Posted on 11. Mar, 2008 by Chris Lang.
In several previous postings, you'll recall that I have raised the issue of Australia's current blowout in household debt. A recent article in the weekend Financial Review (pages 26-27) highlighted the current state of affairs.

Project Workshop 2008 ... Update
Posted on 27. Nov, 2007 by Chris Lang.
Last week, I confirmed that the next Workshop will be held on Saturday 1 March 2008. Because people had to be politely turned away from the last Workshop, I gave the opportunity to pre-reserve a seat ... for those not wanting to miss out on this one. Anyway, I was rather surprised how strong the [...]

Posted on 28. Sep, 2007 by Chris Lang.
Given the recent financial turmoil overseas, there are several questions that seem to be continually surfacing. Can the world live with a ballooning US trade deficit?

Household Debt may actually be "Healthy"!
Posted on 11. Sep, 2007 by Chris Lang.
In an earlier posting, I raised concern over the dramatic increase in household debt — to the point where it now sits at over 150% of household disposable incomes. As you can appreciate, the major concern has been as to how rising home-mortgage interest rates might cause a flow-on effect for Commercial investors. And this [...]

An Interest Rate Reprieve — for now!
Posted on 09. Jul, 2007 by Chris Lang.
Last week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held its cash rate at 6.25% for the eighth month in a row — a decision welcomed by the Government and home buyers alike. Inflation figures (due out later this month) could put pressure on the RBA to lift rates. However, the high Australian Dollar (at around [...]

Posted on 27. Jun, 2007 by Chris Lang.
Quite a few of you were rather quick to take advantage of the pre-30 June discount, for the set of Workshop DVDs — which is great! But that means I now have only a certain number left. The simple reason for the reminder is that 30 June falls on a Sunday this year. Therefore, that [...]

Posted on 26. Jun, 2007 by Chris Lang.
With house prices solid or rising everywhere except in Sydney, household debt is now almost out of control. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, you saw the highly-geared Business sector collapse as interest rates rose. But now, you're finding it is households with the high levels of debt. In 1990, households had (on average) [...]
