10 year anniversary

It has been 10 years since Rob and I first took over the firm from Bill Ridge and would like to thank you all for your loyalty during that time. Our goal over that time was to deliver more value to you than what we charge, and i feel we have been able to achieve that. Looking back we have had great pleasure in:

1. helping you start income streams from your superannuation,
2. helping you use the tax benefits you are entitled to from superannuation in retirement,
3. bringing a relationship with one of the best investment and superannuation teams in Australia to our firm. The dramatic changes to the investment world will ensure that this relationship in the next 10 years will add so much value to your wealth. Anyone can make money when times are good, but when times are bad making money and preserving your wealth actually requires a great skill set,
4. training and developing the next generation of professionals for not only DHM Partners but also for the community. It is hard to train and develop staff and keep them all. To those that have left I hope you are grateful for the training and development you received from us and use it to benefit the community. To those that have stayed I look forward to many more years working with you as your employer and future business partner,
5. running a series of seminars to help the young entrepreneur who are currently in business or plan on entering business,
6. helping you survive one of the hardest 10 years the local community has ever had to face, and
7. helping you convert some of your long term investments into a more liquid form.

There have been many more achievements and there will be many more going forward as Rob, myself and our team remain committed to bringing you the best advice there is.

Financial year 30 June 10

The planning is completed for another year. Thank you for your co-operation and providing of information in a timely manner. Our goal each year is to provide more value to you than what we charge via giving you:

1. certainty as to what your commitments will be when the tax return is finalised,
2. advice to make sure that you have invested your profits for the year in the most tax effective manner,
3. advice to make sure that you have structured your affairs in the most tax effective manner,
4. review your needs and help where help is needed, and
5. provide some ideas for you to think about when you are planning on how you will improve your business in the next financial year.

In the coming months we will be having some time off but be assured there will be a team member who is capable of helping you with your questions.

DHM Boxes - More to come!!!

A Sausage that has been sizzled in #*@$

For those of you that have read my latest newsletter here is a perfect example. I open up my mail today and there is a letter from Mr Hassle Free Share Sales Pty Ltd offering to purchase my CBA shares. He tells me that he will pay me $29.20 per share. He also tells me that the market value of my shares are $58.31. He also tells me that i will get my money in 10 days and that i don't have to pay any brokerage. He also tells me that this offer is regulated by the corporations act 2001 and that he is has no affiliation with the CBA. He has also carefully worded the letter to lead you into thinking that the $29.20 per share is the market value of the shares. Wow what an offer, FOR HIM.

What a sizzle, he is leading me to believe that the price is the market value, i am getting my money quick, i am saving a fortune on brokerage, he is independent from the CBA, and it is all legal.

What to do with this.

Don't agree to it.
Burn the page titled ACCEPTANCE FORM
Mail the letter back and hand write on it that you had not realised the parcel you left in the toilet this morning had found its way into your hands, what a SAUSAGE SIZZLED in #*@$
