The spendathon election campaign has lapsed into farce, with both major parties announcing housing assistance policies that are likely to drive house prices higher. Even promises that do address the underlying issue, like building 250,000 more homes a year, are impossible to achieve given the shortage of skilled workers – mainly due to government infrastructure projects. The unreality of the housing debate is fueled by an unpalatable truth. For houses to become more a...
On Wednesday local time, President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of the imposition of high tariffs.

This news has triggered a shift in the global markets from panic to jubilation. The three major U.S. stock indexes soared, with$Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$closing up 7...
The RBA is set to release its February monetary policy decision on February 18. The market now sees a 90% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut, which would bring the cash rate down from 4.35% to 4.10%. If the RBA cuts rates in February, it would mark the first rate cut since the cash rate was raised to 4.35% in November 2023, and the first in over four years, signaling Australia's official entry into a rate-cutting cycle. RBA rate cu...

Again, FSD is not legal in US. Select states allow it for testing. idk why ppl keep forgetting this with Tesla. Overvalued. As for Meta, they're also overvalued. User metrics are unregulated- meaning nothing stops bots and fake accounts from padding their growth. They claim 5% are bots. If you dig a little before they canned their moderation teams anywhere from 1.5B to 1.6B bots were deleted per quarter, then it slowly dropped down to 700M in Q423 as they changed their reporting. Pretty sure bots didn't just shrug and move to Twitter. Estimates range from 30% to 60% total Facebook users are fake. People will eventually begin to get suspicious. Nobody uses them anymore. How are they still growing users? 1 billion AI users??? LOL
