    Yup, AUS economy is already too late to rescue... thx to ScoMo 'tango-ing' withTrump.... err sorry 'MR. titanium' I've seen lots of local businesses closing in SYD area, can't afford the rent and this stupid light rail work kills everyone as no customers are attracted looking @ those tradies... from Spain btw.

    How thick is Gladys on this project...already overdue and over-budget

    Probably a result of the war against marijuana.

    There's just not enough stoners around to keep pizza shops bussy now days.

    Looks like the FED has dumped $300 Billion into the markets in just two months. No QE going on here :p

    Well the DOW is down over 420 Points, so the speculators in 'THE CASINO' are not happy with the amount pumped into the economy with the cut.

    It could be an interesting day for the remaining 4 Hours. _JOHNLGALT.

    Rates are lowered because everyone is lowering rates. The real battle is on the currency front. There's talk about an RMB devaluation coming.
