Investors should be focused on return of investment, not return on investment for the next year or so at least. But they aren't. They're chasing yield in earnest like never before (since at least 2007 anyway). Government guaranteed term deposits are among the only really safe investment. And let's not forget that the only asset that assuredly increases in real value during deflation is cash.

As for traders, volatility is back and with it the opportunity to make higher returns (or lose more money if on the wrong side of the market and if not managing risk). Short stocks, commodities and forex and long the usd and vix near-mid term but only trade with what you can afford to lose. It's gonna be a wild ride!

Hi Menta and all,

Following on from my last post one wonders if our banks continue with this type of behaviour should our government be guaranteeing banks deposit. I think the banks should take out a large insurance policy to cover their depositor’s particularly as they have a $178,000.00 deposit stolen from their customers for dodgy financial advice.

“What sparked problems with the banks?”
“It's a long story, but Australia's banks have been plagued with one scandal after another over the past decade”
“The corporate watchdog ASIC also found the major banks have been slugging their customers $178 million in financial advice which was never provided.”
