Hi,
Just confirming I was referring to
deleting mail with attachments. I read most others (depending on time
limitations).

Cris

Yes I read it, I generally read everything, however rarely
contribute, as I
feel Im learning.
I also read the first post re Mr
Bush, and comon decency dictates that
haveing listened to one side of an
argument, especially if a reputation is
at stake, you will listen to the
other side.
I do feel re American presidents [or any other world leaders]
that you
cannot get there and be a boy scout, or have the past of
one.
Mr Ross Periot [I hope I have that that right] who ran some years
ago
against Mr Bush Snr, I felt " had the makeings" but was to thin
skinned.
I dont think he had a chance however, but people like him can
change things
just buy being there.
We have it in New Zealand where a
major party, will steal a minior parties
policy once it has been sold and
has legs.
I digress however, we do appreciate the effort that goes into
your [and all]
posts and research.
Many thanks
Allan.

Sorry Allan.
I have developed a very quick delete
manoeuvre.

Dear Mr. Thomas,
I'll be happy to put in my two
cents worth. Prior to that, I should
probably give you some
background on my real property experience, so you can
gage the validity of
the two cents worth.
I started to invest in real property in my early
20s, as a complete novice,
in order to supplement my working income.
Much later on in life, after I
had made some very good money in these real
property investments, I obtained
a real estate salesman's license, later on
a real estate brokers license and
after not doing so well at that took up
real estate appraisal.
I eventually was awarded the MAI designation in
real property appraisal
where I was deemed qualified to appraise just about
any property from real
property easements to skyscrapers.
I did both and many in between and
retired at the age of 55. The MAI
designation is considered to be the
highest real estate appraisal
designation in the U.S. Equivalent to the CPA
in accounting
and perhaps similar to your Royal Chartered Valuers (as
I
understand it)
OK, having said that, my experience has been that
you can make the most
money by buying and managing the real property
yourself, providing you have
a flair for it and are willing to work hard at
it as almost a second job. I
did very well at it and count my
real property investments as the best
investments I've ever
made.
Now however, since I'm retired and we do much traveling and I've
limited
myself to real property shares. Nowhere near as much money,
however,
freedom to travel, less headaches, aggravation, government
interference and
day to day bother.
Another option, which frankly
I've never pursued, is to find a very
competent and honest broker to manage
your properties I'm thinking of
commercial/industrial here)
Since I've also spent a lifetime in the share
markets and all during that
time found only one share broker who know what
he was doing, I don't know
how successful this option might be. No opinion
one way or
another on this, but certainly an option to be considered.
Good
luck to you in you real property investments, no matter which way
you
choose to go.
As an aside, did anyone read my "Misleading hit
piece on George W" post or
did the supposed attachment, which really
wasn't an attachment scare you off
from opening it? It actually was
not an attachment took me 3 hours to
produce and was indeed
safe.
Allan
