I don’t care for individual stocks. I’m currently DHHF and chilling. 23 and in it for the long term, investing aggressively atm with most of my income. Would the fees be worth the extra growth? plus not stressing picking the etfs and auto rebalancing.

If not thinking lowkey might switch to, 50% IVV, 30% VEU and 20% A200.

SPI opened at 9,013, ran up and tagged the 9,051 to 9,068 zone and high at 9,078, then ended up closing at 9,022. Finishing the trading session up 0.10% intraday and down 0.28% overall.

Anyone play it differently?

Not advice!

They are building some groundbreaking stuff and looking at the charts right now.. seems like a great small cap to buy for a long term hold. Could potentially give 2-5x.

Thoughts?

Looking at the recent results of BOQ, Westpac and NAB, there is a lot of interesting information on how differently these institutions behave.

BOQ
The junior player goes its own way: around $295m is being returned to its owners through a special dividend and share buyback, and its fully franked yield is over 6%. And the migration of the
ME Bank is complete; another big stone falls down from the integration of BOQ.

Westpac
The performance of Westpac is looking relatively stable: profit is growing, capital is strong, but slow growth in mortgages is expected due to changes in housing. Besides that, the bank wants to attract new, young clients and first-time homebuyers by developing its savings offerings.

NAB
In my opinion, NAB is the most exciting one of these players this quarter: profit has increased by more than 30%, but not because of the growth in home lending; on the contrary, applications have been reduced. Instead, business banking seems to do all the work; besides, the bank expects additional cost reduction.

So, three banks and three completely different pictures:

BOQ → shareholder returns

Westpac → housing and customers

NAB → business banking and efficiency

What do you think about this? Which of these three players has the most exciting outlook over the next year?

This is not financial advice – just a comparison of the latest numbers and the main information that was interesting to me.
