    Thanks yman , yeah always had an interest in them but as l say trading them's a lot different to holding them and deciding on those eh.

    No worries l'll check them out.

    There are a number of Vanguard funds just on the ASX. VAS (bases on the ASX 300 index) is probably the most popular, but there's a list on Investment Products

    I once invited some people around to look at my decaffeinated coffee table.

    They couldn't tell the difference.

    Cryptos are great...but a punt as opposed to an investment.

    Stick to shares/funds with your $100 per week.

    Reckon there's much of a run left in them ? l've been following their charts last few years , traded them for awhile , but most of them seem to be fizzling or going nowhere now , apart from the few main ones. They've certainly done some stuff.
    But nah no way l'd put any good money on them as a hold , few 100 maybe haha, but bitcoin and a few others are already so dear now it's hard to imagine they can go much further anyway and most of the others aren't really doing much buttt, who knows eh.
    the 60 dollar question.

    Some random thoughts (pun intended)

    Offset account on the rental property loan

    Salary Sacrifice To Super

    Microinvesting (Raiz, Comsec Pocket, Rate Setter, Stake, Carrott)

    HISA (Welcome the NeoBanks 86 400, Up Bank, Xinja)

    Save and every 6 months or once a year tip it into a low cost LIC or ETF

    Lastly, Casino (roulette), Lotto, Pokies, Sports betting :D

    We're talking about $5,200 a year here right? I think the best answer is probably "not to spend to much time thinking about it".

    $200 a month set up as a regular investment into CFS Australian geared share fund and don't check the balance for 20 years. Whenever you feel like checking the balance go and spend the other $200 on something that takes your mind off it.

    Its the answer I would give if any other investor asked me. The answer 95% of the time should be something simple like "into super" or "into the offset account".

    At some point in an investor's life, its important not to sweat the smaller stuff, and to keep your time and focus on the bigger picture.

    How about part ownership of a big business that makes a decent lot of money, has government support (despite occasionally getting accused of unethical practice), and pays around 7% pa cash returns?

    Minimum investment required is $510, so you can put money in every few months?

    But funny , l dunno how gold would turn into much it's only been bouncing around 100 or 2 difference the last few years. l suppose it will take another run at some point but usually once gold settles it's a long time between drinks unless another crash comes along.
    l was gonna buy into a silver company a few years back that was suppose to go wham but in the end it's hardly moved in 3yrs so dunno about silver. don't think l'd expect much.

    Thinking something with real potential like bitcoin , if it fizzles tough , not much money , but if goes bang , could be anything.

    Crypto- As much fun as the casino :D


    Bitcoin (BTC) has crashed. No one really knows why but in my model we should be in for "good" news on the China trade war or some such China-related information that is strong for the Chinese currency.

    This is only a theory but if it is correct, bitcoin will either rally vertically if no news breaks or the news will appear very soon. This is being written at 12 p.m. GMT September 25 and the news ought to be out there by no later than the end of the week. If I’m wrong and there is no such news and the price stays down or falls more still with no positive trade war news then my bitcoin theory, which has served so well, will be severely challenged.

    In any event, bitcoin has crashed. The dreaded flag has broken to the downside and the bottom is anyone’s guess.
