For those who have not sat through Microbiology 101 Toxoplasma gondii is an extracellular parasite that causes the disease toxoplasmosis which is most commonly found in cats where it sexually reproduces.

Following on from my post a few weeks ago about ETFs I have been mulling over the utility of ETFs within a portfolio. You only need to mention the word superannuation to me and you will get a gob full from me pontificating on how I think the current system is crap, completely inadequate to servicing…
We all know someone who is convinced their opinion is better than everyone else’s on a topic – perhaps, even, that it is the only correct opinion to have. Maybe, on some topics, you are that person. No psychologist would be surprised that people who are convinced their beliefs are superior think they are better informed than…

You’ve heard me say it before…your thoughts lead to your feelings, your feeling become your actions and your actions become your results. I’ve heard others say it differently… your words become actions, which eventually become your destiny. Similarly Napoleon Hill, who wrote ‘Think and Grow Rich’ and became the twentieth century father of personal success,…
Its a shitty day in Melbourne, so with nothing better to do I decided to fire up excel, download a bit of data and see what I could learn. Anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes on this blog will realise that I am fascinated by mechanisms of generating excess return with minimal cost…
