Hey 240volt and Tibbs, when are you two getting engaged?
Are we all invited to the wedding?

I feel like I'm watching a 90s rom com play out in real time between you two. You'll be walking your cavoodles in matching lululemon leggings in no time.

It’s one of those love hate relationships Bomber.
I can’t giveaway the ending like they do on Home & Away.
You’ll just have to keep watching, can give a hint tho, things really hot up next year when footy starts 😉

heck - saw that msn widget showing ASX -6.86% and nearly had a conniption, but it's just the stock price for the ASX itself, not the All Ords - that's only down 0.6% :relieved:
Gold & silver have gone berserk over the last 12 months, gold up by 56% and silver by 96%.

Always happens when there's uncertainties in the world.

A gold saver account is a good long term investment :thumbsu:
 
Rob Reiner has gone the way of Gene Hackman
Sadly it seems to have been more of a Phil Walsh situation.
Incredibly tragic.
 
Thank goodness for gold plated Commonwealth super defined benefit schemes, generous tax offsets and franking credits!
I’ve never looked into that but it’s to late for me as I retire on the 30th of this month.
Truthfully super was doing well and had given a good return.
It’s only been fkd up since Trump got elected. He decides he
wants to do something crazy it can take thousands out of your Super in no time. Think about it one crazy fker who lives a zillion miles away can have so much influence on your superannuation.
 
I saw that, unbelievable. Couldn't credit a Muslim man with acting heroically.
I wonder if that is the reason behind it, or if its just the fact that these sites are trying to get their reports out first at all costs.

So as soon as they see the video, they chuck it in an AI chatbot to make up a story that fits the video and then publish it. What's real or not won't matter because they still get their clicks and ad revenue in the first few hours before the real story comes out.

Then the other AI chatbots with live search, search and find that story and use that as a reference basis for their own responses on the matter, which Grok did in this case.

Here's an example that I just did in less than 5 seconds:
"When panic rippled through Bondi Beach, it was Daniel Mercer who moved toward the danger. A 38-year-old electrician from Newcastle, Mercer had come to Sydney for a weekend surf and a birthday lunch with his sister. Raised by a single mother who worked night shifts at a nursing home, he grew up learning responsibility early and spent his twenties volunteering with surf lifesaving clubs along the coast. Friends describe him as quiet, steady, and allergic to attention—traits that, in a moment of chaos, became decisive.

Witnesses say Mercer intervened without hesitation, using his body and quick thinking to disarm the attacker and hold him until police arrived. He sustained minor injuries but declined medical treatment until others were seen to. Speaking briefly afterward, Mercer credited “pure instinct” and the help of bystanders, urging the focus remain on those affected. In a city shaken, his actions offered a rare moment of clarity: courage does not announce itself; it simply steps forward when needed."

The S & P is up 14% since Trump was elected.

Yeah but there was a big crash when he first announced the tariffs.
My super lost nearly 20k in less than a month.
It’s just crazy when his decisions can affect an average Joe working in Australia so much.
And you have no real control over it, if your young you can’t just take it out and do something with it your locked into it.
The government has too much control over your money.
This is our money as when pay rise negotiations happen the super is taken into consideration.
Yes you will get something like 8-9% long term but if your like me close to retirement these massive fluctuations can be quite concerning.
 
Sounds like some semi automatic shot guns were involved given the number of shots fired.



Verified video shows the final horrific moments of the Bondi Beach terror attack, with more than 100 shots fired in the area in less than six minutes.
.....

The video, which is too graphic to play in full, was filmed about 50 metres away from the bridge where the alleged gunmen, Naveed and Sajid Akram, were positioned throughout most of the terror attack.

It shows 5 minutes and 52 seconds of the attack before Naveed Akram is critically injured, bringing the firefight to an end.

In that period, 103 gunshots can be heard in the audio: a mix of weapon discharges from both the alleged shooters and police.
.....................

5m 48s​

Naveed Akram drops after appearing to be shot.
He gets up again and appears to take aim, but is again shot and falls to the ground.
He flails around and does not get up again, bringing the attack to an end.

6m 53s​

A bystander begins to investigate if the alleged gunmen are dead or injured, and gestures to police to come over.
A man in shorts and a black shirt, who approached the bridge from behind, enters the crime scene and stands next to the alleged gunmen, putting his hands up as a shot rings out.

7m 8s​

Police are seen approaching the shooting position from multiple directions.
The next few minutes, until the video ends, are chaotic.

A handful of police, who were just involved in the gun fight, desperately try to secure the scene and provide first aid, as bystanders approach from all directions.

At the same time, one man starts to physically assault another bystander.
Another is seen running into the scene multiple times to hit the alleged shooter on the ground.
One of the officers is called over to secure a firearm located nearby.

10m 42s​

The video ends the same way: with police trying to secure a chaotic scene as bystanders continue to walk onto the bridge. [why the **** would you go and walk on the bridge and get in the way]

More police officers can be seen arriving, and the sounds of sirens can be heard.

Lol I remember asking Janus about Silver and he said it would never happen
 
The only good thing about Trump being Trump is he is unfortunately the most likely to do anything about Israel.

He won't, but he's the most likely president to be a loose canon.
Trump took a massive donation, for his latest run for President, from one Miriam Adelson. I cannot see him doing anything about Israel.

Netanyahu even gets his laundry done at the Whitehouse when he visits.
 
The S & P is up 14% since Trump was elected.
Serious question - take out the big 6 or 7, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet/Google, Microsoft, Facebook/Meta, Amazon and Tesla, and has the rest of the S&P moved upwards?

That would include police gunfire and that would include semi and possibly full automatic gunfire.

Invest more conservatively then. You actually do have control. You just don't seem to understand what you are doing. I expect the world (economically) to blow up at some stage, it is inevitable. You'd be an Industry fund kind of guy, lets take Australian Super, their Stable fund, which is only 40% exposed to the market and 60% defensive has earned 7.30% in the last 12 months. Being 60% defensive means that if the share market does blow up, 60% of your money isn't directly effected and you are cushioned from too much damage. In retirement, if you have a half decent super balance (you can still have Half a mill in super as a couple, be a home owner and get nearly $45k in Aged Pension as well), as long as you don't spend like an idiot, its more than enough. Get a steady return of 6% with little risk, theres an extra $30k in investment earnings, without really touching your principal. $75k tax free income. No mortgage. Cheaper utilities, cheaper medicines, free public transport. A worker has to earn $100k to make $75 after tax. Full tote for everything, plus mortgage or rent. Kids too. No wonder everyone hates the boomers.
 
Those 7 are frighteningly big/powerful/dominant.
Top of the AI ponzi pyramid. Tesla doesn’t make any sense at all. I do make money out of them, because it’s how the world works, but Tesla is a ****ing joke.
