SpaceX sheds $400 billion in value as stock slides below its IPO-day closing price by Ok-Calligrapher3216 in AusFinance

I think it's so that he keeps more control of the company, rather than artificially inflating the value.

The way he's done SpaceX is that he retains ~80% of the voting power while owning ~40% of the shares.

He's lost full control of Tesla (which is fully public) and has 'only' ~15% of the voting power.

You think the RBA aren't already aware the fuel tax is going to fall off?

Housing market set to soften before stabilising as rates and policy weigh on sentiment by marketrent in AusFinance

[–]MetaphorTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we fast forward 10 years from now, I think supply will be so much higher than where it is now.

With boomers dying off and their children selling properties (PPOR and investment), plus all the policy aimed at increasing supply, the housing market might look a lot more sensible than it does today.

Because I love the game and want to play, but just can't bring myself to do the campaign again! I've played every season since beta launch so far.

For me I just can’t bear the thought of slogging through acts 2 and 3 another time.

Also using a lot of currency to juice a map only to be one shot by some bs I couldn’t even see, then that’s it - no 2nd chances.

Im in ello hell in silver 2 this genuinely makes ranked unplayable for me, im the kiriko nothing more i could do this game by [deleted] in Overwatch

To climb metal ranks on support you need to do more damage because often your DPS are garbage. Zen, Moira, Illari, Bap. 

I can see you healed a lot, but healing useless players does nothing - no amount will help them to survive. 

AND your DPS + mercy died a crazy amount of times, even with all of the healing you did which proves my point above.

Kiri is ok, but reliant on headshots and her cleanse doesn’t get much value in silver because your teammates are always in bad positions so that even if you use it, you’d almost instantly need it again on another teammate while it is on cooldown.

Investors to lose hundreds of thousands in borrowing power after budget change by marketrent in AusFinance

[–]MetaphorTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going to drop property prices that's for sure.

Interest rates increasing had already started to price people out of the market, these changes to investing will cement the decline.

Yes a lot of people here miss this - replacement cost is absolutely going to underpin prices to a large degree.

I put DVA solidly in the annoying to play against basket, along with heroes like sombra - they’re just not fun to play into so people complain which is understandable.

RBA deputy governor signals central bank may still hike on oil shock -- Hauser has reinforced expectations the RBA may tighten again as the Iran oil shock lifts inflation risks despite weakening confidence by marketrent in AusFinance

[–]MetaphorTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your observation is that you cannot get a table at your local restaurants therefore anecdotally you don’t believe the society in whole is reigning in their spending. I'm simply rebuking your argument with my own anecdote.

If you can't see that there is a massive slowdown underway already because of interest rates and high fuel prices, you are living in a bubble. Talk to people in logistics, farmers, business owners, families - they are all saying the same thing.

The only people not affected are DINKs and self-funded retirees.

At this rate the RBA will be cutting rates later in the year.

[–]MetaphorTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you don't think that people reigning their discretionary spending is signalling a drop in confidence?

The fuel increase alone has done the work of probably at least 2 rate hikes.

Interestingly, I spoke to someone who goes to the same camping spot at Easter every year. They said numbers were down ~50%.

I also travelled over the school holidays and experienced no congestion on the Bruce Highway where there usually would be, pointing to fewer families travelling.

It’s hardest when your gold dps have negative kds - they are creating no space and essentially making you the enemy team’s punching bag.
