I was unaware or this and while it is tragic, you of all people would understand these things happen as a statistic with births.
Ambulance chasing litigation lawyers, a world wide growth industry spawned by the litigation mad Americans.
I recall when DEBENDOX, used for morning sickness, was around. Merrell was continually being sued when babies were malformed. Merrell won every time. They proved it was NOT teratogenic, but ultimately withdrew Debendox because they were sick of the continual persuit by the litigation lawyers.
Again, statisically of all the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of doses of Flu vax produced by CSL.......of course there were going to be as a matter of statisical averages, babies born with deformities. Nothing to do with the vaccine.
As far as the increasing AUD goes ( Dont take tooooooooooo much notice of Mark Faber )
It is still a lot lower @ ~92 than when it was above parity, so maybe CSL next reported profit will be higher than last periods....and do they hedge it anyway ?....that I dont know. Agree they are near an all time high and I wouldnt buy them.......but ?????????
Back on Topic........ CFDs, shares, the Port Phillip Publishing conference. (PPP sure hedge their bets... the sky is falling in...the share market will triple..... LOL )
THE CONFERENCE The $64 question. I often think these "gurus" opinions are no more valid than the next blokes and I am reluctant to take too much notice of them. So Is the conference so far worth the money and, ditto the video being made available for ~$150
