Mentioned on here a few days ago that Mansour should be done by next week, but things have changed... Mansour has told a mate of mine 'Not happening news to me', unless he's lying but he seems like a good guy. Guess we have to wait and see what happens ?‍♂️

Gebbie/kei Mansour

Geo/happy Mansour

Do we need to report to Concord next week .....

Yeah
One to clean the jock straps and one to peel the oranges
Take your pick

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to eels. Guess we will have to wait and see

Sivo plays his wing

Its like employing a financial planner
They are there to help you get the best return on your money

Financial planners being there to get you the best return is actually the complete opposite way to the way the industry works. Financial planners are there to take money out of your hand and offer nothing at all in return.

Warren Buffet agrees with me.

Just for the record, that is not my quote, I was responding to that quote.

My quote was,

"As long as we don’t employ Elijah’s financial planner.
Some of them don’t want to return your money."

So I guess, along with Warren Buffet we both agree on the usefulness of financial planners.

As a financial planner, thats a little offensive. There are plenty of good ones out there that you don't hear about. Its only the rogues that get the attention - all industries have them.

Sorry if I offended you, and I would agree that there are good and and bad operators in every industry, and I take it that you are one of the good ones in your industry.

I understand that there has been a bit of a shake up in the industry in recent times relating to disclosure of commissions and requirements to put clients' interests first and for financial advisors to disclose any conflicts of interest.

However, various inquires and Banking Royal Commissions haven't done a lot to enhance the reputation of financial advisors.

My own personal experience with 2 or 3 financial advisors that I have had initial meetings with haven't really given me the confidence to part with the 2 or 3 thousand dollars that they wanted to come up with a plan for my particular situation.

Thats fair enough Hank. The Royal Commission has started raising the bar ie. degree required etc which can only be good for the industry.

Many people are skeptical about advisers for good reason but hopefully that changes once the riff raff has exited.

Financial Planner (and my naivety) cost me $250K after investing in Great Southern and Timbercorp investments. I was lucky - some others committed suicide. Good and bad in every industry- I found the worst grub on the planet

Wow .. that’s a pretty horrific ordeal to go through mate ..
You must have a well paid job in order to recover ..

Went overseas and earned good money. Got me out of trouble. But cost me my marriage and a lot of mental stress I can tell you. Remarried and building a new house now - means a lot in so many ways mate. It’s been a journey

Can Gebbie tackle?

Probably

He’s fast and that’s all that matters apparently.

Catching, tackling doesn’t appear to matter.

Mate know what you went through....My wife has just got breast cancer for the second time after a ten year break. The treatment is long and hard. We have just started chemo, looking at 15 months of Chemo followed by surgery followed by chemo. The crappy cancer dominates your life. Said to a mate it’s like defending your line one man down for over a year.
Anyway beat it once and going to beat it again. .Let’s get back to signings and some juicy rumours

Hi TT, although not in an exact position as yourself, I’ve been walking your path with the same thoughts and feelings after the breakdown of my marriage.
However I buried an old mate a week ago because of the same issues and have sworn to not let my kids down and to push forward.
I don’t post on here much but this place for me too, is a little escape from a somewhat tortured life.
I would just like to give thanks to you all and the mods for making this forum what it is.
Keep your head up TT, and all others experiencing some pretty tough things out there.
It will get better.
