Nice. I've been looking into buying gold, since my parents also do it, and seems like a safe investment. Do you buy ABC?
gold is one of the worst performing investments on a long term basis and you get no yield! don't do it!

JB HiFi is an awful investment at this time. I would punt on something like Lynas (which just got a temporary operating license for processing in Malaysia).
what do you think about lynas? they're matching 1.37 atm which is down from their high of 1.60 last week. i haven't really given it much of a look but i do have a friend who's keen on it.

It's really a tough one - astute investors have been holding onto it for years, waiting for a gem like last week. Given that the TOL can be scrapped at any moment, I'd say it's more of a punt than I'd normally be comfortable with. Having said that, fortune favours the brave?

Actually your house is even worse and costs money to hold. Sell it!
lol, stop talking shit when you know nothing. Only reseaon to invest in gold is to hedge risks and even then i doubt your portfoilo is that large to warrant investment in gold not to mention storage costs would eat you up, you idiot.

My recommendation is to buy lots of Greek Bonds

been issuing a bit of capital in recent years, not getting the best return on equity at this point. the yield is also pretty average. in 2009 they retained 6.6b in profits and have only been generating an average return of about 6-7% for the 3 years to 2012(not much better than a savings account). wouldn't recommend it as a long term investment. unless you're planning to buy on the result for a trade, then i have no idea.

an interesting thing i read about energy prices recently was that they are by law linked to cost/value of the electricity generating assets. therefore, if origin/any other supplier unneccesarily incurs capital expenses on their stations, they can bump up their power prices.
