In this July newsletter, we have a look at the financial year that has just ended. And, when we compare residential property and the share market (Australia’s two largest investment markets), we see a marked contrast: a great year for share market investors, not so great for residential property investors. Unless they invest in Hobart. Indeed, Hobartians with a decent share portfolio should be the happiest people in the country right now.
Welcome to our April newsletter. March was quite a month on world share markets, with the US’ introduction of trade tariffs spooking shareholders in that country and others, including Australia. Our market fell, but by nowhere near as much as the US market. What will happen next? In property, prices continue to cool in Australia’s largest markets. Is this a peak or a plateau? Read on to find out.
This newsletter continues our focus on using the current state of the markets to teach our readers more about investing. The share market had a sharp fall and a gradual rise during February – read on to find out more.
Welcome to 2018! This is our first newsletter for the year and we take the opportunity to wish you all the very best for the coming 12 months. This newsletter includes a property and share market update, and we are releasing it at the same time as we are releasing our updated Guide to Negative Gearing, which you can access from our website.
In this newsletter, we run the ruler over the property and share market returns not just for this month but for this entire year. We also reproduce some articles on behavioural finance that we recently published on our website.
In this newsletter, we look again at the property and share markets, examining a recent reduction in auction clearance rates and what that might mean for demand across Australia’s housing markets. We also explore the role of banks in the Australian sharemarket, using them to explain why the month of October was a good one for Australian shareholders.
In this newsletter, we look at some intriguing data from Australia’s capital city property markets. Put simply, when we join the dots on a few important pieces of economic data, we can see that there has never been a better time to be an Australian. We also look at the Australian sharemarket’s performance in the month of September. It’s not a long look though, because the market was wonderfully boring during that month.
In this newsletter, we look at ‘who’s who’ in share investing. Specifically, we talk about who you are likely to be buying from or selling to when you invest directly in shares. We also examine the Reserve Bank’s recent decision on interest rates and recommend an approach that we think will suit anyone with debt.
