    Markets preparing for US government shutdown

    Then you must not read or listen to MSM... as I read about this on both Reuters and Bloomsberg on Saturday(as in last week)... this old news and this has been standard procedure for every shutdown that I know anything about.

    People "look" very worried!

    That made my day!!! I was laughing so hard everyone wanted to know the story!!! The same drivel and verbal diarrhea... different mouth and different decade. You gotta love it! The reality of what is happening and what will happen is somewhere between the extremes... usually just right of...

    People "look" very worried!

    Could have not said better myself... I don't care! Not sure why you should either... it is really beyond me how Australians are so concerned about the USA, when they have more than enough problems at home... I guess it always easier to fix anybody's problems but your own.

    Chris Duane would have nothing to gain from encouraging everyone 'to keep the faith'... I give most used car salesman more credit.

    The first step to financial freedom is to learn to live within your means... reduce your expenses so that you have 10% of every paycheck as pure discretionary income... save/invest that 10% wisely and you will surprised how quickly you will achieve financial independence.

    Free trade agreement - discuss.

    I concur that my experience has been similar on many occasions and one of the primary reasons that I did not want to use a foreign maker, as I prefer to be able to show up at the door of the maker with a frown on my face and the goods in question and sort the problem out face to face. But times...

    Free trade agreement - discuss.

    Let me tell you about my experience with the Australian 'rag trade'(textile and clothing industry)... About 3 or 4 years ago, I was asked by a few friends in the military uniform supply trade to help design and win a tender for a uniform contract with the army. We decided early on that we were...

    Buy now!

    Sammy, If there is any chance of the USA becoming fiscally responsible, then we are going to need quite a few more shutdowns and walk-outs... we all know that Congress will eventually approve a budget and increase the debt ceiling... but this is a good wake-up call for the whole organisation...

    safety deposit boxes - why non bank?

    My view on PM's is that they are an alternate fiscal storage facility to a savings account, term certificates, stocks, and etc... nothing more and nothing less. So their worth is only the value of goods or services that I can get in exchange which is equal to the price of the currency of my...

    safety deposit boxes - why non bank?

    Absolutely agree... start looking around you... there plenty of cyclists riding a bike worth $10,000... the average amateur photographer will have $6000 hanging on his shoulders... the average business person has more than $5000 in their laptop, phone, etc... the tool bag of the average tradie...

    Auction bidders playing silly buggers

    This kind of behaviour is not limited to auctions, buyers are also rescinding on straight-out buys and trades. I had a very reputable SS trader and site sponsor pull a deal after the money was in my account and the goods were shipped because they had found the same round for sale somewhere else...
