Demand has been dropping since before January. The previous months drop was even larger.

Decline in Mortgages issued:
Down 12% Sept 09 to Oct-09
Down 8% Oct 09 to Nov-09
Down 21% Nov 09 to Dec-09
Down 15% Dec 09 to Jan-10

Total drop from Sept 2009 - Jan 2010 = 45%

Mortgage sales increased from Sept 2008 to Sept 2009 by 29.6%
Mortgage sales De-creased from Jan 2009 to Jan 2010 by 21.1%

So this big drop that is being reported, is when compared to the September Peak.

However, the January 2010 numbers do appear to be at the lowest they have been for at least 3 years.

BUT... Mortgages issued to investors comparing Jan 2009 and Jan 2010 has actually risen slightly !

Can I ask you ABC Diamond, whether you still are as confident now as you were back in Oct/Nov that Australia will avoid going into recession in the early months of 2010 like I predicted?

Total change = down 7.68 on a 1,080 base = -0.711%
or 7 cents lost for every $108.00

I don't see that as a crash as such.


Sat 6th Feb 2010
New York - US stock indices rose Friday across the board, nudging into positive territory after dipping down with worries over budget deficits in individual European countries. The upswing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average came in the final hour of trading, when it emerged that the European Union may propose a solution for Greece's deficit, Bloomberg financial news service reported.

The blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 10.05 points or 0.1 per cent to 10,012.23. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 3.08 points or 0.29 per cent to 1,066.19. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 15.69 points or 0.74 per cent to 2,141.12.

The picture was less positive in Europe, where the FTSE lost 1.53 per cent, France's CAC declined 3.4 per cent and Germany's DAX shed 1.79 per cent.

From the Financial Times....

US consumer credit uncrunched?
9:11pm Something to celebrate, surely? Consumer debt shrank by a palty $1.7bn in December, the smallest contraction since last February and way below the $9bn contraction expected by economists....

Wobble? What wobble?
8:38pm Or, “Who cares about Portugal/Greece/Spain/Italy/UK ?”Or, “It was a fat finger in WTI; never seen a computerised trading glitch?”Or, “Gold is a very small market;...

A market used as a leading indicator of other market sentiment.

None the less Australia has resources to enable it to take action in a floundering global economy. What has the UK and Europe?

Why are asian markets so important? Its because they go from bust to boom in about 0.001 nano seconds. Australia has 70% of its trade with them

American greed will ignite economic stimulus. I saw more pompous culture in UK and Europe too much old money rather than blood and sweat.

My observations anyway.

I do not have the time to trawl through all your posts or the inclination.

Your responses to my statements around Oct/Nov last year, when I stated that Australia would have it's recession around Feb/Mar 2010, certainly made it obvious that you believed this most definitely would not happen and I seem to remember you posting stats at some time too

You could always just answer the question?

I still believe what I believed back then.

Do you still agree with what you said about July 2008 time ?

Sounds more like a correction than a meltdown.

You mean the Australian Stock market ?

Australian All Ordinaries Index


Or is there another one ?

The 2007-2008 one was a crash, after a massive rise.

This last one is a blip in comparison to what Australia endured in 2007-08.
We had four of those "blips", or 'crashes' if you prefer, in the big rise from 2003-2007.

Sorry, you've lost me. Would not have entered into any debates about Australian economy at July 2008. Did not move here until Feb 2009. I remember entering into discussions on the Oz economy around Oct 2009.

Unless of course, you can quote me?
