So only $650k of CBA left. WOW!

Sold half my CBA at $162.

I just know that if I sell mine they will be at $170 in a flash.

CBA approaching $162. Perhaps In anticipation of funding part of the Gaza land acquisition and rebuilding deal? :D

@k_sheep I did PM you a few days ago and again yesterday. Can you please respond?

I call them Scamnet

I believe you need a complete year's record for that year to count towards the pension. If DWP offer you 15 weeks of class 3 and 37 weeks of class 2 for a year and you only pay the 37 weeks of class 2 then AFAIK that year will not be counted to your pension. DWP only worries about whole years...

I am unaware if there is a threshold. From my own experience I had to pay class 3 for short periods of unemployment. I have worked a minimum of 7 months of every UK tax year since moving to Australia.

The reason this is required is because they will allow class 2 for the periods that you are employed and class 3 for the periods that you are not employed.

I would be surprised if there is one. I am not even sure if you can change from 3 to 2 unless you qualified for class 2 at the time you moved to Australia. This question is beyond my pay grade.

I spent a month in Spain in November / December last year. DCC was the default on most machines but generally the vendor pressed EUR before passing the machine for my PIN although I was a bit sceptical at first. Some allowed me to select EUR. In over 150 transactions I was not a victim of DCC...

Class 2 should be automatic going forward - you don't have to keep reapplying. Of course if your circumstances change, for example you stop working, then you should notify DWP and they will change you to class 3 going forward.

So US markets flat to small losses after Trump backed down / compromised / got his way (choose your interpretation) and Aussie futures market pointing to a small rise today. I don't know which way markets are heading during Trump 2.0 but if he continues to rule by executive order then I...

So the ASX finished 1.80% down. Is that the worst of it or only the beginning? Who knows? I don't.

Are Apple in trouble? This offer seems to be on every other week.

Market racing downwards today - a solid 2% decline so far.

I am expecting a fall tomorrow and probably by a lot. Mrs SS today cancelled a short business trip to the US and Canada for April due to the uncertainty.

In my experience they don't but they do at Coles :)

ASX flat or slightly positive now. Australia's economy is built on real intelligence rather than the 'artificial' stuff.
