You need to work on your bedside manner dude. Calling someone ignorant is not going to help them see your point of view. Why bother to post such an arrogant and aggressive post? Unless you have the IQ of a fish, then you must have known your post ...

Reasons to Believe 'Sell in May' Might Turn to Buying

Slowing economy seen as Australia's biggest threat

Moody's has warned the Australia state government that its credit ratings face growing negative pressure. Australia still enjoys a triple A rating. Well, if its not a typo, they are talking about Queensland, a state in Australia. There is no such ...

Moody's warns Australia on credit ratings

Its bad to rip people off for more when you are already making billions of profit. To put the rates up ALWAYS and promptly when they are increased by the reserve bank, and only reduce them sometimes and with delay, when the reserve cuts the official ...

Australian Banks take 10 days to pass on rate cuts, seven days to pass on rate rises

Australia has to be the most happy country, why? It is the only country that lets you go on the dole until the end of time, and it is enough to live on. The USA and Euro/Asia etc, have a time limit then its welfare if your lucky and is generally not ...

World's Happiest Countries

Seriously. Give it up on pooing the carbon tax. Its getting old. Something has to be done to give incentive for cleaner fuels or your children and grandchildren are going to suffer a planet that is stuffed from global warming: or don't you care ...

Australian budget set to return to surplus this year

A surplus is actually just a ploy. If someone thought their best financial position was served by them having a surplus (never going into debt) they would never get a loan to buy a house which is where most personal wealth is generated. A country is ...

Greek finance minister says participation in the Euro cannot depend on a Referendum

krisware, I like your term "disappear exponentially". That is what must happen if we desire exponential growth within finite resources. There is no way around it. Really, stagnation is what the world should aspire to. It will give us time to find ...

World is heading for 'Great Stagnation', says Goldman

Does merely the threat of saying the SNB will keep the frank at these levels mean it would not have to do that much. What I mean is, Who would bother trading heavily the CHF now? Surly the CHF is being left alone... so it can just carry on its flat ...

SNB's franc cap at right level for now: Swiss finance minister

Is there a + swap with these pairs? If the SNB is going to hold it at 1.20... could one just open a huge position and collect the swap?

Swiss franc plunges 10 pct vs euro on SNB shocker

Debt crisis: Is this the end for the euro?
