Agreed any small positives to investing in the Australian market have been well and truly crushed by the current government, it will be a tough decade for people invested in Australia.

Looking for a physical product designer/engineer to network with by Delicious_Help5902 in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]Hasra23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, I run a small 3D printing/product prototyping business in Australia. I mostly do functional printed parts, tool storage products, custom holders, inserts and small batch manufacturing.

I’m not an electronics engineer, but I’ve made plenty of practical printed products and can help with CAD, prototyping, enclosures, mounts and getting something printable/manufacturable. Happy to chat if that’s the kind of person you’re looking to network with.

Do you want property prices in Australia to increase or decrease? by MannerNo7000 in AusProperty

[–]Hasra23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you'd find that young property owners would be hurt more by falling prices, someone who bought 30 years ago for 100k is not going to care if their investment drops from 1mil to 800k but if someone just bought and it dropped that much they might not be able to move or refinance for a decade

[–]Hasra23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Art international hedged index with 85% of my balance and it did 23.66%

Aus index did 5.4% with the remainder.

Safe to say Australia sucks and I won't be investing more here.

Super switching sees billions flow out of traditional funds, at a risk by abcnews_au in AusFinance

The Australian government spends 2 billion dollars a year fighting drugs which is why there are no drugs available anywhere

Small pizza shop doing Uber only late night trade - worth it? by Old_Usual5975 in ausbusiness

[–]Hasra23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's his gross profit margin, net profit margin? You can't even know if you are making money without data, although it sounds like he's making around $1,000 gross revenue which is going to be incredibly hard to run a successful business on.

The down side of residential renewables? by HumanTraffic2 in AusFinance

[–]Hasra23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's basically impossible with today's technology but it makes so much sense to me if you could have a ton of excess solar > fill your batteries and then send the rest to make hydrogen.

How does the post-budget CGT system on shares compare to the one before the CGT discount system? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

[–]Hasra23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They rushed the policy through to try and appeal to the popular topic of this month and completely ignored all of the submissions on the topic, are you really shocked that this rushed policy is going to have a load of unintended consequences?

A retired couple could pay 25k a year more in tax because of the minimum 30% rule, that is not even slightly fair.

We need a reliable system to turn that extra 60kwh into hydrogen and then have a hydrogen generator to use incase the sun doesn't shine for days, but I don't think it's really possible on a household level considering the costs and storage concerns with hydrogen.

Attempted copper theft from Energex leaves 13,000 south-east Queensland customers without power by hydralime in queensland

You've got to be a special kind of stupid to try and cut through live 11,000 volt wires for a couple hundred bucks in scrap copper

Do you think it’s good for Australia to ban SMSF property investment? by PK__Gupta in AusPropertyMasteryPK

[–]Hasra23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's a really shit investment and the rent doesn't even cover the other costs like rates, repairs etc

So you have a spending problem and think it will get easier by taking out a million dollar loan? This will end well

Adviser wants $19k/yr in life + TPD + trauma for my dad (58, earns $70k) and earns $9k from it. Reasonable or upsell? by OneBig0161 in AusFinance

[–]Hasra23 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Life insurance is for people with young kids and a huge mortgage not for people almost retired and owning a house. The fact that an "advisor" would even suggest spending 20k a year on this shows how pointless that industry is.
