@nonestlex I think you are also overlooking the massive stranglehold that the unions have on the market. The unions made it so ridiculously expensive to have ANYTHING manufactured in Australia that is unable to be cost effective. CFMEU have a hold on the construction industry at this point

Australia is a sad, pathetic country. There are no companies, just real estate agents and public servants. Where is the innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship? It’s been crushed by taxation and regulation. Everyone is too afraid to do anything because they don’t even know what they’re allowed to do anymore. So they just clock into their government job and watch footy on the weekend. Who is creating anything? We have abundant natural resources, a beautiful and inspirational country-side. We live on a massive, isolated island. Australia should be world leading in every field. It should be a utopia of free thought, free enterprise, and innovation. But instead everyone is spiritually crushed by the nanny state. You can’t fish or hunt or start a business or speak or build without seeking permission from some goblin in the public service. A leech. A parasite. Who only exists to suck the life out of you. We need libertas. Freedom. Remove the shackles and people will do amazing, awe-inspiring things in this beautiful land. But they can’t. They’re locked into 30-year mortgages that take away the majority of their take home pay. Slaves to Commonwealth Bank just to own 200 square metres of land in Preston. They have nothing left at the end of each month to experiment with. So they’re forced to be a wage slave at one of the 8 companies that exist in this country. Because it’s impossible to run anything apart from a large company in Australia. The small ones can’t afford the compliance costs. Nobody understands the thousands of pages of legislation they need to comply with the run a company. We had this amazing opportunity and we fumbled it because everyone voted away their freedoms in exchange for some fake safety. The penal colony never ended. We asked for it to continue and it did.

@klimaalvaro @BOM_Qld Great graphic

@SJosephBurns MA's

You can only use one technical indicator on your charts for the rest of your life. Which one do you choose?

#NASDAQ #SPX #DJIA looking to push a little lower again, #USD hovering, weak in some crosses flat on the index. Interesting flow mid week.

@Silver_Watchdog I am keeping an eye on 'Battery' technology, who ever develops a sustainable new energy storage system will be king. My money hovers around this. Received offers to be involved in a couple & so far some look interesting, but sustainability & capacity are the issues presently

Which industry would you bet on over the next decade: batteries or 3D printers?

@matt_barrie $1.25 would be a nice target

Worth $1.25

Counter in for $CDV from Nord at 90c

@gregorymckenna @dailystoic I would go further to say that we make sure the focus is in the right direction Best thing that ever happened to me was my forced break away... appreciation of the pure simple joy of life. One shot mate that is all we have.

I’m not bad but if only I could do this all the time and get the kids to too...but hey Marcus Aurelius didn’t have mobile phones 🤦‍♂️ Via ⁦@dailystoic⁩ on #Insta

@AussieP_Bateman #rim #PMY #SVL #BBX added, Holding #S32 #IVR #BHP #MKR #MTR #WRM Some ETF's and a healthy CFD contribution Have other #mining #Stocks couple speculative but good research platform behind them with investors sniffing in the wings. Game keeps you alive..

HAve a cracking weekend #traders... Off to the sunshine coast and our little cabin in the hinterland.. time to switch off #nocharts #trading #FX #Forex #Stocks #sharemarket

@TheKouk and it will keep going, no one is going to stop it...

Government debt just hit a new record: $768.6 billion. That is up 181% since the September 2013 election. The govt is planning to borrow yet another $7 billion next week.

@TMFScottP Further, bloody enjoy the game! This is the best job, enjoy it, make the most of it, feel privileged to be looking on the inside as most go about their day oblivious. Take time out and relax, play golf, ride a bike, fish, walk, just do something, spend time with loved ones Enjoy

As an investor, success can be intoxicating. Failure can be depressing. But both are fleeting and - crucially - in the past. Don't get caught up in the emotion. Sure, enjoy the wins and rue the losses. But dwelling on either is self-indulgent and unhelpful Move forward.

@TMFScottP On point.

I was able to leverage off it to buy property, I was able to leverage off it to secure deals, and I have kept buying it. Now I also trade it.. BIG difference in strategy. At 47 I have bought physical Gold every year since then The S&P is the same, buy into the market and hold.

#Gold similar, I remember as an apprentice, 16yrs of age, my boss said to me "buy Gold, keep buying Gold, stuff the cars and girls, buy gold" so I did, I had no idea that it went down in price, and when I was 26 I bought lots more, I have kept buying it

Many charts thus the same, It depends on the approach Most on this forum are #traders & look short term, at best they look to a week Investors are happy to sit & wait, would not even look at a weekly chart let alone a daily. Months & years, that is what James is talking about.

Isn't the #aussie having a nice day in the sun.. #AUDUSD #AUDCAD #AUDCHF #AUDJPY #AUDNZD The Kangaroo and #Kiwi though are nearing long term levels (well 2014 if you call that long term), could be interesting to watch the play for the little digger downunder. No position yet

Oh and the trades are sitting pretty... might cut the shiny stuff though, a little dip to the 1785 mark could be in play and banking here is not too shabby

Morning World.. Awesome day, sun is out, water is flat as a pancake on the beach outside and I have been for a ride.. life is good..

@SCMarshall130 Blissfully missed this news, . so I am assuming they were grubs and in the USA, ergo were shot by a 'lawfully carrying citizen'?

@TTCSteve So further, the best way to take over anything is to convince the masses that you are on their side, then erode what is established and convince them that the new is the better, Just look to the past for examples of that.. Gold standard is one such example and any political field

@mplewer Just my silly view, but I think they'll be more interested in replacing it with their own in due course...gov aren't too keen on competition with their monetary rights

#BTC below 11 and I am looking to #buy & #trade again at 9 #FX #Trader Cant deny its an investment, speculative, but still an investment Its definitely not going away and it wont be long before the #banks work out a way to accept it and take a cut
