  • Natural Gas: Ride U-Turn Up [View article]
    It's basically a competition to see what is more worthless, the US dollar or Natural Gas.

    Not much to cheer about IMO.

    I would like to add an exert from businessspectator....

    Boston Consulting Group has conducted a survey with both good and bad news for newspaper proprietors. The good news is that a surprisingly large number of consumers would be willing to pay for online news. The bad news is in the amounts they are willing to pay.

    BCG found that the percentage of people willing to pay varied from just under 50 per cent in markets like Australia, the UK and US, to 66 per cent in Finland and 63 per cent in Germany. Unhappily (for the proprietors) the amounts they were willing to pay averaged about $US5 a month.

    In Australia and the US it was, on average $US3 a month and in the UK $US4 a month, although the most people in those countries were prepared to pay was $US9 a month. Perhaps surprisingly, Italians were prepared to pay the most, at $US7 a month, with an upper limit of $US16 a month.

    Interestingly, and perhaps (for proprietors and shareholders) disturbingly, while the proportion of people who said they were prepared to pay to access online news might be surprisingly high, the proportion of those paying for online news today is quite small. In Australia it is 13 per cent, in the US 15 per cent and in the UK 12 per cent. It would take effort and time to convert the willing into the paying.

    As BCG concluded, while it is perhaps encouraging that consumers are actually prepared to pay anything in a world where most of the online content produced by newspaper groups has always been free, those amounts aren’t sufficient to fundamentally shift the economics of newspapers.

  • Australia: What Recession? [View article]

    Yes we are blessed here, "down under". If there was anything to worry about in Australia it's the increasing number of boat people trying to come here illegally, we are now paying them to not come!

    So please do not come here people, we are rude, arrogant, and do not speak English.

    The weather is terrible, it gets well below freezing on most days, it never stops raining or snowing.

    We have 11 of the top ten most dangerous animals in the world including the brown snake, funnel web spider and box jelly fish, did i mention sharks?, we have millions of them.

    Crocodiles live in our back yard ponds, so your children are not safe.

    Nearly everyone is on drugs, and permanently drunk, basically you would not like it here at all.

    Ok, who am i kidding here!

    Very fine artcle.

  • Is This the Beginning of a New Secular Bull Market? [View article]
    I would think throwing caution to the wind at these lofty levels could well be dangerous, I agree the feds "on hold" policy is blowing Gail force winds of liquidity into the sails of the equity markets.

  • Should the Federal Reserve Be Doing More? [View article]
    I'm not sure you would want to stimulate the economy any further, we are already riding a wave of delusion as is.

    Unless you want the US dollar to become a nickel, i would suggest wait and see the best policy.

  • Rupert Murdoch: Stupid Like a Fox? [View article]
    Murdoch is a fool, an old fool at that. He goes around overpaying for online assets (myspace WSJ), then bemoans he can't make money off them.

    Now he's telling anyone who will listen, and forcing those who wont, that he's going to pull out of Google, and basically threatening them!

    Who in there right mind would go out of their way to pay to read Murdoch propaganda? Seriously, ROFL.
