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…

Picture Perfect – a holiday in the Cotswolds
I recently went back to Europe and spent a significant amount of time in the Cotswolds.

Opportunities for manufacturing Australia’s SSNs

Finding truth in the shadows of social media
Time spent on a screen is becoming the norm, with people commonly spending several hours on social media per day.

Education, Education, Education
I recently shared my thoughts on the declining education standards in Australia and New Zealand in a piece in The Spectator Australia. It seems to me that we have become distracted and moved away from the core subjects, including English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and Languages.

Sydney Town – sharing my first impressions of a new home city.
I recently relocated from Queensland to New South Wales and, wow, did it feel like moving country! The two states are at least each the size, if not larger, than most countries in Europe and Sydney has for a long time been voted one of the most liveable cities in the world. Here are my…
