@sean It's also amazing just how much personalities and personal relationships affected central bank policies. (I'm sure they still do, but surely not to the same extent.)

Any opinions on how much longer the bull market in bonds has to run? 10 year yields are now: Japan <1%, Germany <2.5%, the US approaching 2.5%, the UK approaching 3%, and Australia <5%.
-
@mark that makes sense - I remember doing that calculation for my grandmother once when she was trying to work out what the best rate was. So there's no disadvantage to monthly interest payments.
-
@mark at least with NAB, it appears to be 10bp for monthly interest payments instead of annual ones.
-
@mark losing accrued interest isn't much of a penalty if its being paid monthly (a 0.1% lower rate). But I guess since you can get 6% on call anyway there's not much point.

When did term deposits become "on call"? http://www.nab.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/nab/nab/home/personal_finance/15/17/2#parta_3 just choose monthly interest payments in conjunction with "you may withdraw amounts from the deposit at any time".

@zebra does losing one tentacle here or there really matter to a vampire squid?
-
@danny That suggests it's only a little bit overpriced... Are prices in Glebe starting to fall, or is something not entirely right with this?

!property the Economist now reckons Australian property is 61% overvalued http://www.economist.com/node/16542826 (I'm not sure if they mean it needs to fall 61% or 40%, though?)

@sean but there may be some wingnuts in the stable!

@ramanan No man can read the same General Theory twice.

@sean Where's the option for "there will be no election, Julia Gillard will declare herself president for life and impose union law"? The wackier wingnuts talk as if that was a serious possibility.

@zebra I'm sure the Austrian translation has an epilogue covering the resulting hyperinflation in candy prices...

I think we have another spammer. Maybe ynew account applications need to be vetted?
