Ten centres tipped for property boom
Monday October 26, 2009, 4:09 pm
Ten key regional centres in Australia are positioned to experience booming property prices as the economy recovers, a real estate researcher says.
Real estate forecaster Terry Ryder has tipped the Western Australian resource boom towns of Port Hedland and Karratha to again grow strongly while agriculture and tourism are tipped to benefit Orange in NSW and north west of that state.
In his "National top 10 Boom Town Hotspots" report Mr Ryder recommends investing in the cities of Bunbury in WA and Newcastle in New South Wales.
The remaining eight towns to make it into the list include Ceduna in South Australia, Gladstone in Queensland, Geraldton, Port Hedland and Karratha in WA, Portland in Victoria, Orange and the north-west of NSW.
Mr Ryder also warned investors to shy away from buying in "pure mining towns".
He said investors could benefit from Australia's new wave of mining by focusing on strategically located regional centres that were set to benefit from major new projects.
"While investors who get in early can make big capital gains, most mining towns exist in a bubble, which can burst if demand for resources drops, the local mine closes or housing demand falls away after construction of a major project is completed," Mr Ryder said in a statement.
Mr Ryder is the director of the property website www.hotspotting.com.au.

I think we are supposed to be impressed by the previous posters 'intelligence'!!!
Then his/her lack of experience and youth, screams a brainwashing message at the end the end of the post which pretty much clarifies their insecure position and the belief that the 'super power china' is out to get everyone!!!!!
Well considering that a huge amount of them have already migrated to various parts of the world and also that another huge amount of the world population is 'part' chinese,I cant see that the chinese are very interested in world domination.
leave those attempts to the white nations who have a tendentcy to that type of madness,because its pretty much been proved over and over that it doesnt work and one of the signs of madness is to keep doing the same thing over and over again with no lasting result.

Economy on recovery path, index shows
Wednesday October 21, 2009, 3:50 pm
The Australian economy is on the road to recovery with a leading economic indicator posting its first positive reading in nearly a year.
The annualised growth rate of the Westpac-Melbourne Institute leading index of economic activity, which indicates the likely pace of activity three to nine months into the future, was 1.7 per cent in August.
It was the first positive reading for the index since September 2008.

wealthforusall; China's centralized economy was based on exports which have dropped 35% this year against last year. Growth figures are only coming from the amount of foriegn investment and the stimulous money China is pouring back into the economy. Tax income has been dropping which means China will eventually run out of money.
The super cars sales we see are due to taxes being cut by 50% for sales of mini trucks and vans (below 1.6lt)in country areas along with other subsities being offered. China has a dozens of small car companies and a lot of the stimulus is directed at keeping them afloat. Even though domestic sale figures are going up tax income is not.
As we are reliant on exports to Asia, China is also reliant on world sales which are dropping as more countries cut imports and are forced to cut back on stimulus packages through tax losses. To look at China's domestic economy and say they are doing great so we can expect to as well, is very short sighted.
As to the end of the global reccesion coming before China runs out of money the information needed to predict this is far from clear and dependant on many varriables. Just jumping on positive or negative news without putting it in perspective causes wild speculations and the extreme polarisation shown in many of the posts. Nothing as yet shows a positive recovery or on coming collapse for the Australia economy and may not for a year or two. |

I see the nutters have finally pushed themselves over the edge!
Not realizing in their ignorance that a tactic that works for some, definitely backfires for them.
I'd say from the looks of things ,they have buried them selves in it up to their eyeballs!
Im waiting for the inevitable fireworks for when the train has well and truly run off the tracks!
Although with the flood waters rising the way they are i'm guessing it will come to a slow grinding standstill and remain buried in the mud!

SO MUCH POSITIVE NEWS...
Asia Drives Australia
Monday October 19, 2009, 11:58 pm
More than anyone, the Reserve Bank has understood the importance of Asia's growth for the Australian economy.
And its importance to come when Asia's growth will drive the Australian economy, possibly forcing is to adjust in ways we haven't seen yet as the Australian dollar trades at very high levels compared with its long term post float value of 72US cents.
It is one of the factors that has made the bank and Governor Glenn Stevens, appear much more optimistic about the country, the economy and its outlook, especially since the financial crisis erupted more than two years ago and the great recession rolled across the global economy, but stopped short of Australia and a group of emerging economies.
Mr Stevens referred to the issue again in a speech last week; Asia forms a big part of the research and back channel liaison between RBA staffers and Australian business; Mandarin speaking economists and analysts have been employed to examine the flood of data from China and the rest of the region.
And this belief has been back up by the strong performance of the Australian economy, especially resource exports, since the crisis started, and the world plunged into deep recession a year ago, dragging global trade to its biggest fall since World War 2.
"Importantly for Australia, this shift has much further to run and is likely to have a profound effect on our medium-term prospects and the structure of our economy," said RBA assistant governor Philip Lowe said in Sydney yesterday.
He stressed that Australia's economic prospects are more closely aligned with Asia's - led by China - "than has been the case ever before."
"There are reasonable grounds for optimism about the prospects for the Australian economy over the decade ahead," Dr Lowe told a Sydney investment conference yesterday.
He said Australia's population would continue growing strongly... |

SOME tasty tidbits;

BHP Confident On China
Thursday October 22, 2009, 8:01 am
Last month China imported a record 64.5 million tonnes of iron ore, much higher than anyone had expected, as car production topped a million units again for a seventh month in September.
A week ago Rio Tinto lifted its targeted 2009 iron ore production by between 5% and 7.5% to a maximum of 215 million tonnes.
Yesterday BHP Billiton revealed solid September quarter (the first of the 2009-10 financial year) with record iron ore production and more importantly, a big rise in output from Australia.

How about this good news......
Tassie leads economy>
TASMANIA has emerged from the global financial meltdown as Australia's economic leader.
New data released yesterday shows Tasmania's economy remained relatively stable in the wake of global jitters to lead the nation in terms of unemployment, population growth and the start of new housing builds.
It was also near the top of the leader-board across the other key indicators: retail spending, economic growth, business investment, construction work done, housing finance.
CommSec Economics' State of the States economic rankings for October placed Tasmania at the top and NSW at the bottom.
The State Government is sure to seize on the data as part of its election campaign.
Commsec compares economic performance against a decade average and it is important to remember Tasmania's dismal financial performance in the late 1990s when celebrating the numbers.

Wow that blog thats bodes disaster for all and sundry sure has a bunch of whackos posting on it.
One of them actually is promoting his use of a 'magic crystal' for determining the best shares to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The mind boggles!
What other decisions does he rely on his 'crystal'
to influence?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A prime example of an individual admiting he has no real talent or grey matter with which to guide it.
I suppose we could be grateful that he realizes a need for 'something' to guide his every financial decision.!

There is four or more kinds of personality that lend to starting business wealthforusall. You have the street smart who often accidently start a business like the the guy who was rejected for a local council job because he could not read and became a major fruit and vegy supplier in Australia after accidentaly finding out he could sell oranges in the pub on the way home.
You have the users; who are very skilled at using other people brains but can't think for themselves so never worry about borrowing. They often supply the capital and use other peoples skills to start a business.
Then you have people who just grow into a business out of doing work that they love doing and the natural trader who just loves trading and can't stop themselves from becoming business owners.
Some are clever, many just lucky in that they employ some one clever to manage things for them.
Clever people tend to learn early that they can just coast through life and become too lazy to start businesses or decide they are not willing to put in the required time, effort it would require to start a business. And again you are right clever people who do start businesses will sell for a good profit and invest in some thing else if they get a good profit. I don't agree however with the statement "then isnt it the clever people who create the business in the first place." Not always would have to be the reply. |

HA HA!
You may have a point,but then isnt it the clever people who create the business in the first place.
Sometimes these clever people get bored with maintaining their creation or they sell it on for an early profit to someone who is not so clever and doesnt know how to run the business as well so they employ a boss who is even less clever because they want to save profits for themselves rather than invest in wages.
Theres only one way around it and that is to start your own business if you are clever enough to save yourself any frustration and try and stay with it,but people being what they are, clever or otherwise will sell if they can make a healthy profit and then invest in something else more lucrative or satisfying.And so it carries on....

AUSTRALIA MUST HAVE LOTS OF CLEVER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
Cleverness thrives in response to real-world challenges with real-world constraints. This is exemplified by the careers of the world-renowned consulting engineers Ove Arup & Partners. They responded to the peculiarities of their assignments by producing the Beijing cube swimming pool and the Sydney Opera House.
It is sometimes suggested that people can be energized to achieve goals by leaders encouraging them that everything is possible. That kind of optimism often doesn't work with clever people. They seem to prefer the reverse. Tell them something isn't possible and they'll be highly motivated to prove you wrong. The world needs them to be right.
Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones are the co-authors of Clever: Leading Your Smartest, Most Creative People. Rob Goffee is a professor of org *** ational behavior at London Business School. Gareth Jones is a fellow of the Centre for Management Development at London Business School and a visiting professor at INSEAD.

HOW WILL WE KNOW THEM?!!!!!!!!
We know, being clever carries connotations of being ostentatiously smart and difficult. We prefer the English meaning, being skilled and talented, with the understanding that being smart usually comes with a few rough edges. The truth is that these people are both talented and difficult.
Why must they be difficult? Because they all share these qualities:
-They know their worth (their skills are not easily replicated).
-They ask difficult questions.
-They are org *** ationally savvy.
-They are not impressed by corporate hierarchy.
-They expect instant access to decision makers.
-They are well connected outside of their org *** ations.
-Their passion is for what they do, not for who they work for.
-Even if you lead them well, they won't thank you.
How do you spot the clevers who really make a positive difference? In recent years org *** ations have been obsessed with identifying talent. Most large org *** ations have singled out what are often called "talent pools" and "high potentials." We would sound a note of caution: Look more for past outcomes than for potential. Clever people develop track records of org *** ational success.
Once you have identified them, how do you lead them? The conventional wisdom is that you should act as a benevolent guardian. Explain rather than tell, give space and resources, provide recognition, protect from org *** ational noise, connect with other clevers and so on. This may be necessary, but it is insufficient.
In the clever org *** ation, benevolence is balanced with discipline. Clever people are most productive when they're given boundaries. As much as they need autonomy, they also need structure. Creating the right sort of space-large enough to allow clevers to express themselves, but also with systems and structures to help them focus their efforts-is vital. One without the other is dangerous and ultimately unproductive.

CONT'D FROM PREV POST;
How do we identify such people? The first and most obvious point to make is that they are not simply those with the highest IQs or most impressive academic qualifications (although many of them do meet those standards). Our conversations and observations have led us to develop a simple definition: Clever people are highly talented individuals who have the potential to create disproportionate amounts of value from the resources that an org *** ation makes available to them.
When we first set out to research these smart and powerful, yet often recalcitrant clever people, we thought they would be consultants, lawyers, investment bankers, research-and-development wizards and other similar smart professionals. Many of them were, but we also found value-creating brilliance in a huge variety of places-in schools, in hospitals, in fast-moving consumer-goods businesses, in breweries and not just in those institutions' R&D departments. Clever people can be schoolteachers, university and hospital administrators, museum curators. But as disparate as they are, they are all capable of creating huge amounts of value for org *** ations.
Many highly talented individuals are capable of producing remarkable results on their own, outside of any org *** ation. Such standalone clever people include most famous artists and solo musicians. But those aren't the people we're talking about. We specifically mean talented individuals who need an org *** ation to achieve their full potential. The brilliant engineers at Cisco need the org *** ation and their colleagues as they seek to revolutionize the way we work, learn and play.

DISASTER WILL NEVER LOOM BECAUSE there are too many clever people around to to stop it!!!!!!!!
................
The odd clever people every org ani* sation needsROB GOFFEE AND GARETH JONES, FORBES.COM
August 18, 2009
As we ponder how the Western economies can navigate their way out of the recession, we might easily make the harsh judgment that clever people got us into it and we'll need clever people to get us out of it. The investment banks at the heart of the current financial malaise were full of clever people. So what went wrong? Is it possible we didn't really understand how to lead them?
The truth is that org ani sations need a particular kind of clever employee-people with a propensity for innovation and even iconoclasm. People who happily tread on org ani ational sacred ground while seeking new ways to produce sustained economic growth. They can add disproportionate amounts of value, and they become more productive when they are well led. They are people like Will Wright of Electronic Arts, the originator of 'Sim City' and 'Spore'. They need teams that have their own high-octane dynamics. To develop such teams, businesses must become clever org ani ations, magnets for these people who can sustain innovation over long periods.

Alittle green eyed monstor just appeared on this blog.
Or is it a case of the well known 'tall poppy syndrome' so prevelant in Australia.
You forgot to say 'money is a dirty word'.
Ambition takes many forms and is often born in the bowels of poverty.
Ever wondered why?
Maybe if you'd ever been 'poor' moneywise you'd have a better understanding of what drives anyone towards any kind of success.
Some people have dreams because its all they can afford to have until they are in a situation to turn their dreams into reality.
Why didnt you just advise every reader to stop dreaming of a better life and to get into the habit of what you do which is SOO fulfilling.
ie Drowning in your own lack of success and advising the populace that anyone who is rich must be selfish and evil.get a life and do something constructive with it.
eg if I told you I could turn you into a millionaire in 1 year with very little monetary outlay,I wonder if you would say 'No Thanks'
?
