thursday 1 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I really hate the way Rudd brown noses the Chinese (whichever) ministers at the Gxx meetings and any other ecconomic forums held regularly. Have you noticed how he follows the Chinese guys around. Creepy. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes we have! We also have nicknamed him Kevin747 for his penchant for travelling abroad (and his Kevin07 election campaign). Talks the talk, but has yet to walk the walk. And is running out of time.

NoFakie 45 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 He's still a lot better than "Crash Gordon". He didn't sell your gold reserves at the market bottom for starters. Talk's cheap for politicians, but Mr. Rudd makes quite of a bit of economic sense here. http://www.smh.com.au/national/pain-on-the-road-to-recovery-20090724-dw6q.html?page=-1 (three Evony's on the page.

Have you noticed how he follows the Chinese guys around. Creepy. K rudd is not just brown-nosing the Chinese. At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, Kevin Rudd turned to the Queen and said: As I'm the Prime Minister, I'm thinking of changing how my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom." The Queen replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Rudd, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge - and you're not a King." Kevin Rudd thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality then?" To which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr. Rudd." Rudd thought long and hard and came up with "How about an Empire then?" The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied : "Sorry again, Mr. Rudd, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you are not an Emperor." Before Rudd could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country." Link to post Share on other sites
acpowman 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 SJ & MW are both on the money here, forecasts are for the AUD to continue to strengthen against the Yen. Can't complain with current levels though, much better than last year ! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 After a wild couple of days, the pound's down to 143 to the yen. It sounds like they're cheering it on as well! At tourist rates I guess that means 1000 yen is seven pound fifty or more. Pricey! http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aa6UoH8.GTUQ USD is under 90 yen again too.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Interested to see what is going to happen with the Aussie Dollar now. Currently it is @ 78 It was in the low 80's a couple of months ago, but has been vacillating between 76 and 79 since then. The RBA has announced that mortgage rate rises are going to happen as our economy is growing again. Considering it was suggested that with Interest rate rises we will see exchange rate wins - I am watching to see. Link to post Share on other sites
