Since result day, Healthscope (ASX: HSO) has plummeted 25 per cent down to $1.68 and Ramsay Health Care (ASX: RHC) 19 per cent to $63.84. Roger Montgomery previously discussed some of the risks we had identified into the results in this June blog.

September 15, 2017

September 13, 2017
Earlier this week, The Australian – the newspaper I write for fortnightly – updated their reporting of Australian property mogul Harry Triguboff’s view on property prices.
Separately this week, UBS reported the results of a survey of almost 1000 Australian mortgage holders who borrowed in the twelve months to August 2017. They observed; “Our 2017 survey found factually accurate mortgage applications fell to just 67 per cent. There are now ~$500 billion in ‘Liar Loans’ on the banks’ books.” A third of borrowers admitted to understating their living expenses. Continue…
