@koonenberrygold @BullsNBearsWA I believe you guys may have something that has real potential. Just hoping the selling stops and the share price gains traction. I have averaged down enough! Today, great bounder has similar news and went up 10% Koonenberry went down 7%.

Koonenberry $KNB Executive Chairman Paul Harris caught up with @BullsNBearsWA MD Matt Birney to discuss the expansion of our Lachlan Fold Belt position via the acquisition of the high-grade Gundagai Gold-Copper Project. 🔊 Listen: loom.ly/TsftibE

@fulovitboss Charmers & media imply this will hit Boomers hardest. Not so to a Boomer like me & many others. Sold my rentals, 95% of shares in SMSF with a chunk of earnings tax free. This will hit Gen X now who are building wealth & younger people in the future. Labor likes voters poor.

Whenever the smart people work out the best new tax structure for trading the stock market please share it around. I'm going to miss the 12 month CGT tax discount incentive after next June. I'll definitely not be investing in the stock market for as long anymore.

@MattBobBrad1 @rjmontgomery Far less gov handouts. No child care subsidies. One partner had years off work to look after kids. Higher income tax rates. No barista coffee and smashed avocado breakfasts. Not afraid to go to the bush to work to earn more.

@RustyRoggers @rjmontgomery Boomer got lucky on when they were born. Worked hard like every generation but thinks he worked harder

Older Australians didn’t get there because they had it easy. They endured recessions, rate shocks, market crashes, the GFC and COVID, while saving and investing for decades so they wouldn’t be a burden on the public system. #retirement #investing #wealthcreation #australia #montinvest

@NeilRingdahl I can relate. I sold silver stocks in the down turn and may regret it and bought coal miners and gas developers when the Iran conflict got underway paying top dollar. For now in the red.

Highlighting my latest investment failures: I got heavily caught up in the in the tail end of January's Ag rise👇, buying $HSLV and $AU + averaging up on $HL. 20/20 hindsight - Woeful timing & I'm particularly embarrassed with my choice of $HSLV which was made with almost no research apart from the fact they were silver-heavy & had San Luis. 🫣 I foolishly thought they had only the one project which I liked, but then I realized -too late-🤪they had just acquired Corani, a project which while huge has been trying for 20+yrs & I doubt will be built. Then I heard there were potential community issues with San Luis as well...so I was pounding sand. To top it off silver collapsed that week on over-buying & war news. I waited until Friday last week to sell $HSLV and got out at $8.15 which while was a small 4% win, I consider this was a bullet dodged at a good price. Looking back I could have waited until this week, but thought silver would drop again on Dire Straits of Homuz news. Still HODL my $HL and $AU because both are producing at a good profit, even though I am still in the red (-1% & -4%) on both Jan purchases. Overall, I am still +71% on my avg. purchase price for $HL, been accumulating since June. These two Co's together with $AEM and $RIO2 make up 87% of my currently invested portfolio, the balance mostly being on copper majors $FQM & $IVN, the latter of which I am considering dropping.

@DudeInBrisbane @RonShamgar @bowtiedstocks There was no CGT at all before 1985. Most commentators ignore or have forgotten this. Pre 1985 house prices went up but not at the current rate which is driven more likely by immigration than CGT tax discount.

@RonShamgar @bowtiedstocks Did CGT also get increased simultaneously?

Most propadee types look at things backwards They think rents are going to rise just like magic due to tax changes At least this is what they kick and scream about Here’s a hint - rents are driven by incomes and vacancy rates It at no point enters their pea sized brains that prices will instead correct materially

@PeterCronau Ha ha. Yes! All the foreigners who are from the Middle East invading Western Countries. That is the conspiracy & it is working. One Nation is not far right just Right in its pushback of this unwanted activity. Your Lefties have allowed this to occur now will pay the price.

The fact that such similar far rightwing parties are rising around the Western world at precisely the same time, suggests a level of coordination by foreign hands. abc.net.au/news/2026-05-1…

@GeoffWilsonWAM @fulovitboss @abcnews Labor’s playbook is to have less successful people and more battlers to shore up their electoral prospects. Add the to the overzealous immigration policy and they will be in office forever and the country and its people will get poorer.

The @abcnews is running propaganda for Albanese’s tax grab, it’s not reporting! Yes, older, wealthier Australians benefit most from the CGT discount. That’s not a bug, it’s the entire point. They took the risks, built businesses, bought properties, worked decades, and reinvested instead of blowing it all. Now @ausgov and their state media arm want to punish success to fund more spending, more migrants, and more “equity” for people who haven’t done the same. This isn’t about “the rich paying their fair share.” It’s envy dressed as policy. Halving the discount (or worse) will: • Hammer retirees relying on asset sales for super top-ups. • Discourage investment in housing and shares exactly when Australia needs more of both. • Drive capital and people overseas. We all know that smart money doesn’t stick around for retrospective punishment. • Hurt the next generation most: fewer jobs, slower wage growth, and even harder-to-buy homes because supply stays choked. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. Every time governments “soak the rich” like this, the middle class and aspirational get soaked next. The ABC knows it. @AlboMP and @JEChalmers knows it. They’re hoping you’re too dumb or distracted by the class warfare graphics to notice they’re breaking another election promise while killing the golden goose. Australians built this country by keeping more of what they earn, not by having Canberra take a bigger cut every time someone succeeds. Stop the spin.

@PhillipCoorey Why is cpi never taken into account when taxing interest on cash investment. 12 months with 3% cpi and 4% interest should be taxed on 1% not 4%. IE tax on $1 not $4 on every $100 invested. Why is this never an issue?

Return to pre-1999 CGT discount no big deal, says industry afr.com/politics/feder…

@LambDownUnder Yes, I agree lack liquidity cuts both ways & that’s why I like it. Owned twice, did ok. Looking to own again.

@RustyRoggers Could be correct. Low liquidity cuts both ways though as well. Could be quite a quick move up if (it is...) the energy complex generally has supply issues to work through over a few months/years

Yancoal $YAL.ax earnings call key takeaways.. -zero questions on the phone. All questions were web based. -nearly all were centred around diesel and supply. -surprising lack of questions about the purchase of Kestrel, although financing costs was discussed. No details, and confidential at present -no diesel supply impacts -guidance maintained, although costs likely to be at high end of range. -re-iterated lagged impact of pricing (contracts lag index by a couple of months) - diesel accounts for about $7/tonne of costs. - UG don't use material volumes of diesel compared to open cuts, and a lot of the OC still use electric production machines. Drag lines and face shovels. My key takeaway is that yes diesel is a major part of a mining companies cost, but not to the extent that warrants recent sell downs of a lot of mining (especially $gold) companies. Particularly the UG mines being sold down hard makes zero sense. I remain bullish on gold miners, the recent sell down is stupid. But also bullish on energy generally and especially $coal. Even if the shitshow in the middle east was fixed today, the supply disruptions will take months (years in some cases) to work through. Long and strong real assets generally, especially after seeing the political response globally and here in Aust. Governments can't print molecules.

@Eagleresa @DonDurrett Sold my small holding today. Can’t stand the stress…

@DonDurrett They’re paying $175M for 25% of Kiaka - payback <1yr? - and prodn is increasing/expanding. But why stop there..could get more and Sanbrado too. Risk is knock-on tho - of other countries in Africa saying why don’t we do that ?

Burkina Faso is demanding the right to own 40% of West African Resources' mine. They already have 15% free carry. Now they are demanding the ability to purchase an additional 25%. They will receive 40% of the profit. Orezone Gold and IAMGold both have large mines in Burkina Faso. They likely will face the same demand. 🙄 mailchi.mp/c1a926748dd3/a…

@Eagleresa @Englishremnant Dutch and Portuguese accidentally ran into the West coast as they were going to Batavia from the Cape of Good Hope. They. could not assess longitude accurately. The Brits knew something big existed. Cook mapped the east coast and took possession. Others just ignored it.

@Englishremnant Reputedly was using a Portuguese plan showing Australia’s location- & had been discovered by a number of countries before.

On this day in 1770, (19th April) 256 years ago, Captain James Cook first sighted the east coast of Australia aboard the Endeavour. A master navigator and a man of rare discipline, Cook charted vast stretches of the unknown with precision and nerve, pushing further than most would dare. His voyages opened up the Pacific, strengthened Britain’s standing in the world, and left a lasting mark on history. A fearless English explorer, steady, capable, and resolute. One of our greatest sons. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇦🇺

@JustinWolfers A metal that cannot corrode and conducts electricity is useful in jewelry and electronics. Not totally useless.

“Gold has no inherent value. It's a shiny rock... people buy gold because they think other people value gold, and that's a self sustaining equilibrium.”

@LukeyTrags At current (stable) coal price & YAL's limited share float, share price should drift down as punters lose interest until the next 1/2 year report. Maybe the time to buy will be late May-early June. Increase in coal price & YAL will do very well. I sold @ $6.90, almost back there.

Despite ppl saying it will rinse, it's holding up best of the ASX coalies so far given the overnight sell-off in energy (actually trading 1% green as I type this).. I have futher thoughts on the deal but first am going to tune into the analyst call at 11.. $YAL.AX #coaltwitter

@MChandlerMather And, this is why the Greens will never be a serious contender running the economy. You don't tax revenue, you tax profit or reasonable royalties. Too much tax & risk capital goes elsewhere & you have rust belt industries. The Greens like people poor as it suits socialism.

BREAKING Green Institute report calls for a 50% tax on gas export revenue, after our analysis finds gas corporations stand to double revenue up to $107 billion this year. A 50% gas tax would raise $55 billion in 2026/27 - enough to give every household in Aus $5000. So why 50%?

@globallithium @FinancialReview Our leadership is just pathetic but pretty harmless except to us. Your leader is a loose cannon who is doing a lot of damage globally and to the credibility of your nation.

@YellowLabLife Monday is a holiday in Oz. ASX closed

@paola_rojas @ekwufinance Nuclear doesn't solve the liquid fuel problem. Still need diesel for highway and off highway trucks and other earth moving and agricultural equipment as well as jet fuel. Nuclear solves a coal issue that we don't have and intermittent renewables.

@ekwufinance there is a simple solution - unban nuclear once and for all

Australia is one of the biggest losers in this energy crisis - 90% of its fuel imports are coming from Asia - ~60% of Asia’s oil imports come from the Middle East How long until Asia imposes an export ban on fuel imports as their own countries are entering a deep crisis?

@paola_rojas When this blows over as it surely will and petrol/gas flows again then there will be a lot of almost new ICR cars for sale at a good price. I need a new Lexus.

This oil shortage is going to make the decision pretty easy for anyone on the fence about whether buying an EV/Hybrid or ICE…
