These people come out of the woodwork and talk crack, just so they can get some attention to sell a product. They are misleading people, there should be some law against it 😉

Is there any points you would add to my post? There is still lots of other things (like the exchange rate) that need to throw into the mix to discuss what happens.

She also went on to advocate fixed basket of currencies and currency union.
Fixed basket has been tried here before and was not successful…it cost the RBNZ millions in defending the NZD.

And as for Dr Robin Pope’s comments…what a load of hogwash.
Capital gains are not the answer. The answer is to remove taxes on interest rate products, T bills, Bonds etc and also on equities. Then we would have a level playing field and not drive so much capital into property.
