2008 in
review:
A
review of 2008 really starts mid to late 2007, it was around September when
Vantage warned its clients that a potential credit crisis was surfacing in
America with increasing defaults in what is now known as subprime
lending.
By December 2007, Vantage’s was one of the very few advisors who
recommended their clients to sell out of the Australian stock market and
move into cash as this financial crisis started to infect the
world. To learn more click here>

The
benefits of running a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF), commonly known as DIY
Super, are growing on Australian investors.

the losses reported by major funds as a result of the global financial crisis.

Quote of the Month
"People
often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do
something, it makes me incapable of doing it.
But
when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have
it in the beginning"
Mahatma Gandhi
