Melbourne is in a recession 

Hey My Freckle,
Long time no speak, I am not longer at my other company, here is my new email for you anyway jpsaila@au.hellmann.net

On Thursday their is going to be some big news with Qantas and with any one saying that the Australian economy is looking good are not only lying to other but themselves.

My two favorite comments that i have ever see are here lol
1) joe – I love what you said take the banks down with you lol
2) dark night – harvey dent was known as two face, so you  are right about tursting…..

Any investment has its own risk, there will be times when prices go up, remain stable and the same.
If property goes down 30% the only…[Read more]

Hi Peterin,

The likes of Jamie, mark and Richard have been active members on this site for years – they dont need to throw mud at competitors they are just sharing their vewis, I just realised that you have only joined on this site today?

Great one catalyst, people wonder why there is so much red tape, because dummies lol want dummies trust 

People are starting to "be to creative"…
your trust will require initial "setup" not cheap, you will also have ASIC cost, lodge a return on the trust "etc" 
as you are living in the house the house will become your ppor….
Like terry said income tax would apply to the trust but my question is what income will the trust be…[Read more]

Why not borrow funds from oz?

Hi Joey,
Why is your ip paid off and not your ppor? Really good question!!!

1) I bought this house when i was 20, and I paid it off within a few years… The rent just paid it off.
2) Because i went into business for my first time, I needed a safety net, I have seen so many people who have lost their homes because they have put all of their eggs…[Read more]

One question who did you buy the property tgrough

Why woud I buy a Holden?

Forward thinking companies!!

Hi jacm 
cotton have been there for years, they are on of my clients…
Also majority of there staff, don't live in Geelong.

With Holden closing down, other companies will follow, especially  companies who may do work with Holden.

To say the least job losses vs job creation are know where near aligned, job losses are still overtaking job…[Read more]

Hi, great topic to start with.
If any one says that the current job losses won't have a impact, then they must be experiencing a bit of  Pychosis.
There are plenty of companies closing or reducing head count.

How will this effect any investment veichale : capital growth will be limited in most states
but I think there is going to be allot of good…[Read more]

Hi RC388,

Steve's book information is honestly out dated, sure there are some good hints and advice but the way of doing business has changed.
Firstly you have to ask your self who are you trying to protect your self from by having a "trust".

The best way to get the right advice is to contact some one like Terry on this forum.  He is the master…[Read more]

1) Long term capital growth shares: Which provide dividends x 2 per year
2) Short term shares, I purchase shares that fluctuate with the market

Difference between Casino and Shares, if i go to the Casino I cant minimize my risk, because once its land on the opposite color im stuffed.

With shares just…[Read more]
