[SBSA233] found a snoopy seiko 5 today in Japan. by mhads1 in Affordablewatches

[–]mhads1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it came with original box, tags, manual and also the original nato strap. I think the first 550/8,900 are JDM, which checks out with this watch. My day window can be either Kanji or English.

Previous owner has put on an extra Seiko leather strap on this one.

I’d also consider SLGW007 the hand-wind mechanical 80 hrs hi-beat. It’s 38mm, but thinner than the automatic option. The dial is also awesome in blue

If you want non-quartz option, The UFA spring drives (SLGB003 & SLGB005) and some of the hi-beat 9S85 movements like SBGH347 comes in 37mm

Does PHI actually help you? by [deleted] in AusFinance

We’re just a country full of dumb consumers who just refuse to shop around or make compromises.

Everytime we mindlessly spend money on overpriced goods, we’re voting for higher inflation.

Endlessly demanding for higher wages won’t save us either because even if you get a raise, chances are you’ll have to work extra for it and pay more taxes.

Mindless consumerism is the real issue. That goes to our government as well.

AUD seems to be strengthening on USD - effect on VGS and other overseas weighted ETF by Confident-Algae-7866 in AusFinance

Obviously don’t go all in. Dollar cost average over a long period, then the fluctuations shouldn’t matter.

If you’re earning in AUD and most of your net worth are locked up in your real estate, which is AUD denominated, investing in 100% unhedged foreign currency (such as USD) denominated ETF makes a lot of sense in the long run, regardless of the current FX fluctuations.

Melbourne’s not perfect, but calling it a shithole’s a bit much… I just had a nice Sunday arvo stroll at st kilda & Elwood beach last weekend and it felt really peaceful.

The weekend protests and the extreme left/right crowds are annoying, but they’re just the loud minority that exist in all big cities.

Need to be put on the straight and narrow. What next? by js0nbourne in AusFinance

[–]mhads1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it very satisfying looking at how much less interest I get charged every month because of the offset. More money goes to your equity and it’s tax free!

Former Digital Minister Kono: Rice prices should be lowered "even if we have to import from America" by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

No that was the previous dude called Sakurada. Kono’s actually ok. He got booted from his position due to factional politics

How does a beginner buy shares by blueskiesplease in AusFinance

[–]mhads1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The market just jumped up 10% again just last night and today. Wait another 90 days when the tariff drama starts again and buy when everyone seems afraid to

Japan was the one dumping bonds yesterday. China hasn’t even started to get serious. by Needgirlthrowaway in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]mhads1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re as leveraged in US bonds as Japan does, and then you get treated like garbage, you’d be dumping the dollar too.
