The problem we face both today and tommorow is one where many aussie investors are now concerned about what happens when the us market opens for monday trading at around midnight tonight , many will be concerned that the american market will tumble on monday trading and will be wanting to sell up before we see what happens here as it is not looking good, we may also have another day of smashing tommorow after what happens in the us market which will close at 6.00am our time tommorow morning just proir to our next market opening for trading for tuesday , so I am expecting a smashing for both today and tommorow .

I was one of the optimists in the house price thread, but after absorbing what's been going on economically over the past week it's fair to say that things are not looking good at all. One thing that's in our favour though is that we can use interest rates to fight off a recession and stimulate the economy. The US doesn't have that luxury unfortunately.
The Eurpoean situation is also a mess with Spain, France and Italy now having monetary problems of their own

Aussie market has actually come back its only 17 points down at present. JB Hifi didnt have a good annoucement (profit down 7.5%) Suggest our market wont do a lot today - it will wait to see what happens in the US tongiht and react tomorrow.

I keep getting comments like we hear in Australia are such a wealthy country! from mainly ALP faithful and doll bludgers and some young people.
That it does not matter to them at all about whether our gov mismanage money. I think we are a bustard arss country that can't even look after our infrastructure let alone our old people and veterans but we look after all the a-se wipes in our society like criminals in jail have it better than a lot of others. why do we roll out the red carpet for people who don't even want and have no intention to become aussies. I was talking to a aussie bloke who called one of these people mate on the job site, only to be informed by this moron 'that we can never be mates' ? So what type of society is this foolish Government pushing on us. When my mum came to this country in the 50's to become a citizen you had to agree to become as one people and she was proud to do so and did... I think nation building has all got to do with building on solid foundations and everything will be fine but it's all the Goats that start all the problems as history has proven it time and time again.

Gold is an extremly good conductor of electricity , far better than copper and is used for microscopic connections inside integrated circuits ( the chips in all your electronic goodies). it is also used for high quality electrical contacts and many othe industrial uses. this useless "rock" ( it is a metal) is far from useless and it's value is driven by demand V availability

I have been watching bhp this morning. Not that I have any shares any more , but it is a strong bluechip involving mining so you would think it to be one of the strongest on the share market. This morning I have watched mind games, it struggled early in the day and was looking to go under the $37 mark , it started to come good toward midday but is now looking to drop below the $37 mark . bhp have not closed below $37 dollars for over two years. This is the mind game , a thinking and hoping that this will not go below the $37 dollar mark , once it does and will , then it will be hard to pull back from and we will see further declines.
todays prices below http://www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/eq...s&asxCodes=bhp prices over last two years below. http://hfgapps.hubb.com/asxtools/Cha...0&TimeFrame=M2 |

Shares have dropped again and are now down 100 points - not good Will be interesting to see how the US markets handles the downgrade. Italy is in a bit of a mess (to put it nicely) - I think this will take some time to sort out (unfortunately)

Different era and different circumstances. This isn't a Keating Banana Republic recession we have to have we are talking about here. Ever heard of fixed rates? They weren't available for H/L until after the rate hike you mentioned, but have been ever since. Why anybody worries about having to pay even 10% these days is beyond me. If variable rate moved up quickly even 2% from the 6.9% you can get almost anywhere at present, why the hell wouldn't any borrower fix all or most of their mtg before it got to say, 9%.

![]() ![]() Yeah, the Euro situation is scary... Italy is a big chunk of coin to go south. The Euros are saying they will do what ever it takes to bail them out if need be, but the reality it that we are just throwing good money after bad. It has to stop some time and when it does it will hurt. All we can do is to try and minimise the pain a bit. |

Australia's position could do with a bit of pain, just to sort the wheat from the chaff. I feel the first rounds of stimulus were bought in to early and contribted to our current inflation issues. The money should have been at the ready for now, allowing the govt (if required) to spend on big infastructure projects that would offer decades of benefits along with skilled jobs. |

If it ever went to 17.8% again I think you'll find the housing market would crash. Hell, people might have to sell their investment homes and housing might just become affordable again.

At close, 2.9% drop... the rest of Asia has been giving up ground too - HK was down 4.1% a while ago.
