    July 29, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Today’s post is a bit on the sombre side, courtesy of demographer Mark McCrindle regarding how the Coronavirus has affected different generations. According to his recent report, the age at which we’re exposed to a transformative event determines how embedded it will be in our psyche.

    Reading Time: 1 Minute Hello everyone! So the dreaded “R” word has finally come for Australia. Our federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg has confirmed that yes, we are in recession.

    Are Things Back To Normal?

    June 14, 2020

Case in point, there are now stocks whose prices are above their pre-covid levels! Stock A (well-known iron ore producer)   Stock B (lesser well-known IT company) Of course, these are only two companies – but if I dig deep enough, there are…
