    Complete Guide To Dividend Reinvestment Plans

    August 23, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Howdy all! Whoa, freezing me proverbials off here in Old Sydney Town at the moment, hope you guys are staying warm! I’m looking forward to next week, as it’s a well-deserved week off work to have some much needed R’n’R. When did life become so stressFUL these days, geebers. Mind you, would have liked to travel somewhere, say the Bahamas… but with COVID raging on, of course that’s not possible. I was actually searching where to go during my week off when an email notification popped-up about a dividend reinvestment plan approaching for one of my shares in the portfolio. What is a dividend reinvestment plan?…

    How Does Sentiment Affect Real Estate Prices?

    October 9, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes ARGH!!! “Shakes head vigorously” Brrr, bloody real estate. Really doing my head in. You see guys, I’ve got too much choice available at the moment. After our latest hunting trip back from the West Coast, I’ve drawn up about a dozen or so properties which I aim to make offers on. Mind you, not to acquire a dozen, I reckon one, hopefully two max.

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes And it’s back. Just when things were inching their way upwards. BAM. We get hit with another round of trade wars (wrote an earlier piece here), and now further interest rate cuts from a few of the central banks around the world… Looking decidedly SHAKY ain’t it? Suffice to say, yours truly has been caught up with the recent sell-off, down about 6 grand in the space of a week. Who said investing was easy! I find it a bit ironic that I place so much focus and attention to equities, considering it is a small fraction of the overall net worth yet has an enormous…
