    Hi Kay,

    Actually I enjoy reading about the market. I must admit though that the prospect of using that knowledge is part of what excites me so there was a little disappointment for me realising how much extra effort would be required to get something that works in the declining market. Of course I could just go short some REITs [biggrin].

    Hi Quiggles,

    I really do believe newspapers affect the market and is one of the reasons that the less knowledgable (mom & pop investors) have left the market.

    My line of credit here in the US is %3.75 [:)]
    What is tricky to play around with is the change in dollar if I use that money to purchase down under.

    Thanks Kay [:D]
