AFR, GENERIC, ASXn Stock Exchange — ASX, shares, investing, wealth, growth, economy, business, stock market, portfolio, all ords. Monday 14th April 2003photo Louie Douvis / ldz***AFR FIRST USE ONLY***n shares climbed solidly on Monday to start the week on an upbeat note, with Commonwealth Bank investors taking the news of a new CEO in their stride.
The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 25 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 6075 while the All Ordinaries climbed 22 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 6187. Currency traders continued to buy the n dollar, which traded at US80.96c late Monday as it continued to hover around multi-month highs against the greenback.
While the US dollar has suffered, US equities continue to power ahead and the ASX started the day on a positive note following a solid session on Wall Street on Friday, where strong earnings outflanked concerns about trade spurred by President Trump's administration officials.
Some strategists are finding reasons to be positive on the ASX over the longer term as well, with Citi's n equity strategist Tony Brennan lifting his ASX target 6600 by the end of the year, up from a previous target of 6400.
"Commodity prices have continued to rise, and with the extra gains just this year-to-date and earnings forecasts for resources companies yet to fully incorporate them, we estimate a further 5-10 per cent upside to the market's earnings over 2018," Mr Brennan commented.
Miners were moving broadly higher on Monday, with South32 up 3.7 per cent at $3.97 and Orocobre up 5.7 per cent to $7.28.
Iluka Resources jumped 4.9 per cent to $10.17 after the world's largest zircon producer said it expects favourable conditions for mineral sands in 2018, after an improvement in 2017.
Net debt fell to $183 million from $506 million while zircon output for the fourth quarter declined to 59,000 tonnes from 65,300 tonnes.
Banks and healthcare firms were the best performers by sector, with CBA shares advancing 0.7 per cent to $79.19 after 's biggest bank said that it has promoted the head of its retail business, Matt Comyn, to chief executive officer.
Goldman Sachs analysts weighed in on CBA's choice, noting that Mr Comyn has extensive experience in retail banking and his nearly 20 years' experience at the CBA will be key for the group to navigate any negative sentiment stemming from AUSTRAC proceedings.
Elsewhere in the banking sector, Westpac climbed 0.6 per cent to $31.11 and NAB rose 0.7 per cent to $29.26.
Healthcare stocks gaining ground included CSL, up 1.6 per cent to $149.84, and ResMed, which lifted 2.6 per cent to $12.66.
Deals provided a bit of a boost to the ASX as well on Monday, with AWE surging 16.5 per cent to 99c after a third bidder entered the race to buy the oil and gas producer, with Japan's Mitsui & Co offering 95?? a share, or around $594 million to purchase the company.
– With wires
CSL stockwatch
CSL shares vaulted higher on Monday, with the healthcare firm ending the day up 1.6 per cent at $149.84. The European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use gave a positive use extension recommendation to CSL for its Hizentra product late Friday. Morgan Stanley analysts noted that the firm is due to report half-year earnings on the 14th of February. "New product launches and an early flu season increase the Street's conviction an upgrade to CSL's full-year 2018 guidance is nigh – though it's already implicit in the valuation," they said. The broker's expecting revenue to reach $US3.9 billion, net profit of US$846 million, EPS of US$1.89 and a dividend per share of US83??.
Aussie dollar
The currency has advanced for seven straight weeks as the US dollar has slumped and rising prices for commodities such as iron ore have bolstered the outlook for 's exports. "For now, it is tough to fight," said Athey, a senior investment manager at Aberdeen, which oversees about $US810 billion ($999 billion). "But in the medium term, the n economy does not welcome a stronger n dollar. Plus, I expect commodity prices to moderate." The Aussie dollar was trading at US80.96c on Monday.
Home prices
Sydney home prices continued to slip further than the national average last week, CoreLogic property data showed. Home values were down 0.1 per cent across 's five major capital cities in the week ending January 28, with Sydney falling 0.2 per cent, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth's prices dropping 0.1 per cent, while Brisbane prices were flat. On a monthly basis, home values on average were down 0.4 per cent with Sydney leading declines with a 0.7 per cent fall. The median house price in Sydney is $800,000, while the median unit price is $647,500.
Global growth
Citi's strategy team are positive for a continued improvement in the global economy, they said. "We remain bullish on the outlook calling for above-consensus global growth (3.4 per cent in 2018 and 3.3 per cent in 2019) and steady (below consensus) inflation and moderate monetary tightening," the strategists said. They said that they continue to see upside risks to growth, inflation and policy rates. "Our estimates suggest that global growth could surprise by 0.3 percentage points after a 0.6 percentage point surprise in 2017."
Hang Seng
A growing frenzy for Chinese offshore stocks has taken a new turn as investors bid up underperformers. About a third of the companies on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index racked up fresh one-year highs last week, the biggest proportion since the country's 2015 stock bubble. Laggards such as PetroChina and China Galaxy Securities have soared, while stubbornly cheap banks are turning red hot. As a bull market in the China H-share gauge extends into the 715th day, one of the longest in its 23-year history, investors are finding plenty of reasons to buy and few to sell.

That being said, I'm sooo glad that local beer champion Greg Reid had the time and desire to shoulder the burdens. So, to thank Greg for a thankless job, get you asses out to the Gallivan Center Oct 6th and support you local breweries; While helping out the Tracy Aviary.
The event features live entertainment, food as well as celebrating Utah's award winning craft beer industry. All of Utah's micro-breweries are invited, each offering three of their finest beers. Participants are encouraged to ask the brewery's questions and to experience the varied blends and creations. Something that has been missing in recent years is the return of the commemorative refillable mug for participants 21 and older. As usual each Brewers tent will only accept script tickets. These can be purchased near the food tents for a dollar per ticket(I assume).

It all seems so anti-climactic now, but, 30 years ago, driving a car with a turbocharged gasoline-fuelled engine under the hood was something rare and exotic. Yet, it has been three decades since the first turbo Saab, a 99 hatchback, debuted. And how does the General Motors-owned Swedish automaker honour the 99 — and the 900 Turbo that followed? By introducing the high-performance, limited-edition Turbo X sport sedan.
I never drove the 99, but I can certainly recall the Darth Vader-on-wheels 900 Turbo, complete with wicked torque steer, pronounced understeer and a manual transmission that could pop out of gear when the hammer was down. By comparison, the Turbo X is as mild as a Disney flick. Oh, it has all the ingredients of a proper sport sedan — the most potent production V6 Saab has ever produced, lowered and tuned suspension, aerodynamic body pieces, low-profile Pirelli tires and all-black paint job, just to name the basics, but it can be as easy to drive as a Corolla. It's smooth, decidedly quick and has all the electronic nannies to get your back–and save your backside.
The Turbo X is also equipped with the company's cross-wheel drive (XWD), being the first Saab to be fitted with the sophisticated all-wheel-drive technology (don't even think of mentioning the badge-engineered, Chevy TrailBlazerderived 9-7X in the same breath). More importantly, XWD will become more readily available with the 2009 9-3 lineup. As such, Saab is finally jumping on the AWD bandwagon, joining rivals Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo and a host of others in fitting the all-weather traction aid to its sedans and wagons.
Saab's XWD is an active all-wheel-drive system that balances torque not only between the front and rear axles but also between the rear wheels. Data from the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability program sensors — measuring wheel speed, yaw rate and steering angle — is analyzed by the XWD control module. Rear drive is instantly applied to balance oversteer and understeer characteristics, which has the helpful effect of improving stability and road holding.
Then there's the electronic limited-slip differential that receives input from the rear-wheel speed sensors and can transfer up to 40% of torque between the drive shafts to whichever wheel has more grip. According to Saab, when cornering hard, this yaw damping effect helps the rear of the Turbo X more closely follow the direction of the front wheels. While this is all very technical, the net result is a car that grabs the road like no other Saab before it, with a very satisfying level of adhesion on dry pavement and comforting grip in the wet.
A top-notch drive system deserves an equally sophisticated powerplant, and Saab ups its game in this department as well. No, the $55,000 Turbo X should not be sent out to chase down M3s, S4s or anything with an AMG badge, but the 280 horsepower generated from the turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 is not exactly chump change. Like most turbo engines, the V6 churns out its maximum torque of 295 pound-feet at low revs –in this case, 2,150 rpm–and holds that rating all the way to 4,500 rpm. With instantaneous hookup from the XWD, the Turbo X powers off like a lit rocket, hitting 100 kilometres an hour in just 5.7 seconds. More important than scofflaw behaviour, however, the engine can be short-shifted in city traffic without bogging in order to keep fuel economy reasonable. Still, during my week with the car, I averaged a thirstier-than-ideal 12.6 litres of premium unleaded per 100 km in a mix of highway and suburban use.
One other component of a good sport sedan is superior braking, and the Turbo X's big binders– internally ventilated at the front and externally ventilated at the rear — are positively heroic in the way they scrub speed.
Inside, the "black turbo" theme is continued throughout the cabin. The exceedingly comfortable sport seats — with additional bolstering — are swaddled entirely in black leather. The sporty ambience is further accentuated by a carbon-fibre finish to the door inserts, glove box and gear shift. A nice touch is that the Turbo X boost gauge is a replica of the original 900 Turbo display in recognition of Saab's turbo heritage.
So, the sum of the components should add up to a seriously competent and sporting four-door, which the Turbo X is– for the most part. The "but" that follows is that, when driven with greater abandon, not everything works harmoniously the way one would find piloting, say, a BMW 335i. There is more body roll with the Saab under hard cornering despite the stiffer springs and dampers, the steering is not as quick and the six-speed manual lacks a certain fluidity when hurried.
The Turbo X is fabulous ? for a Saab. But, while it's in the same room as the stalwarts that dominate the sport sedan segment, it's not quite ready to sit at the same table.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Each day, we here at "Piers Morgan Tonight" put together the news you need to know – from what happened last night to what will happen today.
For February 5, 2013 – Rescued child, Ethan, is in good spirits after Alabama hostage standoff, January's FBI gun background checks are second-highest ever and Chris Christie takes fat jokes in stride (and with a donut)...
• Rescued child, Ethan, is in good spirits after Alabama hostage standoff: "Ethan was taken to a hospital, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Steve Richardson, where he was in a private area with heavy security. 'He is doing fine,' Richardson said, adding that he visited the boy. 'He's laughing, joking, playing, eating.'"
• January's FBI gun background checks are second-highest ever: "As President Barack Obama continues to push for new gun control measures, new FBI data shows that January was the second-highest month on record for gun background checks."
• House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wants to give GOP a 'makeover': "In a sharp departure from the GOP's emphasis on slashing federal spending, bringing down the deficit and moving legislation to assist the 'job creators,' the No. 2 House Republican is rolling out a more personal appeal in a speech on Tuesday with an agenda to 'make life work.'"
• Dell plans to take company private: "Dell announced plans Tuesday to go private in a deal that is worth $24.4 billion."
• Chris Christie takes fat jokes in stride (and with a donut): "As he sat on David Letterman's couch – facing the comedian who often jabs fun at his weight – the New Jersey governor pulled a donut from his pocket and started nibbling away. 'I didn't know this was going to be this long,' Christie joked."

Last night's Piers Morgan show ranks as a television finalist in 'Hosts Who Had Their Heads Handed to Them'. Mr. Morgan's gun debate ineptness was astonishing. Does he really believe he can convince Americans to give up their gun rights? The man is delusional.
Did you know that many gun rights people will be killed by a gun. It might be their children, wife or parents. Did you know that cars, baseball bats, kitchen knives and fists were not made to kill. The only purpose for a gun to be made is to kill. Oh by the way, my teenage son was killed by a gun.
Well put John. Look at the soccer mum, killed by her husband with her own gun a few weeks ago. Or Adam Lanza's mother, or the parents of the 15 year old in New Mexico... you're in more danger with guns in society than without them, and certainly when they're in your own home. Sorry for your loss. Must be hard to take, listening to people insist that their 'right' to have whatever weapon they want is more important than society as a whole.

Hey movies have 3D, why not throw that winning technology at Google Maps. Beginning today, Google is testing WebGL technology with their maps.
Google says that the implementation of OpenGL will make zooming, rotating and tilting smoother than the current method of displaying map information. The technology renders vector-based 3D images using a computer's GPU. OpenGL doesn't require additional software, but does require that the browser have it installed. Currently Firefox beta and Chrome are the only two browsers capable of using the Google Maps OpenGL beta.
You can test the new Google Maps by clicking on the "Want to try something new?" button in the lower left hand corner of the Maps page. Take note, if you have what Google describes as a "low-end integrated GPU," you won't be able to partake in the test. That means my fancy new MacBook air with an i7 processor won't work. [Google via Tom's Hardware]
You can keep up with Roberto Baldwin, on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.

A new joint report by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and Primerica has found that two-thirds of middle class Americans acknowledge having made financial mistakes—with the average cost being $23,000—and points to the "urgent" need for advisors to focus on middle-income earners.
"Families without a lot of resources are balancing difficult and expensive priorities such as saving enough for college and retirement or paying off a mortgage and consumer debt," said said John Addison, Primerica Co-CEO, in a statement. "When you consider these demands within the context of the last decade's falling incomes, we are nearing a crisis in this country."
"Primerica's representatives specialize in working with families that earn between $30,000-$100,000, and trust me, this can be a lonely field to be in," Addison said. "The trend on Wall Street is to work with wealthier and wealthier clients, but this report lays out very clearly the urgent need for more financial services aimed at middle-income earners."
The new report, "The Financial Status and Decision-Making of the American Middle Class," also laid out the challenging financial condition of most middle-class families. For example, in 2010 the typical middle-class family had financial assets of $27,300—including retirement savings but not pensions—which was 28% less than the $37,800 held in 2007.
The report is a comprehensive analysis of a national survey of 2,015 representative American adults by ORC International in July and a statistical examination of the Federal Reserve Board's 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, by Professor Catherine Montalto of The Ohio State University.
In the ORC International survey, 843 out of 2,015 respondents reported household incomes between $30,000 and $100,000 and were considered to be middle class.
Among the key findings were that the least educated were the least likely to seek information or advice. For example, 23% of those with a high school degree or less, but only 10% of those with a college degree, would not seek information about saving and investing.
A very small percentage would invest the bulk of $10,000 (7%), $100,000 (6%) or $1 milion (6%) in gold or precious metals.
Fewer middle-class people (63%) than those with incomes of $100,000 or higher (76%) rated their decision-making about saving for retirement as good or excellent.
More middle-class respondents (67%) than upper-income respondents (61%) said they had made at least one bad financial decision but the latter group lost more money—$61,000 vs. $23,000 on average—presumably because they had more to lose, the report found.
Few of these Americans said their main source of information or advice about specific financial decisions would be from the Internet, books, magazines or TV. And a number said they would not seek information or advice in making these decisions. For example, for "saving and investing," only 15% said they would rely on the Internet, publications or TV for the information, yet another 17% said they "wouldn't seek any information or advice, and just make a decision." However, for this kind of decision, 45% said they would use information and advice from a financial professional.
The report also found that these middle-class Americans were much more risk-averse than those with higher incomes. If given $1 milion to invest for retirement, only 21% of middle class Americans, compared with 48% of higher earners, would invest mainly in "stocks, bonds, and/or mutual funds." And 19% of the middle-class group would put most of their funds in a savings account while 25% would invest mainly in real estate, the report says.
Yet, the survey found, large majorities of these Americans believe their ability to make financial decisions is "good" or "excellent"—for example, 81% for ability to budget income and 80% for ability to manage credit card debt, though only 63% for ability to save for retirement and 67% for their ability to purchase a mortgage loan.

Four of us got together for a nice, easy, early season paddle in the Duxbury Back Rivers. The participants were Abby, Steve, Bea and me. Russ arrived at the same time as Bea but he was there to go for a run, not paddle. But since he came by to say hi, we put him to work helping take the boats down to the water.
The Powder Point Bridge is closed to vehicles for repairs, so the parking lot was very busy with people parking and walking across the bridge to visit the beach. We were lucky to all get parking spaces.
We arrived at noon and the weather was beautiful with air temps somewhere in the 50's, clear skies and just a little breeze.
Bea trying to remember where to stow away all her gear. It's a little hard to paddle with all that gear in the cockpit!
Abby helping Steve with his dry top.
There was plenty of foot traffic on the bridge, but one thing that was noticeable to me was that there was nobody fishing.
The lower level of parking was very limited by a dock being stored on the beach.
We paddled straight across along the bridge and then went under at the far side. We came across Russ running in the beach parking lot and he came out to the water to say hi again.
High tide was at 2:23, so we had plenty of water throughout the paddle. The marsh grasses are still matted down, so it was easy to see a long distance. We had the whole place to ourselves.
All my ducks in a row.
There's an interesting house that looks like it's just been built with half of it up high on stilts along the beach.
Once in a while we'd find a wide stretch of river to paddle four across.
I didn't do a very good job leading this trip. I dug out charts from a previous trip but left them on my desk at home...not that charts help much in this expansive marsh. With the high water, it was hard to distinguish the real creeks from the thin cuts through the grass. At one point we did some poling with our paddles and then when that got tiring, Steve and I got out and dragged the boats over a shallow grassy area - see Bea's Facebook report for pictures of that part of the trip.
When we finally got done cutting across and found some deeper water, we came across this shack and stopped to check it out.
Bea seemed very intrigued by this place and circled all around it.
I wonder if the marsh in this area has sunk a little as there didn't seem to be much clearance. We were here at high tide, but it wasn't the highest tide of the month and the whole place seemed to be in jeopardy of flooding. I didn't get out to look inside, but the fireplace looked pretty big.
It seemed like a good time for a break. Steve and Abby got out of their boats to stretch their legs and have a snack. Bea and I stayed in our boats. Bea wanted to lay back and take a nap. After all, she was skiing just yesterday at Killington.
During our break time, the tide turned. We decided to venture a little further west after the break, looking for a wide creek that Bea and I both remembered from past trips.
With the water now flowing out against us, it was more difficult to swing the long boats around the tight turns. Sometimes you could see the strength of the current flowing in the underwater grass.
We thought we were in the right creek, fairly close to the shoreline...
But we soon found the creek thin out to nothing and had to turn around and head back out.
It was about time to head back to the take-out anyway, so we paddled back to the bridge. It seemed exceptionally clear looking out over the bay to the Gurnet Lighthouse.
Bea seemed to head right past the beach...
But then I realized she was heading over to get a picture of that odd private property sign that looks out of place when the tide comes in.
Here is a Google Earth view of the area we paddled with our GPS track shown in red.
A few specs from the trip:
Launch time: 12:36pm
Snack stop at the shack: 2:32pm Distance: 5.1 miles
Depart snack stop: 2:49pm
Take out: 3:56pm Distance: 8.02 miles
Thanks for coming out for a leisurely paddle Abby, Bea and Steve. Sorry about the bad guidance across the marsh. I hope nobody damaged their paddles.
Bea - please add a link to your Facebook album to show your perspective on the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you offer sheet sticker colors other than white?
A: All of our custom sheet stickers are printed on white paper, but that doesn't mean you're limited in color options and designs! Our full-color printing means that you can print on as much (or as little) of your sticker as you'd like. That said, if you're interested in clear stickers, we do offer custom roll labels for mid- to high-quantity use.
Q: What size are the sticker sheets?
A: Your stickers will be printed on sheets that are either 11" x 17" or 8.5" x 11".
Q: Can I write on these stickers?
A: Yes! If you plan to write on your custom stickers, we recommend picking the matte option – it's the easiest to write on. If you really like the look of a gloss finish, just make sure you use a permanent marker.
Q: How durable are paper custom stickers?
A: Paper stickers are a great, durable option for indoor use – as long as your sticker won't come in contact with liquid, you'll be in great shape. If you intend to use your custom stickers on products that contain (or are exposed to) oil, lubricants or cold temperatures, we recommend a more water- or weather-resistant option – such as our plastic or vinyl roll labels.
Q: Can I order a few custom sticker samples?
A: Unfortunately, we can't ship samples before you purchase – at least, not right now. But you can order a single sheet of custom stickers to try them out before committing to a higher quantity.
Q: Can I get overnight shipping?
A: Not at present. We offer 3-, 5- or 8-day shipping options.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — The flooded Mississippi River became something of a tourist attraction this weekend in eastern Iowa.
The Quad-City Times reports (http://bit.ly/TX3i8a) crowds of people visited Davenport's skybridge Saturday to get a view of the floodwaters covering low-lying areas.
Mike Loew and his wife were in Davenport to attend the Mississippi Valley Blues Fest that had to be moved because of the flooding. He has been coming to the event for nearly two decades.
Loew says it's remarkable to see the water so high.
Holly Schafer says she brought her two kids from Milan to see the flooding in person, and it's amazing.
The river crested earlier this weekend at 20.94 feet at Davenport and it has been to decline, but it won't return to within its banks until later this month.

The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice (SRMHP) is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to distinguishing scientifically-supported claims from scientifically-unsupported claims in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, and allied disciplines.
The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice applies the best tools of science and reason to objectively evaluate novel, controversial, and untested mental health claims. Our purview includes claims regarding the efficacy of psychotherapies and self-enhancement methods, the validity of assessment instruments, and the scientific evidence for psychiatric diagnoses. We will reject no claims out of hand or prior to scientific scrutiny, although we will subject all claims to careful investigation and analysis.
The publication of SRMHP has been endorsed by the Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health, a panel that includes prominent psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and Nobel prizewinners.
