Good work Parra Steve.

Nick Kyrgios tweeted

after he beat Nadal.

He seems a nice kid. Hopefully has less dickhead in him that Philipousis & Tomic, so he can maintain a steady trajectory towards a long and competitive career.

Agreed. Tomic is a major f**kstick. Hopefully Krygios can kick on and we can consign Bernie to the dustbin of history.

 

[Suitman]

Good work Parra Steve.

They know what causes it now.

Buyer beware. If greedy merkins expect to make easy money with minimal risk they should get informed.

Over regulation of the financial planning industry just prices it out of the reach of most punters.

You need to read up on it more merkin.

Commonwealth Bank customers lost hundreds of millions of dollars after financial planners put their clients' money into high-risk investments without their permission.

That's not caveat emptor. It's fraud, gross negligence & breach of duty of care.

What kind of idiot invests through a bank? They're only good for loans and shares.

Out of your depth again merkin.

Plenty invest via Banks. 75% of old people are with CBA cos they trust them.

CBA own Commsec, Colonial First State, Sovereign Ltd, & Financial Wisdom . They're more than just loans etc.

Here's a tip - don't invest in anything popular with the elderly. I understand their decision making process is hampered by a variety of factors but they shouldn't complain when things go wrong. They're old enough to know better.

I think it was Warren Buffett who said to be wary where everyone else is keen, and be brave where others are scared.

Are you f**king right in the head ?

Without their permission. Yet you say they shouldn't complain ? ](*,):crazy:

Actually I think it might've been Warren G who said this.

 

[Gronk]

Or maybe Ali G.

That's right. Those financial muthaf**as need to regulate shit dawg!!!

Speaking of abuse, I was watching Play School recently and who other than Brooke Satchwell was frontman. How the mighty have fallen. Her mouth was smiling but the whole time she had the cold, dead eyes of a stripper.

Ramsay Street must be full right now.

So I'm watching Play School again and was stunned to find Alf Stewart's old punching bag Alex Papps presenting. Unlike Brooke he seems to have accepted his career trajectory. He's quite convincing.

Bet365 still by far the best for betting
