I guessed as much. Excellent content. It must have been frustrating being unable to format it on a phone with one bar.

and the surprise is ... it took the tax-payer funded ABC 30 years ( or 20 years depending on which pivot-point selected ) , to say much about itHow Australia was ripped off by the US free trade agreement.
How America ripped off Australia with 'free trade'
If the events of the past few weeks have proven anything, it is that free trade agreements are worthless, at least when it comes to trade.www.abc.net.au
Some interesting tangents in there
Just bait and switch out to the democrats. Let Trump take the heatWhich country is going to trust the Americans with agreements moving forward ?. That said if the Americans want to pay more for our exports, let them.
Go "Boom" in what way though?
Something had to give.Not wishing to be controversial but DJT has been quite successful despite being a moron.
The smartest guys in the room led us in to so many crises in the last 25 years.

A good question for ANYONE on the receiving end of taxpayer funds.i thought it was asking how their money was being spent.
moron , or just not as educated as some ?Not wishing to be controversial but DJT has been quite successful despite being a moron.

well , at least bring down GDP as it is currently calculatedThe big thing I'm currently waiting for is trump's first budget/fiscal year.
So far we're only getting one-off's - cutting aid to ukraine, implementing tariffs, cutting foreign aid, defunding nato contributions etc etc. These are all singular events that tell us a bit but are nowhere near enough to put a picture together. The other thing is that it's going to take time for industries to adjust to all of this. If they suspect trump's policies are just going to be a bit of a flash in the pan they probably won't change anything and might just eat the pain from overseas imports etc and change almost nothing. But if it becomes clear that many of his policies will be continued by his successor (democrat or republican) then that's when we'll see a more significant shift. Same goes for countries with things like contributions into nato and the arms industries that will expand within europe if there's a more permanent shift, so on and so forth.
The U.S fiscal year begins 1 october. Their fiscal deficit is still massive and the budget isn't anywhere near balanced. Should the tariffs fail to bring in the revenue required we may see him expand them further/cut spending elsewhere even more.
Irrespective of the politics of how he's planning to do it, he does seem determined to balance the budget one way or another.
Futures deep into the red to start this week.Government shutdown avoided so stocks rally. Green to end the week.
Let's see how long it lasts.
Berkshire is going up.Nasdaq down but dow up. Dead giveaway that risk assets are being liquidated in order to rotate into defensives.
Let's see if it continues.
well now Charlie is gone , you would have to wonder about 'key person risk 'Berkshire is going up.
You reckon this thing will still be popular if the Oracle drops off his perch?
Also can the new management, project the selfless image of the previous management, that will be a hard act to follow.well now Charlie is gone , you would have to wonder about 'key person risk '
now Vanguard didn't crumble when Jack Bogle died , but then Berkshire is a vastly different style of fund , will the investors stay on AND can the new management keep the performance up
look no further than MQG , without the charisma of Nicholas Moore to what might happen
