Why Cocky Investors Should Eat Humble Pie

Money Magazine - 23 Jun. 23

Dale Gillham author and chief analyst at Wealth Within gave his expert opinion to Money Magazine. He said, "We all know that investing is essential to long-term wealth creation, as it can be a very rewarding and potentially lucrative venture. But I was surprised when I was presenting to a large audience of entrepreneurs last week that while some were underconfident, many others were overconfident, which makes me wonder which is better." Being underconfident means the investor is more conservative in their approach, as they prefer to invest in assets that are deemed safe.

Gillham says investors typically receive more in dividend income from shares than they would in interest if their money was in a bank account.

Money Magazine - 12 May 23

Money Magazine ran an article based on Wealth Within's chief analyst at Dale Gillham, and here is what he had to say about what recession would mean for the ASX "This week economists were predicting that there is an 80% chance that Australia could fall into a recession. This normally evokes fear in investors, as they become more cautious and uncertain about the economy. A recession is generally defined as a period of economic decline, which typically involves lower economic activity, rising unemployment, and falling consumer and business confidence.
