Re: Interest rates have gone up again
If Rudd and co. can stem interest at only three rises I would be impressed and given them credit for offering my financial future some stability. I'm not poor but not overly comfortable. My mortgage is not quite 200,000, easy half the equity in the house. I have a little saved but I RESENT being the easy target when inflation needs controlling.

Re: Interest rates have gone up again
Trixy, all this discussion has come about because of your post on page 5, where you reckon that the interest rate rises are the fault of Kevin Rudd!! Which is garbage.
You're just arguing for the sake of it now....why not just admit "ok, I'm wrong....Rudd hasn't had any effect on interest rates" ?!!!

Re: Interest rates have gone up again
Think about what you have based your beliefs on. Are they based on any evidence? Do you actually know anything about economics and equity markets? Or are you just going by what you have seen on channel 7 and read in the couriermail?
If its the latter, then you should at least entertain the possibility that your beliefs are based on dud info.
cheers

Yes, you are allowed to think whatever you like. You can blame whoever you want for whatever you want. But you should consider the possibility, that perhaps your beliefs are wrong.

Please don't condescend to ask me to give out my qualifications so you can judge whether it justifies my O-P-I-N-I-O-N. I base what I say mostly on my experiences and whatever learning I've picked up on the way. Really I haven't asked you to prove yourself to me so I can decide whether you should believe what you believe.
I loathe most mainstream media.
Honestly mark, this is less about a belief than a reaction I have based on my experiences and judgement. A belief requires faith and don't get me started on that! I wish you guys would afford me the right to not think as you do without psycho analysing me for it. I haven't asked you why you think the way you do and frankly I've spent too much time and PAGES explaining why I do hold my opinions. If you missed those posts.. tough shit.

Re: Interest rates have gone up again
I took economics at Uni but since it was not an English university maybe that doesn't count?

**** off. Is that succinct enough? Honestly you people are so bloody patronising.

Re: Interest rates have gone up again
Ok, Trixy.....I didn't realise you took economics and everyone else here clearly needs an education. So maybe you could help out with your question above first? The connection between interest rates and your super - discuss.

Re: Interest rates have gone up again
I have. I'm truly sick of you. You are obnoxious and unreasonable. I have grown to dislike the English a lot today.
