Very topical at this time isn't it!
Then again, always is.
Should be a hit.

Regards, Rob.

Mark,

that should be a cracker.

I'm currently awaiting my copy of "The Creature from Jekyll Island" that you recommended some time back. The book seems to be either out of print or $100+ for the copies you can get. However, I did manage to get a 2nd hand paperback copy from somewhere in Texas which is one it's way by Pony Express as we speak. Can't wait :thumbsup:

Well I must say that I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts about the book. I still haven't picked it back up, but I will soon; it's so damn...I dunno...confrontational.

The beauty for you, is that you're not going to be reading it in a nice stable economy where the book may feel a bit like a murder mystery novel; like me, you're actually going to be reading it knowing full-well that everything in the news is exactly what he predicted would happen, and is currently being played out in real-time...it's like reading a Nostradamus prophecy while is actually unfolding in the real world, surreal.

The reason it's difficult to get a copy is simple; everyone wants one! It's fast becoming a survival handbook for today and the future...x-ray glasses for seeing through the BS.

Anyway, hope that you receive it soon.

Oh, just noticed that you're a property investor...have you noticed a decline in property sales over the past 3 weeks???...Rudd's Super Profit Tax may trigger the bursting of this real estate bubble prematurely.

Hi Mark,

yes I have noticed the differences you speak of, plus a fall off in auction clearances. It may be to do with the Rudd SP tax, who can say for sure. With the property investing though, I'm in it for the long haul (at least that has always been the plan from day one!), and we've been doing it for a few years now.

As always, there are great arguments 'for' and 'against' prices continuing to rise. I prefer to rely on the generally reliable, empirically demonstrated results. But, as with everything important in life, I hope for the best, expect the worst - and take what comes. It's all we can do ;)

All the best :thumbsup:

SP tax scare mongering, I thought that most of these mining companies TR is only 17% anyhow.

They are stripping our land bare, making huge profits anyhow so if mining does slow down so be it IMO
