    Turo - 150 / 50 Florsheim - 175 / 30 Pelago - 100 / 15 Pelago seem to be serial offerers (if there is such a word)!

    China is one of the biggest holders of US Treasuries. If they stopped buying them life could get even more interesting (pun intended). I don't know what the alternative destination for those funds would be though as China doesn't want the CNY to go up.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    Super funds (like managed funds) are priced forward - you get the price after your request is received, not at the time it is received (which is a historical price) so if you request to switch today it will take place after the price for today is calculated which will be after markets close...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Cyclone Donald still over Wall Street - another 5-6% decline overnight. China not helping by having the temerity to implement 'countermeasures' of 34% tariff on US goods and restricting rare earths (to everyone not just US). Unless sanity is restored over the weekend I feel confident to...

    A colleague in the UK has told me that Amex have just released a £300 / £75 IHG offer there. Perhaps there is hope an offer will soon come out here.

    Absolute carnage on US markets overnight so a vote of confidence on America becoming rich again. Is now the time to buy? Just been reading a few reports - consensus is we are firmly in bear market territory now, especially the Nasdaq.

    I hope Trump has not excluded the Moon and Mars - that would be a huge omission.

    That's the problem - is this just a dip or the beginning of a long, probably slow, correction?

    ASX not keen on Trumponomics - market down around 2%. Australia getting no discount with a 10% tariff. If we increase tariffs to 20% then do we get the Trump 50% discount? Asian markets will be a bloodbath with most countries getting very high tariffs. Japan - 24%, Taiwan - 32%, Vietnam - 46%...
