Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hola amigos! Been a crazy crazy few months – I know I have been slacking in regards to this blog dear readers, but strewth it’s been a whirlwind. Mainly to do with juggling two young ‘uns, the business and a whole raft of other bits and pieces which make this life oh so interesting. Finally have about 5 minutes to breathe, so Imma gonna punch out a short snappy post to try and catch you guys up (and also a bit of self-reflection). Given it is almost June 30, I’d thought it’s timely to post a half-yearly report with all the bells and whistles. Without further…

RBA Cut Rates Again!
Reading Time: 2 Minutes What’s up everyone! So yesterday the RBA cut its official cash rate by another 0.25% W00t!!! This drops it down to 3.85% and marks the 2nd cut in its current easing cycle which sees the nation’s official cash rate drop from 4.1% to its lowest level since May 2023. The decision was influenced by a combination of moderating inflation and emerging global economic uncertainties (aka Trump “cough cough”). The consumer price index, a basket of goods involving goods held in a basket, is a measure of inflation as experienced with consumers in their daily living expenses, dropped down to 2.4% which is in the RBA’s target…

Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hello all, It’s been a couple of weeks between posts! Truth be told the hiatus is mainly because we are dealing with a few matters in our personal lives at the moment.

So gee… a lot of catching up to do in the last month or so aye? WHAT A WHIRLWIND IT HAS BEEN. I thought it be best to try and do a short blurb of every notable…

Lessons from 150 years of Stock Market Tumbles
Reading Time: 2 Minutes I read an interesting article this week on lessons learnt through 150 years of stock market crashes. Albeit the article was skewed towards the US stock market, I still feel like the lessons are pertinent across any asset class. Especially as how the markets these days are looking CHOP-PEI to say the least. It also reminded me that it’s now marked 5 years since the depths of the COVID crash. 5 years… wow. Life’s certainly changed since. But enough nostalgia, let’s look back fondly on all the market crashes in the last century and a half: I think the main lesson is quite evident here, just…
