Tomorrow is one of the most important financial anniversaries of the last 100 years. But how will investors celebrate? Or will they mourn? Or will even more of them start to buy gold, which traded at around US$1,006 in the futures markets?

Government Debt Bubble is What Directly Precedes Inflation
First things first. The budget comes out tomorrow. Blah blah blah. What is really left to say? The Treasurer predicts collapsing revenues from the GFC and has cut spending in some places while increasing it in others. The annual deficit could be around $70 billion (we expect it to be lower so it’s ‘not as bad as we expected’)…

Marshalling the Armies of Inflation
Is Mr. Market schizophrenic? He’s acting like it. Just before 1pm on Friday, the All Ordinaries traded at 3,201. The market was bad and getting worse. Then, shares rallied nearly 5.7% for the rest of the day. The All Ords closed up 54 points on the day. But from the intraday low to the close, it was more like 186 points. Now that’s what we call a bounce back! Maybe Mr. Market had a few martinis for lunch and came back in a reckless mood…

Crude Oil vs The All Ordinaries… Who Will Win?
The All Ordinaries has fallen in much the same way as crude oil has risen. But since oil corrected, the bounce in shares hasn’t taken off yet. There are a couple of reasons that might be the case.

All Ordinaries Reach 52 Week Low
It’s pretty bad out there. Before he left to have his Visa renewed in New Zealand, our technical analyst Gabriel told us to watch 5,050 on the All Ordinaries. We’re watching. The All Ords opened up and promptly fell two percent to 5,105. It’s a new 52-week low. What about that data yesterday on the housing market and retail sales? Retail sales rose by 0.7% in May. Apparently that was stronger than analysts expected. Should it surprise anyone?

All Ordinaries Down 17%, Worst Showing in 30 Years
The All Ordinaries is set to finish the financial year down around 17%. That would be its worst showing in nearly 30 years. The financial year performance is what matters to super investors. But it doesn’t really tell you the whole story, does it? Since June 30th, 2003, the ASX/200 is up 72%. That includes the 23% fall we’ve had from the early November high of 6,828. It all depends on how you define your terms, doesn’t it? The RBA’s latest chart pack has three interesting charts.
