Summer in New York, Washington and Dallas?
I had the pleasure of visiting the US in June this year and visited New York and Washington for the first time for an investing event at the Nasdaq. You can find my latest piece for Cove Magazine, Queensland’s best luxury property and vacation magazine. I enjoyed the visit to the US so much that…

Are we due another rate cut?
With another RBA rate call on the horizon, on 1st April, the debate about whether or not a cut will be warranted is very much under consideration. CPI is down to 2.4%, yet the probability of a recession in the US has increased. You can find my forecasts and thoughts in my latest piece for…

Can the Australian economy really emulate America?
If economics are what you are interested in (I realise that they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but they do deserve some credit, as they underpin every other form of policy out there), you might like to read about how we can increase productivity sustainably.

With inflation starting to stick and to stay above 3%, we could try each of the one percenters, which don’t jeopardise every individual, to bring it…

A serious decline in the number of babies being born in Japan has led to the situation, which we can now see its economy in. The…

Brace Yourself
With inflation having fallen further in Australia and the AUD/USD exchange rate also having fallen, you can find my thoughts on what the quickest, least uncomfortable way for the RBA to bring inflation down could be in the first half of 2024. How can we get to 2-3% as quickly as possibly with the least…

Don’t get comfy….
My latest piece for The Spectator Australia discusses the option of curbing interest rate rises for the remainder of the year, allowing households and businesses to enjoy the holiday season. With CPI falling and the effects of previous interest rate rises falling into place, I argue that there is no need for further rate rises…
