Phil Anderson

Phillip J Anderson is an Australian academic, author and student of stock, commodity and real estate cycles. Drawing on the work of British economist Fred Harrison and American technical analyst WD Gann, Phil developed his own theory about 18-year real estate cycles in the early 1990s. Since then, Phil has been using cycle theory to guide his own investment decisions — crediting the phenomenon with his decision to move to a 100% cash position in July of 2007, just before the GFC wreaked havoc on the Australian stock market. He has also built up a lucrative property portfolio here and in the UK. Phil is currently predicting a 14-year boom in Australian house prices; an idea he expands on more in a brand new Port Phillip Publishing film, ‘Remembering the Future’.

Don’t Believe the Hedge Funds When it Comes to Aussie Housing

Australia now has one of the biggest housing bubbles in history, apparently. That’s the word still doing the rounds after Jonathan Tepper’s forecast for a 50% drop in Australian house prices. Really? If you’ve believed Tepper’s argument, then you’ve been had.
