 Observations:
  • I am putting aside about $500 towards tax efficient scheme but the final results are only visible one a year, i.e. in 12 months time. This is not a lot by any stretch of imagination, however when I look at pensioners I realise that every dollar counts!
  • People are getting a little bit nervous about EU future and increasing short term positions in precious metals.
  • I am looking for the options to move to low cost funds and consolidate my portfolio into 3-4 holdings only, with automatic re-investment option.
