IT'S seven in the morning when Rusty Miller picks me up outside my hotel in Byron Bay in his old Subaru, with a hula girl dashboard dancer and the rear-vision mirror gaffer-taped on.
THE messy beasts, which require constant watering and drop their fronds prolifically, have been softened over 25 years by natural eucalypts, and the place is beginning to look more like Australia again and less like Miami.
As a first-time traveler, there are many issues, concerns and details that you must deal with before embarking on overseas travel. Your safety and security should be first and foremost on your list of details to tend to, followed by the intricacies and endless particulars that typically come with overseas travel.
Cruise ship travel from Australia is nothing short of superb. The 25,000 kilometres of picturesque coastline guide you into the warm, pristine waters, where you’ll experience a vacation like no other.
With the global economic crisis hitting the tourism industry hard worldwide… many people have put off travelling plans as they don’t feel secure enough to travel. As a result, many hotels, airlines and tour operators are all offering fantastic deals to try and lure you away from home for a holiday.
Daniel Kertcher established Platinum Pursuits in 2001 as a vehicle in which to share his knowledge of strategies to use the financial markets to grow wealth, with the aim of achieving financial freedom by making your money work for you.
His argument is that until you become financially literate and develop a method where you're able to get a reasonable return on your capital (i.e. making your money work for you), you will instead be forever working hard for your money.
Daniel Kertcher personally achieved financial freedom at a relatively young age, through his knowledge of property and then financial markets investing. Through using Options and leveraged instruments such as CFDs, Daniel developed a system to trade the markets where he could benefit from the leverage when the trade went in the direction he predicted, and hedged his positions so that there was a limited downside risk.
Some people in the past have criticised Daniel's message of striving for financial freedom in a high-risk environment such as trading derivatives. However, it is not Daniel's or Platinum Pursuits' goal to encourage everyone to trade the financial markets. Every kind of investing contains an element of risk, so this level of education is aimed specifically for those who want an understanding of professional trading techniques and strategies that they hope to apply to their own capital, and it is absolutely true that many people are not yet in a position to invest a chunk of their savings.
To be truly financially literate, it can pay to explore all the options available when you are in a position to try to get ahead in life. Daniel currently presents free introductory seminars nationally on selected dates from February to November.
