aussie rob

Is it because he is a magic formula trader or is it because he has marketed himself well online ,but there is more  hidden!!

So who is he ? - In his own terms on his website , as mentioned

G'day... My name's Rob Wilson, or as I'm known in the industry, "Aussie Rob". I think it's really important for those of you who do not know me as yet, to understand that I am a trader. I, just like you, have been looking for the holy grail. I retired from the Rat Race and traded for a living while traveling the world undertaking every course I could get my hands on, subscribing to all of those newsletters and buying countless pieces of software, books, CDs, videos bla la bla...
I finally found my calling in life, teaching others how to trade. In each of my training sessions the same old stumbling block kept raising it's ugly head. Analysis Paralysis.... Virtually every trader that I came across was spending hours and hours analyzing trades. As if one computer screen covered with streaming data wasn't enough.... Many had two monitors on their desks, some had three and even four.

The Australian government has released its economic forecasts for 2008-09.

Various economists are already labeling it far too optimistic. It expects 2008-09 GDP growth of 2%, above expectations of 1.8%; predicts unemployment of 5% by mid-2009 compared to 4.3% at the moment; inflation to be at 3.5% by mid-2009 and the 2008-09 budget surplus forecasts has been trimmed back to $5.4bn. NAB economists have labeled the outlook as “too optimistic by a long way”.

Reserve Bank cuts interest rates by 75 basis points to 5.25%

The third consecutive drop takes the official rate to 5.25 per cent, its lowest level since May 2006.

Last month the RBA stunned observers by taking the official interest rate from 7 to 6 per cent.

Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan yesterday said interest rate cuts should be passed on in full as soon as possible.

"I would expect banks to pass on any cut ... as quickly and as rapidly as they possibly can," he said.

Analysts say October's panic-driven selling had been in line with an historical trend of October being the worst month for the markets.

But confidence appears to be returning as fund managers take advantage of bargain stocks, supported by retail investors as credit markets thaw somewhat.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has slashed interest rates by 0.75 of a percentage point.

 

Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull is taking the same stance, saying despite the global economic turmoil, the banks are in a good position to pass on a rate reduction.

"The banks should pass on the entirety of that cut, they are in a position to do so, in my view," he said.
