One would hope it doesn't get that bad here. Although it doesn't make any difference here in Oz if you are as old as me, no one will give you a job anyway.

I also hope it doesn't get that bad here but i think it will still rise for about 6 months yet.
The other caution i have is that i am not sure we went "low" enough in the recent economical downturn so we might yet have a second bite at that one in the next 2 years.
Sorry but that's just my thoughts.
Cheers
No I think you will find we just missed it. We will stay flat for a year or so but thats about it. My worry is the $ US. The Chinese, Japanese and Opec want to link International trade to a basket of currencies plus gold, and drop the domination of the Yanky Buck. If they do that the US will take a bath and that might cause a chill wind our way.
Like i always tell everyone what you read in this or any forum is someone's opinion - which is always right - to them.Quote:

Not a good look at all.
I wonder how many will see this as Obama's fault,

Then sir, perhaps your view of what I wrote is just that. I did not imply an incorrect view, I did not emphasise "NO " I implied I had a different slant on that. The no was like a pause as I mulled over the previous post and created a response. So then your view was just what you believed, not what was actually intended. As such you are accusing me of the very action you are doing.

I tend to agree with you. I see China is back on track with 8% growth and theres a general expectation of the world pulling out of this current spot sooner than later.
Given our ability to supply raw materials to the world, we are in many respects in a enviable position. We have weathered the storm very well all things considered.
this is emphatic.Quote:
No! I think you will find we just missed it......
No I think.... is general conversation, with no emphasis implied.
We usually go to Michigan for the Black Friday sales each year - normally we'd be somewhere in North Western Ohio by this time on our way to our hotel opposite the factory stores in Howell - and the downturn we've seen from 2006 to 2007 and then 2008 was scary. I can only imagine what it's like there this year. Things aren't nearly as bad here in Ontario and when I was home in Jan-Feb things seemed a lot better than it was round here. So thank your lucky stars the idiots on Wall St didn't burn it all down or Oz could have wound up like Iceland!
