25.01.2022 Deep down we all know it and here is the research to prove it. You spend more with a credit card. http://thewealthguy.com.au/4-reasons-credit-cards-are-bad/

17.01.2022 This is a trend worth following. Take the impulse out of spending by using your cash instead of a credit card. The average Australian has $4,300 outstanding on their credit cards and pays $700 / year in interest. Plus research has demonstrated that you will spend 20% when using a credit card as opposed to your own money. So why have a credit card at all?

17.01.2022 Bob Doll got 8.5 / 10 for his investment market predictions in 2016, how will he go this year? Predictions for 2017 1. U.S. and global economic growth improves modestly and dollar strengthens (and reaches parity with the Euro);... 2. Unemployment drops to its lowest level in 17 years, and wages increase at the fastest pace since the Great Recession; 3. Treasury yields move higher (for a third consecutive year) for the first time in 26 years, and Fed raises rates twice; 4. Stocks hit their 2017 highs in the first half of the year as earnings rise but price/earnings multiples fall; 5. For the first time in 20 years, stocks outperform bonds for the sixth year in a row. Volatility rises, however. 6. Small-cap and value stocks, and cyclical sectors beat large-caps, defense and growth. 7. Financials, health care and information technology sectors outperform energy, utilities and materials; 8. Active managers performance improves as more funds flow into equities; 9. As pro-domestic policies are pursued globally, nationalistic and protectionist trends rise; 10. Initial optimism about the Trump agenda fades due to a slow legislative process. Doll says that he hit the mark on 8.5 of his 10 predictions for 2016 and that, looking forward from an investors viewpoint, a difficult investing environment requires selectivity. See more
