Russell Muldoon
April 11, 2015
Let’s say four years ago you were offered the opportunity to buy a portfolio of well-known businesses for $272.3 billion, which are expected to generate $24 billion in after-tax earnings. While this implies an earnings yield of 8.8 per cent, you decide to forgo the investment. continue…

Paying Dividends
Roger Montgomery
April 2, 2015
The emerging debate about whether the politically suicidal decision to reduce the tax benefits of franking credits and by extension the attractiveness of dividends for income, brings to my mind the company run by Warren Buffett – Berkshire Hathaway. This is a business that has not paid a dividend since 1967, but has created thousands of millionaires and quite a few billionaires too. continue…

Does the market offer value?
Tim Kelley
March 4, 2015
Over the long haul, the equity market tends to offer a pretty good deal. Compared with holding cash, investors assume a significant amount of risk, but that risk is generally well-rewarded with higher returns.

It’s a piece that yield hungry investors MUST read. Too much money can be lost by not heeding his words and we couldn’t have written it better ourselves. Chris’ email reads below:
