  1. Murphy reincarnated
  2. Rising due to inevitable recovery or dead cat bounce after a huge drop. Equilibrium is reached between panic sellers and opportunists who think it's now a bargain. Oil price helps a little for general positive outlook on oil stocks, but somewhat negligible effects on a long term stock that isn't a producer/major. It'll be important for 88E come any sort of JV / farm out deal.
  3. Oh bay bay...might just have found the floor. Think it'll be slow from here, whether it sinks or ramps
  4. This shit's chess it ain't checkers
  5. That's some mad impulsivity^ Indicative 2 cents on 88E...could we have hit the floor of the sell off for now? Bought a packet at 1.8 yesterday. No question the share will ramp up a cent or so prior to the 6 month return from sabbatical...if not short and sharp, then maybe even a slow crawl to that over the 6 months. So there's money to be made short term...just need to determine where the floor is.
  6. 9k buy in...20k worth of modifications...that's 20k saved from stacking shelves for $14 an hour...and 1000 hours poured into the project itself Worth about 1k these days...once finished? I reckon I win/lose...
  7. I'm still playing Counter-Strike with teenagers...shit is just fun and I've decided that's what life is for Mind you, some of them respect it when someone nearly twice their age can beat them at it...others rage up...
  8. My Calibra is you with your Mustang, but worse because it's worth f**king nothing and it's got thousands of dollars in it like a $1500 Quaife LSD that I can't use in anything else lol
  9. Stupidly, I'd be less attached to the GTR. That GTS-T has seen some shit, man. Which makes conceptual sense as the former would make a better track car. And a much more expensive write off
  10. Truth
  11. Car's been with me for 9 years now...fark where has that time gone. I have that thing where people have irrational attachment to cars. It's been with me through the best and worst times of my life
  12. Good contender for a replacement! Problem is I love the uniqueness of Skylines these days. Call it attention whore, but Skylines turn heads these days even if it's because people remember them as hoon mobiles.
  13. I have those feelings with my R too and it's not even on the road yet. It seemed more fun as a <20k car that I would be able to track occasionally. Now it seems irresponsible to have so much money tied up in a 20+ year old car when I could sell and get something cheaper or newer. Maybe I'm just finally growing up... ...nah
  14. Mind you some thieving cunts already ruined the perfect paintjob trying to steal her from work a couple months ago by ramming the rear bumper with another stolen car and breaking the front grill
  15. R33 GTS-Ts going up in value...becoming less attractive as cheap track cars... With my fresh paintjob and the above, a dilemma exists whether to go back to the track and have some fun at the risk of putting it into a tyre wall, or preserve it for future worth
  16. The company I work for used to be privately owned by a CEO who cared more about giving people/families jobs than profit. We had a board in the foyer with names on 20, 25 and 30+ years of service honours - no one wanted to leave the company and that's what I was told when I joined up. In my first two years I think I saw one employee leave. Sold the business to an ASX200 company. These days there is a new staff member coming and an old one leaving on average every 2 months. No one is happy. Morale is down and people are getting overworked with more pressure to come - they will leave once they've had enough and be replaced with fresh blood who will one day wear out too. Obviously things are going to change with a publically owned company, but the way they went about the transition of corporate culture without acknowledging how things were before and treading carefully, was f**king terrible. New company culture fosters backstabbing, handballing, ladder climbers, ridiculous bureaucracy, written accountability at every measure, lots of expected overtime, a management-centric HR department etc. All bout the bottom dollar. Short term they've boosted profits due to working people harder, it I see long term decline from the lost experience and recruiting of people who have no idea about the industry.
  17. Thing that's been getting to me lately is the atrocious spelling, grammar and proof reading skills of senior management. Is it not prerequisite of such positions that you be an effective communicator with excellent communication skills, as the job vacancies lead me to believe?
  18. Corporate life in a nutshell: People happy to handball you tasks Moment you ask them for a favour in return..."not our department"
  19. Do you think people with power are going to relinquish so easily? I mean that's Marxism 101.
  20. Crypto's biggest advantage is also its biggest barrier to mainstream adoption. Nobody in capitalist countries wants part in a decentralised currency, only hipsters/Marxists/socialists. Second biggest barrier is exactly what you've touched on - the quantity of each crypto may be limited by algorithm, but the number of cryptos themselves is not - waters down the efforts of each as they fight for adoption. The widest adoption thus far is arguably Bitcoin and until I see it move beyond internet trading and the occasional pub/hotel/restaurant, I don't believe it will take off.
  21. Oil is in recovery mode off the back of OPEC cuts - highest crude price since mid 2015. Rather than leveraging off what minerals I think people may use, I'm going to leverage off what I know they will use. It's a no brainer to be in some sort of oil stock while it's still low. Even those conventional pools on Icewine are going to look attractive soon if crude continues to escalate.
  22. Long term holder...eyes on the big prize. Nest and acquire. SP has been taken back to before much progress...bargain is an understatement if you believe in the company fundamentals.
  23. Who puts their life savings into spec stock options that expire in march next year and kicks up a fuss when the company says brb 6 months? Can't take kids on a holiday now...idiocy.
  24. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
