nothing like working your power out by something that you cannot accurately measure..

It's binary and measurable...you're either in front of someone or you're not. Heaps more relevant to the real world use of most of these cars than the idiots throwing dyno figures at each other or trying to run 400kw through stretched ling longs.

That's cool, they've replaced cheap disposable lighters you can store in your cigarette pack with a lighter-sized conjoint twin obstrusion for your phone that depends on its battery, just to rule out something for you to do when your phone battery is dead

What pocket space, your phone now takes up more

88E is stalemate at the moment it seems...anticipation peaked, everyone holding their positions now until news

Spend enough time on there and you learn to weed out the cheersquadding and downramping. The former is useful for at least making you feel good about your shares but the really useful info is few and far between - good in depth analysis of fundamentals, some technical analysis (even though I don't really believe in that), people who can translate technical jargon into lamens terms for you.

What I think HC is most useful for is discovering volatile stocks (usually the most discussed) that will have movement whether up or down. This is what you want if you're trading short term.

My dad is trying to get me into options... That shit is a bit complicated, but seems if you make a good call you can essentially make money without committing to buying shares to spending much moolah.

Options 101

Options are good if you believe in the company's medium to long term success, but want to minimise risk investing in it, as they reduce the capital required to hold a given number of shares. They also allow you to take on a larger position with the same capital you would ordinarily have spent on shares.

Just like heads (regular shares), they can be bought and sold for a profit without actually ever converting the option into a head. They will usually trail behind the price of the heads by around the cost of conversion. 88e had options that cost 2 cents each to convert and were once traded for 0.1 cents. Convert to a head and each share has cost you 2.1 cents... = 250% profit if you sold at today's prices.

The two big downsides to options are 1. You have to come up with the capital/cost to convert the option into a share (not a huge problem, as you're usually converting an option because it will make you money, but a speed bump nonetheless), and 2. A time sensitive risk. Most options have an expiry date, so if the option has not been worth converting to a head in the meantime and it expires...so too does your money/investment.

Hope that helps!

thnx m8. ill just wait for 88E to hit 18c (which should be next week).

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
