The doomsayers got it wrong AGAIN and are becoming like “the boy who cried wolf!”

I’m not sure about you, but nothing irritates me more than the doomsayers. That jump on the bandwagon or pretty much any negative World event. And use it as confirmation that the world economy is about to implode. The Brexit referendum (remember, a couple of weeks ago?) leaves the UK with a big question mark over its future – compounded by very weak leadership, but has had little impact on the overall equity markets and in particular, those in the US. The US has pushed up almost 5% from the late June low. And hardly crumbling to 6000 points as

What do Brexit, a bar of chocolate, buying a new car, and a Madrid Art Gallery all have in common?

No, this is not going to be a poor taste financial markets joke. But there is a very simple linkage between them. Which when you understand it. And could provide you with a very interesting financial opportunity. Before the opportunity, the background, and this dives into the area of neuro-finance. Anticipation is an incredible thing – the excitement, the wonder, the build up. When studying the human brain, how it works etc, the process of anticipation releases a chemical called norepinephrine. This surge in adrenalin creates tension and causes our heart rate, breathing and even blood sugar to change, all

Has Tesla NASDAQ:TSLA hit a big bump in the road?

One of my favourite trading stocks, and products for that matter, is Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). The California based electric car business really leads the pack in so many ways. Its products are safe – the Tesla X being one of the safest cars on the road today. They also have a very low environmental impact. And let’s face it, the cars are fast – insanely so!! So what has happened to the Tesla Motors Inc. NASDAQ:TSLA stock in recent sessions? Simple – the company is looking to acquire Solar City. A market leader in solar energy, with Elon Musk the

Make sure you do everything you can to Avoid “Financial Drift” if you want to Enjoy a happy, wealthy and exciting finish to this year

Can you believe we are almost at the end of the financial year! Crazy how fast life seems to pass by – one minute it’s Christmas, School Holidays, New Year’s resolutions and test cricket, now it’s chilly mornings, and half the year has gone. How are you going in terms of your financial goals? On target and crushing it, or have you fallen into a rut and started to drift? Its not unusual to drift a bit, as the year rolls on, but that drift can prove to be very expensive if left unchecked. Putting things off is easy and

Imagine if you had to choose between having more time or more dollars. Which would you choose and what if you could have both?

This is one of the biggest decisions we actually get to make in life. Sometimes, it is conscious and we actually choose. Other times, it is subconscious and we simply slip into a life of work. Routine and didn’t even realise it happened. Having more of both time and money is possible, but requires a different choice. And that is not swapping your time for dollars. Instead, going down the path of investing – having your money work for you, instead of your working for money. For some, this is a familiar path. One that may have been successful, while
