“We Are Australian”

August 2020 123 Investment Insights with investment implication

“We are Australian”

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” Matthew 6:34

“ In time of such unprecedent circumstances, we need a collected intelligent thoughts of our former Prime Ministers ( Ministers), former opposition leaders; the good thing is we have many of them, and they all been elected or selected by all ( or some ) of us previously” ______Camilla Collection from Melbourne Royal Botanic Garden and Melbourne Private Gardens

Dear Clients,

I hope these beautiful in season photos will please your eyes and make you feel happy. That is probably the best thing I can do in the stage 4 lockdown.

Equity markets around the world have gone back to “normal”. In May and July there was much discussion in our sister publication 123 IGF Update, that equities had been well supported by the unprecedent fiscal stimulus (or hand out), and the lowest (or if not negative) interest rates around the world.

Peacefulness, good health, and a normal life are now the things people around the world long for. Most places on the earth have been blessed with peace and fewer health issues for more than 70 years. We therefore need to be thankful for what we have got and achieved.

Luckily, for the great effort and hard work of many people, we in Australia still have plenty of food, care, and places to enjoy activities. Image when the early settlers came to this land, they need to remain on their ships for months in rough sea, and when they arrived, waiting for them was the harsh bush.

We love this land, our country and Victoria.

Invest more in our own beautiful country, that is what I want to say, at least by ourselves (using our super).

“I am, you are, we are Australian”

Hold Strong Together & Best Wishes
