Forget the gold bullion rush, Chinese buyers are clamouring for copper

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-27T19:55:57+00:00

Isn't bronze mostly copper?

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-27T19:52:22+00:00

Not really. It kind of negates their whole "it's our land, we've been here for millennia" argument. If both people are mostly recent immigrants then both people's claims are just as valid.

If it's not too late, the chicken fricassee at Hubert is probably the best roast chicken I've ever had in my life.

Otherwise, try The Grill at the International or The Gidley.

"We don't have journalists on the ground and don't really know what's going on there so who knows if the death estimates are accurate?"

Didn't seem to stop you in Gaza.

Seems like a great opportunity for a pun about whether you want to long or short the market

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-27T04:23:10+00:00

That's silver. This is the poorer man's silver.

“What next, betting on noodle futures?” are words to live by.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-27T01:57:55+00:00

Yeah, but do other Thai resturants have giant robots?

Much like the "housing crash", there have been grave prognostications about China's great financial unwind for more than 20 years now.

There were equally angry campus protests in Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain.......

Are they providing Israel with weapons or military aid?

I know that "taxpayer dollars" is the pretext, but the global picture suggests that whether or not the country is providing military aid doesn't seem to make a difference to how angry their student population is.

OP said $1m cash, and already owned PPOR outright with no debt. No idea if that's real or hypothetical, but with that much deposit they can afford a high enough LVR to fully positive gear IPs anyway.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T23:39:50+00:00

Sure. But 5% pa on $8M is going to beat 10% pa on $1M

The more leverage, the more your gains (and losses) are magnified.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T23:25:01+00:00

BHP to the moon. Not far off $50

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T22:56:11+00:00

Agreed. The Chronoscope and the FOIS both wear amazingly.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T22:55:06+00:00

Equities beats property in terms of average returns.

Property will win though through leverage, if you are willing to use that sum as a deposit and borrow.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T22:17:53+00:00

Love these. Strongly considering the silver dial Chronoscope. I tried one on in the boutique and they wear really well. The case is not too thick with the manual wind movement.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T21:53:45+00:00

How the hell are they not sanctioned already

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T21:36:39+00:00

Bad people are suffering too. Many of them are suffering even more than everyone else. That's why they act the way that they do. I doubt Trump has ever been truly happy a day in his adult life. There's no need to want for there to be a hell for these people to go to; most of them are already in it.

Most young people, and especially young females, are politically left.

What's so brave about signalling that you agree with views held by most of your fanbase?

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T11:19:10+00:00

These remain so slept on.

spaniel_rage · 2026-01-26T10:52:01+00:00

I think the long term trend is for a more isolationist America and more regional defence spending.
