Dow drops 1,000pts. Good time for a Greek holiday
What is going on..? If you follow the markets, you would have woken up to the shockwaves that happened on Wall Street last night. The Dow Jones was down an amazing 1,000 points in early trading! The biggest ever drop since the 1987 crash. WOW! The good news though is that it recovered and ended up 350 points down at the end of trading. There are not many days in the financial calendar where you would call a 350 point drop in a day a “good day.” However, after the shenanigans of the...

I’m confused, you probably are too if you are reading the headlines in the news again. “Buyers Retreating From the Market in Droves!” Now, last time I looked we were in a property boom, right? …and the last 12-18 months have been nothing short of sensational profit-wise, even if you have a small portfolio.

It seems to me that the year only just started yesterday. It’s amazing that we live in a country where we can take off a whole month and nobody will notice. I’m not complaining. I felt like a school kid on holidays (six weeks, and enjoyed every minute). But whilst on the break, my mind was turning and planning the year ahead… and I had what you call a blind flash of the obvious.
