  • Sycophant

    In general I’ve enjoyed the pod over the years. Solid general financial information and interesting investment concepts.

    The latest episode with Andrew Bragg was just disappointing. It was totally politically motivated and one could even say partisan propagandist.

    It was like listening to a giddy school child interview their idol.

    Totally contrary to the way it was set up in the introduction.

    I listen for factual general investment information, and this pod was genuinely anything but tha... more

    The episode you referenced at the beginning of every episode I no longer there I am using Apple Podcasts on the number of episodes is always 399. It seems every time you post a new episode the oldest one disappears. It would be nice if the settings were changed to access the old episode. I don’t know whether you’re aware of this.

  • Great show, poor editing

    I love this show, I’ve learned so much from listening and will definitely miss Kate.

    My one gripe is the editing,which is similar with some of the other Rask podcasts. I skip the first two minutes because the preamble is so long, and occasionally the editing has been a bit random, with little bits that they talk about editing out, being left in. Today I was listening to one of the latest episodes and was totally gripped when the last 15 minutes became a garbled edited chat repeating certain bit... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Buy now or wait? Chris Bates on the property choices that matter
Q: For folks that don't know very much, the basics, what do people need to get ready when they come and see you as a mortgage broker?
Bates recommends starting with basic financial details, documents and bank statements. A broker can assess borrowing capacity, check for issues and discuss strategies, after which buyers can compare property options and decide what suits them over the long term.
Buy now or wait? Chris Bates on the property choices that matter
Q: Are falling property prices good for Australia? Is this the reset that we needed to have?
Bates calls it a catch-22: lower prices can help future first-home buyers borrow less, but can also reduce equity for current owners. He says high property prices and mortgages can limit risk-taking, business creation and job mobility, while abrupt changes to investor incentives may affect demand.
ETF winners, IVV for 70 years and catching up in your 40s
Q: How to best catch up on building wealth when you only really woke up in your 40s?
They advise avoiding reckless attempts to catch up and starting with a spending plan, clearing consumer debt and establishing an emergency fund. They also recommend reviewing career and retraining options, setting lifestyle goals, managing the mortgage and making suitable super contributions.
ETF winners, IVV for 70 years and catching up in your 40s
Q: I have a few like Asia and Semiconductor ETFs that have grown by more than 200%. Should I sell half, put in my core to reduce risk?
Owen and Glen recommend deciding on a target allocation for satellite investments in advance, setting a regular review schedule and trimming holdings when they exceed the investor's chosen limits. They also note that semiconductor funds have substantial exposure to the AI theme and overlapping holdings.
If you had $20,000, build your ETF portfolio like this
Q: What is the rationale behind the international core block?
QOL, the international quality ETF, offers exposure to high-return-on-equity companies with low leverage and stable earnings, providing a defensive and resilient international core.
