We always have market sceptics (including us at times) declare that there will be inevitable bear markets. However, we’ve had significant economic and social disruption in the form of a pandemic, and the volatility and uncertainty of President Trump. Still, the market continues to rise. In Mark’s latest column, he has explored the reasons for why the market continues to rise, and whether the trend will continue.
Stock market participants can broadly be split into two camps: investors and speculators. In the next edition of Bookworm, Joseph shows how Warren Buffett's teacher Benjamin Graham distinguished between the two in a single paragraph of text. He also poses a question that every budding investor should ask themselves, and shares his view on a five word approach to markets that Graham recommended.
Shani's last edition of her column looked at a tax targeting super accounts over $3 million. In this edition, she broadens the lens. Australia has a National Financial Capability Strategy, but it is inactive. She runs through the dire impacts that putting financial literacy on the backburner can have on Aussies. She writes an open letter to the newly re-elected Government, urging an immediate focus on improving financial literacy.
60% of Aussies report not feeling confident about managing their own retirement. The relationship between you and your super fund might end up being one of the longest relationships you’ll ever have. And just like life, you’re at liberty to chop and change as you go. But much like picking a good partner, who you start with matters. In this week's Young & Invested, Sim explores some of the things you should consider when picking between super funds.
