Here's something of interest

You can buy a house in Port Headland which is a mining town for around $650,000.

Interest rate of loan 6%.

Yet if you get a margin loan against, say FMG

You can only borrow only 65%

Interest rate of 9.9%

I view the house a much higher risk than FMG

I think the figures should be the other way around.

Expand

Yes, but the head honcho of FMG can run off with a mistress.....

Maybe he did already... Just a joke on the separate extra risk issues there but separation has occurred. No $$ missing as far as we know.
