And 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 3: what's really happening with interest rates, my friend, you are 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: in exactly the right location. 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: Welcome. 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: My name is Victoria Devine and I am a retired 22 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: financial advisor who used to help hundreds of clients make 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: millions of dollars through investing. Now, the twenty twenty five 24 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: share market has been off to an eventful start, much 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: like TikTok has this year, with AI breakthroughs, global trade tensions, 26 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: and a looming Australian election that's going to shake a 27 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 3: lot of things up. I don't want you to start stressing, though. 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: I'm here and I'm going to be breaking down in 29 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: plain English, with no finance degree required, exactly what's going 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: on so that you can feel confident about what's ahead 31 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: and what that might mean for your investments. So let's 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: start with what I would say has everybody online talking. 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: Let's dive into deep Seek. 34 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: So this is a Chinese AI technology company that is 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: absolutely shaking up what's going on in the AI space, 36 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: and I would go as far as saying it has 37 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: turned AI or artificial intelligence absolutely on its head, and 38 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: it's making serious waves in the share market. It's actually 39 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: wiped one trillion dollars off the value of leading tech companies. 40 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 41 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: We're not talking millions or billions, we're talking trillions. So 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: for years, Navidia, if you've heard of it, great if 43 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 3: you haven't, it's essentially been the backbone of the stock 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: market internationally and the backbone of AI. I would say 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: it's basically been what's supplying the really powerful GPU chips 46 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: to companies like open Ai, who are the people who 47 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: own chat GPT and Anthropic which is clawed, who rely 48 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: on these chips to be able to train their AI models. 49 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: So thanks to AI reliance, Navidia has become essentially a 50 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 3: stock market giant, and its stock price has been absolutely 51 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: soaring because the demand for the chips has been increasing, 52 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: like it's absolutely skyrocketed, and investors saw it at the 53 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: time as a really great way and arguably the best 54 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: way to be profiting from AI's growth. But then here's 55 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 3: how deep Seek, which is what we're going to talk 56 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: about today, has changed the game. Unlike it's competitors, so 57 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: Chat GPT essentially, which needed sixteen thousand Navidia H one 58 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: hundred chips to train their AI models, Deep Seek has 59 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: managed to build a very competitive AI using only two 60 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: thousand Navidia H eight hundred GPUs, which is essentially a 61 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: fraction of the resources. So they're doing more with less, 62 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: and this has challenged the assumption that AI companies are 63 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: always going to need massive amounts of Navidia chips, which 64 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: has now started raise concerns understandably for what the future 65 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: demand of Navidia's hardware is actually going to be. And 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: the result of this is Navidia lost six hundred million 67 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: dollars and seventeen percent because investors they started questioning whether 68 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: it's dominance in the AI space was, as I guess, 69 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: unshakable as we once thought it was. It did bounce 70 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: back by eight percent the next day, but that's actually 71 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: a really good example of market sentiment. So it's a 72 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: good example of how our emotions drive the share market 73 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: and how we need to be really careful of that 74 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: because obviously Navidia is still a company that is needed. 75 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: But when some marketing comes out or when some news 76 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: comes out about oh, this might not be that relevant, 77 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: the share market jumps. And by that I mean investors 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: like you and I might go, oh my gosh, like 79 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: I own Navidia, should I sell? I've gotten a little 80 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: bit stressed, and I do start to sell. And that's 81 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: what happened. Essentially, people got a little bit stressed. They decided, Okay, 82 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: now this new information has come out, I'm going to sell. 83 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: And the result of that was people sold six hundred 84 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: million dollars worth of their share on that day, and 85 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: that meant a seventeen percent loss in the share market 86 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: price of Navidia. So that is a really important thing 87 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: to understand as well, that a drop like that is 88 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: not necessarily reflective of whether the company's doing well or 89 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: not doing well. It's just reflective of how people are 90 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: feeling about it, right, which is obviously still important to 91 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: take into consideration. And I guess another thing when it 92 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: comes to deep Seek making waves. Unlike chat, GPT and 93 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: other AI tools that essentially operate behind paywalls because you 94 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: need to pay for these things, deep Seek is what's 95 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: called completely open source, and this means that anyone can use, modify, 96 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: or improve its AI models. So instead of it being 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: you know, this is our product, we are obviously going 98 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: to let you use it. You can pay for it, 99 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: but we're not going to let you in to our codes. 100 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: They're letting everybody into the codes, and developers and businesses 101 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: can build AI applications without expensive licensing fees. 102 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: So other companies. 103 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: Historically might go to chat, GPT and say, hey, this 104 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: is a fantastic product, we'd love to use the model 105 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: and the technology and what you've built for this very 106 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: specific purpose. It's not working like that. They're just giving 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: it out for free. You can do whatever you would like. 108 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: So AI advancements in different sectors, so healthcare, in finance, 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: and education could essentially accelerate much faster than they have 110 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: before because instead of having to build their own, they're 111 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: just being. 112 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 2: Gifted with it. 113 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: So in short, Deep Seek isn't actually just competing with 114 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: AI companies like the company who owns chat GPT. It's 115 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: actually changing inherently the way that AI is completely developed 116 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: and making it more accessible worldwide, which I think is 117 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: low key, very cool and just when you thought AI 118 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 3: couldn't get more dramatic, Trump enters the chat. 119 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: The new US president. 120 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: Has essentially rolled out a very bold new AI plan 121 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: that is designed to keep America at the very top 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: of the food chain. But he's planning on pumping even 123 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: more money into lots of AI research. He's said that 124 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: he's planning on ramping up domestic chip production so that 125 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: people don't have to import them from places like China, 126 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: and he's also planning on putting tighter restrictions on the 127 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: ability to import things from China and Russia to Australia 128 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: and on top of that, and I feel like this 129 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: is a little bit hypocritical, but that's my personal opinion. 130 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: His administration is also weaving AI into their national security 131 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: and into their defense force at the same time as 132 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: them pushing for tighter restrictions to keep things in check 133 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: for everybody else. 134 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: But what does that actually mean. It means that the. 135 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: AI race is heating up, it's getting quicker, and these 136 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: moves could actually shake up the industry in a really 137 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: big way. So if you weren't already watching AI closely 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: or using it yourself, I would say that now is 139 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: the time to start familiarizing yourself with it and understanding it, 140 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: because it's just going to become more and more prominent. 141 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: And AI isn't the only thing making headlines. 142 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: Obviously. 143 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: Global trade tensions have completely ramped up, and Trump's latest 144 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: move could actually have really big implications for markets worldwide, 145 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: including here in Australia. We've all heard of his tariffs. 146 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: He's talking about tariffs. He's going to implement tariffs al 147 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: though they're helping Americans, and it actually makes me want 148 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: to jump through the screen and shake him and ask 149 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: the question, do you even know what a tariff is. 150 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: Trump like, at the. 151 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: End of the day, implementing tariffs, you are actually impacting 152 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: your citizens negatively, like it's going to cost them more. 153 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 3: But what does a tariff actually mean for investors? And 154 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: how could it actually impact industries that we are investing in, 155 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 3: like mining and tech and manufacturing. I'm going to break 156 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 3: it all down before I get a little bit two heated. 157 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: We're going to go to a really quick break and 158 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: on the flip side, we're going to be talking more 159 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: about Trump's new tariffs. Welcome back to my friends. I'm 160 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: so excited about this. Let's talk about Trump's tariffs because 161 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: this isn't just like some political drama. It's actually something 162 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: that can have really real consequences for global markets, including 163 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: here in Australia. We've even seen the Prime Minister of 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 3: Canada come out and openly say, great, if you guys 165 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: are going to implement tariffs, we're also going to make 166 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: it hard for you. Like America and Canada, we were friends, 167 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: we had, you know, all of these trade agreements. 168 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: No more. 169 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: We are absolutely going to be cracking down on this, 170 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: and things online are moving so quickly at the time 171 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: that I'm recording this. 172 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: Trump has announced tariffs on. 173 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: Mexico, Canada, and China, and the Mexico and Canadian tariffs 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: have been paused while negotiations are kind of taking place 175 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: as he's expected to be in talks with China as well. 176 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: And for me, this. 177 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: Actually raises a lot of very serious and very valid 178 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: concerns about how this is going to impact businesses and 179 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: supply chains and essentially the share markets worldwide. So what 180 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 3: do you need to know Apart from going, oh, v 181 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: this is going to impact it great negative positive, we 182 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: don't know. What you as an investor need to know 183 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: is that markets don't like uncertainty. I was explaining that 184 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: to you before when I was saying, oh my gosh, 185 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: look how Navidia dropped in a day because something was announced. 186 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,239 Speaker 3: It made people uncomfortable. But markets they don't like uncertainty, 187 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: and trade wars bring exactly that. Trade wars are all 188 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 3: about uncertainty and it leads to a lot of volatility 189 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: in the marketplace. So share prices you're going to see 190 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: going up and down a lot more in the coming 191 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: few weeks and months, and bigger price swings. There are 192 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: industries that literally rely on global trade for their success. 193 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: So things like tech and mining and manufacturing are very 194 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: likely to take a massive hit in this space because 195 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: tariffs are going to eat away at their profits. And 196 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: if these companies have less profit, they have less for 197 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: their shareholders, which means that your shareholder return is going down, 198 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: which means that your shares aren't going to pay as 199 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: bigger dividends. And they're also not going to increase in 200 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 3: stock market value because people aren't as excited about buying 201 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: a company that is paying them less right because it's 202 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 3: not as secure, it's not as sexy. And then we 203 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 3: also need to talk about the fact that rising tariffs 204 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 3: could actually push inflation up, which at the moment when 205 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: we're trying so hard to bat all the cost of 206 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: living crisis and the current inflation rates, central banks might 207 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 3: actually need to step in. So this is where you 208 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: might hear a lot more from the RBA. Thankfully, we 209 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: live in Australia, and in Australia our economy is actually 210 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 3: relatively reflective of America, but it's. 211 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: Usually pretty protected. 212 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: So in comparison to America, we will feel things, but 213 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: we will feel them a lot softer. So during times 214 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: of economic turmoil, because of the way America is structured 215 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: and it's a much bigger economy, they're going to feel 216 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: it harder. And then by the time it gets to 217 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: Australia and starts impacting our economy, it will negatively impact us, 218 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 3: but it won't to the extent that you see in 219 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: the US, and a good example of that is the GFC. 220 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: So in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, 221 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: we saw obviously America absolutely crash and burn. The Australian 222 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 3: stock market did react in a very similar way, but 223 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: that had a lot to do with market sentiment, as in, 224 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: it had a lot to do with how we were 225 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: feeling seeing the marketing, seeing all of the news about 226 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: what was going on. So we were being a lot 227 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: more conservative, or we were selling our shares because we 228 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 3: were worried as opposed to the companies that we are 229 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: investing in Australia actually having less value. So it's important 230 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: to remember that because a lot of the time investing 231 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: is inherently emotional. So you're investing in something, you might 232 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 3: pull back because you're like, oh, the markets are a 233 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: little bit uncertain. That's actually a really good opportunity if 234 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: you're in the position to double down. So that's essentially 235 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: what I will be looking at and at the time 236 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: of recording. So when I looked it up this morning, 237 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 3: there's currently a ten percent tariff on China that's just 238 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,119 Speaker 3: been announced. Trump has said that that might be increased. 239 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: So for Australia, I would say that this is especially 240 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: important to hone in on because China is our biggest 241 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,479 Speaker 3: trade partner here in Australia and if the Chinese economy 242 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: starts to slow down due to these tariffs, our mining 243 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: sector could actually end up feeling the pain because of this. 244 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 3: And it's important to understand that because we export bought 245 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: a lot of our mind products, but we import a 246 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: lot of Chinese actual consumable product. China's economy was actually 247 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: already slowing down in twenty twenty four. It was struggling 248 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,479 Speaker 3: with a property market crisis. They had relatively weak consumer spending, 249 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: which we did as well, and they had a decline 250 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: in manufacturing and their exports. And this downturn actually hit 251 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: Australia's mining sector pretty hard. So companies like BHP and 252 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: Rio Tinto were feeling the pressure and that was definitely 253 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: reflective in their share market price. Now bringing it back 254 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: to Trump's tariffs. Trump's tariffs are I would say, adding 255 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: a lot more strain, and if China's economy slows even more, 256 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: I would say that demand for Australian resources is going 257 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: to take another hit. It's going to step back. They're 258 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: not able to afford our stuff, which could mean continued 259 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: pressure on mining stocks and mining shares. And it's just 260 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: so I think that we need to be aware of, 261 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: not something that we need to jump and worry about 262 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: if you own these companies, because as we know, the 263 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: mining sector and all sectors in Australia EBB and flow. 264 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: It's also important to note that China has announced stimulus 265 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 3: measures to boost its economy, so obviously you might not 266 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: be privy to that. I am because I'm always in 267 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: the markets and I'm always looking at global news. But 268 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 3: they've been a little bit smaller than expected, which has 269 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: left a lot of investors questioning whether it's actually enough 270 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: of a stimulus to turn things around and actually have 271 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: the impact that they set out to have. And since 272 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: China's demand for Australian resources, honestly it's a really big leck. 273 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 3: I would say it's one of the top drivers of 274 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 3: the Australian economy. Both investors and businesses are going to 275 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: be watching really closely to see how this plays out, 276 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: especially if you own mining stocks like BHP or Rio Tinto. 277 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: Let's come a little bit closer to home, though, like 278 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: let's talk a little bit more about Australia or I 279 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: do think it's really interesting how global economies impact our economy. 280 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: And I feel like a lot of people think. 281 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yep, we export and then we import, 282 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: Like why would demand for our exports change. It's a 283 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: lot deeper than just what does that look like, because 284 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: obviously if China's economy is slowing, they don't need as 285 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: many resources to build new infrastructure, to build houses, to 286 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: do all of these things. And it does genuinely impact us. 287 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: And it doesn't just impact us in terms of share price, 288 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: but more sustained share price reduction. Anyway, I promised. Back 289 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: closer to home, let's talk about interest rates. A lot 290 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 3: of people are dming me about interest rates. You guys know, 291 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 3: I own Zella Money, which is a mortgage breaking business. 292 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: So I'm talking literally every single day what an interest 293 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: rate's going to do, How are interest rate's going to change, 294 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 3: what's the RBA going to be doing. At the time 295 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: of recording, the RBA hasn't announced their interest rate reduction. 296 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: I'm fully anticipating an interest rate reduction. Just to be clear, 297 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 3: this is being recorded early. So if it happened, told 298 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 3: you so. If it didn't, I take all of it back. 299 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: But last week NAB actually announced that they were dropping 300 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: mortgage rates, which is a big move because the RBA 301 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: hasn't actually made a move yet. NAB but just so 302 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: confident that the RBA is going to be reducing the 303 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 3: cash rate, which I would say is a very strong 304 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: sign that banks across the board are very privy to 305 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: the idea that there is going to be an official 306 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: rate cut very soon, and with inflation easing which we 307 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 3: are seeing, and obviously the banks are relatively confident that 308 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 3: that's what's happening. Lowering interest rates could actually boost different 309 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 3: parts of our market in some pretty unexpected but also 310 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 3: expected ways. So firstly, property I feel like as a 311 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: no brainer. Lots of people are you know, finger on 312 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: the pulse with that one because it impacts us literally individually. 313 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: But lower mortgage rates make money borrowing cheaper, which means 314 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: that more people are going to be in a position 315 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: to borrow more money but also buy homes or upgrade 316 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: their current home to a better home. And that's actually 317 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 3: a really good thing for our economy because it restimulates 318 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: the economy. But also real estate companies developers ariits because 319 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 3: demand for property could actually push stock prices, so it 320 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 3: could push home prices higher in that space. And I 321 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 3: know we don't want more expensive homes, but the idea 322 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: that the home is more expensive is usually reflective of 323 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 3: the fact that money is cheaper to get your hands on, 324 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 3: and that's not necessarily a bad thing because if money 325 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: is cheaper to get your hands on and housing prices 326 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: are a little bit more expensive, Yeah, we don't like 327 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: the idea that we're spending more money, but it's actually 328 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: reflective of a very healthy and thriving economy, and that's 329 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: what we want. When it comes to retail and consumer 330 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: share that they could also benefit. So if homeowners aren't 331 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: spending as much on their mortgage repayments, they have more 332 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: discretionary cash, right, Like you can actually afford to go 333 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: out for a drink after work, you can actually spend 334 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: some more money on shopping or dining or even talking 335 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 3: about travel again, if that was completely off the cards 336 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: for you, and that gives us a really good boost 337 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: to our retail sector. It gives us a boost to 338 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: entertainment and even tourism shares. And of course we're talking 339 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: about tech earlier, but tech benefits here as well. So 340 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 3: investors often and you, guys, I know you well, you 341 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: love a growth share. Investors in general often favor growth 342 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: shares or growth assets like tech companies. And when interest 343 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 3: rates fall, because borrowing has become cheaper and you're able 344 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: to lend money at less of a rage, these companies 345 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: actually invest more because they're able to access more money 346 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: as well, so they're able to invest more in innovation 347 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 3: and expansion, which often helps the tech industry to boom. 348 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: But in saying that, not every single sector is a 349 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 3: winner when interest rates drop, you might go, oh, everybody 350 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: wins if interest rates are going down, and I get 351 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 3: that on a personal level, but banks which had a 352 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: huge year in twenty twenty four might actually not see 353 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 3: the same level of gains. So if you've got a 354 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: well diversified portfolio, most people, especially if you're buying like 355 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 3: a Top two hundred or a Top one hundred ETF 356 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: most people will own a bank of some form. Lots 357 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: of people might own multiple of the top four banks, 358 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 3: and even though they had a huge year last year, 359 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: lower mortgage rates actually mean that banks are earning less 360 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: money from home loans, which could reduce their profitability and 361 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 3: actually slow how quickly their share price is increasing in value. 362 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: It could also slow down what their dividend payment is. 363 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 3: Does that mean bad things, Absolutely not. But this is 364 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 3: just another reflection of the ebbs and the flows of 365 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: the share market and what that looks like and what 366 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: that means, because you know, when one thing is doing 367 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: really well, something else might not be. And that doesn't 368 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: mean it one's good and one's bad. It just means 369 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: we should always be diversifying when we are investing, because 370 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 3: if tech stocks are doing really well, perhaps your banking 371 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 3: stocks aren't doing as well, and overall your share portfolio 372 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 3: has a really nice, even average return. And I've done 373 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: episodes on diversification and the importance of it. You shouldn't 374 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 3: ever just be investing in one sector because you're like, 375 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: I love text, so I'm only going to invest there. 376 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: I get it, But I would really consider not putting 377 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 3: all your eggs in one basket because you want exposure 378 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: to all the different markets, because as you're hearing me 379 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: talk about today, like when one thing thrives, something else 380 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: is taking a hit, and when something else is taking 381 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 3: a hit, like over here changes like all the different levers, 382 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 3: they work in different and I say really random ways. 383 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 3: And speaking of different levers and things that we're pulling, 384 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: we're also heading towards an election, so we're heading to 385 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 3: the polls and for the next election before the end 386 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: of May, we're going to hear some more information. But 387 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: whenever there is an election, the markets do tend to 388 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: take a lot of notice, like they are paying a 389 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: lot more attention because politics and who is in government 390 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: very very deeply impacts our share price of different assets. 391 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 3: So historically investors are known to be a little bit 392 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: more conservative and we hold off on really big decisions 393 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: in the lead up to elections, which can actually impact 394 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 3: the market and it can slow the market movements. So 395 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 3: some industries like for example, energy and healthcare and property 396 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: could see really big swings depending on potential policy changes. 397 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: So like if one candidate, for example, is not in 398 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: going government is promising you know big you know cuts 399 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: on your stamp duty or tax cuts on property costs, 400 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: you might go, that's really attractive and I'd love to 401 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 3: buy house, but I'm not going to do it unless 402 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: I know that that's a given. So we like hold 403 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: off on these really big decisions to see what's going on, 404 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: or if there's a plan in place right now, you 405 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: might go, oh, I don't want to buy yet, because 406 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's going to last. In past 407 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: election years, the ASX has actually been more volatile, but 408 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: I would say over the long run, market trends do 409 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 3: tend to stay relatively steady. But what's more important is 410 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: actually who wins and how different sectors are then impacted. 411 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: So if labor stays in power, we can actually expect 412 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 3: a relatively continued focus on renewable energy and emissions reduction, 413 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 3: which could essentially shift investment away from coal and fossil fuels, 414 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: which is a big export of ours. But if the 415 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: Coalition wins, on the other hand, we could actually see 416 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 3: stronger support for traditional mining. One thing that we do 417 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 3: know to be true is that when the election is over, 418 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: the markets do tend to stabilize because we love stability, 419 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: right like we love knowing that when we go home 420 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 3: everything is where we left it and when election is coming, 421 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 3: like we don't know who's going to be the captain 422 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: of the ship, right, Like we're just not sure. So 423 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: once that decision is made, whether you're happy with it 424 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 3: or not, the markets do tend to go okay. We 425 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: can breathe a sigh of relief because like we know 426 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: what's going to happen from here on in, and the 427 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: ASX has actually historically rallied and like been quite positive 428 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: after elections. As you know, there's less uncertainty and investors 429 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: are adjusting to new policies and new landscapes because there's 430 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: not going to be more change in the foreseeable future. 431 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: So I guess rather than focusing purely on politics, investors 432 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 3: should really be paying attention to the actual policies that 433 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 3: come out of the election and how they affect the 434 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 3: different industries, obviously the ones that you're investing in or 435 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: planning on investing in, because at the end of the day, 436 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 3: it's actually not just about who is in power, but 437 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 3: it's about what they will do or what they plan 438 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 3: to do once they get into power. So today I 439 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 3: feel like I have yapped at you and I am 440 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 3: wildly passionate about this. I love getting the opportunity to 441 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 3: do a little bit of a market update for you guys. 442 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: We've talked about AI, Trump's tariffs, We've talked about interest rates, 443 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 3: had a good chat about China's economy and the upcoming election. 444 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: And I feel like. 445 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: That sounds like a lot and I don't want that 446 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: to be overwhelming. But the good news is, let's be honest, 447 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: you actually don't need to predict the future or like 448 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: have a really strong grasp of these things to be 449 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: a smart and good investor. Like I am not individually 450 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 3: a better investor than my community are, Like I'm investing 451 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 3: in the same things as you guys, Like I am 452 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: the type of investor that you know. I'm a bit 453 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 3: set and forget, but I'm definitely about long term wins 454 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 3: and a good solid investor understands that markets are always 455 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: going to have their ups and downs, but the real 456 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 3: winner when it comes to investing is long term strategies. 457 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 3: You know, there might be a lot of conversation right 458 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: now about people going, oh, my gosh, have you. 459 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: Seen the video? 460 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 3: Have you seen you know, all of these new things 461 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 3: that you can invest in AI, And we get so 462 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 3: caught up in it thinking that there might be a 463 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 3: get rich quick option or an option that puts us 464 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 3: in the best possible position, But at the end of 465 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 3: the day, long term investors are the winners. So I've 466 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 3: written down a couple of key takeaways that I want 467 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 3: you to keep in mind as we move through the 468 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 3: rest of twenty twenty five. So number one, I already 469 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 3: hit the nail on the head with this one before 470 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: Diversification is key. Never put your money into just one sector. 471 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 3: Like we spoke before about the difference between bank and 472 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 3: tech and how when one does well, the other might 473 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 3: be a little bit. 474 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 2: Off, and vice versa. 475 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 3: And in twenty twenty four last year, banks and tech 476 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 3: both thrived, but mining was actually struggling, and things could actually. 477 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: Completely shift this year. 478 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 3: So if you're not sure where to start, and you're 479 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: like ve like you said banks and tech might not 480 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 3: do as well, or vice versa, like should I be 481 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 3: investing in mining, like I don't know what this means? 482 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: Like why not consider an exchange traded fund? I talk 483 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 3: about them all the time if you want to go 484 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 3: and look, I've done a whole heap of podcasts on 485 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: understanding ETFs. But they are a fantastic way to automatically 486 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 3: diversify your risk like they are a fantastic way of 487 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: getting into the market, and just knowing I haven't put 488 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 3: all my eggs in one basket, I have actually, you know, 489 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: immediately diversified across a number of different industries, across a 490 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 3: number of different sectors. And I think that's low key, 491 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: very sexy. But you could pick them in terms of 492 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 3: your sector or industry as well. So say you're like Pavia, 493 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: I really like tech. Well, that's super exciting and I'm 494 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 3: glad that you want to invest in tech. Have you 495 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: considered a tech specific ETF so that you could potentially 496 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 3: invest into the space that we're passionate about, but give 497 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 3: yourself a better long term chance. Instead of just picking 498 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: one asset or one company inside the tech space, why 499 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 3: not go and pick a number of them so that 500 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: you can get exposure to all of them. The second 501 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: thing I want you to understand, and I've spoken about 502 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: this before about the ebbs and the flows of the 503 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 3: market and how backtracking. I've said this on the podcast before, 504 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: but over your lifetime, you're probably going to see at 505 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 3: least seven market dips, Like that's a lot of market dips, 506 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: and that feels tumultuous, and that is going to put 507 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: a pit in the bottom of your stomach every single time. 508 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 3: Like I'm a retired financial advisor and that still happens 509 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 3: to me when I log into my share trading platform 510 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: and I see my stocks are down, like I'd question 511 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: have I done the right things? Like what's going on here? 512 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 3: And I really need to remember that at the end 513 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: of the day, market dips can create opportunities. When a 514 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: share price drops because of volatility, whether it's Trump jumping 515 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: up and down online or on a stage talking about 516 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: his tariffs, or China's slow down or something else, it's 517 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: not always a bad thing. And if you're investing in strong, 518 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: good companies that have a proven track record, these dips 519 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: in their share price could actually be a really good 520 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: opportunity to buy quality stocks at a discount. And that's, 521 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: from my perspective, a really great opportunity. If you're like 522 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: looking at a particular stock and you've decided it's a 523 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 3: really good stock, I've been following it for a while, 524 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 3: I think that it could be a great opportunity. Like 525 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: if you were looking at Navidia, for example, and you 526 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: saw that on that day their share price dropped by 527 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 3: seventeen percent. You could see it two ways. You could 528 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 3: have been like, oh my god, and a video dropped 529 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: by seventeen percent. That makes me feel sick. Maybe it's 530 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: not as good of an asset as I thought it was. 531 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: I'm going to steer clear because that type of volatility 532 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 3: is wild. Or you could have looked at the company 533 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 3: and thought, actually, I did my research. They're still you know, 534 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 3: providing these chips. They are a really big part of 535 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: the you know, global economy. When it comes to AI, 536 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 3: maybe that's an opportunity to get a seventeen percent discount 537 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 3: because I was already looking at paying market value for 538 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: it just to get in. So you could see it 539 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 3: one of two ways. Neither way is correct or incorrect. 540 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 3: It's all about perception and you're making a decision that 541 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 3: is in line with your values and what you want 542 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: to achieve. And speaking, I guess more about AI in 543 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: tech when it comes to Deep Seek, their rise, I 544 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: would say has shown just how fast and how quickly 545 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: moving the AI space is. It's ever evolving, And to 546 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 3: me that's a little bit scary because I'm like, this 547 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 3: is actually crazy. Like I can ask chat, GPT anything 548 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 3: and you're telling me that this stuff is going to 549 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 3: get even smarter and that this space is only just started. 550 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: And I feel like innovation is happening every day, and 551 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 3: innovation is going to continue to drive opportunities in tech stocks. 552 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: So it's definitely worth keeping an eye on them and 553 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 3: on the space. And I don't think that deep Seek 554 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: is the only one that's going to rise. I think 555 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 3: that there's going to be other people and other organizations 556 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: that make news and make it to the media this 557 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 3: year for discovering different things and being on the forefront 558 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: of things. And I think it's also important that when 559 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 3: you see these tech companies, like you see deep Seek 560 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my gosh, like I need to 561 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: get in on that, because I missed out on when 562 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: Navidia was selling for the first time, and I missed 563 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: out on the rise of Xyzed. Like there's always going 564 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 3: to be another opportunity. And if something is being spoken 565 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 3: about consistently in the media, that doesn't necessarily mean it 566 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 3: is a really good investment decision for you. Sometimes if 567 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 3: the media has finally gotten hold of it and the 568 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 3: share price has absolutely skyrocketed, that actually is the biggest 569 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: point of risk. In investment because we can't be sure 570 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 3: that their share price has increased because the company's good. 571 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 3: It could have just increased because so many people are 572 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 3: talking about it and so many people are purchasing it. 573 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: And if you get a mass amount of people purchasing 574 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 3: one asset, it's share price increases, and it could just 575 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 3: be due to popularity, and it's like overly inflated share price. 576 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 3: Now is something that you're considering because of that herd mentality, 577 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 3: and I just don't want you to fall for it, 578 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 3: so we need to be really careful. Now, let's just 579 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 3: wrap up on that, because I feel like I could 580 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: talk about this until literally the cows come home. But 581 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 3: I guess after all of this, I hope I haven't 582 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: overwhelmed you. I hope you want more conversations like this 583 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: because I am so ready to have them. But I 584 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: want you to remember that successful investors they're patient, They 585 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 3: are kind of boring, like we are diversified informed, like 586 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 3: we know that markets are always going to recover because 587 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 3: history shows us that. Literally, like, go and look at 588 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: the share market price over one hundred year period, even 589 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 3: after every single downturn, the share market bounces back over 590 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 3: time and not only does it bounce back, but it 591 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 3: goes up even higher than where it was before, Like, 592 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 3: there is no need for you to time the market 593 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 3: because the real investors that are making real money are 594 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 3: investing consistently over the long term and trusting their long 595 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 3: term strategy as opposed to trying to chase the next 596 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 3: tech stock, Like, please remember that, so stick to your strategy, 597 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 3: keep learning, And I would say most importantly, you can 598 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 3: be excited about short term noise, like you can do 599 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 3: what I do and like dive in and watch every 600 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 3: single TikTok on na video. You can look it up 601 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 3: and read every single news article, like I have my 602 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 3: Google alerts on for na video so that I know 603 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: what's going on because I'm just so interested in it. 604 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 3: But don't let that short term noise shake your confidence 605 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 3: when it comes to being a solid investor, like you 606 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 3: are making decisions for future you and just because one 607 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 3: person said something doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to 608 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 3: stick and be the best thing. I promise you've got 609 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 3: this now. If you want to hear more episodes like this, 610 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 3: please tell us.
