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:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
