Funny thing is I'm an engineer, so I don't know squat about Quantitative Easing, but I DO know, that its going to lead to cheaper loot from the USA, so I'm all in favor of it now!

If the interest rates do rise Ashley it will be good for the foreign investors and the Dollar...Not so good for the Aussies with already high home loans!

Will you be taking a punt on the cup??

Because of the CPI data that came out yesterday, it now looks like an interest-rate hike isn't going to happen in November. That's the reason.

Cheers,

That's true, definitely some people struggling.

Na, I don't ever gamble, used to have some minor involvement in the operating of online gaming websites and the sickness I saw in the patrons turned me off for life.

Hi Rob,

Janet and I have lunch at The Barn, Mclaren Vale every Melbourne Cup day.
Only bet I have during the year.
I'll put $10 for a place on the third favourite for you.
