A lot of ‘media experts’ are of the opinion that the inflated Aus $ of recent months was one of the reasons the Reserve Bank held off from raising interest rates. That along with the ‘interest rate slap’ of the end of the year did stifle some confidences around town.
The dollar retreating (against US$) tends to indicate a growing US economy and the increased likelihood for a rate rise in the US, amongst other things.
But back to Redwing, I have just fixed one of my loans for three years that ends its honeymoon period in the next few day to hedge against my interest rate predictions.
And – am currently tidying up books for the end of the financial year.
Things seem to be changing as of late from what i read in the papers,A “pile’ of Dollar$ was wiped off the Stock market according to Saturday paper, Oil/Fuel prices rising, some shares retreating, just wondering if rates will rise again, i think maybe yes in a few months..
i’m sorting out Tax paper work, doing up babies room, working and sorting out next deal..

Does that mean you want to take me up on my offer? [biggrin]
The situation is ALWAYS changing…..it’s not worth stressing over
BTW, looking at oil prices, doesn’t it make sense to invest in energy stocks
I’m seeing my accountant this week as I do every May to work out what I need to do between now and June 30 to improve my tax position. I’ve paid a fair bit of tax this year, so pre-paying some of next year’s interest will be one outcome. And of course I’ll be whipping up some Tax Depreciation Schedules on properties I’ve bought in the last 12 months.

Just spoke to my accountant this morning re my 02/03 tax return. He told me that I made a ‘loss’ of $120K on my properties in that year. Adding to some courses I am claiming, my taxable income for year 02/03 will be -$100K!! Woo hoo for me. Some huge losses to carry forward to this year where I’ve got a reasonable capital gain….. Plus earnt a big income due to being paid out my Rec Leave and LSL in one hit[]
Cheers
