Sky’s the limit!

Pack your thongs and grab your sunnies as you are invited to join us in Sunny Brisbane! I love Brissy, the weather is just something special and it just has a certain vibe to it. However, as great as those facts are, they just aren’t what inspires so many investors to join the long queues of those wanting to invest there. It’s the Infrastructure Man! Don’t you get it? Our investment philosophy is based around the long-term economic cycle drivers. Centred on David Ricardo’s 200 year old theory of Economic Rent – we can explain just exactly how this cycle will evolve. Whilst our drivers are in place, the cycle MUST perpetuate. And in place they are! We are currently seeing the cycle unfold in front of us, providing astute investors with enormous investment opportunity. And the news is all good for Briz-vegas, with the […] 150

It’s One for the Money

For every Boom there is a Crash. History tells us that the higher prices fly, the greater the crash will be. Its inevitable, isn’t it? The more emotional investing becomes the more irrational the pricing. There is an old saying that when “Taxi drivers start recommending stocks it is time to sell” Welcome the new world of Cryptocurrencies, with BitCoin the biggest and boldest of them all. Bitcoin invented by an unknow person or persons, calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto, is an open-source currency and digital payment system. It is a Peer-to-Peer network with transactions taking place directly without an intermediary like a Bank, PayPal or Western Union. Transactions are recorded in a publicly distributed ledger called blockchain. According to Jon Peddie of Jon Peddie Research “People are sending Bitcoins to each other over the Bitcoin network all the time, but unless someone keeps a record […] 150

The Future is Here. ……. It’s Just a Little Slow.

The future is upon us, its just starting out a little slow. But don’t be fooled or underestimate just exactly what is happening and what the undisputable outcome will be. It just may surprise us where these changes are popping up and the massive impact they will have. Recently I was in Darwin, my youngest making the SA State footy team and we stayed in an apartment on the beautiful Waterfront. A spectacular view and another classic example of how infrastructure & some congregation of population gives some land a locational advantage resulting in sky high apartment prices! It is staggering when you think about it – Waterfront land is abundant in Darwin. Its population a mere 110,000. Less than 230,000 in the entire NT. Yet a 3 bed apartment with water views equilivant to what you could find is the Docklands […] 150

That was then. This is now!

Recently, I was shown the most stunning news article I’ve seen for a while – showing you exactly how to benefit from the cycle! You see the other day, Alice, a Calnan Flack Investment Club Member sent me a fantastic link to an article on news.com.au that I think you all should have a look at! Famed economist David Ricardo told us that as a society, when we become more productive and hence more profitable, land with locational advantages would become more and more desirable resulting in the price being bid up sky high. Back in his day, he was referencing fertile agricultural land against sterile barren lands. You just need to visualise rich green pastures with abundant warmth and water compared to land on a backdrop of a dry desert landscape or a harsh arctic environment. You see productivity is the key. 150

But Can They Run on Time?

At Calnan Flack we talk a lot about the Wealth Creation opportunities that surround us if you learn to see the Economic and Credit Cycle in action. We talk about the Economic Drivers being Population, Technology, Infrastructure, Government Granted Licenses and of course the Credit creation process! Our Economic Cycle Action Plan provides the framework to understand the cycle and the action we need to take to leverage the opportunities it presents to grow your wealth. By studying history, we can further enhance our knowledge of how events impact society and asset prices. Yet few seem to look back into the future an learn from the past. Learning from history and its relevance to life today is not  reserved for tweed jacket wearing types who love to contemplate history through a well-worn book. Studying history gives us a terrific advantage, one that is easy […] 150

‘I Read the News Today, Oh Boy?’

It was the Beatles who sang “I read the news today, oh boy” – so have you? CBA are all over it. Money laundering! Can you believe it? It’s hard to imagine after all the bad press they had re their financial planning and insurance division that things could get any worse? But now we hear that the CBA has facilitated the transfer of millions of dollars for a wide web of criminal syndicates. These foreign criminals and drug traffickers launder literally millions through Australias biggest and highly regulated bank – the Commonwealth Bank. AUSTRAC (the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre has alleged in excess of 50,000 contraventions since 2012 of Australias Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. Interestingly enough, it is thought that the CBA’s rollout of its new Intelligent Deposit Machines (IDMs), similar to ATMs but […] 150

Our Forecasting Record

Before we start the dictionary defines a forecast as:- Verb: forecast; predict or estimate (a future event or trend). Noun: forecast; a calculation or estimate of future events based on past events, especially coming weather or a financial trend. It’s easy to make a forecast. “I reckon my footy team the crows will play in the Grand Final this year!” Every day people from all walks of life make all sorts of predictions. “It’s going to rain today.” “Trump will never build that wall.” And “of course the Property Market is going to Crash….” But it’s actually very difficult to make a Non-Emotional Scientifically Based Prediction. It’s even harder to get it right! However, every year that’s exactly what we do. Do we always get it right? Unfortunately, No. But the statistical probability of getting it correct as often as we do is, is almost impossible! Each […] 150

Rise of the Nano House

Moore’s Law states that computer processor speeds will double every two years, in a similar way Ricardo’s Law (of Rent) explains the continually diminishing size of Hong Kong apartments! The relentless technological advancements that are driving the rise of Nano Computers are also having the same effect on apartment sizes in Hong Kong. You see at $25,000 per m2 Hong Kong apartment space is not small change. It’s no wonder developers are doing their best to extract the maximum profit from their sites by shrinking apartment sizes and building sky high – the Cantillon Effect explains this. (To read about the Cantillon Effect click here). These Micro Flats or as I like to call them, Nano-Apartments, are typically as small as 20m2 and cost $500,000! They can be as small as 11m2 in size, but rent for A$660 per month on less than a 3% yield. Remember that 12m2 is 150

“It’s Only a Few Grains of Rice….”

Have you ever heard the story about the invention of the game of chess? Well the story goes something like this….. Once upon a time there was a very clever Indian mathematician who invented a board game that he called ‘Chess’. He took the game and showed it to the Emperor of India. The Emperor was so impressed with the game that he said to the inventor to name his price. The mathematician replied that all he wanted was a single grain of rice for the first square, two grains for the next square, four for the next, and eight for the next and so on for all sixty four squares on the board. The emperor chuckled to himself and immediately agreed; amazed that such a clever man would ask for so little. However, about a week later much to the emperor’s […] 150
