I think pacemakers should be allowed in Australia, at least for the big G1 2000m features.
Unless there is something out of the ordinary, LINDERMANN sets a sedate tempo for the first half of the race in the Queen Elizabeth and we don't see a true test of who is the ten furlong champ.
Tom surely doesn't ask DUBAI HONOUR to push on again? Craig unlikely to be aggressive on SIR DELIUS? And the others probably aren't the types to generate an honest gallop on-pace.
@88888sAccount Lol FIRB fee is like $7k plus stamp duty is almost double for foreign investors. But that's besides the point, to use the HA 5% deposit scheme you need to be a PR or citizen. Stop the rage bait 🤣
@BoomTimeCC@bowtiedstocks Most of these mortgages are not sustainable. It happened in many countries, Australia cannot defy the economic and math laws. It’s a matter of time.
Average first home buyer age in Australia today is around 36-37
For a lot of them, they would also be tied down with kids, the costs that comes with that and school fees etc
If they are getting into the market with a 10-20% deposit
If prices fall 30% or more from the current highly inflated levels
Can they realistically recover from this?
Or will they be negative equity debt slaves for a large portion of their remaining working life ??
It strikes me as a fairly grim setup
@BoomTimeCC@bowtiedstocks POV someone who doesn't understand debasement
You act as if zero people went bankrupt in 2008 because "the numbers higher now though"
Fuckwit
@BoomTimeCC@Addi56640@bowtiedstocks Yes I shouldn’t say if… it’s already started, just wait for the data to catch up and be released. we’re in recession!
Unemployment is rising
@Temjinck@bowtiedstocks Fair enough, didn't think i implied impossible. Just think highly unlikely. Our population is still growing, supply can't meet demand, there's not enough new housing, no incentive to build new houses, so on and so on. Think a 30% drop is highly unlikely
Toronto is one, inflatio adjusted. Go and check their house prices. The Canadians will say the same thing to us. "Different market, too much demand, the government will save the market, cannot happen at all". Its the same fundamental. It would be naive to claim it is impossible to happen here at all. Those I know in Hong Kong said the exact same thing few years ago. China was more extreme from their social media. You get to learn more by being in the thick of other markets and find similarities.
@Addi56640@bowtiedstocks@BoomTimeCC If recession hits and there’s mass layoffs, then unemployment rises the gov will have no choice but to cut migration. No point flooding a country that has no jobs
@themgmtconsult@bowtiedstocks Let's not forget Aus government underwriting or guaranteeing ~150k (maybe more) home loans under the low deposit schemes. If prices crash, our government's in a shit load more trouble as well. Correction and 30% drop are quite significant
@themgmtconsult@bowtiedstocks Bingo! If house prices drop 30%, 5 of the top 10 largest companies on the ASX tank. ANZ, CBA, NAB, WESTPAC and Mac. Super funds are massive shareholders. Property prices collapse, we're in a lot more trouble as a community than the property owners
@cpbaken@oddball_mr@bowtiedstocks No consensus on imminent bust, but correction risk is real if affordability worsens.
? Correction isn't 30% price drop
@BoomTimeCC@bowtiedstocks China experienced more than 30% drop in a lof of area, they seems to be doing fine. Same in some cities in Canada. They are doing fine too.
