Wasn't Jacinda more of a populist though? so there's really no one on the political horizon in Oz who can shake things up for the middle class?

Redneck was a really nice guy, a rarity on this forum

Is Redneck gone from the forum?

Hi Handle123, Did you eventually get stopped out of this one?

What would happen to RE is Labour won ala Jacinda in kiwi-land? Aren't they (Labour) ahead of Turnbull et al in the polls right now?

I believe you Mickey re nasty gubmint, same thing everywhere you look around the world. Those 4 sure walk and quack like a cartel, and with Turnbull as an ex GS guy there must be plenty of goodwill towards them despite the recent investigation decision. Budget deficit of 1-2%, so I don't know if...

yeah a weaker dollar filters in through the Chinese dirty peg, but ultimately we're in a bullish phase of the global cycle. The latest jobs report seems to suggest as well, what kind of jobs were those btw? Gov. Lowe is on hold for now, I think he's well aware of the risks of popping the RE...

“Nothing focuses your mind like a drawdown,” Mr. Kharitonov said, referring to the loss. “We learned a lot from last year.” So let me get this straight. They don't know how the black box spits out its trades but they learned a lot from the loss?

Fantastic, thanks for the walkthrough. So what can be driving the mining activity pickup again? I guess China hasn't run out of unneeded crap to build (one belt nonsense) yet? Laughed out loud at the 4 seasons in one day quip. Is it true that the government has enabled this bubble all...

Thanks mate. You down there? Any color on which parts of the country are particularly in deep doo? Western? Queensland?

These guys are going to lose their shirts when the next bear rolls around. Wait for it....

What's happening in the land down under in the property market? Sounds like Australia hasn't had a recession in forever. You guys are invincible!

For the same reason that certain high profile hedge funds can't make money in recent years following the SEC's crackdown. These lords of the scuttle-butt never knew how to make honest money in the first place. There's a difference between being "elite" and knowing how to trade. As it turns out...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/steven-a-cohen-andreessen-backed-diy-quant-fund-struggles-1510095947 Nov 7, 2017: "A quant-trading firm backed by hedge-fund investor Steven A. Cohen and venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz has run into early problems. Quantopian gained attention by creating a...

I say this very respectfully, because PTJ is legit legend: I disagree entirely with the premise that there have been no great trading opportunities over the last 5 years in an attempt to justify a 1% return for discretionary macro funds. It's just that the strategic paradigms they use to trade...

PTJ correctly sees the bubbles in bitcoin and fine art, but doesn't see the one in quant-based trading?

Oh yes you are assuming too much. The fact that they are less variable is cold comfort to the rational investor. The point is that 10-20 years of data is nothing, and has been proven to provide a false sense of security. Cantab returning 0% over the last 4 years should therefore cause one to be...

You are assuming your conclusion, once again begging the question on this claim above re "we need relatively little data". You also contradict your own statements below. If 10-20 years is not enough for statistical knowledge on returns, it is also not enough for statistical knowledge of...
