The importance of knighthoods.

I don't normally comment on politics, but when you get Prime Ministers giving knighthoods to royalty I can't help myself.
I think its the funniest thing I've seen for decades, Abbott single handedly devaluing " the Brand", of the monarchy in one speech.
Usually the "nominee" for the knighthood requires no assistance in achieving this by himself!

What possessed Abbot is a mystery.

Or maybe not,  have his minders given up on him,  and allowed his "intellect" to prosper?

Very "Yes Minister"?

Tony has been hung out to dry, something's going on.

Strange to say the least, if he had have walked into a Pub, Workshop, Business, or board room,  or even asked his wife, for an opinion, surely someone would have wised him up to the folly you would have thought.

I know I always run things past my wife who is always a good sounding board, (although sometimes I don't realise how little merit an idea has until I share it with her!)

But getting back to the stock market I should have asked my wife about TRS!!!
or at least listened to myself, the warning signs were there soon after purchase.
(TRS comments on this blog in July)

Oil had a nice rebound, which should help BHP and WPL.
