Blew my mind though that a pretty standard Buffet trait of buying something just after a massive correction/deflation, (US housing in this case) could be read as opportunities in the Australian housing market.

No doubt there are always opportunities if one does the research, knows the right people and looks hard enough. But is that…[Read more]

But at the moment I am under30 and looking to travel via working and volunteering as much as possible, and will continue to do this while I can still get temporary work visas with ease. That’s why I like…[Read more]

What you have to do now is a bit of research on house price movements and then speculate.

If you decide the prices will go up in comparison to your alternative investment then you would buy.
If you decide the prices will go side ways in and your other investment will go up, then…[Read more]

I am now the owner of Paladin Energy (PDN.ASX), great depth can be taken in researching stocks and can be quite daunting if you know nothing about…[Read more]

But it doesn’t encourage blind optimism in the market, and ridicules concepts such as dollar cost averaging. It encourages research and accessing the knowledge of professionals.

So one could easily with the rich dad attitude choose not to invest in RE at the moment.

Are you willing to Change a Winning…[Read more]

If this does happen I hope Australia learns off Ireland and does not back the banks, but rather sets up its own bank or starts selling bonds to fund the drastic stimulus that will be required… Hopefully in infrastructure and not Harvey Norman.

Does anyone know the % of negatively geared investment properties, compared to those without negative gearing?

Also another interesting question, does anyone know what other countries have similar policies?
