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:

    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
