That's a new loan, called an equity loan, which is secured by your home. Interest on that will be tax deductible and you can use the funds to buy...
I have a question about positive skew, and how LICs are supposedly at a disadvantage to ETFs because of it. If a company like AFI had a set rule...
I calculated the yield myself based on excluding the special dividend. Basically (0.037+0.03625)/1.48 to get the yield before franking, and then...
Can anyone give me a good reason not to plough right into BKI tomorrow? Yes, they dicked with their shareholders last year, but at this price with...
We live in QLD and have 6 x 250W panels, with a 1.6kW inverter. I'm looking into getting more panels to try to reduce our bills further, but the...
NTA Tracker MLT for the win. @Realist35 For the ones that aren't there you'll have to calculate them. :)
What are people's opinions on holding VAE or similar as a long term investment, and do you? My wife and I are both 36, and have good Aussie LIC...
The one I topped up in is IOZ, which tracks the ASX200. The iShares website would have good information about it, as well as ETFWatch. The...

It was definitely a quant of a thing to read.
@BPhil thankyou so much for your patient response, and in particular that last article. Reading it closely, I'm not sure it actually supports what...
Thanks to @Globetrekker and @Goodison for your patient replies to what was perhaps a stupid question. Your answers make far more sense than other...
I have a question for the brains trust, and as far as I can tell this is the best place to ask it. If I want to invest for a child from age 0...
I'm not an expert, but as far as I can tell from reading different articles, this is what happens. I'm happy to be wrong. How tax effective are...
Good point. For those people who buy regular parcels they would save a stack on brokerage. I've just started looking at the Vanguard Diversified...
Do what works for you, but to me 0.9% MER seems exorbitant for an index fund! That's more than you'd pay for some of the investment bonds. I don't...
