		<description><![CDATA[ The US Federal Reserve is concerned that consumption is still being underpinned by government funding.

And so, even though stimulus measures may be winding down ... the Fed has decided to maintain interest rates at their historically low level.

It seems that households and businesses are preferring to repay debt, rather than spend to encourage investment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the Federal government released Australia&#039;s third Intergenerational Report.

And about five years ago, I came out with a somewhat startling statement:

&#034;If you haven&#039;t sold your traditional family home by 2010 ... you had better be prepared to hold it until 2025 &#8212; because there simply won&#039;t be a market for it!&#034;

		<description><![CDATA[Despite what the IMF has to say this morning ... the World Bank expects China&#039;s economy to start growing by mid-year, as a result of its massive stimulus package (some $A800 billion).

So, should you fix your rates on your Commercial property now, or wait a while?

		<description><![CDATA[The pent-up demand for housing serves to underline that this downturn is more like the credit squeeze of the mid-1970s, than the recession of the early 1990s.

It&#039;s principally a confidence thing.
