    ANZ lifts interest rates

    Lowered their fixed rates though - I am now in the process of fixing some of my loans with them for either 5.84% or 5.69% for 3 years pending outcome of my employers deal with them. Either way I'll pull the trigger as I can't see it getting to much better (i.e. fixed rates in the worrst of the...

    The loss of Australian affluence

    Got to love it mate. I know I love the latest socialist raping Labor are trying to get going in the health sector. Earn enough and get nil private health insurance rebate despite being penalised harshly (1.5% Medicare surcharge) if you don't take up private health cover. Medicare universal...

    Treasure hunters must return $500m haul

    I thinks it's BS the government claiming it or even descendants. After 200+ years I think the eminent law of finders keepers should be the call - especially given it was likely looted from South America in the 1st place.

    Smarter people own shares, study finds

    Probably true - it's something people with intelligence can use said intelligence to think about, analyse, predict and otherwise occupy their minds when bored. Not sure if all the pondering enhances investment results but it keeps people amused. I'll offer up an anecdote on gambling that I...
