    • Hi Roger,
      Just listened, boy does Ross like to be heard. I think both my wife and I need to become lollipop (wo)men, not at schools, of course!
      Maybe the price of steel is up but the quantity/quality is down.

      I agree with you on ASX. There are a few things a sovereign country should have one of those is a government another is control over its capital markets. Allowing SGX to take over ASX would give control to another country. It’s a bit like selling Arnotts to Campbells and complaining Monte Carlos biscuits aren’t the same anymore. As I understand it SGX is in s a race with Hong Kong Exchange as the proxy for a China listing. If SGX got the aussie miners that would stop there slow fade to irrelevance, as other world stock markets merge.
      A stock exchange is just a big computer with lots of access ports (brokers) and that computer can be located anywhere, with a good Vocus link even Singapore! We need our stock Exchange(s) operating in, owned by, regulated, taxed by, and answerable to: Australians.

      Regards Greg
