    A Conversation Between Two Punters About Coronavirus

    March 12, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes What’s up people! Of course, the word on everyone’s mind is “Coronavirus”. Boy, has the market been smashed!!! Yours truly is staring down the barrel of some whooper losses. Oh dear, oh dear. So what to do? Should we sell? Should we buy? WHAT? Well, I was talking about this with my e-penpal and thought it would be interesting for everyone if I shared our conversation. I haven’t told my penpal, but I’m pretty sure he won’t mind. TFS: Thoughts on the latest? Penpal: This seems like the biggie I’ve been waiting for. My mental model on this is based around: Back in early Jan I…

    Coronavirus – Time to Panic?

    March 5, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Hey let’s have pasta tonight?”  “Sure”. And so off I went, like any good husband. In search of pasta. Lo and behold the sight that befell me at the shops: CLEANED OUT. Goodness, what is going on you ask? It’s because we are in PANIC MODE people. Coronavirus fever has well and truly hit. Now, I posted a couple of weeks ago on it (read here, and here) and it’s time to do an update. Because times have significantly changed since then. I’ll preface the below with the statement that it is my opinion only. You can agree, you can disagree but I hope you get…

    Global Total Returns 2019

    January 8, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Howdy everyone! It’s going to be a bit visual today, with a couple of graphs showing what the different returns for different asset classes were for 2019… I did a similar post on this last year which highlighted 2018 vs 2017 here. First, here are the stock market returns for 2019 vs 2018: Well done to Russia, IT and Greece. Polite applause to Poland, Chile and Argentina for participating. Although it must be said that looking back, 2018 was a fairly abysmal year, and that 2019 was much better across the board. Just goes to show that markets move in cycles – and unless you have…

Most know what Berkshire Hathaway is, which is the company Buffet owns to, y’know, buy stuff. But did you know that the return for those investors who were at the beginning of Berkshire Hathaway (in its current form) from 1965 to 2018, is a whopping… 2,472,627%… um wow. Compare that to the S&P 500 which returned just over 15,000%…

    Here we go again…Down $6k, What Next?

    August 8, 2019

    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…
