    Or the reality might be a bit different - they have to pay dividends at rate of 9% just to maintain their current share price levels.

    WHS

    The charts shows increase in price equivalent to dividends, after that - big sell off and it goes lower then original catching all the wanna be "investors" who should stick to running tat shops instead.

    I'm very tight indeed and only spend money on the following: house and location (have to be the best, that's an investment and you live there), working clothes (my suits are hand made - sadly in this shallow world appearance counts), holidays (5 star and club class always - probably a legacy of my backpacking horror student days), food and drink (no point taking in crap).

    I can do without casual designer labels, flash cars, jewellery, and all the appertunances of an "aspiring" lifestyle designed to show off to the Jones's.
