There's an element of DYKWIA to it and an element of usefulness. The degree of each varies between posters and posts. The OP's question assumes 100% in the DYKWIA category, which triggered some of the critical responses. My take is averaged out the option to include it and verify some of it in...

PLANT picked it too! Good thing I'm not a day trader - I was expecting the same result in reverse.

FWIW I reckon the asx will be routed today just like yesterday's biggest fall since recession and last week, although thats probably not a contrarian prediction. The combination with commodities/currency rout means it can only really go one way. Creates incredible opportunities for anyone not...

You'd think the same logic would apply to the asx... Stocks do this periodically. The extreme nature of some of the currency drops concurrent with it is more concerning.

Dropped 7% against the Yen overnight. Almost 20% against the Euro last couple of months including last nights hammering. Dropping further and further vs USD all the time too but not quite as drastic as others recently. Has an eerily similar look to 2008.

We've already had a crash of sorts. Not quite GFC crash but enough to wipe out a sizeable chunk of my life savings. The fact whatever dollars are left got devalued by currency depreciation at the same time hasn't helped. Just gotta ride it out now I think. I'd bank in a year or 2 from now we'll...

Re: Emirates sues Australians after flying them to wrong destination - OUCH, it is tr Hefty bill compared with the expected flight costs of maybe $200. Not that I'm on Emirates side but I think both parties are doing plenty of bird flippin.

Re: Emirates sues Australians after flying them to wrong destination - OUCH, it is tr I don't know the story but I'd guess Emirates were pretty full up on the next NYC flight and comparatively empty on the flights they offered. So putting them on the sooner emptier flights would save them...

Ha! I was about to mention Rex - I've been the only one on part of a flight with them - they dropped the rest off at Merimbula and took me alone to Moruya.

Just generally on travel insurance - does anyone offer medical only for a decent discount? I can't see any reason at all to pay for anything else. I imagine the insurance companies are enormous net winners out of the remainder over any decent sample. Admittedly I don't usually take it out and...

The best thing I did was buy a 38L backpack. Everything had to fit into it, without exception, and I've gotta be comfortable walking for hours and travelling on crammed public transport with it, so it definitely needs to be less than 15kgs, preferably 10. There are just so many things I wouldn't...

A lot of bets against a US September rate rise triggered that I think.

I used it to match Alitalia also until March 2017. Might get a chance to match somewhere else to 2018 later.

My summary of that article is: "Half my Facebook friends post all these awesome looking pictures when travelling. And the ads in magazines look amazing. It can't be that great. Actually, it's probably killing them!" There's pros and cons to it. IME the former outweighs the latter most of the time.

Extras top scored with 14.

Got our best 2 batsmen out there now. Still hope.

Pitch is a road. England get to choose which records they want to break. Declare for 100 and win by an innings or bat until Sunday and win by 1000.

England could declare for 90 and win by an innings.

This could easily be all over on day 1.

Mine says: "Don't forget to include your Frequent Flyer membership number in your booking to receive 50% more Status Credits for every eligible Qantas flight^ booked and travelled during the promotional period." So yes I'd say its for all QF flights booked by the 11th for travel by 3/12.
