Each to their own. I think there’s no harm in having a little bit to put into hunches like ‘lithium’ or that stock your wife’s friend talked about

It’s not really investing, more punting. But it stops you feeling tempted to exit investments to chase things and scratches an itch

All IMO

Thing is unless you buy individual. US shares, you are almost always buying FANGS or whatever you want to call them when you buy US ETFs or mutual funds. I think majority of money in the last couple of weeks went in to US funds. Nothing wrong with ETF’s or their composition Was talking more about o...

There’s been an article or two about Wright

The jungle drums are sounding

They’re saying “the new Jon Eels - he’s coming”

Sure. It has, but I’m not a fashionista so I deliberately get these things wrong - in order to show I’m based

Glad you had a good time. That’s what rugger (and a welcome win) can give you.

Without wanting to wade into the debate, my opinion is that equities are at (or near) the bottom.
I specifically exclude FANGS from this sentiment, as they remain toppy.
I’m referring to sensible growth stocks.

Liam Wright is Australia’s natural captain

The man is the smartest footballer in Australia

I’d be building a team around him.

You went tonight?

Haven’t been to an actual Tahs game since before Covid.

Switched to loving ‘grassroots’ rugby because it’s more authentic, and stuff

Fvck I hate being a Tahs fan

Go manly!

And did Marky Mark do so well it was worth dropping Pietsch?

Meanwhile that fckwit replacement nothingburger winger who played the ball on the ground gets a game.

As a QLDer I hate the Tahs, but Jesus I’m feeling sorry for them tonight. First 20 mins was amazing and then they just shit the bed Piss poor defence. Weird selections . Overly complex lineout calls Poor coaching basically. Perese on the pine, for a start Yes. That’s one of about 10 head scratchers

Have you noticed how the chiefs players run into the line, causing obstruction? The last try was directly affected by this.

Nope? Guess not. Better to whine than either be objective or simply shut up

ZuLurk wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:31 am Easier for me to rate the boks than players that one don't see playing regularly.

Perhaps you could explain your scoring system?

Smith (a forward) scores more for #14 than does DuPont (a back)

And Kolbe, a specialist winger, scores more at #15, than Barrett (a specialist fullback)

shanky

From the totals Willemse is first and DuPont is…last

I think that’s a valid question. As it turns out, Vietnam went over to the other side and we all survived. It seems like it’s about how high the stakes are. Do we really care if China invades Taiwan? The only material issue would be semi-conductors, probably. Oh, and the south China sea thereafter.

That should do it.
