John Key didn’t properly declare his Tranz Rail shares and was thus caught out by an intrepid TV ‘journalist’…

Oh wait…

John Key knows the cure for ALL chronic and acute diseases such as the Common Cold, Influenza, AIDS,TB, Hepatitis,Diabetes,Malaria, Heart attack, Hangover, Erectile dysfunction, PMT etc, but will sell this great medical knowledge only to a cohort of American FreeMason Jews who are ex-employees of Merrill Lynch, for trillions of dollars. Anyone suffering or who has suffered form one or more of the above-named maladies, will be banned from any further free health care in glorius nation of New Zild.

Phil(u)seless:

Your original claim:

.i don’t share the official confidence in our aussie banks..

My response:

Two links to rebut your position including this: Three of Australia’s big five banks have just posted record profits and two of them are earning as much as they were in 2006 despite the largest write offs for some years.

It’s telling that your 7:43 response doesn’t address Australia at all. You change the subject completely. This leads me to believe that you have been caught out bullshitting again.

..and gee..!..you are one of the ones who has been dissing my predictions/early-warnings of this..for the past two years..eh..?

..so..how much weight do you really think we should give your words..?

Hmmm… I’m not about to disclose my investment strategies to a drug-fucked wreck, but let’s just say that I trust my judgment and have the results to prove it. Now you, on the other hand Phil. What is your claim to investment expertise?

“..if the derivatives market collapses, pension funds and insurance companies will take losses large enough to put them out of business many times over. Suddenly millions of mostly western elderly retirees who’ve lost their earning power will be completely broke…”

yeah..

this is what i wrote in may 2007..

“..the real scary thing about kiwisaver..is that .(as gareth morgan noted)..that these super-funds are not government guaranteed..

so..in the event of..(say bad investment decisions/choices)..causing a fund to go belly-up…?

the punters lose their money…

and of course..a general great-depression style global economic meltdown..?

i don’t know..maybe/possibly driven/exacerbated by something like..(oh!..i dunno..?..um..?) the consequences of/from global warming/climate-change..?

well..once again..tough bikkies for us punters…!..eh..

if that pile of paper money should ‘blow away’..that’d be it..!..eh..?

(something to think about..!..eh..?..)”..

Thanks phil for playing with us, most appreciated. I think one of the major current issues in the financial system is the fact that most reserve banks are reacting to it as if liquidity is the root cause which it isn’t. The root cause is lack of confidence, specifically between banks. When banks don’t lend to each other they don’t lend to anyone else either. If this lack of confidence issue is not addressed at a global level we risk capital lending grinding to a halt with all the attendent consequences.

Secondly if the derivatives market collapses, pension funds and insurance companies will take losses large enough to put them out of business many times over. Suddenly millions of mostly western elderly retirees who’ve lost their earning power will be completely broke.

“..That whoar whoosh was Philu’s credibility (did he ever have any?) going up in flames!..”

nosty/aka..that stalking lawyer guy..

..we..as a country..are living on overseas credit..we currently need to borrow/roll-over $60 billion in overseas loans..all the time..

..just to stay afloat…

(are you still with me nosty..?..)

gee..!..i wonder what would happen should the international meltdown..

(let’s not forget this is just beginning..hold on to your hats..!..here come ‘the derivatives’..!)..

..i wonder what would happen if we weren’t seen as such a good risk any more..?..or if that credit all just dried up..?

..eh nosty..?

..and gee..!..you are one of the ones who has been dissing my predictions/early-warnings of this..for the past two years..eh..?

..so..how much weight do you really think we should give your words..?

John Key worked on Manhatten,
so he’s responsible for killing 150,000 innocent Japanese AND for starting the cold war.

John Key has at least 4 Patio Heaters at his houses/flats.

Therefore he is almost certainly responsible for the huge Ozone Hole just re-discovered.

Not Forgetting Global warming, and chronic Climate Change.

He however cannot be credited for the best Ski Conditions on Ruapehu.

That was HC, the Ice Queen!

John Key would have fed sheep brains to average, hardworking NZ cows resulting in a hypothetical, back of the envelope, pro-rata death toll from mad cow disease derivative, CJD of around 2,000,000 average, hardworking kiwis.

Evil, rich bastard.

Vote Labour First, the party who believes pro-rata might be an affirmative action group for promoting the consumption of bush honey.

Philu

.i don’t share the official confidence in our aussie banks.. ..i reported on whoar about 10 months ago..a warning from the aussie reserve bank. ..warning of the australian commercial banks’ exposure to the sub-prime problem..’should it unravel’.. ..well..it has certainly unravelled..eh..? ..and i would guess that ‘dangerous’ exposure is still there..?

That ~~whoar~~ whoosh was Philu's credibility (did he ever have any?) going up in flames! Exhibit A:

RBA waits in the wings Although it is extremely unlikely, the major Australian banks could survive for many years without the funding support of offshore financial institutions. They could use the emergency funding facilities from the RBA. However, such a prospect is extremely remote. Three of Australia's big five banks have just posted record profits and two of them are earning as much as they were in 2006 despite the largest write offs for some years.

Earth to Dr Phil? Record profits... despite the largest write offs. Exhibit B:

This morning’s big rise in banking stocks supports Kevin Rudd's decision to reassure Australians about the quality of Australian banks. He could have added that if one unexpectedly gets into strife we have the firepower to safeguard depositors. What prompted the statement was the belief that we were going to see some Australian banks get into deep trouble. All through this crisis I have firmly believed that a global meltdown was unlikely so I don’t believe any listed bank in Australia is going to get into deep trouble. But don’t forget that the underlying cause of this chaos remains – what we will see is an extended global credit squeeze which will affect Australian asset values. This problem will not affect our banks solvency but it will affect profits because bad debts will rise.

Banks solvency not at risk. Earth to Dr Phil... are you still there?

“..and that it is a system so complex..even those working in it don’t understand how it works..?”

If everyone who CAN know how it works DOESNT know how it works, then all your your hysterical end of the world fantasies are just pessimism because you dont know that it doesnt work.

You see how logic works?
