Money Weekly with Peter Switzer

Get rich guide for scaredy cats
What follows is what I call the scaredy cat's guide to getting rich. With many US so-called experts tipping a stock market correction and some even letting loose with 20 to 50% tumbles, it could be wi...

Bettering yourself
When I was young and easily influenced by the clichés that many of us live our lives by, I was content to not face the brutal truth. So, on important matters, where I appeared weak, I'd dismiss them ...

A definite maybe
At the height of the stock market boom, which ended in November 2007, the S&P/ASX 200 hit 6828.7 but it's now only 4,868. So, as I give you a sneak preview from my economic and markets' crystal ball, ...

Can we trust China?
In case you live your life avoiding bad news, despite the general feeling of confidence that the world economy will keep recovering, there are still doomsday merchants out there getting media coverage...

Switzer's wealth plan
A couple of years ago, the tabloid press was knocked out by a survey of New Year's Day resolutions that put the old favourites of giving up smoking, getting fit and losing weight into second, third an...

Australia's best forecasters
The guys at CommSec recently did a very bad, bad and dangerous thing - they evaluated the accuracy of economic forecasters. And they actually named the country's best forecasters for 2009....

What a year!
The bad news is that interest rates will keep rising in 2010 but the good news is that the Reserve Bank might be thinking about giving us home loan borrowers a break in the early part of the year! So,...

Greenback gamble
Just as we were sweating on a Santa Claus rally on Wall Street to keep the market and our shares on the rise, along comes a strengthening US dollar. This isn't the news bargain hunter travellers headi...

Westpac's bad move
We reeled with disbelief when Gordon Gekko argued: "Greed is good." This is what came to mind when Westpac made its move to raise interest rates by 0.45% following the Reserve Bank's 0.25% hiking of t...

China too big to fail
In case you have missed it, there's a growing chorus of disaffected and probably dispossessed bears on the stock market who are doing their best to spook the market. One has got so desperate to be rig...

Perfect property plays
If you're someone who is very suspicious of investing in shares, here's my Property Manifesto, which outlines what you should know about trying to build your wealth by speculating on bricks and mortar...

Super slug
Easy come, easy go is a cliche that could be used to explain why the Rudd Government is set to change the rules that govern our super and they could really hit some Australians pretty hard. But wait, ...

How to handle windfalls
Matt and Dave on the morning show on ABC radio in Adelaide asked me to give their listeners some advice in case they were lucky enough to have a nice windfall. Maybe the money might have come after a ...

Reminiscing on the March call
The goal I set myself when I put my fingers to the keyboard for my Yahoo column is to tell my readers something they don't know. I always hope that it will help them 'wisen' up - money-wise or busine...

Crown your wealth
It's unbelievably coincidental and even ironic that this blueprint for building wealth is being written in the Crown Hotel in Melbourne as the sounds of the pokies are tingling through the air up into...
