Vulnerable to External Influences – The Economic State of Australia (Part II)

What Happens to Market and Economy When Boomers Begin Consuming their Retirement Incomes?

The burden of today’s Daily Reckoning is to figure out what’s going to happen when Australia’s millions of baby boomers retire. From the looks of it, the stock market will crash, government finances will be stressed, and the economy is going to slow. None of that sounds very promising.

Market Feels So Weak Because it IS So Weak

Most People Think a Rising Housing Market Makes Them Richer

House prices seem to be stabilizing. In some areas, they are going up. Of course, in some places you can get a house at half the price it sold for two years ago. That lures buyers back into the market.

Total Meltdown of the Aussie Housing Market

Next Wednesday will see the release of the national accounts for June. Those figures will probably show the economy being less bad than previously expected. That might lead to the end of the “emergency setting” of the RBA cash rate at 3%, which will precipitate the decline and fall…

Austerity is Missing from the Financial Bailout Debate

Three Kinds of Money in the Marketplace

There’s the smart money that goes with the trend. There’s the dumb money that bets against the trend. And there’s the money that doesn’t know whether it is coming or going.

Binge Housing, Australia-style

There’s more news on the housing front to report and argue about. Remember, all we’re saying is that rising Australian housing prices had a lot more to do with the credit boom than any critical shortage of housing stock. This alleged shortage is often alluded to but never proven, so far as we can see. If someone does have proof, we’re happy to publish it. But if there were really a shortage of housing units, wouldn’t there be a lot more people living in the streets or in their cars?

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.
