The Mortgage Minefield

Last May, the Reserve Bank shattered the optimistic view held by some that interest rates would stay low forever (or at least a few more years). The bank has raised the official cash rate eight times in eight months, and lenders have been quick to follow with mortgage rate rises of their own.

The Year Ahead - What we already know

Some years ago, when the Aussie Dollar was trading at $0.88, a number of leading economists were asked for their twelve-month forecasts. One confidently said our dollar would reach parity with the US dollar within a year. Instead, the AUD finished the year 34 per cent down at $0.58. Making economic predictions is fraught with peril. Economics is more art than science, and a modern economy has many moving parts that don’t always behave rationally. Still, looking ahead in 2023, there are some things we can reasonably expect.

The Best Investment - Ever

Have you ever wondered what the best share market investment of all time is? It’s not Apple, the world’s first trillion-dollar business. It’s not Meta Platforms Inc (the company formerly known as Facebook) either, although plenty of people who ‘liked’ Facebook enough in the early days to invest in it have become millionaires.

The rise of central bank digital currencies

The Reserve Bank of Australia is running a pilot to explore retail use cases for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) — a digital Aussie dollar or e-dollar, which could be held digitally like cryptocurrencies. This is not the first time CBDC is being tested for real-world use by the RBA. It has carried out two pilots in the last two years to test tokenised CBDC for the wholesale market and cross-border payments.

BNPL shares - will buying now pay later?

Just five years ago, most people had never heard of a little company called Afterpay. And the words “buy now, pay later” (now known simply as BNPL) weren’t in common use. That’s all changed. In fact, the way people pay for retail goods in Australia was revolutionised by Afterpay. The question is, is BNPL the way of the future, or just a passing fad?

How low can crypto go?

If we’re going to talk about cryptocurrencies, let’s start with how many of them exist. And that’s not easy to answer.
