    Are self managed retirement funds allowable in USA and can they be structured to hold tangibles (bullion, land, boat, artworks, principal place of residence etc?)... What is the enabling control on precious metals in Australia?

    Bullion no...

    Coins... yes

    ETF's... yes

    Its something like that, I could be corrected... and I don't think its all that simple.

    And he said he'd leave...

    That is why the world is in such a shitty state. usanians, from Mexico, being methodists, claiming to live in Alaska, cannot keep their own word.

    Not familiar with the concept "keeping the word", and "self-respect".

    Just ******** and when that doesn't work, bomb the **** out of them...

    Animals have more ethical life credo.

    mark,
    I have known a few air traffic controllers and most aren't exactly slackers...actually pretty dedicated folks for the most part...air safety was impacted by your hero Reagan's decision...I like Reagan nowadays(didn't like him when I was 15) . Some of us people would like to get pissed off by 8 years of an out-of-touch puppet of the establishment...the intellectual likes of which we have not ever seen in the Whitehouse...not to my reckoning at least...must have been one other..or maybe two complete schmoes who have inhabited it prior to Bush 43...okay...James earl Carter ....smart but a schmoe....Andrew Jackson was a war hero so he's out (also reference:John McCain.). can't name them other than maybe Hoover ....who will always be in the same sentence with Bush 43...and vice versa...Anyways...Presidents come and go....but your kind leave a bad taste in my stomach ...you wanna know why?...because you belive everything you read and hear...thats a problem when the only thing you read is conservative blogs and the only thing you hear is Coulter and Lamebrain...it's downright scary that there are so many of your kind have metastisized in so short of time in the pre-cancerous brain of the world.I think you are a bit out of touch Mark 775...happened to me for a long time....happens to a lot of us...maybe been up in the great white world too long...there really is no escape...especially when you seem keen on dialing in the yachting world at 80,000 kbs/sec just to be a prick...go pick on the eskimos....they HAVE to deal with you....we don't...(unless we get subscribed to stupid idiotic hate-filled threads for a second...hear dipsquats..and have to respond).....hate to break the news...Russia may be in your back yard...but so is the rest of the world...it's all just a kiss away (mick jagger)

    Chile will never be in my backyard. A liberal telling me I'M not in touch? LOL As far as air traffic controllers...Reagan got tough with them partially to demonstrate that his word was cast in stone to the Russians (remember he was but a new guy, an actor, heart in the right place but they didn't know it!). It is a weaker America caused by bad decisions that is causing Putin to gain confidence. He's KGB, remember, and the communists still plan on ruling the world. How will that look in comparison to the America you loath? Better start rooting for the home team! I have little patience for ANY whiny-*** unioners, especially ones that think they have us over a barrel. If a plane didn't fly for a WEEK (while we fully trained new controllers for key positions) after Pres. Reagan kicked their asses, it would have been worth it.
    Another thing - are you happy that the unions are standing next to Obama now? How did you like his smackdown to the Supreme Court last night? You had better start waking up or when you finally do, it'll be in Amerika! (and I don't mean in Saxony). Regardless of my constantly being called a "Republican" on this thread, you might actually think about getting on my team - Think freedom, no wars except in defence, and small government. It's coming to a conservative neighborhood near you, fall 2012. Your choice will be between Hillary Clinton and whoever steps forward and tries to fill George Washington's shoes. Pres. Reagan was almost there.

    Instead you may find you handicapped by a monstrous beam :p Well, you just might fit in here, but not much to go wrong.. Anyway, in a place like this there's nobody collecting harbour fees :D

    ps. As you notice I just started this thread from the beginning;)

    That is OK teddy, you will get more and more disappointed as you read in... May I suggest, just check the links to economic data/essays and ignore the intervening ********, unless you feel the need for some entertainment of a generally degenerate kind - from all, as **** is sort of contagious...

    My boat is about 6.2m beam overall and less that in the water... one inch overall less than 40ft long... You do not say what the measurement of the gap in the reef was? and I would not attempt till the tidal flow had significantly eased... Tide tables are an important book to carry... I would then feel better in a cat than a mono of similar lwl... but that is my personal choice...

    That's about 10m wide and the only one there is.. but of course there's more islands around. Tidal changes might be below 1m.
    Not so interested to participate political/economical debate but I read a lot.. I'm counting to my future scandinavian pension if I'll just be well enough to enjoy cruising..

    LOL, Armadillo -kinda. And they DO taste like chicken (and make good pets when young. There is a superstition that you don't eat the ones with the "forked" tongue (I'm not making this up) for they have bred with the snake (nee, Diablo). When hunting, they take a stick for prying open the mouth, hence hitting them on the noggin when tongue not forked... Take the babes home for pets!
    That's how I started Spanish, as well - "Como se dice, _________?"
