Hi Maurice, Tuesday update. I felt a bit more uncomfortable after posting this ... Message 16940870 ... and stayed at the bank for the longest time ever in 14 years, switched more personal and corporate USD to staggered AUSD, Euro and CHF fixed deposits. USD interest rate is now effectively zero in HK. I also bought a few Aztecish Panda gold coins as bonus to staff for lunar new year holiday. Chugs, Jay

>>As interest rates drop, it's not surprising that debt levels are increasing. << One would expect, CapEx positions would take off. I would assume, that's where you would put the money borrowed at 0.5% fixed 10 yrs - Or would you carry trade NZ/AUS $ (g)? And, ("Oliver Twist asked for more"!!!!): I would expect the easing of the debt burden to help the earnings. It's been now a year since the 6-month mantra started to roll. My numbers dont show anything of this sort. dj
