Hi qitulong, maybe its where I live but then I always have moved to where the work is as that is what intelligent people do.
There is still plenty of work here in Brisbane & from my recent travels around QLD it appears good all round.
High unemployment, are you not looking at official figures?
Most of the work appears to be for the common man, if anyone is struggling it's the high flyers, such as top heavy companies getting rid of overpaid underworked managers, but are keeping his/her underlings. |

| Mr. jaymarcel! You not serious really mate? I mean. Nobody believe that surely!? Here we see lot of economic damage already. Maybe you looking at wrong places. Do not you see now how high unemployment is. How few chance now is for people finding good jobs. Maybe rich in city are OK. But working man and womens they are suffering now. And no sign of things get any better any sooner mate. Please think about common people sometimes instead of writing such comment which seems only apply to few who are investor or have wealthy life. I am sad for the common man mostly here. They have no chances now like before the economy crashed last year or so. |

The stimulus measures have worked, we are the financial success of the developed world, do you even live on plant earth?
What part of it don't you get, we here in Australia didn't have a property crash, we didn't even go into recession.
The good time are back. |

Prayers can help!
Taking appropriate and prompt action in time of crisis does also.
Sadly, our government has clearly failed to do just that.
Though acting relatively promptly, they have failed to act appropriately.
Accordingly, the actions which have been taken have failed to achieve the result which was anticipated.
The stimulus neasures which were implemented have failed to result in the stimulation of a real and lasting economic recovery.
Prepare for the worst! |

Yes dear Guy! As I wrote on another BLOG just recently. The government does seem to be asleep at the wheel. Though they might possibly be simply away from their desks for a while praying for the recovery which they have been counting on occuring prior to the end of the stimulus measures they introduced to shore up the economy until such time as things got better.
Well! I am told that prayers do sometimes come true...
And there is certainly nothing wrong with praying! |

Hi Peter :)
Thanks for your comments regarding Mr PW :)
I am not too worried about his deliberate attempts to insult and denigrate me and you! IMO what he posts says far more about him and his personality (or lack thereof) with much greater veracity than anything he tries to lay at my feet with his fallacious rubbish.
So who cares what he says?
BYE :) |

| Looks like more bad news is coming ... specially for those who are seeking meaningful, long term employment. Why is it that the government is spending so much time and effort trying to make us all swallow the lie that the real recovery has been initiated? |

pwaldons - Judging by your confrontational and insulting posts below you might well be that same ex-employee I wrote of previously....
Has it not occured to you that life, (especially for those of us who must share space with you) would be so much more enjoyable if you simply behaved in a nicer manner and sought to be friends with people instead of make them dislike you?
Think how much more fun life would be :) |

Hi Peter :)
You may indeed be right however there is not much we can do about the whole situation except look to our own affairs and do the best we can. If or when the collapse occurs in the US and if the eastern powers are not able to take up the slack then it is going to be painful even for us here in Australia.
There is also the issue of portable energy shortages (oil) coming up so there will need to be a number of massive changes required to our energy infrastructure and use patterns.
Also and perhaps the worst will be the long term effects of an aging population which in some projections I have read could lead to a world wide severe drop in population and resultant fall in economic activity sometime around 2050.
Having said that I intend to make hay while the sun shines and keep an eye on developments as you never know human ingenuity could win the day yet.
BYE :) |

"...I behave like a moderator - yes this is probably a fair observation.... please don't expect other than this from me."
This your attempt with my posts to make it say what you want to read.
So in fairness here is my attempt with your posts -
"There's nothing quite like ethical standards a little humour and a few ideas to impose wonder on this forum members"
These are all words and phrases taken from you posts below out of context. So like you I can make you say almost anything I want too he he :)
Funny isn't it? |

I really wasn't addressing you Mr. Moderator. I was address someone named peter.addish, who by remarkable coincidence sounds very much like you. You really need to get your ids right when you're on these forums.
Here's one last insult for you for good measure. But only because you deserve it. You're a sanctimonious bloody fool and it would appear you have no one to call "friends" in your life except those sad liars who hang out here. Push away on the "report abuse" button now all you like. It wouldn't be the first time, and no doubt, will not be the last. |

I wasn't conversing with you but since you feel the need to join the conversation I am happy to admit I do not feel obliged to tolerate with good grace any deliberately rude an insulting behavior directed at anyone I am familiar with. Particularly when it was uncalled for such as the incident to which that that quote is referring.
Actually it is not a free forum - except that we don't have to pay directly for access to it we pay for it the same way as TV by being abliged to look at adds - take the time to have a good read of the terms and conditions of use to which you agreed before posting and you will see I am sure that you are in error when making that assumption.
In fact no one here as a matter of law is required to put up with or tolerate poor behavior, personal attacks or anything offensive in nature. The moderators and design of this forum have a number of built in measures to manage this very behavior as they are required to have by law.
You can carry on in the mistaken belief that anywhere in our society is free enough to allow poor and antisocial behavior to go unchecked if you like, but if you do sooner or later you will hit the wall! There is always a steep price to pay!

"If you don't like the place or the company, push off mate!"
And finally, just to remind a good mannered fellow like you, because I think you need reminding - this is a free forum. Accept my point of view or disagree with it, with equanimity or vehemence. Whatever. If you don't that, perhaps you ought to take your own excellent advice. |

"I used to have to work with" haha obviously you have never had the wherewithall to be self employed.
"poor mannered comments you have been making here." Another great big gufaw. You don't have the slightest comprehension of what the word "manners" mean. Not the foggiest. |

Hi firefly_au!
Thats the problem right now.
Everyone is ignoring the underlying fact that there is no way that current business conditions can support the economy and associated standard of living which we have all become so accustomed to.
People are simply ignoring the facts and proceeding without due caution.
The biggest economic disaster of all time will certainly occur. |

..(cont. from my last).....
And.. Just for the record, I have note yet seen any posts by either hdmausguy or firefly_au which are deserving of the type of insulting and poor mannered comments you have been making here.
Come to think of it. Your posts remind me of a fella I used to have to work with. Spent the whole time doing as little as he could while complaining about and critisising the contributions of others.
He ended up with no friends, no job and very lonely.
Think about it. |

Well, that's quite an admission. There's nothing quite like a self imposed moderator dictating traffic on an "open" forum using his own moral and ethical standards as the rulebook. No wonder this forum has so little humour, so few ideas and so few members. |

Hi Ausguy:)
Yes mate you can call me Goldielocks too for now anyway he he :) The only risk I see with all these under priced resource and Gold equities is the strength of the Ausy dollar is likely to put the brakes on gains with all of them. This includes all of the big ones as well like Rio, BHP, etc. Particularly if the RBA keeps rising interest rates and foreign capital keeps pouring in!
If you look you can see the effect this is having any company not actually producing commodities now the likes of LYC included. Interesting stuff though risky, as we need to be able to believe with some certainty the company blurbs and we can't IMO this is the problem CTO is having and why it has stalled.

Hello Again Arrow:)
I think most of the posts by those individuals/individual are a waste of space as they never offer anything but personal abuse of others. Opinion on any other subject is not a problem in my view. As for your assertion that I behave like a moderator - yes this is probably a fair observation. I always influence any environment or group of which I consider myself a member. Sometimes that influence is minimal sometime not! While I never intend to cause offence I sometimes will challenge outright rude and crass behaviour when I find it offensive! So please don't expect other than this from me.
Arrow dude I did not expect quite so much detail about your personal circumstances and investments and I will tell you now I am not playing with as much as you are but even I am well into the 5 figures in equities at the moment. What you have said is interesting but I would not have put personal and detailed stuff like that out into the public domain. I wish you luck it though and hope it all continues to go well for you.
BYE :) |

| fire- did you get on board the LGL train yesterday?All is positive with most goldies. Looks like our transformer troll has had enough ie an eagle to a gormley? One of my biggest concerns on these posts is the non answer that some posters don't give to the question of US debt,$12 trillion. It seems that they don't equate the differences between million,billion,trillion? Just pretend it's not there and it will go away? |

firefly,
You may well believe they (people you call "trolls") are a "waste of space" and "lower the tone" on threads called "Our Economy is Doomed" or "Economy Disaster Looms" or "The Worst Is Yet To Come". You may also believe they reduce the value of the whole forum by criticising posts that give contradictory information. That is your prerogative. As it happens, I don't agree with you. Tell me though, why is it that when I read your posts, I get the impression you consider yourself a moderator? Is it me or is it you?
As to my investments, as you know, the past few weeks have been a little difficult, particularly in light of the sterling peformance of (at least part of) my share portfolio over the past five or so months. Many of my shares were purchased in October of last year so I've been playing catch up, and unfortunately I sold out of the banks just when I broke even so haven't participated in their fantastic raise over the past three months. Having said that, I at least collected a sterling dividend. As luck would have it, the company that has performed best for me (oil search), up exactly 103% since I purchased, is the company in which I invested the least amount of money. All in all though, the value of my entire portfolio is up by about 12% (excluding dividends) over the past year, and I suppose that is, given the state of the economy, and the fact that I have nearly 1M invested, a pretty solid return. I know others may have done better, but I'm happy with what I've achieved. |

Hi Arrow :)
Dude it is really easy to spot the troll! I cant understand your problem with identifying them....
It will be an ID never seen before presumably created on the spot to post abuse. (check the dates on the ID) They have never contributed to the blog and probably never will but have the hide to criticize others by usually taking parts of the posters conversation with someone else out of context.
They never have anything useful to add to the conversation and they always take postings by others out of context in a negative attempt to denigrate another poster. When challenged about this they cant take the heat or justify their attitude in any way!
So really it is not hard.....
Oh and yes as of today this has been a very good year for my investments Thanks :) How are yours doing?
I have to disagree with the assertion of the Don Chip scenario as I believe they are generally just a waste of space and lower the tone of any blog they visit. In the end it reduces the value of the whole forum.
BYE :) |

Hi Ang,
No sorry ang you misunderstand me, they have a problem with the whole concept of life & the system we live in.
If your born in a little country town where there is no work but you want a job then rather than claiming there is no work the better option would be to move to where there is work, not wait for the work to come to you.
A more factual case is a family that live up the road from me, they are in their 50's with their 25 year old son living with them, none of them work, yet they manage to pay someone to clean the house for them & they spend majority of their time at Bribie Island fishing.
Now these are two completely different situations but it is our system that has created them, I have nothing against genuine unemployed going through a hard time. |
