Well this pretty much wipes out any future purchases from Robot Kingdom and the like for the foreseeable future. :(:(:(
I've read this article yesterday and there's one part of the news there I couldn't yet comprehend for whatever basis.
:confused:Quote:
"There's going to be a fairly prolonged period of balance sheet consolidation with households: you're going to get a situation, even though credit is cheaper, people won't use extra income to spend," he said.
Yea, they'll be paying bills instead.
Oh yea, take it with a grain of salt too. A french bank isn't the most worthy authority on our economy, nor that of Asias growth and demand for our resources.
But the French are idiots?
oooooooooooooohhhhh ahhhhh
just tighten your belts
geez
I totally agree. Our Asian neighbours still want our resources. In a way this 'financial crisis' has been postive for my household. I have more money from the home loans, and retail prices are finally coming down overall. The retail prices here in Australia were WAY to high. IF I ever see the day when Collectoybles and Transfigure are cheaper than Robotkingdom, I'll buy from them.....however I won't hold my breath. :)Quote:

I knew it was going to drop below 50 at some stage. :( If they're predicting June, it may mean that Masterpiece Grimlock will be the last major TF I buy for a long, long time.
NOOOOOOOOOO! Im going on overseas holidays in June!:(:(:( That would mean less TF buying then for me as the dollar would not be much. Sigh. Hopefully I would be getting only newer stuff by then so wouldnt have to scout much while Im overseas.
I don't think I will worry about this.
1 bank says this will happen, 1 bank
How many other banks say this? It is just because it will grab attention, that is all.
MV75: there's an English translation if you click and drag on the text in my last post. ;)
Yep, is what I'm doing.Quote:

Oh yea, I saw that next to the two squares, but what is your meaning?Quote:
