Insight

Not that interesting. Or is it… It’s election year, so *sigh* politicians of all stripes are being even more economical with the truth than usual. One of the subjects getting thrown around is: who is better with the economy. Numerous politicians have suggested that the nation’s debt...

Sound fair? Ahhhh the election year. the time that parties of all stripes ignore the systemic issues and try their best to play the populist hits. Meanwhile, we collectively yawn as either side of the political spectrum tinkers at the edges without really fixing anything –...

Reactive or proactive? It’s been a tough few years alright. So much so, it can be hard to know if you’re coming or going! Because of this, over recent years, we’ve seen many businesses become increasingly reactive. Understandable, but is it a good long-term plan? While...

Mixed messages Depending on which economic headline you read, we are either in the midst of an economic recovery, or the world is in dire straits, and the sky is about to fall on our heads. On the one hand, the first quarter GDP measure was positive,...
