Financial Standard Comments - Where now brown cow? Is it time to exit stage left while the going is still going or just keep on going in anticipation of picking even greater fortune? https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest/?story=12780005 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:00:39 +1100 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:00:39 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Financial Ninja () I wouldn't call a -0.1% contraction an upside surprise! More like a small variation in forecasts of sluggish, unproductive, debt ridden EU countries.
Couple that with a possible military strike by Israel on Iran with the resulting oil price spike and the World is not a very happy place.

increased 7-fold over the past 20 years. And so what, if capital values happen to have appreciated by a similar factor (or more, actually)? So what, if 'the market' is lagging the US. What do prices matter? I shant be selling, anyway. Why would I sell such an excellent, reliable, extraordinarilly successful source of income.
Of course, I could change my philosophy, and start trading in the ASX . . . . . .
Shall I buy? Shall I hold? Shall I sell? Oh dear. so much to think about!
