Wild Ride Starting to Reap Rewards

Geelong Advertiser - 16 Feb. 13

In August last year I wrote an article for the Australian Securities Exchange, and produced a recording titled the Best Time To Invest In 40 Years. At the time, I suggested that while there was a possibility our market may fall further, I believed it was quite near the time for the market to become very bullish again, even if it did fall in the short term. In looking at what has occurred, the market did not fall, but it has become quite bullish. The question on my mind is how many people have taken advantage of this new bull run...

Money on Tap: How to Create a Cash Flow Pipeline

Women's Agenda - 12 Feb. 13

Imagine if you could simply turn on a tap whenever you needed money and it just poured out in whatever quantity you wanted. Turn the flow down when you need a small amount of cash and open it right up when you need more. If this was actual reality then any concerns you might have about money would be a thing of the past and you would feel secure in your financial future. But what would you do with the money? Most people I ask can list four or five things they would do without giving it a great deal of thought. he challenge is that the majority of people struggle to ever get enough money to get those five things...

Brokers Ready to Run With the Bulls as Drought Ends

The Age - 10 Feb. 13

In a note to clients, Dale Gillham, the Chief Analyst at private investment company Wealth Within, wrote: "This week our market has risen again, which takes the current bullish move to 10 weeks in length. In fact, bull runs of at least 10 weeks in length without at least one down week have occurred in 1987 just before the crash, in 1993 and 1997. "The longer the rise the higher the probability a fall will occur, and right now price is close to resistance at 4900 points and very strong resistance at around 5000 points. Given these factors I believe a turn to the downside is very close, and as such, investors might be wise to wait for the opportunities that a down move...

Shares should be front of mind

Geelong Advertiser - 26 Jan. 13

Months ago I mentioned that markets had moved past the time when investing in cash was wise, and that we had entered the part of the investment cycle when investors needed to look at the share market again. Right now, interest rates and cash returns are at all time lows and, if recent reports are correct, are likely to fall further this year. When one investment "vehicle" subsides it creates opportunities in other areas. However, most people fan to recognize this and therefore fan to achieve their goals. Wise investors know that they should always be looking at the next stage of the investment cycle for opportunities...

Investment Unlocking the Secret to Wealth

Smart Company - 23 Jan. 13

But how do you know when prices are near lows and likely to rise, and when will they most likely fall? The answer is cycles. We only have to look around to know that cycles exist – for example, the moon has a cycle that affects crops, tides and human emotions. Economic cycles, business cycles, share market cycles and property market cycles are all influenced by human behaviour. In the share market we have cycles lasting from minutes to centuries, running from low to high and back to low, with some important cycles being every four, 18 and 40 years...
