forgot something:

I would do the positive gearing shares thing I mentioned, but I dont have the capital to produce enough income. I could borrow the funds, but no banks is going to approve something like that. Setting up a managed fund is illegal, though I could borrow money from anyone, and build my own fund. All depends how safe the lenders…[Read more]

I was told yesterday by a mortgage broker that banks will run away scared if you tell them you are a developer. Its too risky.

Trading packages costing $10k?

urgh.

RUN!

Those are black box systems, which claim to tell you when to buy and sell. They dont work, never have, never will. The ONLY way to make money trading is to LEARN it yourself. I have set myself up to school new traders but figured I would need to wait till the bear market ended. I have written a book…[Read more]

Deal for Free has recently changed a few rules:

– margin on indicies is now 1% (3%) aka 99% LVR
– indicies will soon be accumulation based, ie pay dividends. This is fabulous news. I was going to invest in the aussie index, but when paying 5.75% p.a in interest and getting no dividends, it was negatively geared. Soon it will be like a managed…[Read more]

if you couldnt see anything wrong with the HIH ONE or AMP charts 3 months before they collapsed, visit OPSM. The warning signs were there.

“But there are Big risks with the market in USA, P/E’s are very high and there is a risk that the market could easily fall 500-1000 points if the long awaited recovery doesn’t eventuate. And if Deflation hits then we are all in trouble, unless you have cash.”

Obviously you have some knowledge, which is good. I agree the p/e’s are high and a large…[Read more]

my figures are out of date? they will never be out of date. They are based on 350 years of HISTORY. Any idiot can look at the returns over the last 5 years and say property has done better in that period, its not rocket science is it.

If you dont believe us about the finance and gearing, fine. Perhaps you will wait till the market triples, when…[Read more]

Richo is on the ball.

Ive got nothing against property, but if wealth can be built quicker, easier and cheaper in shares why muck around?

History shows shares return 13% p.a while property returns 9%. A no brainer. Plus there are large costs and delays when investing in property. It is now possible to invest in shares at NO COST. Why waste 10%…[Read more]

You will notice every property boom comes 2 years after a stock market correction. Its simply investors chasing returns. Soon, the U.S economy will take off, investors will poor money into stocks. The booming economy will send interest rates skyrocketing. When rates are 0.75% as they are now, they can easily jump 10-fold. Property investors will…[Read more]
