    Farewell 2018

    December 31, 2018

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes Well guys it’s finally here aye. The end of 2019. Had to happen of course, I mean each year is the beginning of the rest of our lives and all that. In a bit of a philosophical mood as you can tell, just finished reading a post from a blogger who I respect and follow about his 2018. It was a fairly reflective and raw piece, he’s achieved a lot, said a lot, done a lot – but you know I get the feeling that he’s not satisfied a lot. At least that’s what I’m reading it as, could just be that he’s becoming more grumpy…

    Christmas Karma!

    December 23, 2018

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up guys! Are we all enjoying the holidays? I hope you guys are! Cos geebers, you wouldn’t believe the week I was having – just frigging WOW. Boy am I glad to see the back of that one. It was only when a work colleague mentioned on Friday that we are in the last week until Xmas, that I looked up from my desk and realized, SHIT it’s true! So why was the week so shitty? Cos every friggin client decided the last working week of the year was the perfect time to come out from the woods and complain about this and ask about that.…

    Top Three Stocks for a Bear Market (From a GUEST WRITER!)

    December 19, 2018

    Reading Time: 5 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s your week going, year end is fast approaching GO GO GO! Haha, feels a bit like that doesn’t it? Something a bit different in today’s post – we have a guest blogger to wrap up the final part of our Bear Market Series (read the previous ones here, here, here and here). It’s Tom from www.investmentbasecamp.com Tom writes about investing, personal finance and building your retirement portfolio. He’s not sure why, but people seem to think he makes sense when he talks about investing and personal finance (haha, good one Tom!) His Quora answers in finance and investing received over 180,000 views in…

    2019 Sydney Property Outlook Part 2

    December 16, 2018

    Reading Time: 5 Minutes Howdy guys! Good to be back in front of y’all on this sunny Sunday! I was getting a bit carried away with Netflix in bed there for a sec (will Mowgli ever re-join the pack? SO intense). But as much as I’m enthralled with the latest adaption of the Jungle Book and wolves with British accents, I think it’s time to get back to the second part of the Sydney Property Outlook (read part 1 here). My opinion was and still is that 2019 will be a tough year for real estate in Sydney, here’s further reasons why that’ll be the case: Brexit and the Trade…

    2019 Sydney Property Outlook Part 1

    December 12, 2018

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hi guys! How’s everyone coming along, we all having a good week? Bit of a mad rush for meself to be honest. Lets out a BIG gulp of air – wheeeew. I think it’s got something to do with Xmas just around the corner, damnit if I ain’t looking forward to some quality R&R. Despite all this, it’s hard to not feel a bit of Christmas Cheer, you can see it in the faces of strangers everywhere you go.  Tell you what ain’t so cheery though, something which is hammered again and again with increasing frequency by the media… …The Sydney housing market of course!  We’ve…
