This is the original thread where Macrobusiness used APF to initially launch their MacroInvestor newsletter (a bit cheeky of them really)...

I just had a squizz around the MB site and found this little gem.


https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2017/05/great-china-crash-upon-us/#comments

So when "it" arrives, this MB Fund will be going gangbusters.

What is "it"?

'It" is the great Chinese hard landing story.

"It" will result in the "Australian Great Reset Event". Something like the Great War maybe?

Chicken Little says yes.

Can anyone else see the snake oil psychology in this "it" sales pitch?

I must jump back in at a later date to see how this new MB Fund performs post launch and post "It".



Does anyone know how this new fund is performing, especially given that the Chinese hard landing is yet to unfold?


BEIJING, Sept 14 (Reuters) - China’s real estate investment growth picked up pace again in August as demand held up despite various government curbs, unlike factory output, fixed asset investment and retail sales which fell short of expectations.

A resilient property market will be good news for China’s policymakers, who want to keep the real estate market stable ahead of a once-in-five-years Communist Party congress in October.

Real estate investment, which directly affects 40 other business sectors in China, is considered a crucial driver for the economy.

The MB fund shorts the Aussie dollar pretty hard - lots of investment in overseas assets etc. MB had a target of 50c for the AUD as far as I remember. Things are definitely not going their way. The fund must be deeply in the red already. Not surprising really, their MacroInvestor funds suffered the same fate a few years ago. Macrobusiness are pretty clueless when it comes to financial and economic matters, but they tell the bears what they want to hear, so the daft bears will be happy to keep paying fees to MB for the privilege of watching their savings evaporate. People like Veritas and Chris fall hook line and sinker for these sort of scams every time. Only a fool would entrust their financial future to a pair of bloggers who have been pretty much wrong about everything for years.

I don't think that is the case now, they have called in someone with some knowledge - apparently.
I haven't taken much notice of what they are investing in.

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. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.

No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
