This beer swillers from down under are too busy playing with the kangaroos than to manage money in this market.
Australia’s sovereign wealth fund is famous for investing like cowards. They’ve doubled the fund since 2006 by attaining a pathetic 7% annual return by practicing a conservative form of investing.
That conservatism just went nuclear bomb shelter 25% cash, waiting for the fucking planet to tilt and then explode.
