Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Weekly: Why Netflix’s shares fell & EssilorLuxottica's best day since 2008
Q: Does divesting from a company that I think is unethical actually hurt their stock price? Or does someone else just buy their shares and actually make no difference?
One person's sale is unlikely to affect the share price or company behavior, but divestment at scale and public pressure can affect a company's reputation and encourage change. Investing in line with personal values can also matter to an individual regardless of the immediate financial impact.
The Weekly: Why Netflix’s shares fell & EssilorLuxottica's best day since 2008
Q: Why has Netflix's share price gone down when the revenue actually grew?
Investors look ahead, and Netflix's growth has slowed from more than 20% to about 12%. The market also considers competition and expected future growth, while Harris argues that slowing growth is normal for a company of Netflix's scale.
The Weekly: Shopped at ASOS? Your data could be out there & Victoria’s Secret’s comeback
Q: With an investor hat on, whose share price is basically benefiting from this? Are there businesses that I should maybe be having a look at to invest in?
Sophie names Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike as examples of cybersecurity companies, and discusses growth in cyber insurance. She cautions that individual stocks are riskier than index funds and says listeners should research independently.
The Weekly: Shopped at ASOS? Your data could be out there & Victoria’s Secret’s comeback
Q: What should I be doing as a customer to protect myself in this scenario?
The hosts suggest changing the account password and consider removing stored card details, while acknowledging that the latter is a personal precaution rather than formal advice.
What nobody tells you about buying a house at auction
Q: What were your biggest learnings from auctions, and would you approach them differently now?
She recommends deciding in advance exactly when to stop, leaving if the bidding exceeds that limit, and understanding that auction purchases are unconditional. She also describes bidding confidently and waiting to enter the auction as possible tactics.
