Advice for getting started in the stock market
I am in my 20s and keep hearing about how the stock market is now a great buying opportunity. Some say it is a once in a lifetime opportunity but I have no experience in buying shares. I am not ready to buy a house, which seems easier to pick a good one from a bad one, but I need help with shares. What are your suggestions? Ben, Glenelg, SA.

Tax break for small businesses - too good to be true?
I run a small business - I make films, videos, etc - and usually I don't take much interest in the Budget because I seldom find there is much there that actually helps me but this tax break for businesses buying equipment looks pretty good. However, I have learnt from people like you that if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. But if it is true, what do I have to look out for? Jack, Terrigal, NSW.

Are home prices falling?
I keep hearing about some university professor who says house prices will fall by 40%! I am a potential first homebuyer but I am worried that I might buy something for $400,000 and see it fall $160,000 in value. Is this possible? Jay, Nowra, New South Wales.

Should we pay off our home loan or put more into super?
As our kids have now left school and have good jobs we are now in a position to really improve our super and prepare for retirement, which is still 20 years away, though we would love to do it earlier. We have a home with $320,000 worth of debt and the place is worth around $850,000. Our combined super is about $600,000 and so I am wondering if you would recommend paying off the loan first or putting more into super using salary sacrifice? Betty, Richmond, Vic.
