There was an article in the Auckland herald recently about a young couple who had developed an algorithm, were demonstrating its use, and offering the public in NZ free use. In the demonstration, it identified eight stocks that were rising, and suggested that four were invested in for a given perio...

In my experience you go to financial planner to put a plan in place...i.e. how to save, mortgages, debt, etc...good idea if you get a windfall of money. I wouldn't go to a financial planner for stock picks. Either learn to do it yourself...or subscribe to a securities analyst firm or letter...or tru...

Its a crappy profession. Financial advisers are like opinions. If you find a good financial adviser they are like gold. My advice....be wary of any financial adviser under the age of about 50...otherwise they are likely just talking from theory and a script. Experience and track record are vital. I ...

It was you that implied that the extra sickies were about being chilled, rather than ill. Why don't you tell us about these South Americans? Chilled in the way , that when I'm sick I now stay home, as most Kiwis are brought up that only slackers take sick days. Now I'm older and more chilled , I re...

Australia does have a culture of Monday-itis...it is a real concern among employers.

All for tightening gun ownership laws and what type of guns people can own. But not banning guns altogether.

You can break the law if it is deemed to be for the greater good. She must prove that by her exposing this loophole she has prevented a person unlawfully purchasing a firearm with the intent of using it for illegal intentions. Police break the law all the time, speeding to a ongoing crime scene etc....

Why rely on random genetics when having a child?? Let it happen. Psychologists have long learnt that having an IQ over130 does not financially benefit the person any further than having an IQ of 130. There is a difference incrementally between 100 and 130 though. But the benefit stops after 130...ho...

One of the best biographies I've read (sporting or otherwise) is 'The Legend of Dan Gable: "The" Wrestler' by Russ L. Smith. Probably near impossible to get a copy now. Came out in 1974.

I guess if you don't actually win the title you've got to move on eventually. He's had 7 full seasons? 2009 - 2015.

Be even more interesting to see who takes the reins from 2017.

The All Blacks went up a gear in 1987 through to 1990 in no small part by Jim Blair,s fitness regime that revolutionised All Blacks rugby and rugby itself. In terms of fitness the 1987 team was light years ahead of the 1986 sides. One other point though...the 87' All Blacks also introduced (as such)...

1998 keeps springing to mind. It's not the playing talent we've lost its the experience that counts.

Just so long as we don't lose to Wales in one of the 3 tests in June.
