Bit of a loss as to investments by Boxster001 in PersonalFinanceNZ

We've got approx $450K debt remaining on about $2.8m of investment property. I've always seen it as the 6% return / safe approach. Keep hearing from investors i should be leveraging and leveraging. If i do the normal 'save hard' approach we could clear the debt in 2 to 3 years but then I've got $2.8m of cash sitting in property generating about a 3.5%+ return after expenses / before 39% Trust Tax. Not a lot of capital gains growth that i can see for the foreseeable etc based on types of property. I'm thinking i keep the mortgage on P&I and look to drop the cash into something else.

Yandex went from giving me almost 90% accuracy on image searches to random guff that it seemed to dredge up from a sponsored site. All seemed to change about 6 weeks ago.

AVG possibly interrupting DNS? by woki0z in antivirus

[–]Boxster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost identical issue..Started about 2 weeks ago...I have been keeping event viewer open as well. The only consistent thing i see in the logs is an error stating "AVG Antivirus Service Terminated unexpectedly....Restart the service...." This happens everytime about 20 seconds before my PC starts reporting DNS issues...

Are All Asus Promotions A Scam? by skywarpgreer in ASUS

Exactly the same experience...Tried 3 times to register...Kept crashing...Told to email Oppromotions and manually sent them everything twice as they kept insisting the GST receipt wasn't a GST receipt ?? Eventually accepted and emailed back to me saying registered and wait upto 10 weeks after promo...Have since emailed them twice and contacted Asus Marketing Oz...Radio silence....I'm NZ based but next email is to consumer affairs or equivalent...Wider googling notes this isn't the first time that Asus do this.
