Ignore this at your peril: The USA is going down

Dots = timelines of events....
Makes things a bit more obvious when compared to charts.
Have noticed particular events that impacted our markets.
Eg, 3 day blip early October 2019 etc... need to go back way further than that though to get the picture...

My next worry would be war.
China wasn't arming the South China sea for shts and giggles. The also own a lot of ports after their debt traps with micro nations, almost all the way to Australia.

US is pissed they have to spend trillions. Will be a lot of insults and cold war tactics from here.

Ah, some of the dots
 
I don't get why our dollar has fallen so much against all the major economies.
Just see it as we're an easy target.
The sudden drop has to be hurting our producers... having to provide more for the same etc.

This is our first time at the QE party, maybe the money markets think we wont recover, as well as a first world economy?
 
Who are they going to sell their junk to.....themselves?

Say company A buys a substantial quantity of its raw product from company B.
Company A is huge. Company B tiny and an easy target and ignorant but with massive underlying value.
Takeover.... rocket science?

We hardly ever do. Australia is historically one of the slowest nations to recover from economic down turns. The recession we had to have didn't really end until the late 90's for many people in the very industries that have been shut down this time.

One fears all govt narrative will be about job creation for the next decade or more. And govt debt.
 
"She'll be right, mate. Just tie it up with wire."
"Oi, Sheila, where's the wire gone"
"We ran out, waiting for the next slow boat from ...."

Really hope we bring back some manufacturing out of this, process our own ore concentrate etc.

Agreed. We need to diversify more. Funny thing is when you go back through some of the political debates from around 10 years ago leaders from both sides warned us of the perilous nature of having too many eggs in one basket(case).
