  • Long term interest rates outlook - NZ
    NZ - read this and learn - inflation rates will be down for 30-40 years so go out and buy a home, or float your interest rate. There is going to be a rise in rental yields, so you may as well do it now. We are not going to see inflation because China, India and others are resulting in a global oversupply of labour. Unions will probably disappear; but we will […]
  • Racism in NZ
    Racism is rife in NZ. Interestingly however it does not preclude you from surviving in this country. There are a number of strategies for avoiding it:1. Don't walk on sidewalks; as you stand a greater risk of copping a beer bottle in the back of your head.2. Deal in business through a local who gives you credibility. They will however extort a value fro […]

  • The threat of earthquakes in Tokyo, Japan
    Here is some important information for people buying property in Tokyo; and in fact anyone buying property in Japan. This story highlights the risks of buying property in Japan. There is an expected risk of 10,000 fatalities for a central Tokyo magnitude 7 earthquake. The good news is that the earthquake risk is not equal; and whilst anyone can be lucky or u […]
  • Japan's property - cheapest in the world
    According to a recent survey, Japan has the lowest housing prices in comparison to income. I encourage expatriates and Japanese people to look at the foreclosed property market because houses can be bought very cheaply through this route. I bought a 5br dormitory just 1hr train from Tokyo City Central in 2004 for just $US28,000. The nice aspect is that you c […]
  • Malaysia pursuing semi- retirement expatriate demand
    There are signs that there is going awareness of SE Asian governments in going after the high net worth individuals looking at retirement. Consider that if you have a $US 1million - you can retire in a place like Australia. You will of course have to place those funds into a fixed interest Treasury investment; with eventually some discretion to invest some i […]

  • Don't read too much into Chinese GDP figures
    Australian markets are down today. Not surprising - the commodity markets are down. The question is - should they be down? Well, the purported reason for them falling is the 'concrete' reason that China has just reported that it is forecasting annual GDP growth of 7.5% in 2012 rather than 8%. One has to be suspicious of this number however for a si […]
  • Focus on copper and nickel
    Keep an eye on commodities in these times - particularly copper and nickel, as they are always the first to respond to signs of life. You can watch these commodities at:1. Copper2.

  • Short term upside to gold
    You'd have to be a little more positive about gold at these times; principally for 2 reasons:1. Prospects for ongoing low interest rates2. Prospects of tensions in Iran, the Straits of Hormuz - as Iran borders the channel through which oil exports flow. This issue is of course escalating because Iran is building a nuclear weapon.The reality however for […]
  • Dubious outlook for metals
    The current gold market suggests we might be looking at a change in fortunes for the gold market. This next week will be telling; but we might be looking at an overall weak metals market. This would spell a more compelling argument in favour of agricultural commodities in the short term. The problem of course for gold - despite the debasement of global curre […]
  • The gold price set to rally in coming months
    I am expecting a rally in gold prices in the coming months as the central banks deal with their financial crisis. The gold price has been consolidating around $US1700/oz, and this is a support level. I am ultimately expecting the gold price to reach a level of around $2400/oz.Check out our gold equity blogs for the best entry into Australian and Canadian sto […]
  • Gold prices find support
    Gold fell to $1540/oz overnight before recovering to $1615/oz at the end of trading. As is typical with commodities, the spot price temporarily breached its support level of $1580/oz. We can expect to see the gold price consolidate at these levels before rising to new highs. Unsurprisingly, the Dow Jones Index is up 226 points today, after reaching an import […]

  • Is it a good time to buy Japan real estate?
    he recent devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Northern Japan was an incomprehensible disaster to millions of citizens worldwide. The footage of the entire devastation was recorded in real time in fact. Many were flabbergasted and heart-broken. Heart-wrenching stories about the fortitude of the Japanese people infiltrated the internet. Despite these r […]
