WA is ok, S/Aust. is *going* backwards, population is leaving: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22243386-5013404,00.html Serves them right for having c/rap water Ciao M
Some more opinions on the current climate (not weather) in Australia would be cool. They (again) always compare us to say...New york or Japan etc, the thing is I reckon may as well compare us to Mars as its as relevant IMHO. As to property over time we know it goes up but what about right nowish??? Tone
Good article but I feel many forget that we all do not work for mining companies or flow on industries etc. In fact in WA history we keep making the same mistakes. Selling off our raw resorces in the boom times to now China for example and buying back value added product that is cheap to us. Who are the foolish? What of when it slows/ends and people go back east etc What happens to there vacant houses???? food for thought? What about the 90% of the population that dont work in resorces???
About 50% of my biz is sub-prime and all transactions have to be valued. In the last week I've had seven reports from all over NZ, not one was downed and two were at least 15% over. Interest rates according to todays paper may be on the way down. Can't see too many problems here but as I said before, sub-prime mortgages are sold 'timeshare' style here!
banks and there lies! fact under 80% lend value ratio the CBA don't do credit checks.Fact why does it take the NAB one month to be paid out?
lol ,good for blokes like us whom are buying or building up our super ect.Having said that I'm glad i'm not about to retire.Share market I reckon another 5% drop and then later in year as Interest rates are cut the market will climb,total drop IMO 15%. buy buy hold hold young Bull.
i'm amazed at maq bank at $66 . that is ridiculous . really feel like going in hard on a lot of different stock , way too cheap . wait till they report , these companies are making heaps , a quick 10 to 15 $ gain in a few short days to be had. the question is when .
True, but not interested in $5mil [or whatever] at 65, rather it now when i can enjoy it. Who wants and cares about being the richest man at the cemetery? CIAO M
agree to a point,ya a long time dead,for me I'm single no kids,I'm gunna spend it all and go out with huge debt,my legacy to the lenders.
you been monitoring for long rog? im thinking i wanna get on board if theres some solid growth to be had over the next 18mnth or so
got in big time oct 05 , stock went nuts till a correction in may 06 , then went hard again until last month . bought maq bank in oct 05 for $53 i think , haven't got the file on me at home , they hit $103 i think 2 months ago , way underpriced at the current $66 . they were $70 a week ago and put on $10 in 3 days , now back again . i was looking at getting in in oct 04 when maq bank was $30 !!!!! . oh well can't win them all . ring a stockbroker tomorrow , great time to get in IMHO , but we don't know where the bottom is
if they drop more who cares long term they will climb.Good result for JB hifi whom Macq are involved with
