Hi all, Greenspan in the US stated today that the economy was in an expansionary phase and that the fed could accomodate it without raising rates. This sounds inflationary to me. The $US tanked($A at new highs), rates here probably on hold for a few more months, is this a green light...

Hi Thommo, Of course "The US Fed is truly between a rock and a hard place. ATM they are keeping all the balls in the air but should they drop them ANYTHING is possible." But what are the likely scenarios?? To my way of thinking there are 2...

Hi Jim, If the slowdown that appears to have started continues, it will lead to less development(because the developers run out of buyers). This leads to a slowdown in the building and trades sector, one of the biggest parts of the economy. This will lead to slower growth(and usually...

Hi Thommo, Actually I'm 46(but will be 47 in 43 minutes:D). I have wife and 3 children, live in house I built myself. Is the messenger more important than the message?? Question about blowing up and harming other peoples plans; I'm not sure that I understand the question, but if you mean...

Hi Thommo, Sorry about the sounding like I was preaching bit.It's just that I have known many people who have all sorts of doom and gloom scenarios. Some find religion, others have their doom and gloom stories created by religion. Some look at the environmental side of things. The one thing...

Hi all, LB, your kidding right?? When shown evidence contrary to your opinion, you just dismiss it, not consider it. When challenged about misleading statements YOU made, you attack the messenger, not redress the fallacies you produce. You stated a few posts back that people were...

Hi all, LB, your at it again, but let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story. LB's statement; "I'm now talking to people who are saying that they are happy to wait for a while before buying or live with mom and dad a little longer as...

Hi all, Lilith, I think you have missed Acey's point entirely. The 110,000 immigrants each year HAVE to live somewhere. Do you agree??? Their very presence means that SOME type of accommodation will be needed. They will not be living with family indefinately(I know this from experience)...

Hi all, In the regional town that I keep an eye on(Colac, and have IP there), the frenetic buying of last year is no longer with us. Houses are staying on the market much longer, but there is NO evidence of any panic selling. Prices in the REA windows are not being dropped. Houses in the...
