for every win its likely to be 10 losses, agree though ash oppertunity to make good money has been there a couple of times when market tumbles "most in XXXX years" just gotta have the knackers to jump in and hold on tight haha

And yeah, amazing how much you learn and how quickly. It's one of those things where everything is so fascinating you just want to soak it all up.

What I found cool, but dangerous, was the abilty to buy and sell in the same day...with money you don't even have, because of buy and sell contracts being settled on the same day. As long as you had the money to cover the potential loss, say a very conservative 50% fall in the space of a day, you could invest double what you actually have as long as you sell before market close...

And then there's margins lol...

Agreed luck does play a big part. You can do all the research and fundamentals on a company but it may turn south, and south quick due to market sentiment. A company may be structurally sound but the market is driven by greed and fear.

Back in the hay day the most I made was $15k in a week, this was off $12k capital. But have also lost just as much.

These days I just put money in the mortgage :D

yeh i rkn insider trading must be rife, i mean stamping out is almost impossible if you happen to know a guy who knows a certain company has just won/is about to wina big contract or find a new oil field gas line etc then BOOM jump on that shit

lol insider trading is so rife it's almost unwritten law...only have to look at number of trades made a day before big announcements...complete horse shit but there's no way to prove it. ASX query goes "please explain the big price rise/fall and sudden heavy trading in your stock" "blah

blah we blame market fluctuations and release of quarterly reports".

Even the pros get f**ked up in this day and age. For every successful investment story you hear about there's at least another that doesn't go so well. And too many guys attributing all their success to skill, when luck is half of it and someone has to come out on top. I remember all the cunts who were going on about how they predicted the GFC etc. didnt hear a peep from them before it happened!

A lot of them get greedy though.

I know a few already in that boat. Some that'll have to now hang onto the stocks for a good 6 months before its viable to sell. Simply because they wanted that "extra couple %"

I say fk it, if you've made over 10% - sell. If it's at 30% then good on ya.

People get regret that they sold before the "peak" in many instances but you cant have that attitude or you'll go mad

Lol was just wanting to see how someone that had to pay for a holiday with a credit card, has a vested interest in anything

You cannot be serious... >_<

Not really.. only said that to make him feel a little better lol

Who gives a shit anyway. Dezz obviously does though, cheeky curious cunt

I was always one to cash out as soon as I'd made a few dollars. Same with any game at the casino. Don't care what could have been if I've still got something out of it. A mate on the other hand, he's held onto one share through around 4 big peaks and troughs, refusing to sell and buy back in each time that I've advised him to...he could have more than doubled his money by now if he listened to me. I didn't have the guts to follow my own advice, it's easier to make decisions on money that isn't yours. I don't know what he's waiting for though...

I travelled all over Europe, as well as L.A,, Vegas and San Francisco, and paid cash.

But thanks for thinking of my feelings :cheers:

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
