Just like I predicted a few months ago.
The mother of all recessions is finally taking a second bite - and there is little you can do about it, unless you act quickly.
Sell your house, sell your family sell your children and buy physical silver.
That's my tip - you can thank Adolpy later.
Will be plenty of work in Greece as police , firemen , street cleaners and anti looting squads .
May not pay very well though!!!!!
In the flick of an eyelid, my dreams have evaporated.
How am I going to pay for all those Voice chairs that I bought in China? That f'ck off Massaratti that I saw on carsales.com.au for $40K is looking more and more like a distant dream.
I don't think I can cope driving a Nissan Stanza at 50. I may even have to pull my kids out of private schools!
I thought we were in a mining BOOM!
Just reading about the massive 32billion share slide/ selloff in the share gambling industry, for every seller a buyer looms to pounce, so is the reporting biased should it not be a massive buying spree by gambler/ investors. So is the cup half empty of half full, negativity and paranoia sells newspapers
Unrelated to the current slide, I asked my portfolio manager to liquidate my shares last week to put my family in a house surrounded by garden, but he said it'll take a week or two to happen.... How much will I lose? I should have just put my coin in the bank. Or silver. Or platinum.
Watched real estate programme selling houses Australia last night. A inner well to do suburb of Sydney has went down 43 percent from it's peak.
Las Vegas is down around 70 percent.
Going to be a lot of empty property,with owners just walking away. Better to go bankrupt than pay huge interest on a house that's worth a fraction of what you took the loan for.
uncensored has been calling this with timeline accuracy for years, but hey its all conspiracy right..?
If property values plummet I will be stoked.
People can't afford a house due to baby boomer greed and Govt policy helping them, plus mining boom, turning one of life's 3 essentials (shelter) into a money spinner.
An average house in Perth peaked at $500K not long ago, even a 3x1 in poor condition in a really sh!t suburb was $300K
That can't be sustained.
Those who complain the loudest are the ones in WA who bought at $250K and when their house was suddenly worth $500K a couple of years later they borrowed against it to buy 2 new 4WD's, a boat, and $40K of home entertainment gear to keep up with the Joneses. If they suddenly can't afford to keep it all - tough bikkies.
I remember the people boasting about how there property had just gained $40.000 in value now are selling at a complete loss.
Spare bedrooms in Gladstone are worth $200 to $300 per week.
If you have three of them it is a nice little earn for not much effort.
What?? You don't think real estate is a good investment???
Damn - I'll have to sell my white arse to the rich old girls in Toorak , Peppy Grove , The Rocks & Robina a bit earlier than I envisioned
Can see property prices continuing to drop in value by at least another 50 percent soon.
If the ptb create a deflationary GFC, then it's going to be more severe than an inflationary GFC.
Being a million dollars in debt in an inflationary GFC is actually not that bad. In a deflationary GFC, contracting of the money supply, money is much harder to come by, so paying back the mortgage would become near impossible.
Cash is king in a deflationary period.
And absolutely no debt.
As for silver/gold, have come to the conclusion the markets are rigged [plunge protection team],so while i believe the real value of silver is greater than $30 an ounce,believe they are going to pop this too.
