This was the part I liked in that add!
legendary ???? as in bofh legendary????
Generally I'm dubious about trading $ in hand for illusionary future
benefits (IPO?). It is probably okay for someone just starting their
career who could afford to gamble and loose 5-10 years super without
too much affect on their retirement.
When you are longer in the tooth, it is not a gamble you can afford to
take, particularly with the growing "stuff you, I'm alright approach
of government". It has been a sad thing to see that metal recycling is
something that most old-age pensioners resort to to make ends meet.
Keep in mind the IPO bubble has to burst sometime. It all seems to be
fuelled by worship of amazon.com, but everyone seems to be blithelty
ignoring the fact that amazon.com has acculmulated losses of $US800
million, with 7,500 employees and we keep hearing how "it is the new
way of doing business and you have to look at it differently from
traditional bricks and mortar businesses". Seems 7,500
butts^h^h^h^h^h^hbottoms require a lot of bricks and mortar to me.
I've come to the conclusion that there is a growing group of people,
called entrepreneurs, who really are about selling wild schemes to the
people with money (investors) and who then ride the wave (collect
their exhorbitant directors/managers fees) while it last, then they
move onto the next wave.
If this is the case, the best rule is maximise the $ in hand.
