Tweeting about a range of stuff - and not following an arbitrary 'party line' on anything - means I end up with followers who might be disappointed that I'm not a cheerleader for 'their team' (regardless of the topic). So, thanks for following, but consider yourselves warned :)

@Valueinvest_ I can never decide if they're trying to play us, or are being played.

So many microcaps grandly announce placings to "strategic" investors. I'm a strategic investor - my strategy is to make money.

Love it! #LifeGoals

🚨Be very careful with this type of analysis. I get why media loves these types of stories, they are compelling. In one month in most suburbs you would have seen very few sales if not zero sales. This analysis relies on a hedonic model which is driven by computer estimates of values. These models are also designed to not be overly volatile they are also revised often. If you came and ran this analysis for the same period in three months time when there is more data available the results would likely be very different. The reality is we don’t really know how much housing values have moved in a month at a suburb level there just isn’t enough evidence. Some markets would be much weaker than what this data shows and some wouldn’t but there is precious little evidence to tell us reliably. The change that would be being felt is the mismatch between previous price expectations of vendors and price expectations of purchasers and that takes many months to show-up in data because the property sales which reflect these changes can take several months to actually sell. afr.com/property/resid…

But other than that... (It's still a bad idea.)

When people ask me why One Nation isn't fit to govern, this will be Exhibit A. Populist nonsense, and they either know and don't care, or don't know any better. Either option is bad.

@rhys_tiivel No hill here. Just a comparison.

@TMFScottP Slippery slide Scott. You’ve picked some strange hills to die on of late, and this seems below your character.

This.

@ixmaninc @OTheChad Because I think he has character flaws.

@TMFScottP @OTheChad There is only one reason you'd drag Elon into this.

@tonyreeswoods That's true, though unless they're lying, we're still seeing the truth, so your second point is even more powerful.

@TMFScottP We only see Trump through the lens of our media, however if what we see is a snippet of the truth then the USA is truely a parody.

You watch the people who defended Trump's original plan now pivot and say it was just a threat. More likely? TACO Trump. There is no serious policy thinking here - just kneekerk reactions.

@ixmaninc @OTheChad Ha, no.

@TMFScottP @OTheChad It is 100% political.

@igotsox @EricIdle It may not be about accomplishments, of course.

@TMFScottP @EricIdle I have nothing against Mr. Neill. He seems like a pretty nice guy. But to compare his accomplishments to Elon Musk’s is absurd.

@JarredDrof Bazinga.

@TMFScottP 😂 because one you can easily do. The other is out of your reach.

@nevillebartos16 Yep.

@TMFScottP Elon reverse park rockets ffs 😂

@RoofingAust @ScottPh77711570 On what basis?

@ScottPh77711570 @TMFScottP You’re right, I shouldn’t reply as geopolitics is not Scott’s strong suit.

They used to call that standover tactics and extortion...

@Drainfish159473 I'd go one further. Be a better version of yourself, and find exemplars to aspire to, if you can.

@TMFScottP Just be yourself. Everyone else is already taken

@RealWorld8422 There's no public evidence that the bombing was necessary. And even if it was, there's no evidence, other than US self-interest, to suggest the strait needs to be tolled.

@TMFScottP That’s not how many see it The world would look very different if more of these muslim extremists are allowed to develop nuclear weapons Thanks Christ for Trump - and combatting extremism will cost us more the longer we allow it to grow

@Blandofbrothers Sure, we can do that. But contrast is a useful tool.

@TMFScottP Just saying that it would be nice not to use Sam Neil's death to "pivot" to targeting someone whom they don't like. Sam sounded like a legend of a guy but it lacks class to say "Be like Sam but don't be like the person I dislike". How about we just stick with how great Sam was.

Tigers building for the future. Eels trying to buy success. No idea how it'll play out, but I'd bet on the former more often than the latter.
