Market down 6%. CBA down over 8% which is $13! Anyone buying?

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...

Even the weakish pound went up 3% v AUD yesterday and the UK economy is in much worse state than Australia.

Canada in April - +1 has a conference in Toronto and we will build out a trip from there. Philippines in July / August.

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...

If there is still room then I am platinum.

No Lux Escapes, Qantas offers for me - Amex are ghosting me! 😩

I sort of expected this thread to be called '296 Things Qantas Could Do Better'.
