Senior Property Consultant
 

If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well and I strive to ensure that your selling experience is positive, enjoyable & successful. The best advice I can offer you is, “Do your research before you make a decision”! My job is to present you with the facts, offer you options and create the best solution to ensure the desired result and you will also “do it right the first time”.

Private Matters Issue 6, July 2010

After losing a bundle of cash in the South Sea Bubble economic shock of 1720, legendary scientist Sir Isaac Newton is reported to have commented: “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people”.
His words are a poignant reminder about financial crises – they happen over and over again. It is important, all the same, to learn from our experiences and to have a plan B in case the external economy rocks your internal economy – that is, your business.
This warning is especially relevant given further market tremors in June. We are coping with the aftershocks of European debt concerns and the possibility of a slower-than-expected economic recovery in the United States. These factors are keeping the pressure on businesses, governments and central banks.
Preparing for the worst

Chapman Commentary: Fixed rate savings
 
I’ve been on the fence for a while with this topic and with good reason, sometimes the “wait and see” method works…
In April 2009, I sent out a commentary (Rates are overrated) along the lines that fixed rates weren’t going to get much cheaper and I got lucky as shortly after, fixed rates went through the roof.
The good news is that in some ways, you didn’t miss out and below is why. Since the depths of last winter, we saw interest rates steadily climb upwards and about this time (July and August) I started taking plenty of calls saying “should I fix my rate?” The answer has usually been that fixed rates were very expensive and variable was still a good way to go. Further, where possible they should keep their rate variable but make additional repayments at the fixed rate (generally 3 year rate).
So here’s [...]

1 On 2 July 2010 the Government announced major changes to the proposed resource super profits tax, which has been re-named the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT). The changes from the initial tax include:
The MRRT will only apply to iron ore and coal in Australia
 • The tax rate will be 30%, rather than 40%
 • Small miners with profits less than $50 million a year will be exempt from the MRRT
• The existing petroleum resource rent tax regime will be extended to all Australian onshore and offshore oil and gas projects
 • The taxable profit will be that at the mine gate and not on the downstream processing or infrastructure
• MRRT losses will be transferable to other iron ore and coal projects in Australia, with unutilised MRRT losses carried forward at the government long-term bond rate plus 7%. This legislation will be introduced into the Parliament after the election.
