[aussiebear]

Early openers are still deciding which way: Kiwis +0.2%, Aussies +0.1%, Nikkers +0.6% and Sth Korea +0.5%.

 

In the Aussie market, Gold and Telecomms, both +1% are heading the greens with Miners down the most, -0.6%.

The only advantage of having a 15 month old who wakes you up at 4am for the second time in the night is that you can finally haul your tail out of bed at 5am and watch the job release, and catch squackbox for the first time in months and learn that Joe Kernan has become an even larger pr*ck than he was when your boy was just a 13 month old....
