03 Feb Episode 27- Should we be scared of the big bad bear?

Posted at 11:11h in Podcast, Podcasts by

Are you happy with the returns of your share and property investments over the last few years? Optimistic that things will continue?  Or are you worried about an impending bear market (where shares and property prices start falling and pessimism persists). On this episode, Tim Farrelly, principal at Farrelly’s Investment Strategy  provided us with some insights about what you can control and when you should be scared of the big bad bear.

I also spoke to Sean Herman, a Mortgage Broker from Professional Partners who provides insights into the bank’s attitude towards the property market.

“It is definitely a time  to absolutely be focused on the long term.”

Tim Farrelly

“We should always be prepared for a downturn of the order of 10%, 15%, 20%, or even 25%”

Tim Farrelly
