Australian Dollar

Re: Australian Dollar
I'm thinking about the one up Perry Rd in Wanneroo. Where do you have to store your weapon? (Is it OK to refer to it as a "weapon" if you are in a pistol club?)

Re: Australian Dollar
I'm too cheap to own a weapon and couldn't be bothered going through WAPOLs laborious firearms licence application process. So I just borrow their shotties, .45s and .44s

Take the automobile to fuel, but the fuel will not go to the automobile? Its like Mohammed and the mountain?

I know it's back to the subject, but this was an interesting article in The Times yesterday, about banks being unable to raise funds for mortgages now, and how they will effectively be pulling the plug on first time buyers, and the likely affect on the rest of the UK housing market:
Article from The Times
There was also this interesting co-article answering questions about the UK property market. Looks like bad news for any potential ex-pats looking to sell...

Interesting article. Banks borrow short and lend long. In other words, they have to continously borrow money in order to cover long-term mortgages. This is why banks can get into so much trouble in the current environment when the world's suppliers of capital (many of whom are in Asia and the Middle East) are scared and confused and don't want to lend money to anyone. Banking is a confidence game and the system can collapse like a pack of cards if that confidence evaporates. Australia is protected for the time being because our interest rates are high and this offsets lack of confidence in the value of our housing stock.
I see you're from Newton. I was there last weekend and thought it was a great place with a funky vibe and wouldn't it be a nice place to buy a modest terrace... until I saw how much they cost :curse: I guess I'll just have to wait a year or two when house prices have come crashing down.

Anybody's pet will tell you that a downturn is on its way. However, a 1930s-type depression? Only a fantasist/Daily Mail alarmist writer would come up with that.
But, be under no illusion, if US goes into recession, Europe, Oz won't be that far behind. Just cast your mind back a few weeks ago when the falls on Wall Street triggered some large 'irrational' falls on the Oz market. It underlines the fact that US is still the world's economic engine.
And before China and India are cited as the saviours of Oz, who do you think they sell their finished goods to? And don't forget that China's inflation is on the way up, so we'll see a contraction there too.
You'd better start praying.

Based on what insight exactly? Total tosh.

China's economy is only based in small part on selling their crap to the west.
I'm not praying, I work for a university war would have to break our before they close UWA and even I'm not predicting that.
