    Is it Dangerous To Be In Equities (Now)?

    November 23, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Today’s post is an expansion to a brilliant question from one of the social media groups that I subscribe to. Is it Dangerous To Be In Equities? To paraphrase, the original poster queries the majority of people in the FIRE community who have an asset allocation consisting of 100% in equities, a majority of which sits in index funds (ETFs). It seems like the narrative is “Buy equities, passively, at any price, indefinitely, and hold virtually no other assets, it’s all good coz you can’t beat the market, oh and lowest fees possible”. Occasionally with “use margin or other leverage to speed it up”. With equity…

    RBA Cuts Rate

    November 8, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes True to form, on Melbourne Cup day, the Reserve Bank of Australia cut the official interest rate by 0.15% to a historic low of 0.1%. Well, well, well – so they cut it again eh? Although to be fair, with Australia plunging into a Coronacession, and the likelihood of elevated unemployment numbers, the RBA is committed to doing whatever it can to support jobs and the economy.
