AK had an early segment in the news in Canberra ABC where he spoke of an unnamed french economist predicting a bubble in oz. He didn't even try to debunk the idea. (as he so often does)

Societe Generale's Dylan Grice?

His recent observation...

Quote

It sounds like the opening line to a geeky finance joke: “What do you call a credit bubble built on a commodity bull market built on a much bigger Chinese credit bubble?” asks Societe Generale strategist Dylan Grice in his latest note. Sadly, the answer is not funny. “Leveraged leverage? A CDO squared? No, it’s Australia.”

Mr. Grice points out that Australia has five of the world’s 15 most expensive cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth), has seen household debt to income rise to 150% from 40% in the 1990s, and is running a current account deficit despite the terms of trade improvement caused by the commodity bull market. If Chinese commodity demand falls, things could look rocky.

But more than that, Mr. Grice detects an element of hubris creeping in: a recent book by Australian journalist George Megalogenis argues that there is an “Australian miracle.” That, he concludes, makes him particularly worried.

Chart 1, Ahem *cough* nothing to see here, move along.....

AK is dropping more hints and clues to our own massive housing bubble. He said the chart dating back to 1880 shows what a huge bubble US housing had in real terms. Hopefully, AK will overlay Aus house prices with that chart in the coming weeks and stir up the masses :thumbup:
