To say the least job losses vs job creation are know where near aligned, job losses are still overtaking job creation 

Not only are we losing the quantity of jobs created but quality is also on the decline. Income growth per se is largely driven at the top end not in the middle and lower class jobs.

Cotton On has always been there. The head office expansion has been in the pipes since 09. Expanding their HQ's was constrained by planning reg's so they applied to have the reg's relaxed in order to facilitate an in situ expansion capable of meeting their needs out to 500 personnel.

The reality is they never moved there because they were already…[Read more]

I don’t think they’re too bothered at this stage. With only 12m minted it’s total value is only around $9-10B.

BC has first mover advantage and public sentiment behind it but that will soon wane I’m thinking. The big guns need only buy into BC and then dump it to…[Read more]

Personally I’d paint it
better rental value
better market value (equity?)
better class of tenant
tenant more likely to take care of the property
you have to keep the maintenance up anyway

The problem with plastics and paint is that plastics have oil compounds in the plastic. You can get paint to stick to plastics fairly well but the bond will eventually fail. Given that the surface has to contend with rapid and uneven changes in temperature as well as mechanical stress and cleaning with abrasives the outcome becomes fairly obvious.…[Read more]

When they print $73B/mth and big brother China prints $203B/mth its gotta go somewhere I suppose.

See post #26.. you’re a couple days behind Rick

BC back over $1000 this morning. That’s interesting. The lesson I think is that BC is showing that it can overcome quite serious setbacks and recover. i get the impression more and more people will buy into BC especially mom and pop investors with a spare dollar or two.

I would wait for the next correction and buy in.

As I’ve mentioned before Abe will go the way others who preceded him have.

Will he complete this term or be red carded???

They know they’re boxed in and buggered if the do and buggered if they don’t. There’s mixed signals coming out of the FED so who really knows. I think they’ll do a ‘rob Peter pay Paul’ kinda move. They’re in the twilight zone as far as retaining/losing control of this thing.

Two large sales of 236 and 492 BC’s at 750 -754 stopped the rally cold.

It’s on a rally. Market depth on the buy side is increasing. Interesting…

BC just jumped after this article came out.

I would hold off at the moment. Web merchants are getting burnt by the volatility.

BC and LC are trading sideways. BC is pivoting around 730 and LC around 25. Overall trend is down but you could still see a few rallies yet however I think the steam has out of the market for the time being. Volumes are low.

You either buy now and hold on the…[Read more]
