Noel News- By Noel Whittaker The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe experience is a substitute for intelligence. LYMAN BRYSON Welcome to our September newsletter – it’s amazing how quickly time passes. It was in my February newsletter that Covid-19 got its first mention, and then in the March newsletter I wrote: “What we are facing now is far worse than the GFC and I believe it will change many people’s behaviour for the rest of their lives. During the GFC, business kept on going – now it’s been stopped dead. A few months ago, we were talking about a balanced budget – now we face the perfect storm of businesses everywhere going broke, hundreds of thousands of people out of work, and the government pumping everything it can to try to save the economy. ...

Noel News There’s only one thing that stands in the way of allowing our goals to become our reality: ourselves. DAVID MELTZER Source:Noel News Welcome to our August newsletter. The two most unexpected things of the last month have been, first, the worsening situation in Victoria and, second, the strength of local and international share markets. What has happened in Victoria is a stark reminder of how bad things can get if they are allowed to get out of control. Of course, as I have said repeatedly, the aftermath of covid will be felt by us all for years to come. My wife Geraldine and I have spent most of the last three months at our Sunshine Beach home as I’m furiously working to finish my new book, Retirement Made Simple, which will be released in time for Christmas. ...

Noel News – By Noel Whittaker We gain the strength of the temptation we resist. RALPH WALDO EMERSON Welcome to our seventh newsletter of the year. It’s hard to believe that June 30th is already a memory, and we are now in July speeding towards December. I guess the big surprise since I last wrote to you is the situation in Victoria – all the indications are that it will get worse before it gets better. It is particularly scary when you consider that Victoria is responsible for 40% of Australia’s economic output. This will be a further blow to our budget. You may recall that many of the stimulus measures were supposed to finish in September but now look like being extended. I’m particularly concerned about homeowners who have taken the six months loan holiday with the result that interest is being capitalised on their mortgage. Unless they have the ...
“Noel News” from Noel Whittaker Successful investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. WARREN BUFFETT Welcome to our fifth newsletter for 2020, and our fourth newsletter since Covid 19 became big news. It’s interesting to reflect on how much has happened in the last three months, and to think about the way headlines have changed from warnings of thousands of people dying in Australia, to how quickly we can make it back to normality. As long-term readers know, I am a glass-half-full person, but I have great trouble getting optimistic about the rest of the year. And I’m especially worried about September – this is when Jobkeeper will cease, the rate of payments for Jobseeker will reduce, and everybody who is on some kind of ...
