Hi
I'm in Auckland too, in Whangaparaoa
Went on a 500-mile round trip this weekend, to Mt Ruapehu to frollick in the snow. Only to discover it's not cold enough yet and there was no snow on our side! Doh!! Still, I got to see lots of the countryside!
I'm very wary of investing in stocks and shares at the moment. The global credit markets are going to meltdown in Jul-Aug. It will be worse than the sub-prime crisis for many. My best advice is to go to cash, unless you're shorting the FTSE & Dow, which will make you an awful lot of money if you get the timing right.
