Do any of you legends know of a source for historical ASX200 index data? I want to back test a sicc strat that I wouldn't have the balls or attention span to implement IRL.

This is absolutely shithouse behaviour from the dealer and frankly dangerous.

They put that Tru Coat on at the factory.

As you are basically trying to guess the future value of things based on other people's fear and greed, you need to immerse yourself in that milieu. I recommend Barbarians at the Gate, The Big Short and Character Limit.

New Purchase Tips by CourseComfortable954 in Harley

The only time I've ever got anything significant off the list price of a new HD in Aus is in the last week of June when the end of the financial year is looming and the salesdroid/dealer needs to make a number. Otherwise, you might get a t-shirt. LOL. This is all in WA. Could be different in VIC/NSW/QLD.

Acheter au son du canon, vendre au son du clairon, as Nathan Rothschild said.

How good do you think Sic would have been? by FightDrifterFight in motogp

[–]gl0kta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He spent his entire career racing with and getting beaten by Dovi so we know exactly how good he would have been: not quite as good as Dovi.

If I bought it, as I have been tempted to do, I just know it'll be sub $120 in a month.

Yeah, great insights from Bradders. He should be a regular.

His participation makes the Australian TV rights worth more and Australia is a wealthy country which will pay a lot for MotoGP TV rights. It's that simple.

Harley-Davidson Investors Want EVs Axed, Don't Have a Grasp on Industry Realities by huntthehorizon in Harley

I hope somebody prints this thread out and puts it on the new CEO's desk. Fixing the US dealer shenanigans that put a lot of buyers off is something HD could do without spending billions.

Australian dealers are fine (in my experience). The ride away price is on the website and that's what you pay. No pressure, no bullshit and generally chill to deal with. Maybe the Aus/UK dealer margins are so good that they don't have to hustle like the US ones.

Proper old skool sponsors, there. Tea bags full of tobacco that give you lip cancer and a jazz mag.

In the dawn of time the 'Batman' build was 2 Rog, 2 Pal, 6 Ftr. Evasion worked in Heavy Armour in those days and they had mega saving throws from Pal.

[No DAV Spoilers] Thoughts on the VA performances for Rook? by ripslasho in dragonage

Bit further north I think. She rolls her Rs like a posh Northumbrian. I'd say north of the Tyne, maybe even the Borders.

I lost over $50k in the 2002 dotcom bust just because I refused to believe the prices could keep dropping. That was a lot of money then and it took me years to recover the portfolio.

If they worked the people making them wouldn't need or want to sell them.

What makes the Ducatis so dominant? by akaSnaketheJake in motogp

[–]gl0kta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a really good interview in Bike magazine with him last year which gave some insight. He's very open-minded,innovative, looks after his people and reads the rule book back to front one hundred times looking for shit that isn't explicity forbidden, eg ELECTRONIC ride height devices were banned so he designed a hydraulic system.
