    As for making money of my fear in a decline I closed out shares in a mineral company today with a 12% gain on the month and now all my money is in AUD. I feel there will be a spike in AUD when rates rise on Nov 2nd but after that I am not sure what to do. One option would be to buy NOK, I...

    In my view Aussie real estate is due for a crash or contraction.

    REAL ESTATE 
    I have thought Aussie housing prices have been unsustainable for years, no matter how strong other aspects of our economy are (mining, agriculture esp) I have really struggled to see how average housing prices 9 and 10 times averages wages could be maintained. It was not until last week...
