We haven’t been in troubled times

For over 32 years (since 1993), I have never read or heard anyone say to me, either;

“We are living in certain times” or “Things are awfully certain”

The omnipresent vernacular has been the opposite.

It has continues to cause investor fear, abstinence and paralysis.

My advice to long term investors is to stop watching or reading the news.

p.s. many residential homes have not risen 700% over that time and the real reason many have made money is such an asset class is because they have been leveraged at least 4 to 1…..i.e. 20% deposit to borrow the other 80%.

And it’s because of the leverage, which is why Australian’s worry when they hear real estate prices may fall 15%.
