Hi guys,
We all know that something is only worth what someone else will pay for it.

So your precious money is worth what exactly???

The significance of that link isn't so much about it's contents, although that is significant in the light of the fact that Larry Kudlow is to be made the chief financial adviser in the Trump administration. Larry Kudlow has a wonderful track record of being wrong on just about everything financial.

It's you who should think about it.

Just picture a property investor in Australia with say 90% debt, a string of properties and a rising interest bill..

Oh dear tick tock...

You have a vivid imagination don't ya - always imagining other people having a tough time. Reality is that all the people who have big loans have bought into a boom and their 10% deposit rapidly turned to 20-40% equity.

In the downturned cities hardly anyone is buying and less still are taking on big loans.

It is a doomster fantasy that people are highly leveraged - the facts show that Australians are paying less of their salaries on interest payments that they have a decade ago. There was no crash a decade ago when people were much more leveraged, why would there be a crash now?

Dump the doomsters Peter before they cost ya big time
Definition of a doom and gloomer from 1993
The last camp is made up of the doom-and-gloomers. Their slogan is "it's the end of the world as we know it". Right now they are convinced that debt is the evil responsible for all our economic woes and must be eliminated at all cost. Many doom-and-gloomers believe that unprecedented debt levels mean that we are on the precipice of a worse crisis than the Great Depression. The doom-and-gloomers hang on the latest series of negative economic data.

I really don't think that is what he is saying, nor the article..

1 - the article is talking about USA

2 - It's talking about debt issuance by the Gov for longer periods (up to 100 years)

Think about it.. if I issued a debt for 100 years at 1%... and rates rise... who is the winner ? Me, or the sucker who I owe the money to and have to pay them only 1% interest ?

Shadow - Defrauded his Bank ? 2015 I have 9 different loans and my bank had no idea which ones were personal and which were investment. They had half of them classed incorrectly. When this change came in they asked me to tell them if any personal loans were incorrectly classed as investment, which I did, and they switched them to personal for the lower rate. They also had a couple of investment loans incorrectly classed as personal. They didn't ask me about those. So they stay on the lower rate too. Worked out pretty well. :)
Shadow - 2008 Sydney Median House Price 1.25M by 2014-2015

Shadow : I think this boom has already begun in several cities. My prediction :
Peak of boom: 2014-2015. Sydney Median Price: $1,250,000 Bottom of bust: 2017-2018. Sydney Median Price: $1,100,000

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
