    Do you trade shares?

    does anyone follow roger montgomery's blog at rogermontgomery.com? if not, you should. i picked up his tips on MCE, FGE and MLD last year and did very well. he follows the buffett approach of buying a slice of a solid company at a discount to its intrinsic value. i also bought $1500 of EXS...

    have you ever done well in a law exam even though you thought you stuffed up badly?

    i'm doing quite poorly at law. at melb uni, 60 in constitutional and 59 in contracts. i don't understand why i am so hopeless. i work quite hard and feel like i understand the law. at the same time i achieved a 90 average in history/politics without bothering to buy the readers and that was...

    What do you train for?

    yeah so i've done my reading. if aiming for muscle gain then it's advised you don't do anything more than jogging or sprinting. 5-10km runs every day will destroy your body's chance to recover on off days and so you'll lose out on a larger physique. also, dieting for weight gain is...

    What do you train for?

    somehow that doesn't sound right. if more weight = slower running, there's no way i would have improved my aths times this season. i've put on 10kgs over the past 10 months yet hardly grown at all. i was running pbs just before i left melbourne in nov w/o doing anywhere near as much training...

    Ten Reasons to Leave Iraq Now

    haha, that's pretty idealistic. the ultimate neo-con triumph with the fall of iran, the happiness of all iraqis secured, and the complete elimination of terrorist groups all over the middle east. does anyone else think that's going to happen anytime soon?

    Ten Reasons to Leave Iraq Now

    i'm supposed to be studying but am too bored so i'm on this site. having read through these posts i've notced there's been some pretty simplistic analyses of the war. eg. the US should leave because war is bad. hopefully it will become more intellectual in later posts. iraq really is a...

    Class composition

    76 H2A. I was happy considering she said those who got the highest marks put the most work in (I did an all-nighter on the Monday). However, 55 people got H1 (13%) and 67 got H2A (16%) meaning that I only placed in the top 29%. I know what you mean about smart people doing poorly. Two...

    Class composition

    it's the uni to blame. not the students who go there. melbourne is willing to take the international money and either fail them early or have them scrap through when they should be failing. it's unfair on some of these students to be allowed in.
