Hi All,[biggrin]

I was trying hard to warn people about it using maths and other “black magic” stuff that was beyond the comprehension of many of the forumites (you being one of them),

I can see that you do your research very well

bugger…wrong link

I can also see that your research about ASIC, (incidentally on the topic that you introduced)…[Read more]

Hi All,[biggrin]

ASIC thought something was amiss at Westpoint as early as Feb 2004 but they ran into some jursidiction problems and didn’t/couldn’t do much. Likewise there have benn some other stories recently on how they have ignored or failed to act on companies that looked pretty shady from anyview point.

Nat,

I am puzzled why you have…[Read more]

Hi Redwing,[biggrin]

I don’t go to wealth creation seminars, as under the Financial Services Reform Act they are only allowed to talk in generalities and includes a fair dose of claptrap.

Remember Wealth Creators usually know how to press their audience’s greed buttons and play down risk factors. Please bear this in mind when attending…[Read more]

HI Terry[biggrin],

You say that a trust give no added protection. But what if someone is pursued by ASIC for corporations offences and is basically sued? Having their personal assets owned by a trust would surely add extra protection in this case.

Are you discussing a trust that owns assets, or a company owning the assets and the trust owns the…[Read more]

Hi All,[biggrin]

Is there a need for a Trust structure?

Addressing the potential of being sued?

It seems a popular ‘fad’ amongst accountants currently to sell a Trust structure on the basis of providing asset protection alone. Since Accountants may not be universally trained, or up to date in commercial law, they often miss what the full…[Read more]

Hi all[biggrin]

I have been criticized both here and thru private messaging by one individual who states in a private message to me;

Be very careful..the product does not work and never will…if you think it does and start representing as such, any credibility you have will be gone forever.
Show me your proof that it does not work.

Hi All,[biggrin]

I’ve taken a while to recontribute to the forum as I was pondering how to get across the point that risk, or even a discussion about it is not negative, but is simply a matter of identifying what the risk is, and by doing so recognize it and be able to take early preemptive action to mitigate or prevent its affects on us.…[Read more]

Hi all,[santa] [party] [xmas]

I went thru a phase of poverty in life when I was studying financial planning and my wife was finishing her masters. I now work and she is on a PhD scholarship which doesn’t provide a lot of money. During the poverty phase we purchased Christmas decorations during January saving up to 2/3rds of their cost. We stor…[Read more]

Hi zen,[biggrin]

Did I read less than 3 percent drop in the last 12 months? I don’t know anything about property in Victoria but a drop of that size is not alarming considering how much it has gone up. I really don’t know who to believe, some say 10 – 15% drop some say still holding up. What is going on???
Your confusion stems…[Read more]

Hi All,[biggrin]

A little bored Bryce?
Hi crashy,[biggrin]
I agree and will try and make them shorter. History is dull reading for some people and yet we often use historical data to analyze situations. I also notice that your posts have been less fiery since March. (#;! $# ASIC)

Hi All, [biggrin]

Awareness of risk is a necessary part of living; it is part of our lives and we use it subconsciously in most of our daily living activities such as driving, cooking, working, etc.
When it is stated that risk is inherent to all investing and that the amount of risk is proportional to return, it does not mean that because there…[Read more]

If anyone’s worried about interest rates hitting 8 or 9% why wouldn’t you fix for the attractive 3 year rates that are being spoken about in other threads?
This very question had me puzzled, as it is in direct conflict with the economic views expressed in the prior posting. The ANZ Bank for example offer a 10…[Read more]

Hi resiwealth,[biggrin]
How do you stop Australians spending instead of saving, in my experience the majority of people at the end of the day will tell you to jack off?

You make some very true and pertinent comments in your reply. However I find a lot of people tell me to jack off as soon as they find out I’m a financial planner.
