  • Rich guys laughing at each others jokes

    The first too many minutes you will listen to something that sounds like tone deaf guys thinking everyone wants to spend their limited time listening to them crack up at their inside jokes

  • Great insights, but a bit "Bitcoin heavy"

    Motley Fool Money is easily a 4 star podcast. The Phillips and Page are smart, funny, and the analysis is usually spot on. My only real gripe is the recent pivot toward Bitcoin…it feels like almost every episode now revolves around crypto. I’m hoping the pendulum swings back toward equities soon!

  • Just brilliant

    Quickly becoming my favourite podcast. Andrew is my favourite bitcoin pontificator and I love Scott’s trajectory into the sound money world. Despite the jokes that it’s “too much Bitcoin content” … obviously for bitcoiners there is never enough, so keep it up fellas!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag, incl: What metrics should government use? June 28, 2026
Q: Should they have broken a campaign promise for tax changes, and is it justified if the outcome is positive?
They acknowledge it depends on context; while promises can mislead, changing policy may be warranted if it improves overall outcomes and is better than the alternative, though public trust is impacted by the breach.
Mailbag, incl: What metrics should government use? June 28, 2026
Q: What metrics that aren't currently published should the government provide to keep it accountable?
The speakers suggest a richer set of indicators including GDP per capita, its distribution (deciles/quintiles), a self-reported quality-of-life measure, and environmental outcomes, along with broader metrics like happiness. They argue these would better reflect individual welfare and societal well-being than GDP alone.
Mailbag, incl: The pollies aren’t as bad as you say! July 5, 2026
Q: What is the guiding principle for evaluating policy proposals like CGT changes?
Evaluate the policy on its own merits and economic rationale, separate from political spin, and consider long-term effects on investment, fairness, and productivity.
Mailbag, incl: Can borrowing for shares close the gap to property? June 21, 2026
Q: Hayden asks whether leveraging with NAB Equity Builder narrows the gap to property and how to think about rates versus expected returns.
The hosts explain that leverage can magnify gains when returns exceed the borrowing costs, but if the rate rises toward or above the expected return, the investment becomes riskier and may underperform; they emphasize evaluating whether the after‑tax, after‑risk economics justify the leverage and note there are scenarios where debt can be detrimental.
Mailbag, incl: Can we stop the intergenerational hate? June 7, 2026
Q: Mass Group thesis creep and what to do when a founder-led company pivots away from its original business; how should an investor evaluate whether to hold or sell?
Investors should articulate a clear, rational investment thesis that can adapt to new information. If facts change and the original justification weakens, reconsider the thesis, possibly lowering confidence or selling, but only after evaluating whether the leadership can credibly pursue the new direction and whether the new business still offers reasonable value and growth prospects. If you would buy again under the new thesis, you may choose to hold or partially reallocate rather than dump entirely.
