Why is it people, you seem it necessary to debate the comings and goings of the Aus property market?

they are just a reflection of the general greed levels

I can't disagree with that – which is why I am sure that socially, even more than financially, the property market in Australia has to correct in the order of 30%. Greed is killing this country and oddly I have never cared as much about it (never was very…[Read more]

Don't leave wars out either, they have a way of reducing population in the flick of a switch. But viruses are the big leveler. At the end of the day yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery and that's why they say the present is a gift.

Rents will play catch up as they are, then prices will rise unless we hit an oil fuelled recession.

Ormeau – I'm with crashy, your post is out of place and actually pretty low on facts and sound reasoning. One of the biggest empires of all times, the Roman Empire, did not fall apart due to depletion of local resources, but their decline was much more related to a decline in morals and increasing greed and corruption. I found &…[Read more]

Just curiously.  When looking at multiples of yearly income – anyone know what Singapore is?  I know their property is REALLY expensive.  And they seem to be doing well (certainly loads of buildings)

One thing in their favour is they have one singular superannuation fund. "And no commissions paid to advisers"

If we end up with a 30% unemployment rate from the oil shock I am sure it will turn into an oversupply when our mortgage stressed Australians move back into Mum n Dad's and start living a more wholesome life.

I believe Peak Oil is imminent and proven. I believe we have neither the will or the capability to prevent a collapse. I feel that our entire economy is based on an ever escalating consumption process and must be wiped clean if we ever have a chance at sustainability. I believe that we are in population overshoot and must have a reduction. I…[Read more]

Its okay to have Holland paying $3 for gas, they have shorter distances compared to Australia food mileage

So I wonder why the traders have jumped on oil since January? Hmmm, anybody? Because while they were doing their homework on peak oil the rest of the sheeple were worrying about buying ther next plastic pumpkin. The traders know we have peaked, they know there will be war between Iran. One thing I like about forums, you can always look back.
