Since you have been puzzling since you were a small child about how the German people allowed Hitler to rise to the heights he did I am sure you have a ready answer to this question.

I bet there are a lot of comparisons between pre-war 11 Germany and present day Australia.

I am sorry to say, after the politics in this country in the last decade or so, I now know how it happened. I bet there are a lot of comparisons between pre-war 11 Germany and present day Australia. As much as we may hate it, the means are as important the ends. Maybe more so.

These are long-term funds that will have little effect on the long-term aggregate value of Australian shares, listed or otherwise. Even on shorter timescales, the effects are probably marginal. I understand that the Future Fund entered the market over the past few months, and it did little to stop the sentiment-driven volatility that we have recently experienced. We are talking about ~$70 billion here. From memory (don't quote me) that is not much more than a single day's loss across the All Ords last week. Cheers BBB Kim,
