20.01.2022 The last five years have been difficult for investors. The global financial crisis (GFC) and its aftermath of private sector deleveraging, public sector debt problems and household, business and investor caution have led to poor and volatile returns from shares. It seems we are constantly on edge with prognostications of doom getting constant replay with every twitch in markets. Just like The Rolling Stones single last year all I hear is doom and gloom. Methods of investing... that seemed to work well for years have seemingly broken down, or at least many have lost faith in them. So what should investors do? The following is a list of things that are critical for investors to know and do. Obviously when it comes to investing, everything is debatable to some degree, but I hope you find this list to be of value. First, some investment market realities. http://www.ampcapital.com.au/olivers-insights/post

18.01.2022 Making private health insurance more expensive for those with unhealthy lifestyles isnt as simple a fix as it sounds. As the federal government defends its plans to trim the private health cover rebate, saying it will mean only a small increase in cost for most people, a new survey suggests support for what would be much more expensive health insurance surcharges for smokers, heavy drinkers and the obese.

18.01.2022 How do I do that? There are plenty of tips and each family is different, but the overwhelming consensus is that you start by talking openly about money with your children - making them part of the family finances. There was some debate recently about an initiative by the governments MoneySmart program to provide a package for teaching primary school children about basic money matters. But MoneySmart was spot on: the sooner your children learn good financial habits, the more likely they are to keep them when they get older.

15.01.2022 Retiring with plenty to do In the old days, retirement used to mean getting the garden organised and getting to read the paper every morning.

13.01.2022 Dear Tony and Julia, please sort out our super A letter from the average saver to our likely next prime minister and the current one, just in case. Dear Tony and Julia,... For the past month or so weve heard lots about whether superannuation should be taxed more or limited further. To be honest, were still not entirely sure where we stand. We know youve got budgets to balance, but can we skip the tax talk for a moment? We dont care which one of you does it but can you please improve the superannuation system?

08.01.2022 Is the bubble ready to burst? Weve all read the predictions time and time again; the Australian property market is on the verge of a crash. But we still love our property. In this article, the journalist takes an in-depth look at our market compared with the US market. Of course, in the US you can walk away from your mortgage; which doesnt happen here unless you claim bankruptcy that affects your life for years after.... Still it does present an arguable case - just make your cup of coffee before you sit down to read! http://www.moneymanagement.com.au//investment-man/2012/is- there-a-property-bubble-in-australia

07.01.2022 Cheap Insurance. Is it really worth the money? The cost of life insurance has been falling, and its easier than ever to pick up the phone or go online to obtain this and other forms of personal cover. Thats good news for Australias underinsurance problem. But alarm bells are starting to ring about just how low premiums can safely go, and about the potential for people to be sold the wrong product.

It may be time to come in for a chat.... http://www.standard.net.au//f/meet-your-financial-planner/ 2617328.aspx

01.01.2022 Topic of the moment Carbon Tax In July, we had the introduction of the Carbon Tax and the mineral resources tax. Two taxes which are dividing our nation politically. This is a good video about the tax from when it was about to be launched. Still worth a look at; especially if you have a small business.... Well see what happens over the coming months as we all work out the consequences. http://www.abc.net.au//uncertainty-reigns-over-ca/4099446
