Apparently, the world ends for stockmarkets in September a fact that will no doubt be picked up and repeated by our local finance news peanuts without giving any thought to what they are copying.

Did you take your parent’s word as gospel? Or did you ask, whinge, nag, beg, grovel, whine, stamp your foot and tantrum your…
Things that work I was watching my friend, and money manager of multiple millions of dollars, David Chia present. As he was talking about his system, there were some realisations I reached.
