Good Morning Reader,
How have you faired during the worst financial crisis in 80 years?
- If you have managed to preserve the majority of your investment capital you have done well, very well.
- If you are still securely employed you are also fairing better than thousands of your fellow Australians.
- And if you have a loving family that has not been financially torn apart through "betting big" in the last bull-run then you are truly blessed on a global scale.
Those that have preserved the majority of their capital base resisted the temptation to invest heavily throughout 2006 & 2007 - either through luck, rational investment principles, or sound advice.
People, companies, and countries have been devestated by the ripple effect of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
We have all seen and heard the horror stories both locally and globally - massive job losses from failed companies, overwhelmed money managers taking their own lives, bankrupt governments, home foreclosures, and the spread of paralysing fear among investors.
Now, with a three month rally in global stock markets, the question on most investor's minds is, "Does this Stock Market rally signal the end of the Global Financial Crisis or is this just a sucker's rally within a much longer bear market?"
We address this plus the key investment themes for 2009 and the next decade.
