Have you ever wondered why the things that evoke the most passion or emotion in us… are usually known by four-letter words? Some of these include love, hate, fear, work and of course… Golf! Another emotion-charged four-lettered word that causes most of us to break into a sweat… is DEBT!!!

Mostly, we are conditioned to fear debt and avoid it at all cost. So why does debt propel one family to great riches… and another to poverty? How come the majority of wealthy people quite adequately manage large amounts of debt? Can debt be a positive thing to help us get ahead… or is it always a negative thing to be avoided? Before we can accurately answer this, we need to clarify our definition of debt!

Until late last year at mrd we were receiving around 1000 spam messages a day to all of our mail boxes collectively! As you may know, spam can be a huge time waster, deleting every piece of spam that comes into your inbox can be time consuming - and at mrd the previous few years were no exception.

Time used unwisely and spent without thought will make you a pauper and leave you with naught, but time that’s well spent will stitch upon stitch weave memories and dreams that will make your life rich.

Time is money, as they say. But yet many whittle away the hours without thinking of the value that has been cast away with every second. This does not mean that we should work each and every hour of the day. There needs to be an investment of time in leisure, fitness, relationships, further education and at times in doing absolutely nothing. Learn to say ‘no’ to the good in order to say ‘yes’ to the best. Invest in what is best for you and your life. Take time to smell the roses at times. When you work, work with all your heart and when you play, play with all your soul.

Happy Investing,

Nick Lockhart

A well know finance industry figure recently launched a series of seminars. After reading the professionally crafted sales email, designed to invoke fear and panic and have me rushing to attend his paid event, I decided to address what appears to be a case of insincere opportunism.

Studying the world of global finance since last year is his authority for making such predictions. He proposed failure within our financial system is so systemic it is irreversible;  concluding our property market would soon crash.

A man (or a woman) with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion.

Residential Real Estate Prices To Drop By Up To 40%; According To Some!

A History Lesson…

The worst excesses I have seen in the residential housing market was the selling of overpriced property through the 1990’s. Many people have heard of Two Tiered Marketing… where interstate and overseas investors paid a different price to what the locals were paying.

This practice came about as a result of greedy developers flooding markets, in particular the Gold Coast with more property than there was demand for. Driven by profit, rather than demand, the result was a massive oversupply of coastal high rises and Surfers Paradise became Renters Paradise. The law of supply and demand ensured that rents fell encouraging many disgruntled vendors to sell.

I was out last night but when I arrived home my wife was disgusted. Not with me; ha, ha… but with a report she saw on 60 Minutes. Katrina doesn’t usually get so fired up by these sorts of things, but she was really livid.
