It's balance that I respect. Permanent D&G (a la some GHPCers) is a waste of bandwidth. Buffet & Bill Gross are balanced IMO. All the Maudlin & Puplava I ever heard/read was D&G (& I did persist with them) - if that's changed then I'll add them back to my reading list. In the same way I...

My feeling is that loans won't be rationed (except by higher IRs & lower LVRs & better risk management). I'd expect Oz banks will source more capital locally (though higher deposit rates & bond issues). My question still is - there's lots of $$$ out there looking for a (low risk ?) return -...

GR touched on a point - the funders will want (or even must) to continue to lend (albeit at a higher IR and or lower LVR). Would they prefer to lend to US or Eurozone or Oz ? Would they prefer to lend against res IP or business or commercial IP ?

Sorry to go on YM.... but every generation of prospective OOs has thought the same as you are now - 'they're to expensive, I can rent better for less'. And then some nesting instinct kicks in or the Landlord increases the rent once to often (or kicks them out:eek:), and they think 'bugger it...

9) Disposable income rising faster than wages. The graph below shows disposable income increasing at an average of 6%pa for the last 15 years. This is above the average wages increase (of 4%pa) and also above CPI (@3%pa for the last 15 years). It roughly corresponds with increasing...

You forgot to add the bit about over a reasonable timeframe. The timeframe most are considering is less than 50 years. Your chessboard example (I didn't watch the youtube link) would be over a 64 decade time period, so is irrelevant. Using property as an example - CBD property doubled until...

Great post thread Thanks for the clean up Joanna I agree the world can look like it's coming to an end..... however, it looks like it's coming to an end every 10-20 years or so...... some are too young or naive or easily influenced to understand..... some don't even try to understand...
