2. Bank of Poland cut interest rates by 0.75% to 6% despite inflation running @ 10%.
3. China has banned all government officials from using APPLE iPhones....I doubt the average Chinese person is going to feel too comfortable walking around with an iPhone now....Got to be brave buying APPLE shares on its massive current PE of 30 times....If Warren Buffet decides to take some profit then look out!
4. According to the World Gold Council, central banks continued to BUY GOLD in July with 55 tons added.
5. ETPMAG has failed to break through the mid $35 resistance level for maybe the 10th time...for those younger clients of ours, you should be breathing a sigh of relief as it allows more time to accumulate; buying SILVER is your way out of the rat race - everyone should be aiming to get to a minimum of $50K worth as this new economic era ,characterized by STAGFLATION, will be brutal (but a joy for those that are prepared!).
ASX Market Update
ASX 200 down 86 points to 7171
Our market copped a decent touch up...SuperCheap (SUL) was the worst performer in the top 200 after falling 7.5% - no real surprise seeing retailers roll over....BHP fell 5.18% -but it also went ex dividend of $1.25 fully franked and Qantas (QAN) dipped 2.28% as major shareholders start pushing back against the big fat cheque that the board is about to cut for the outgoing CEO.
"Listen closely Allan, we are getting you out late tonight from Richmond RAAF base. Chairman Goyder has already wired the $24mil to Cayman's account to tie you over for a while. I'm skipping town too.. the heat is on us my friend...the natives want blood".
