    Buffett buys into the Australian share market.

    I got a feeling that long term this new arrangement will perhaps be better for Berkshire holders than IAG. Am I correct the man who just purchased 3.7% of IAG is getting 20% of future business? I am by know means an expert and haven't read the fine print but I suspect this might be dilutive...

    Can you compare the currency rates at the same time (say on XE.com) you place the order? I would be interest to know if they are giving with one hand... Best of luck..

    Buying small volume USA shares from Australia?

    Buying small volume USA shares from Australia?

    This is something that I have been looking into. Nabtrade $15 looks almost too good to be true. I suspect they make their money on the FX. https://www.nabtrade.com.au/features/products/international-shares/overview

    Race hate flyer distributed in Sydney's north shore and inner city

    I don't think we should conflate foreign investment with foreign investment in residential property. There is a difference. I get the economic case for foreign investment especially for a country that runs trade deficits and wants to maintain a high standard of living, you have to sell the...

    Achieving wealth through shares...how?

    On the subject of WAM if you are interested I strongly recommend former WAM right hand man Matthew Kidman's book bulls, bears and a croupier.

    Achieving wealth through shares...how?

    Ok will chime in, I would personally prefer something without an outperformance fee (I think WAM is 20% outperformance on top of the 1%) Also don't take any small cap LIC dividend as a certainty they are giving you back capital gains so keep that in mind, more so if the market tanks. Have...

    I'm calling it... 2015 is the peak
