    Visiting a foreign country

    We in Australia welcome refugees from the USA. We do speak English and we DO in fact have an economy. We have noticed however that many refugees from the USA are in fact republican voters and are themselves 'full of piss and wind' blustering types. They quickly get chewed up by us here...

    mentor

    I don't trade or invest in any companies here. Our corporate governance is abysmal, our regulator is toothless, compliance is woeful etc I stick to the rest of the world- US, Asia, Europe etc Only an complete idiot would invest in and trade Australian stocks exclusively IMHO

    Mortgage bailout? WTF?

    We in Australia don't 'bail-out' people who can't/won't pay their mortgage. We run an economy based on the principles laid out by Adam Smith among others ('the invisible hand of the market'). I think your problem is you guys are too close geographically to Cuba and Venezuala. Their communist...

    You know Ben is going to cut 50 bp

    If he said 'Economists don't matter' he might have won the Nobel Prize! When I worked at Nomura there was this PhD in Economics who's forecasts were wrong (significantly miscalculated) for two years straight! He now teaches at some University in the USA I heard.

    Cisco Systems

    One of the most over-rated stocks on Wall St in my view. Never owned it, don't even look at it. Everyone was pumping it a few months ago....then it dived.....leading me to conclude they must have been short.

    these rate cuts are hilarious

    Good post and an excellent comment! The treasury, the Fed, the administration, the banks, the investment banks etc are all in denial of this basic fact. It will bite them on the arse eventually.

    What the world's greatest trader says about daytrading

    This is what I've been saying for a long time! Back in my day a "trader" was someone who bought a stock in Jan and sold on Feb etc. Nowadays, it is someone who buys at 9:31:15 and sells at 9:32:02 No matter how sophisticated your software programs and black boxes are, they can't account...

    "THE LESSON ON CUTTING RATES." by wolfgang munchau

    When I was in New York a few years ago I was accosted by dozens of bums wanting me to give them money. I see these bums now work in Wall St bleeting for lower interest rates. Pathetic sight then, just as pathetic now.

    this is why subprime borrowers shouldn't be bailed out

    LOL ..ahem.. 1/ All of Australia wasn't a prison colony, mainly Sydney. Melbourne where I come from was colonised by free settlers. 2/ Not all of us, less than 30% wanted to send our troops to Iraq. I agree it was a token gesture by FORMER Prime Minister Howard. Most of us would...

    this is why subprime borrowers shouldn't be bailed out

    I live in Australia and generally try to stay away from the USA if I can help it. The reason is precisely because of your 'Subprime Classes'. ..and they've got stupid tattoos and headlice Why can't you just put all of them in prison?
