You mention positive movements in coal prices. Here is an update (looking good) on a link I copied which you previously supplied. I've had trouble finding any other sources for info on coal prices. Iron ore obviously grabs the limelight presently. Do you have any other…[Read more]

It has been published as debate is occurring in Gladstone over the impacts of dredging there. I've attached an article concerning this from the Gladstone…[Read more]

You've already gained a year on your portfolio goals! It's good to see your enthusiasm showing so clearly, mate. At the moment I can't define my goals so clearly, although I know I am very motivated to increase my property portfolio and ensure the financial…[Read more]

Very interesting analysis of the demand for coal. Funny how they mention the increased use of gas in the U.S. ends up creating a higher demand for coal. Go figure! The second article mentions plans for expansion of western ports in the U.S. to increase exports of coal. Those hoped for expansions are intended to take place in the states…[Read more]

Somebody better start digging dams, or a water war is on the horizon. And the following article probably should go on a thread for the Hunter Valley, but I'll post it here, as it shows that the demand for…[Read more]

I agree completely with you. Every time I hear similar comments from banks (rates should be lowered to stimulate the economy) I see the hypocrite behind the comment. They intend to profit from each rate drop by not passing it on in full. In the article which you posted a link to, the omission of a commitment to pass on future rate cuts in…[Read more]
