  • Brilliant show

    I love that this is a no frills, straight talk show and that Oom Simon shares his views candidly. I appreciate the little nuggets of knowledge with a sprinkle of humor here and there. It's a punchy update of a variety of market topics and well suited to anyone who enjoys easily digestible updates, regardless of where you are on your investor journey. If this show was a food, it would be a cheese toasty. Everyone loves a cheese toasty.

  • Review & Question

    The podcast version doesn’t work as well anymore because you talk to the charts. I can no longer listen to the podcast on the drive home, without feeling that I’m missing some information.
