| 583067 | 2007-08-20 07:14:00 | A poll relevant to all the recent finance companies collapsing. I am sure that there will be more to in the future, as many of these finance companies rely on a constant inflow of new investors, and people will now be apprehensive in investing in all of these companies, even the good ones. | robbyp (2751) | ||
| 583068 | 2007-08-20 07:16:00 | I didn't get the poll option, will have to try again. | robbyp (2751) | ||

| 583070 | 2007-08-20 07:16:00 | NO but then I didn't borrow to invest either and the only local money I have is in the bank. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 583071 | 2007-08-20 07:21:00 | My money is in the bank, and my retirement fund is still looking pretty good. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 583072 | 2007-08-20 07:28:00 | My money is in the bank, and my retirement fund is still looking pretty good. The bank is a good safe option. However banks too can go bankrupt. eg. the BNZ and the PSIS (although it isn't really a bank) The thing is to choose a big high quality bank, such as some of the main Australian ones. |

The ASB is looking pretty good and I am pretty happy with where I have our savings and retirement/kids future uni fund.(savings and retirement funds are in 2 different places to spread the risk.) |

| 583075 | 2007-08-20 08:43:00 | No, it was started after the news tonight. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 583076 | 2007-08-20 09:58:00 | I'm just curious to know why anyone who had lost money that way would be likely to say so here? No bonus in it that I can see - just a bunch of people either (a) making sympathetic noises that won't bring the cash back or (b) dealing out too-late "advice" about what they should have done with their money. Possibly rather smugly... Who'd need that? |
