I believe the Reserve deputy was making a hopeful forecast rather than a declaration FF.
Back in the day, instinct persuaded me to spend $55K buying 500K BRN stock, instinct caused me to trade this parcel through our battler’s ups and downs, and accumulate shares, instinct allowed me to pay back the original $55K investment, and instinct persuaded me to continue trading BRN and build the handsome parcel I enjoy today.
Gut-feel has been a major decision making influence throughout my life.
This same instinct now tells me that the world including Oz is in for a very difficult period, the likes we have yet to experience in our lifetimes.
Certainly opportunities will present as they always do, but IMO, societies and business will be in survival mode for the next little while. One consequence will be R&D budgets being slashed, meaning our little battler may face delays obtaining orders from its list of NDA and EAP partners.
This is why I have been calling for Coppers to remain patient.
