My thoughts are that if Mr Trump spends his trillion $ on infrastructure and another trillion on the military then the world economy will boom......The stockmarkets will go up big time and the price of gold and silver will drop. If he does start spending these trillions then the time to buy gold...

I wasn't aware that K. Rudd was in Italy.....Is he now trying for the Vatican....

A friend has purchased a couple of coins from guy in Spain. Coins were packaged up and posted registered mail about 2 weeks ago. The sender has now advised that the package has been returned and he has been told that coins and other precious metals can't be sent via registered mail. Pics were...

You're right but it's something to read with my coffee..... I wouldn't take financial advise from any brokers either. Been burnt in the past.....

Reading the finance section of the weekend paper and looking at the stockbroking recommendations. One of these 2 guys must not have polished his crystal ball as 1 recommended ASX as a buy and the other as a sell. I guess maybe one should sell half and sit on the rest.....

Make that 3....

This referendum is happening in Switzerland this Sunday...... Have a read of the article and either laugh or cry...... http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/world-economy/switzerland-to-vote-on-universal-basic-income-in-referendum-on-sunday/news-story/37385386f57f383576cd9689afd13d5e

Has there ever been a Labor gov that doesn't spend every cent they can get their hands on......Wayne Goss was a good one but he had nothing on the self declared economic conservative K Rudd.... I guess they will again transfer a few billion $ of debt to some GOC and skite how good they are at...

You're right investment strategy depends on your age. I'm 63 and retired in 2007 so I was well past the age of looking at investments with a degree bit of risk. I was more interested in the income stream so went mainly for the blue chip stocks. Yes your capital amount can and does go up and down...

((((((((For $1.6 million to generate an income of $90,884 requires a 5.7% rate of return. Please tell me Scott, where we can get that rate of return?)))))) Someone need to see a financial advisor as a return of 5.7% is pretty low. Should be up around 9%........... I have a SMSF and retired...

My SMSF is going great guns. I'm mostly in the ASX top 50 companies that pay a great dividend compared to bank interest rates. Yes I will concede the with shares their capital value does go up and down BUT every time there has been a big market downturn it has come back up again and goes higher...

You'll find that issue was most likely a roll over of previous borrowings......

To me art is a bit like the fable about the emperors new clothes. I remember when the "great" Geoff Whitlam was prime minister in 1973 and authorized the purchase of an abstract called Blue Poles......I guess it is still hanging in Canberra. I saw it years ago and to me it looked like...

Can't say I'm all that worried about the market. It would be nice if it didn't go down but that's never going to happen.......Since time began the market goes up and and then down again and when it goes back up 95% of the time it exceeds the previous high. I sat out the GFC without selling...
