They had story of James Dinnison: the 25-year-old high-school dropout from Western Australia makes $200,000 a year running drills in underground mines to extract gold and other minerals.

The reason why this job pays so much is

• It is a dirty job
• Located in remotest parts of Australia

This two trivial factors means the supply for this jobs is very low and you know basics of economic, the lower the supply the higher the demand and prices go up. In this case of Australian mine jobs, wage prices have not only gone up they have hit the roof!

Vacancies For Australian Mine Workers are still open

The Minerals Council of Australia estimates the country needs an additional 86,000 workers by 2020, to complement a current work force estimated at 216,000.

If you feel you have the energy, self reliance and resourcefulness to do this job, you have nothing to lose by going down under.

Many are wondering am I late to the party, has the stock risen too high and you might buy at the top?

Analyst interviewed by Businessweek magazine think, Apple best days are still ahead and the stock is still rated a buy.

White isn’t worried about Apple’s abruptly coming down to earth. If anything, he and a handful of other analysts think Apple watchers on Wall Street may be substantially underestimating the potential of the company, which still only has a single-digit market share in mobile phones and personal computers. “I don’t remember a company of this size growing at this pace,” says White, who recommends the stock and predicts it could be worth $617 billion within a year—the Street’s highest target. “We can’t even model out some of the possibilities: an Apple TV set, huge growth in China, businesses racing to buy Apple laptops. It’s like a religion. It sounds crazy, but it could still be early for Apple.”

To understand the confidence don’t look at the raw number, look at the fundamentals. While Apple shares have soared higher, they’ve become cheaper in relation to earnings. The reality is, Apple profits have been growing faster than the share price.

According to a Wall Street Journal piece on mortgages,

Most delinquent mortgages aren’t available for sale because they are locked up in so-called private-label securities (the ones packaged by Wall Street during the boom) or in the hands of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

What this means is, Although a mortgage company has issued the loan, the loan is owned by third parties. The rules governing this arrangement prevent the issuer from modifying the loans. A modification would subject the servicing firm to the risk of lawsuits by the owners of the securities.

Because of this tight arrangement the mortgage companies find their hands tied and they cant help their borrowers.

Mr. Jones is advising clients who can afford to pay cash for a home to take out a mortgage instead and invest the funds in a diversified portfolio. “If you look at where the market is now and where it could be five to 10 years from now, the return potential is significant,” he says. Ideally, investors would want to borrow at rates below 5% and invest the money in a well-diversified portfolio aiming to return 8% a year over 10 to 15 years.

How did he see it.

In a Wall street journal interview, I found this Paulson quote

“Where is the bubble we can short?” He was asking his staff. They found it in housing.

I think that is the one example on how to make money. Find a bubble and short it!

In the same interview Paulson gave a vague assessment of the market

He’s also betting against other parts of the economy, such as credit-card and auto loans. He tells investors “it’s still not too late” to bet on economic troubles.

Not to fast that was way back in January 2008.
