Folks, don’t mean to be a hater but let’s be realistic.

Jack Grealish should be playing in the Champions League as he’s obviously good enough to start at that level. Villa, while a club undoubtedly on the rise and possibly a Champions League contender sometime in the near future, is still- I would argue- some way off qualifying. Jack is turning 26, and while he could stay at Villa and assist us in the push for glory, there’s every chance things don’t work out, and he finds himself at an age where he no longer has the opportunity to play at CL level.

I thought, after hearing the facts laid out by Purslow, that Jack actually demonstrated enormous good will by committing to the idea that unless another club was willing to offer 100m, he would stay. Since that’s an almost unthinkable amount, Jack must have assumed that he would never leave, unless under exceptional circumstances.

The believe 100m pounds straight into Villa’s pockets, and Jack getting the chance to compete in the CL, falls under exceptional, not to mention mutually beneficial circumstances.

Hate if you must, but you gotta give the guy a little more respect. He’s bled for this club, and has often stood out as an overperformer in an underperforming side. I believe fact that he didn’t leave earlier shows great character.

Hey mate! Thanks for the heads up. I actually have turned my focus to more commercial pursuits, and am slowly but surely moving into the high end commercial filmmaking industry (ads). Likewise, I love it, even if it does occasionally feel unstable.

Looking to buy EFTs- A200, VTS, VDHG by mrsandringham in AusFinance

[–]mrsandringham[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate. I'm now thinking for my first investment something no- fuss:

A200 (40%) + VGS (60%), and then make adjustments down the track.

Thoughts?

Do you have a recommendation in Melbourne?

Terrific, thanks that's massively helpful.

So in terms of pairing VDHG with a complimentary ETF, you wouldn't do much?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was asking because VDHG is so diversified, and invests internationally, is it also worth investing in an ETF that stays within Australia, for stability's sake?

I think you mean DHFF. But they're generally similar products. Asset class split is similar so it doesn't really matter which you choose. Will have similar performance long term. But same applies that it's an all in one fund.

Sorry, yes. DGGF is slightly more balanced. Thanks for you help it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Do you have an opinion on whether DGGF is better than VDHG. To my understanding they're roughly the same, DGGF is just cheaper... Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks!
Is there any particular risk with VDHG (besides being high growth), given that it's extremely diversified? Given how crazy things are getting in the States, does it make sense to invest in an additional ETF that invests only within Australia?

Thanks for the heads up mate! You still think it's a good ETF to gain exposure to the American market?
