This forum and its various groups can be an invaluable place for novice and experts to mix, share ideas and ask questions.
A recent speech by a Senior ATO Officer involved in the SMSF space has indicated what I have always known. Yes, The ATO is watching. I know Asst Cmmrs and others who tell me they participate, view and even post to SS. Its a great way to engage with what people are doing on the streets. I have even been asked about my posts. Its how the ATO, ASIC and others regulators monitor for new issues. To see new ideas. To understand what formal and informal views are running around the market. Personally, I have seen few posts that raise goosebumps but they do pop up on ocassion.
Don't let it stop your involvement.
