Have you looked into a business coach/consultant type of business (Brad Sugar’s Active International or Icon are two that come to mind).
I don’t know much about these but the start ups are similar to mortgage choice, however you are dealing with businesses and don’t need to rely on a thrid party (Bank). The skill you need is to be a good communicator and help improve peoples businesses.
Anyone else on the board know much about Business Coaches????
I’m looking at doing my first seminar and Ed Burton’s looks the goods. What sort of products does he try and peddle at his seminar?
Are there any other seminars/courses/books you would recommend other than Ed’s. I’m looking at all types of investments both property and non property.
Have you attended any of Ed Burton’s seminars? If so what are your thoughts.
Also, when you were investigating investment opportunities did you ever examine equities. If so what turned you off? I just feel with the market so hot right now the economkic clock is telling me to move away from Real Estate and shift into equities. Your thoughts on this are also welcome.
Your book and this site are a credit to you. Keep up the great work.
Franking credits are really just income Crashy, they should theoretically be treated identically. The fact that taxman has already been given it doesn’t really alter that fact. You can pretend it has a different flavour, but that’s really just psychological.
Taxman, the figures for 15% will not be exact because I believe you only get a 33.33 % CGT discount under super, not 50% as for individuals. I couldn’t be bothered fixing it as I’m in enough trouble for being on here too long. Crashy you’ve been here too long also!

Jim,
You sure know your stuff. Three questions for you:
1) I’m really keen to start investing into equities. What recommended readings/sites/courses would you recommend? How did you get started.
2) Are you also investing in investment properties or are shares your forte?
3) What is the most suitable structure with which to purchase shares in order to maximise nett after tax gains. I’m a PAYG with a salary of $150K, married with children.
Sorry Paul I didn’t realise you were crashy.
Your course sounds quite interesting.
Below is a response I received from another board member regarding investing $200K of drawn down equity:
“If you refinanced $200,000 and wrote covered calls on blue chip shares, you would be looking at about $4,000 to $8000 per month return. And if you used margin you can double that”
I don’t understand much of it, but is that the sort of stuff I can expect to learn from your course?
Its great people like you are prepared to teach others.
CHeers,

“I’m looking at learning a lot more about creative share investing and would like any sites/course/seminars you could recommend.”
Ummm….I assume you mean other than mine? LOL, not sure I want to recommend the competition, though I know there is nobody promoting my sort of stuff. Check out my site listed at bottom.
“I need to know realistically what sort of returns I could expect if i invested $200K”
Well $200k in a basic bank share will earn around 7%, thats $14k a year…..juice it up with some of my strategies and 40% is not too hard, thats $80k p.a.
I wouldnt worry about the NAB instalments, NAB is a great stock. Maybe buy more?
CNBC – Comedy, Nuthin But Comedy
Those clowns are the laughing stock of the industry.
re international vs local……I teach about local stocks & strategies.
I like your suggestion. Could you direct me to a web site/book/course/seminar where I can learn more about equity investing?

I have to be honest I don’t really understand much of your strategy.
I’m looking at learning a lot more about creative share investing and would like any sites/course/seminars you could recommend.
I’ve recently bought $15KNAB macquarie installment warrants after attending the Macquarie evening. Performance has been up and down and I am currently down 20%.
I earn $150K salary and was tossing up between IP ( doesn’t look all that attractive at the moment), borrow and invest in a Franchise small business that I could have run under management or learn and invest into equities. My leaning is currently toward the last option so I need to know realistically what sort of returns I could expect if i invested $200K (drawn down equity) into various equity vehicles.
I attended a CNBC share seminar about a year ago but it just looked too easy. i was considering doing a Safety In the markets course. I just don’t know whether this is the right tact to take to learn how to “safely” invest in equities.
Any advice you can provide would be greatful.
Cheers,
W
P.S.: Do you only deal in local equities or do you also trade internationally?
Could you also tell me what the investment to attend was.
I also note you are a big supporter of Ed Burton. I recently attended one of the freebie intro seminars held by Break Free PTY. I can’t remember the guys name but he was reallly fat. He wanted $3K to attend. But the cost of Burton seems more reasonable @ $1.4K.
