CPI at 1.0% for the quarter to March 31st makes CPI 3.6% on an annual basis. Of course nothing we buy has gone up by that small amount. Now WAR has struggled to $1.13 so they are still 12 cents short of breakeven. Had a slew of quarterly taxes to pay.

We are unsure about our CPI dropping as the price of oil is not going down and all of our State Governments seem to be raising their charges.We need to match wage increases with productivity gains but that has not been happening. We parked some funds in bank hybrids so that was CBAPM,NABPH,WBCPL...

We used to stay at either Embassy Suites North, Marriott West Century or Hilton West Century. My family preferred Embassy Suites North.

Yes the fast food places are now at $20 but there seems to be large holes in the payments for staff who are not properly documented. Not sure how that works. The housing rentals near Los Angeles are high.

I was shocked to read that Hyatt on West Century were holding out on doing a pay increase a couple of months ago. I think the wage rates around LAX are close to slavery. In Australia we don’t do this to our workers.

Had an update from OPH today so I am happy there.We recently bought OPH under $2.50 with their net asset value in the $2.90 to $3.00 range depending on the day. Elders recovered quite a bit today without any explanation. Looks like interest rates falling will be held up by residential real...

Try Computershare Canada if you would like more issues….Two years of frustration so far. Yesterday we had APM and Elders both tank so it was nice to be flying and not watching the markets.

We have been in Adelaide for Fringe,Womad and Gather and the large crowds around Rundle Mall area certainly looked like they were having a good time. I do hope this continues.

The game out at Mt Barker was very much worth the visit. I hope the Gather Round has been a roaring success as we loved it.

Port Power are really playing well. The Gather Round is a real success for Adelaide.

Last night was pretty cool with a breeze that increased the chill factor. The Demons outplayed the Crows.

What day/night are you thinking for Gauchos?

Yes the $Aud has sunk below 65 cents today. With the minimum pay rates for restaurant workers in California now at $20 this month prices are rising.
