"When there is greed, be fearful. When there is fear, be greedy." One of Warren Buffet's investment philosophies. You should have been greedy 8 months ago, our markets up 30% this year, so already missed the best days. Still, if you have spare cash lying around, buy equities, equities and equities - NOW!!

Dankie John. It really has been tough going moving here. Nothing planned for has worked out, but still battling on. Question for the Forum!!! Shall I start Uncle Spuds African Diary?? (**) (**) Cannot guarantee that everything I say would find agreement with everyone and the more I get into the flow ## ## ## but that's the way I am - Jammer :wink:

Anyone know how the aircraft manufacturers are doing in SA. Heard that Manfred has closed down. How are solo wings, Savannah Africa and all the other okes doing? Must be tough for them - the toys always first to suffer.

Hallo Uncle Spud, long time no chat.

Hell why not ? Start a thread and tell us why you have changed from the over-zealous immigrant to a cropped up angry frustrated racist (**) want to kill (**) loving person.

I wake up every morning refreshed and ready with the sun in my face and ready for the world. And when I get home tonight I am prepared to become a "cropped up angry frustrated racist (**) want to kill (**) loving person."

Only to spend the night at home to re-cuperate so that I can "wake up every morning refreshed and ready with the sun in my face and ready for the world".

The monotony does get broken sometimes at night when they break into my factory, offices or home. But I have to wake up to face my employees "every morning refreshed and ready with the sun in my face and ready for the world".

One crazy circle. Almost feels square by now.

But what else ??? Where you came from was an osciloscope flat wave. Small ups and small downs.

In Efrika you have tidal Tsunami like osciloscopic waves. When you are low, you are VERY low. But when it picks up (and it WILL), Efrika delivers highs that you would never have experienced in your life.

MOTTO: Byt vas !! Your up will come !

Well said Kloot my boy, well said. No doubt about it. Whatever I may think now, the fates were always going to put me here. Yeah, I may just start a thread about our life in SA, but will more than likely get ## ## ## unless I can input aviation. No flying for me now :(> :(> :(> no money to do it (K@K happens).

Tomorrow is another day
