Re: Competing for a property with multiple buyers
We saw a property we loved the other day, a real bargain. Met the owner, and checked the property over with an agent and a trusted architect/renovator. We made an offer on the same day, along with at least 1 other interested party. The Agent said it"s first come first serve . Whoever passes mo...

Re: Tax Avoision (“…I say, ‘Avoision’”)
I asked my wife…
“Hypothetically, If I died tomorrow would you remarry?”
Well I’m happpy to report she said no!
Said she’s worried about upsetting Kai or Ren.
Which is odd as those aren’t the names of our kids..
I’ll see myself out.

I’m liking the graph view and dragging things around like I’m Ender from “Ender’s game”*! * Being “narrowly read” this was just the second time in my life that I’d read the book before seeing the movie. I’ve seen well o...

Re: Need advice: take profits?
Oh shit. I’ve just realized that after 8 hours slaving over spread sheets for work I’m increasingly using excel to track all manner of personal stuff. I am finding that I am using spreadsheets to keep information on things not just numbers-related. I am doing some research on storage cabinets right...

Re: Need advice: take profits?
Well, gosh darn it... I will look into creating accounts at Monex for my kids. It will beat having to keep track of things on a spreadsheet. Oh shit.

Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
It's just mind boggling that they have documented 200 permanent residents who are in arrears for pension etc and they are making laws about it.

Re: Yen falling like a stone
If your a "Investor" or "Speculator" it doesn't matter. The last 5-10 years the markets have shifted in the terms of inflation/volatility. Hyperinflation is not really on the table but for a long term Stagflation environment most likely. Maybe another market crash in USA will ha...
