Over the years three forms of efficiency have been proposed. If you are classically trained in economics or finance you will have had this theory rammed down your throat. If however you are in the industry you will probably think the EMH is a pile of garbage.

It will add substantially to national income and ability to spend, even with the slowing in global growth to below trend pace that the Bank has been assuming for some months now.</p> <p>Given the opposing forces at work, considerable uncertainty remains about the outlook for demand and inflation. On balance, the Board’s current assessment is that demand growth will remain moderate this year. In the short term, inflation is likely to remain relatively high, but it should decline over time provided demand evolves as expected. Should demand not slow as expected or should expectations of high ongoing inflation begin to affect wage and price setting, that outlook would need to be reviewed.</p> <p>Weighing up the available domestic and international information, the Board’s judgement is that the current stance of monetary policy remains appropriate for the time being. The Board will continue to evaluate prospects for economic activity and inflation in the light of new information."</p> </blockquote> <p align="right"><em>Source: Reserve Bank Of Australia Media <a href="http://www.rba.gov.au/MediaReleases/2008/mr_08_07.html" target="_blank">Release</a>.</em></p> Mr. Wall Streethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718048136929535668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216252278185869686.post-19933970704409419252008-05-06T11:52:00.000+09:302008-05-06T11:53:04.240+09:30Oil, YHOO and the Dollar<p align="center"><img height="500" alt="" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1146/1419921337_9353555d5f.jpg?v=0" width="353" /></p> <p align="right">Original Artwork <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/azrainman/1419921337/" target="_blank">azrainman</a>. </p> <p align="left">Oil passes the $US 120 a <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080505/oil_prices.html" target="_blank">barrel mark</a>. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.livecharts.co.uk/MarketCharts/crude.php" target="_blank"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="257" alt="Crude Oil Price Chart" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB_BAXYaTKI/AAAAAAAAAGE/SYZZW7T9SWg/image%5B20%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="400" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="left">Yahoo Still open to talks with <a href="http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=az5DfMHYs0pY&refer=home" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="254" alt="YHOO Stock Price" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB_BBHYaTLI/AAAAAAAAAGM/pAy8qUd5XP0/image%5B21%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="400" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="left">Dollar decline as growth as Bernanke signals housing growth to <a href="http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=akisp58FoFKU&refer=home">slow</a>.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.livecharts.co.uk/ForexCharts/global.php"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="257" alt="USD/EUR price chart" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB_BB3YaTMI/AAAAAAAAAGU/bkRy86iwN88/image%5B22%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="400" border="0" /></a> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left"></p> Mr. Wall Streethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718048136929535668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216252278185869686.post-17981600616854570042008-05-05T22:45:00.001+09:302008-05-05T22:45:18.943+09:30Yahoo Microsoft deal collapse...

Kirk</a>. </p> <p>If you have not heard of the Kirk report you would have to be in the minority. Charles E. Kirk is the Godfather of the finance blog world. His archives date back to September 2003 and has steadily built a large subscriber base. Below are some subscriber stats obtained via Feed Analysis v1.1.</p> <p align="center"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="196" alt="Feed" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB5-MXYaTCI/AAAAAAAAAFE/5Y7DFzSXf9k/Feed%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" border="0" /> </p> <p align="center"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="141" alt="growthRate" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB5-NHYaTDI/AAAAAAAAAFM/zJOp1365utg/growthRate%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="363" border="0" /> </p> <p>Kirk's website contains no advertising instead he has gone for a membership model, however he still provides free quality content. One very handy feature of the site is that when you mouse over a ticker symbol you can quickly obtain historical data from Yahoo. You can have a look at Kirk's track record <a href="http://www.kirkreport.com/portfolio.html">here</a>. Kirk is also very accessible and provides feedback to members questions. This is one finance site you need to have in your bookmarks. The Kirk Report gets a perfect score. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://wallstreetwit.blogspot.com/2008/04/ranking-system.html"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="69" alt="fiveStar" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB5-NXYaTEI/AAAAAAAAAFU/vCfAHpDi_wU/fiveStar%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" border="0" /></a></p>Mr. Wall Streethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718048136929535668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216252278185869686.post-61017248109122110682008-05-02T12:27:00.001+09:302008-05-06T15:19:23.548+09:30Links<p align="center"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="320" alt="wimpRoll" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SBqDFXYaS0I/AAAAAAAAAC8/D9bEfG3hBDc/wimpRoll%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="370" border="0" /> </p> <p align="right">Original Photography <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/petechons/" target="_blank">peteChon</a>. </p> <p>You will notice Wall Street Wit does not have a Blog Roll.

He has been trader, hedge fund manager, reality TV star, publisher, author and now an educator. Tim's most notable achievement was his trading gains made from 1999-2002, where he turned $12,415 to $1.65 million trading Penny Stocks. He is serial self promoter and has a band of haters that follow him around the web.</p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000080;">So is Tim a self promoting tool bag?</span></p><p align="left">The short answer is NO. Tim does things his way and that is uniquely refreshing. He is not afraid to unleash his thoughts and emotions and doesn't hide behind a public relations company that carefully manages his image. He is accessible and responds to his emails promptly. Really there is not a lot of information around about trading Penny Stocks and Tim's site fills the gap. Go read his blog you will probably learn a thing or two, at the very least you will be entertained. <a href="http://timothysykes.com/" target="_blank">Timothy Sykes website</a> gets a solid fours stars the new layout and features provide a refreshing format to the usual boring finance websites. </p><p align="center"><a href="http://wallstreetwit.blogspot.com/2008/04/ranking-system.html" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height="72" alt="Four Star Rated" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/WallStreetBabes/SB_w33YaTSI/AAAAAAAAAHE/iJWEUviPsVc/fourStar%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" border="0" /></a></p>Mr. Wall Streethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07718048136929535668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216252278185869686.post-45477316837080121242008-05-01T03:29:00.000+09:302008-05-01T20:28:17.710+09:30About UsWall Street Wit is a one <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold">man</span> show run by yours truly.
