Today's Gonna Get Wild. We are back 27 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: with another investing episode. As you can tell, I'm trying 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: my hardest to come up with as many topics related 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: to investment as possible. Let me ask you a question. 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Do you think it is possible to invest in a 31 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: high inflation environment? Beck? 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 4: Okay, So I'm going to have to break this one 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 4: down real quick because I did not know what high 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: inflation actually meant? But it is it true that high 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 4: inflation is the rising cost. 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: Of living in jer Yeah? Amazing, that's right, Okay, amazing. Yeah. 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: So I mean if you're not really affected by it, 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: if you're making enough money to not really see a 39 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: change or that much of a shift in your like 40 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: how much you have to spend or how much you 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: have left over at the end of the pay cycle. 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 4: Then I don't think that there would be a big problem. 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm getting on this topic. I hope early enough 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: so that you guys continue to invest during this period, 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: because I've seen some stuff online that says it's not 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: worth it, and I couldn't tell you harder, harder? Can 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: I tell? You harder. I don't know if that's the 48 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: right terminology, but you can. You can do it back, right, Okay, 49 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: stress highly enough that it is fine to invest during 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a high inflation environment. So obviously there's a lot of 51 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: privilege in that because during the time of peak inflation, 52 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: other people are struggling. And if this episode for some 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: reason is triggering you into feeling like other people have 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: things that you currently don't, maybe it's not the episode 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: for you. Honestly, I think that mindset is going to 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: derail your confidence and make you feel worse off. And 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: I think that the best thing we can, I guess 58 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: see for our community is that quote that I use 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: all the time, arising hidlifts soulships.

So first things first, I want to start 95 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: off by saying that we are in a super stressful 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: economic situation right now, but where possible, I kind of 97 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: want you to try and zoom out and remember that 98 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: the economy is like an ecosystem, or even like the 99 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: seasons during a year. It is never stagnant and things 100 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: are always che What we're in right now is the 101 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: balancing out period of what was uncharacteristically low interest rates. 102 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: They were actually never going to be low forever. And 103 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: I feel like we heard that a lot. People would 104 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: say things like, oh, Beck, that money's never going to 105 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: be as cheap as it is today. Maybe I heard 106 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: that a lot more because I worked in money, but 107 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: people would always say, oh, money is cheap right now, 108 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: it's great time to invest or. Money's cheap right now. 109 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: It's a great time to buy property, because you know 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: that makes sense. But in the same way, this season 111 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: is also going to pass, and we are going to 112 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: find a new status and a new update and a 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: new I guess normal you could say, so it's compening 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: it's comforting to know, but it's also just one of 115 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: those things where I think, in every circumstance, and you know, 116 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: my business partner Kate in Zella Money, because we run 117 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: a mortgage broken company together. Kate and I talk about 118 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: this all the time, and it's just this idea that 119 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: there was this concept of money so cheap, and we 120 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: would talk to people who'd be like, oh, but it's 121 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: only two percent to borrow, you know, half of the 122 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: million dollars, Maybe I should just got up to seven 123 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: hundred thousand. And a good mortgage broker would have talked 124 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: to you about your personal circumstances and whether you can 125 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: go up to that or whether you shouldn't, or what 126 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: that looks like, and takes your entire picture into consideration, 127 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: Whereas I think a lot of people had a few 128 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: cheeky mortgage brokers who were like, oh, yeah, Beck, if 129 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 1: you want to take more, take more, money's cheap. Whereas 130 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: you're broker, if they are a good broker, or even 131 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: anyone dealing with you in a money situation, really shouldn't 132 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: be pushing you to take more when it's unnecessary, or 133 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: more when it maybe isn't the best financial decision because 134 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: anyone who works in the money space knew we and 135 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: equivocally knew that two percent wouldn't last. And I mean, 136 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm in that position where I have a mortgage it 137 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: has now gone up. I think my mortgage interest rate 138 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: made me nearly be sick the other day. Grateful that 139 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm in a position where we can still afford. That 140 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: things have shifted, that is fine, But we're like five 141 00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: and a half percent now. 142 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 143 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: When we first got our mortgage back, it was at 144 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: two percent. Okay, side mortgage repayments have more than doubled. 145 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: Oh I see, I say that is absolutely not a complaint. 146 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about that at all. It's just that's 147 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: the way of the world, right, And I'm grateful to 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: have been in a position where when my husband Steve 149 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: and I took on that mortgage, we went, all right, 150 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: how much can we afford? And Kate, who obviously you know, 151 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: helped us out loss. Yeah, I'm going to abuse that 152 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: relationship to it till the day I died. But Kate said, oh, 153 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: you can borrow up to X. No, No, no, no, 154 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't want X. How about I've done my budget 155 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: and cash flow. I think this is going to be 156 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: more obtainable because if things go awry, then I can 157 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: afford it. But then on the flip side, I'm just 158 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna have more free cash flow, more free cash flow sexy. 159 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I can go on holidays, i can still enjoy my life. 160 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I can still do heaps of things that I want 161 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: to do. But I'm not in a situation where I 162 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: am kind of like a slave to my mortgage. Yes, 163 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people got in the position where they're like, 164 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, two percent. I could afford that two percent, 165 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: but hadn't conceptualized what if it doubles, What if it 166 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: goes up to four percent, what if it gets up 167 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: to nearly six percent? What if we actually are in 168 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: a situation where our mortgage interest of payments double, Can 169 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: we actually afford that or with that significantly compromise our lives? 170 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: And a lot of people are in that circumstance right now. 171 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: So it's important to zoom out when we're making any decision, 172 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 1: but especially when we're talking about investment, because when in doubt, 173 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: zoom out. That's a good phrase. But also, if you 174 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: look at the Australian share market over any thirty year 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: period of time. No one has ever lost if they 176 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: stayed invested right thirty years though it is a long time. Yeah, 177 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: I can find you heaps of examples of people that 178 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: put their money in four years later they're like, oh, 179 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: I've been investing for ages and have made no money 180 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: and took it out and made a loss. That would 181 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: absolutely happen. Stay in there, if you stay in the market, 182 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: that is what The most important thing is, getting exposure 183 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: to the peaks and troughs. They might feel really painful 184 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: when the market's off and you're like, I'm not getting 185 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: as much banged from my buck right now, And when 186 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: the market's really on, you're like, oh, making hay while 187 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: the sun is shining. It all averages out to be 188 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: a good return, okay, But if you're exiting the market 189 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: because that trough is really scaring you, that could actually 190 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: mean a lot of financial harm to you. So it's 191 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: actually all about and we'll talk about it later mindset, 192 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: but it's actually all about really conceptualizing and understanding these things. 193 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of conversation in our Facebook 194 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: group on Instagram in my dms of victoria or inflation 195 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: is so high, should I still be investing. I see 196 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: if it works for you, my friend. Yes, if it 197 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: works for you, if you can afford it, and everyone can. 198 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I suppose if you have like a couple bucks, Yes, spare. 199 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: I could talk about this forever, Beck, but let's get 200 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: into the nuts and bolts of it. You asked me 201 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: about inflation. 202 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: Yes. 203 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: Inflation is the general rising prices in an economy over 204 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: a specified period of time. The RBA, or the Reserve 205 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Bank of Australia, typically targets a low and stable rate 206 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: of inflation of between two and three percent each year, 207 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: which can signify a growing economy. So slow and steady 208 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: wins the race. According to the RBA, inflation, though it 209 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: can creep into the double digits and come as an 210 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: economic shock. Really, Australians annual interest rate, Beck, you're not 211 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: going to be surprised seven point eight percent, okay at 212 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: this point in time, right right right, And it's still 213 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: fluctuating and it's going up and down. So the RBA 214 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: is the bank to the other banks. Sure, so Combank, NAB, 215 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: the big four. They don't just automatically have money. The 216 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: RBA is like the big dog government. 217 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: Bank, Mama. 218 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: They set the rules. They're the big dogs. The RBA 219 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: says our interest rates two percent. But if one of 220 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: the big four banks then says, all right, well I'm 221 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: still going to be providing mortgages to our clients. Well, 222 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: then they're borrowing money from the RBA two percent and 223 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: they actually have to pass along that interest rate, and 224 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: that's what dictates our interest rates here in Australia. The 225 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: big banks, Yeah, they might have heaps and heaps and 226 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: heaps of money, but they actually do borrow from the RBA. 227 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: So if the RBA's cash rate, when that gets said, 228 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: I think sometimes people like, oh, that's a bit confusing. 229 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: That's the amount of money it costs our big banks 230 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: to borrow from the RBA. 231 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: Right. 232 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: So by the RBA increasing their cash rate and saying, look, 233 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: we're going to make borrowing money more expensive, do you 234 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: know what they're doing in that circumstance. 235 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 3: I don't. 236 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: You're like, nah, you've lost me already. So when the 237 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: RBA increases their rates, what that means is things are 238 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: going to be more expensive for people, like the trickle 239 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: down effect means that me, as a customer of one 240 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: of the banks, because I have a mortgage, my life's 241 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: going to get more expensive. My mortgage rates are going 242 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: to increase. I'm going to have less disposable income, which 243 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: means there's less disposable income going around in the economy, 244 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: which means inflation can't creep up as fast. So the 245 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: RBA are increasing their cash rates and saying, look, we're 246 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: going to borrow money out at a higher rate because 247 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: we don't want inflation to go wild. And after COVID, 248 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: I feel like COVID put a little bit of a 249 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: hold on inflation for a while there, and then everything 250 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: went back to let's call it business as usual or 251 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: our new normal or whatever everyone's calling it. Everyone was like, okay, cool, 252 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: we are going to have to start pushing some of 253 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: these you know, increases in price onto our consumers. And 254 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: everything went like this, like travel has gone wild. Travel 255 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: can't happen in my family as easily if I'm paying 256 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: more on my mortgage. They're trying to keep our economy 257 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: a little bit slower. We're trying to slow the growth 258 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: of our economy. Does that make sense that I have 259 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: or if you had less money to spend on things 260 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: that were important to you and you really had to prioritize, 261 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: maybe just the basics for a little while. Yep, the 262 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: rest of the economy and the businesses around that they 263 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: aren't growing as much because you're not funding them. Right, 264 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: So if those businesses aren't being funded, the economy growth 265 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: starts to slow. And if economy growth starts to slow, 266 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: it gets back to that two and three percent that 267 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the RBA is trying to target to mean that we 268 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: have slow and steady growth instead of such rapid growth 269 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: that we can't afford things. Rental crisises happen, things that 270 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: were previously affordable and not affordable anymore, and it gets 271 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: out of control. So the RBA, as much as a 272 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: lot of people online are like a, a'd awful, They've 273 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: increased the cash rate again, it's the worst. That's them 274 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: trying to do their best. Okay, it's them trying to 275 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: do their best to make sure that our economy gets 276 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: back to a more stable environment. 277 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 4: Okay, that's good to know. I was going to ask 278 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 4: why does inflation matter? But I guess you did kind 279 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 4: of answer it in that it's inflation matters. 280 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: It's an invocator of a growing environment and a growing economy, 281 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: Like it can be a really sexy thing, right, Like 282 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: looking at She's on the money. The rate of inflation 283 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: in She's on the Money has been really beautiful four 284 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: years ago the podcast started and it's kind of gone 285 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: up and up and up from there. But what if 286 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: absolutely every business in the entire economy did that. Where's 287 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: the money coming from to fund that type of growth 288 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: in every single business in Australia? Ah okay, I see, 289 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: we just don't have the cash to support that. And 290 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: when you do, it comes from other places. And when 291 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: you have an environment where inflation keeps increasing, people kind 292 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: of get greedy in a way, right, I see, And 293 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's not a nice environment to be in. 294 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: So inflation matters because essentially it takes your dollar and 295 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: makes it worthless. Let's talk about I recently gave someone 296 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: in our team pay rise, right, and the way that 297 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: I calculate pay rise is you know, I'm really proud 298 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: of it because the way that I calculate it, I 299 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: think is the way everyone should calculate it. And I said, 300 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: all right, what's the rate of inflation? Seven point eight percent? Great, 301 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: we'll start there. You get a seven point eight percent 302 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: increase in your pay this year. 303 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: That's very nice. 304 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: It's not nice from my perspective, that for me is 305 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: the bare minimum sure, because if inflation has increased by 306 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: seven point eight percent, my team member is having her 307 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: expenses increased by that. So today, if I had not 308 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: given her a pay rise, she wouldn't be able to 309 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: afford the same groceries that she was able to afford 310 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: last year. Is that fair? 311 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: Doesn't feel like it. 312 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's fair either. So above and 313 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: beyond that, we can then talk about what pay rice 314 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: she deserved. But I thought, as an employer, I needed 315 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: to go, Okay, well, if this individual can not afford 316 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: to buy the same groceries and put the same roof 317 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: over her head this year as she could last year, Like, 318 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: let's pretend bread went up. It absolutely has. But let's 319 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: pretend last year a loaf of bread was four dollars. 320 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: This year it might be six dollars. That's two dollars 321 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: less you have in your account for something else. Right, 322 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: life is just more expensive today than it was last year. 323 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: And that's essentially what inflation does. Inflation kind of erodes 324 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: your purchasing power over time, and as it kind of 325 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: takes hold, a dollar is going to buy fewer things 326 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: then you could purchase previously. 327 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 3: I see. 328 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: Okay, well, I have so many questions right now, and 329 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: I don't even know where to start. But if I'm 330 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 4: just curious, this is silly. But if the inflation rate 331 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 4: goes back down and the cost of living kind of 332 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: like steadies out again, we take that money back from 333 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 4: your employee? 334 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, no, I will not, absolutely not, because 335 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't go backwards. That's scary. It might go backwards, right, okay, 336 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: But like if you look at a graph over time 337 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: and we started tracking it, it might go back down, 338 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: but that's not going back down as in hey beck, 339 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: stuff's actually just whole heap cheaper. Now the rate of 340 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: growth of things increasing has just slowed. So that loaf 341 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: of bread it's now six dollars. That's the base rate, 342 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: but it's not going to creep up to seven dollars 343 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: as quickly as it was the year before. Right, does 344 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: that make sense? 345 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: That doesn't make sense. 346 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: It's not that. Okay, Well, now it's back down to 347 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: two percent. No, no, no, that's seven point eight percent. 348 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: Was a line in the sand. Now we're moving along 349 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: and it's just going to take less time, and it's 350 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: just going to mean that growth happens a little bit 351 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: more slowly, so the RBA going back to them setting 352 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: the cash rate. They want between two and three percent 353 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: every year. Right now, things are growing way more than that. 354 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: They're trying to drag us back down so that growth 355 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. I see so hearing this, Yes, I'm thinking 356 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 1: this is awful, terrible, very scary. But are there any God, Yeah, 357 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of like Okay. As I said before, inflation 358 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: is actually a good thing. There's a reason the RBA 359 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: actually has a target of inflation, not keeping things the same, 360 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: because that is a good predictor of a strong and 361 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: good and stable and reliable economy. We want to grow. 362 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: As we said before, slow and steady wins the race, 363 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: so we actually want it to be between two and 364 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: three percent. Sometimes it goes backwards, sometimes like right now, 365 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: it is higher. Low and stable inflation is a good indicator, 366 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: or can be a good indicator to be a little 367 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: bit more economically correct of a growing economy. It benefits 368 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: holders of fixed rate debts like mortgages. So a lot 369 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: of people have been messaging me recently, like about to 370 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: come off my fixed rate, and I don't know what 371 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: to do. Talk to mortgage broken, my friend asap. It 372 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: encourages consumption today rather than later, so we're not like 373 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: saving up for things as we were before. So like 374 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: the holidays and stuff, they kind of come to a 375 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: grinding holt because we can't afford them. But then there 376 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: are obviously a few cons As you said, it does 377 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: feel a little bit negative. Inflation reduces your purchasing power 378 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: since essentially every dollar that you have purchases less stuff, 379 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: higher prices throughout the economy ends up hurting retail consumers. 380 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: It's very tough on retirees that are living on fixed incomes. 381 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: If you've predicted that you're going to have X amount 382 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: every single year, obviously when things absolutely spike, that's unforeseen 383 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: and you just have a fixed income, and then it 384 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: does prompt action by the RBA. So the RBA is 385 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: the Reserve Bank of Australia that we've been talking about. 386 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, So back to the idea of seasons, every 387 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 4: season has its possibility. Then what are the possibilities of 388 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 4: this high inflation environment. 389 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: Well, inflation is a great season I think to kind 390 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: of re examine your portfolio and what your strategy is doing. 391 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: I think any economic pressure is good for you as 392 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: an individual to kind of like re prompt how you 393 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: feel about things, because when we start our investment journeys, 394 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: often we're really gung ho and we're so excited about it. 395 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: And I get it because I am too. Like I 396 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: remember starting investing out, I'm like, I'm going to be rich. 397 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: I am setting myself up for a very secure financial future, 398 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: and I cannot wait. But then, like the economy starts 399 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: to take hold and you kind of see the effects 400 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: of had in your portfolio, and you feel a little 401 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: bit uncertain, or you feel a little bit unsure, and 402 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: things get rocky and you're not sure if you should 403 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: exit the market or stay, or do I put some 404 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: more in. But we really shouldn't be burying our heads 405 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: in the sand at this point. We need to re 406 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: examine our portfolio to make sure it's actually a lot 407 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: to our values and our goals and what we're trying 408 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: to achieve. One of the best strategies in a time 409 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: like this is actually to ensure that you're properly diversified 410 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: and fully invested. Money invested into shares tends to outpace 411 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: inflation in the long run, so you might be looking 412 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: at your portfolio today am the I don't know what 413 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: you're talking about. My portfolio has returned five percent and 414 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: you just said inflation is seven point eight percent. I 415 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: think I'm going backwards. But when we look at the 416 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: numbers and we actually look at the data, yes, for 417 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: a point in time, that might be absolutely true, and 418 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: I will not argue with you on that. But again, 419 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: when in doubt, zoom out and look at the bigger picture, 420 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: and usually it ends up or most of the time, 421 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: it ends up outperforming what inflation was because this rate 422 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: of inflation will not exist for as long as the 423 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: rate of growth in your investment portfolio. So we know 424 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: that over the last twenty years, the average rate of 425 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: return of the Australian share markets about eleven percent, right, Okay, 426 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: So obviously that's just the Australian shair market. There's lots 427 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: of different share markets and that's not a promise that 428 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: your portfolio will return that. It's just that's the fact 429 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: of the matter when it comes down to the data. 430 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's very pretty So now's the 431 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: time to maybe have a think about some additional things 432 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: that you could add to your portfolio that might make 433 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: sense if you only have shares, and if you've got 434 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: some cash, maybe you would consider things like maybe some 435 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: investments in real estate. You can invest in real estate 436 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: via shares if you want to do that. You don't 437 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: have to go out and buy a family home or 438 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: an apartment to do that. Commodities or even Treasury indexed bonds, 439 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: they often serve as a further diversification support for your portfolio. 440 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: Cash on the sidelines is essentially guaranteed to lose money. 441 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: Not that sexy. So right now, if you've got ten 442 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a cash account just sitting there, absolutely 443 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: no interest rate on their bank account, it's working at 444 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: negative seven point eight percent, like having a desk. It's 445 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: costing you seven point eight percent per anm right now 446 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: to not have that money working for you. But people 447 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: don't see it that way, no, Because right now I 448 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: can see ten thousand dollars in that account, and let's 449 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: pretend I have absolutely no fees on that account, and 450 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I just let it sit dormant for the next twelve months. 451 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: I'll go back in twelve months that account will have 452 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars exactly in that account. It's not going 453 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: to have seven point eight percent less but that ten 454 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars will buy you seven point eight percent less 455 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: of stuff than it was able to today when you 456 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to invest it and you didn't. 457 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: That is a. 458 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: Really, really good I'm realated, dramatic. Thanks for coming. 459 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: Oh I love this because I was going to say 460 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 4: I should not be doing this, but I started putting 461 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 4: money in a piggybank thinking that that was a. 462 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 3: Good It's a good start. I'm going to not do that. 463 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: No, but looking at your financial circumstances, that works. Does 464 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: it mean that I'm not sitting on some cash. Absolutely not. 465 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: I absolutely have a savings account. You're not going to 466 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: touch that. I'm not going to invest that. I have 467 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: an emergency fund. I will not be investing that because 468 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: the entire purpose of an emergency fund is to have 469 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: access to quick cash and capital, and that's that money's job. 470 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: I don't want you to take from this that every 471 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: single dollar you have needs to be invested and you 472 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: need to be getting a return otherwise it's not worth it. 473 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: That's not what we're saying. But I think we need 474 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: to drive home this. If you've been thinking about investing, 475 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: then yeah, like it's a good time to have a chat. 476 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: But if you have an emergency fund that's doing its job, 477 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: it's not meant to be there. Yeah, And I know 478 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: you're in the circumstance because we talked about it openly 479 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: before where you're like, I just need to start saving. 480 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: That's a bloody great start. 481 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 3: Cool, Okay. 482 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: I don't want you to think that me having this 483 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: conversation about it now is a good time to invest. Like, yes, 484 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: if you're in the financial position to invest, it's gonna 485 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: cost you a lot more long term if you invest 486 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: at a time that you can't afford, because what happens 487 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: twelve months from now you have to pull that money 488 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: out to afford something else, and you lose money because 489 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the sheer market might not have recovered yet. That's a 490 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: really bad outcome, right, So I think it's really important 491 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: to make sure that you're making decisions that are based 492 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: on you, not the way that that example came across. 493 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: So that example, I still stand by it. It's a 494 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: great example because the purchasing power of ten thousand dollars 495 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: today is going to be less if you don't do 496 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: anything with it in twelve months. And if that motivated 497 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: you to go and invest, that's sexy. Yes, But if 498 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: you were like, yeah, but the that ten thousand dollars 499 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: is my emergency fund, I'll go get it quin leave 500 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: it there. That makes absolute sense. But what we want 501 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: is the education to know that every dollar in your 502 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: account has been thought about and has been allocated a job. 503 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: If that money's job is to make you money, then 504 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: go get it. But if that money's job is to 505 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: keep you feeling safe, leave it there. Yeah, does that 506 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: make sense? 507 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 3: That makes so much sense. 508 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: I love that. 509 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 4: Okay, thank you so much for that. I think it's 510 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: a really good place to leave it for Now. Let's 511 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 4: stick have a little break and come back and talk. 512 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: More about it. 513 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: Okay, we're back, and welcome back to you. 514 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: I always get so fired up on these episodes. 515 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: I'm like, let's talk about investments, and then I know 516 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 4: it's time for you to have a little tea, a 517 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: little breather. 518 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: We all know that was a fake break. Again. Back, 519 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: I've got to pay you. No one on this team 520 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: doesn't get paid. 521 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. It was a fake break. Okay, 522 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: it was a fake break. 523 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: It was a fake break to get to talk about 524 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: Chairsya's and like I do feel like Chazy's are a 525 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: part of our team, like ten out of ten, very 526 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: good team, very good people. Do you know what they 527 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: love my dog? Oh yeah, well. 528 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: There's a place at our table for them. 529 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: Exactly. 530 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: Let's get back. 531 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 4: To the investment chat. Exciting, exciting, fun investment chat. 532 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's make this conversation a little bit more confusing. Okay, 533 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: have you heard of like hedging an investment hedging? Yes? Yeah, 534 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: like hear it on like the show's like suits. Yes, 535 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: where you. 536 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 4: Like plot your session in several different areas and some 537 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 4: that are competing, like say, for example, I can't actually 538 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: I'm really doing probably. 539 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 3: A bad job. 540 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: No studies study? Is that? 541 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 3: Just forget everything I see? 542 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: No, I really liked where you were going with that. 543 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: Let's maybe talk about inflation hedges in the case. So, 544 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: a hedge in finance means to take an offsetting position. 545 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: Who are absolutely correct? You kind of like you know 546 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: hedge a bet? You might go, oh, well, what if 547 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't work out? So in real estate, single family 548 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: homes financed with low fixed rate mortgages tend to perform 549 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: well during periods of inflation. Do you know why we 550 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: know that because TikTok's going wild about how much they 551 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: are costing to lease out at the moment. A right like, 552 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: I always talk about TikTok because I basically live on TikTok. 553 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: Am I creating enough content on there? Hell? No, am 554 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: I just consuming the content mindlessly scrolling my life away. 555 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: Hell yes, that's what I'm doing. As inflation climbs, your 556 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: property is likely to appreciate in value while the monthly 557 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: service cost of your mortgage either stays the same or 558 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: slightly increases. This is at the core of home equity, 559 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: which can rapidly increase your net worth very very sexy. 560 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: By purchasing real estate, you'll also they call it insulating. 561 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: You're also insulating yourself from rising rents, as they are 562 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: likely to rise during inflation surges. We do need to 563 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: take into consideration. They're obviously the rising costs of mortgage repayments, 564 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: because as I said before, might have more than doubled. 565 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: And that makes me feel quite sick because I know 566 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: that it's not just me that's happening too. Again, super 567 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: grateful to be in a position where that is not 568 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: putting significant stress on our lives. We just had to 569 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: reshuffle a few things maybe push a few goals off 570 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: a little bit, and I feel grateful that we're in 571 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: that position. But for some people, mortgages right now are 572 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: absolutely destroying them. Let's just be honest about that. The 573 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: second thing we want to talk about is what's called 574 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: a value share or a value stock if you're a 575 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: little bit more American. Some research has shown that value 576 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: shares tend to do better than growth stocks during periods 577 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: of inflation, which I think is interesting because we have 578 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: done a whole series on what a value share is, 579 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: what a growth share is, how all of these things work. 580 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: So if you haven't listened to that, please go back 581 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: and have a listen, because I feel like there was 582 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: so much information in that that people said was really 583 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: powerful and really helpful. But value shares are companies that 584 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: have strong earnings relative to their current share price. They're 585 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: also known to have like really good cash flows, which 586 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: investors typically value when prices are rising. When prices a 587 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: rising and things are getting more expensive, you know what's 588 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: really sexy knowing that the company you're investing in has 589 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: lots of money coming in the door. That makes me 590 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: feel really good. Probably not if you're poor. To Davis 591 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: Holmes like, that's not going to work out. I heard 592 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, not great. But do you know what 593 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: it is great about that? And I said to you guys, 594 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: this would happen is that all of those Porter Davis 595 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: contracts have been bought or transferred over to another company 596 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: to finish. So people aren't going to be left in 597 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: the loach. What is I treat hold on, hold on, 598 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be okay. Someone is going to want 599 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: those contracts to finish your houses. It is okay. But 600 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: a company like Porter Davis as a good example of that, 601 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: because I feel like it's been all over the media 602 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: and we've all heard about it had terrible cash flow 603 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: and could not keep up with the rising cost of prices. 604 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: And that's not a reflection on them having terrible work 605 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: or being a bad company or any of those things. 606 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: But if you don't have money coming in the door, 607 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: you can't pay your contractors, you can't pay your stuff. 608 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: The business has to end. Like that's just a matter 609 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: of fact. I suppose, on the other hand, something like 610 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: a growth share it tends to be a little bit 611 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: more sensitive to change in interest Over the past decade, 612 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: when inflation has been conspicuously absent. Growth stocks have enjoyed 613 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: a pretty good period, but lately value shares have been 614 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: I guess staged for a comeback. The current environment makes 615 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: their continuing success likely, though, So would you say what 616 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: is better? I mean, I think that's a question that 617 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: might pop up. B Is a value share better than 618 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: a growth share? The answer is no, nothing's better. Like 619 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: different things perform well in different economies and different periods 620 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: of economic change, it does not mean one should be 621 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: preferenced over the other. That's why we promote having a 622 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: really well diversified portfolio. It's why we talk about, you know, 623 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: having some here, having some there, making sure that you 624 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: don't have all your eggs in one basket. Because if 625 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: you've got some growth stocks that are good companies, maybe 626 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: they're not performing as well as they could during this period. 627 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: They're just chugging along doing their best. Your value stocks, though, 628 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: they're the ones like pulling away. They're the ones putting 629 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: in the hard yards during this period of time, so 630 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: that you know, if the value stocks or the value 631 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: shares are doing really well up here and there, your 632 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: growth shares they just trying their best. They're just trying 633 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: to get in this economy. Over time, the average of 634 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: your overall return is going to be a good average. 635 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: You're not going to get the highs of the highs, 636 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: You're not going to get the lows of the lows. 637 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: Everything will kind of balance out, and that is what 638 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: we want from investment. We just want to be safe. 639 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to just have one thing that does 640 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: really well in only one economy. So like playing board games, 641 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: you just want a little bit of everything. In your 642 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: next role, you don't know what you're going to get, 643 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: but you're probably going to have a good. 644 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: Shot exactly, Exactly, like Monopoly, you've got to buy the 645 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 4: light blues and the dark blues exactly. 646 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: I've recently got into a board game called this is 647 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: just showing how nerdy I am. It shows how nerdy 648 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: I am. Like, take us to the next level. Okay, 649 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: I've paid for and download an app on my phone 650 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: so that I can play the board game all my 651 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: floes katan. 652 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: Oh my god, same v serious the eight dollars one? 653 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 3: Can we play? 654 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: Can we play Togain?

You go 668 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: into the trade and you trade four bricks for one straw. 669 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 3: Anyway, we can definitely talk exactly excited. 670 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: Alright, alright, you can come over. We can have a 671 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: wine night where we play Katan real life. 672 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 3: Ktar real life. 673 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: I have the board game. I bought it online. Okay, cool, 674 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: let's go to the easter. One of our friends brought 675 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: it down and I was like so skeptical, right, No, 676 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: I was skeptical. Oh yeah, I don't know about this game. 677 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: Was one of Steve's mates. So I just thought it 678 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: was like. 679 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 3: You know, dumb boygo, dumb boygo. 680 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: I am the dumb boy for it. 681 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 3: Unfortunately we are the dumb boys now, all right. 682 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: Well, you know what dumb boys like to do. They 683 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: also like to use complicated words like commodities. Yeah, that 684 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: is the next thing I want to talk about, So 685 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: to commodities, complicated word for what is essentially things like 686 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: gold and other precious metals, Like can you just say 687 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: you're invested in gold? Yeah, Like it'd be a lot 688 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,239 Speaker 1: easier than gold and other precious metals, as well as 689 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: things like raw materials and various natural resources, which are 690 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: critical to production. As demand increases, prices rising the economy, 691 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: and the cost of production to meet that demand typically 692 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: rises accordingly. So I can tell you this is true 693 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: because the steel in my house is double what it 694 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: was when I got quoted to pay for it last year, 695 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: and now I have no other choice but to pay 696 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: double for the renovation we're doing. And that's okay, again, 697 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: very privileged position to be. But man, I'm feeling it. 698 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit salty about it. 699 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, but can you go no steal or you have? 700 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: You? 701 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: Is it? 702 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: You? You got to you got to get the steal. 703 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: You gotta get the steal, I feel you. Even though 704 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: commodities don't pay dividends or represent any underlying business, they 705 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: are disconnected to the traditional asset classes like shares and bonds, 706 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: and they actually tend to move in an unrelated direction. 707 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: So they're a good way of diversifying. Treasury indexed bonds. 708 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 3: Yes, good. 709 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about this one. 710 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: Bonds are sexy. I think they're really hot. They're really underrated. Actually, 711 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: I feel like a bond is like a happy medium 712 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: between if you're not willing to take on as much 713 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: risk as a share, but you also don't want your 714 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: money just sitting in cash. There's something that if that's 715 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: your circumstance, you might consider. So Treasury indexed bonds, very specific, 716 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: are medium to long term securities where the capital value 717 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: of the security is adjusted for movements in the CPI, 718 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: So in the Consumer Price Index, just paid quarterly hot 719 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: at a fixed rate on the adjusted capital value at maturity. 720 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 1: So maturity just means at the end of the time 721 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: that you agreed to invest for mm. 722 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 3: Hmm, Well, what's it? 723 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: All these confusing more ridiculous? Isn't it? Like I get 724 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: it that you get it? Now, but the fact that 725 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: I have to explain something that shouldn't need explaining, Like 726 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: why can't we just be like, yeah, okay, at the 727 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: end of the term that you agreed to invest, so 728 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: at the maturity of the loan or at the maturity 729 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: of the investment. In this circumstance, investors receive the adjusted 730 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: capital value of the security. So do you know what 731 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: that means? Means you get your cash back, oh, initial 732 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: investment back, but it will be adjusted based on CPI. 733 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: So that's okay, We're all right with that. The value 734 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: adjusted for movement in the CPI is done over the 735 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 1: lifetime of the bond, not just like what it is today. 736 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: So if you were pulling it out today, like let's 737 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: say that your bond matured today, it wouldn't be at 738 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: seven point eight percent. It would be you know, if 739 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: you were in a ten year bond, it would be 740 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: averaged out over those ten years. So it's a little 741 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: bit more palatable than that seven point eight So it's 742 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: not as scary as you think it is. 743 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. 744 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: Okay. 745 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 4: The podcast before, Yeah, you know what we have spoken 746 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 4: about and you haven't mentioned yet, and I'm. 747 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 3: Kind of getting concerned. You usually talk about Warren Buffett. 748 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's real hot. 749 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 3: I haven't seen him. Can you show you a picture 750 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 3: after this? 751 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: I'll show you a picture now so I can get 752 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: your response. 753 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it. 754 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 4: Oh No, honestly, I thought he's kind of cute. 755 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I. 756 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: Mean, Beck, he's like the type of guy that he 757 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: just looks like he would line up behind you at 758 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: the supermarket and you'd let him cut in line.

They're going to try and cut the people 836 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: that they go Okay, cool, we could get another XYZX 837 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: at some point in the future. Yeah. The second best 838 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: protection is a wonderful business, which means a company in 839 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: which the products are in demand even if the company 840 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: does have to raise their prices. Companies that tend to 841 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: withstand an inflationary environment quote must have two characteristics. The 842 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: first is an ability to increase prices rather easily even 843 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: when the product demand is flat and capacity is not 844 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: fully utilized without fear of significant loss of either market 845 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: share or unit volume. And the second is an ability 846 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: to accommodate large dollar volume increases in business often produced 847 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: more by inflation rather than by real growth, with only 848 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: minor additional investment of capital. So those two things are 849 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: really good. So rather than trying to pick individual stocks, 850 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: whether we're in an inflationary period or not, you should 851 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: go with this tried and true method, the index fund 852 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: to have and to hold. Ah Warren Buffett also talks 853 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot about it's time in the market, not timing 854 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: the market. He has been known for identifying companies that 855 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,919 Speaker 1: are on his watch list, which is public. By the way, 856 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: it becomes a public thing. If he's looking into a company, 857 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: he talks about it and shits that. But he has 858 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: been known to watch a company for ten twenty thirty 859 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: years before investing in them. The patients are patience, ain't 860 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: and people being like you're missing out on these things, 861 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: like you're not getting in and he's like, yep, no worries, 862 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: but I'm going to make sure that I'm making the 863 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: right decision for me. And then he does and it 864 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: always works out. No, don't know how he knows what 865 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: he's doing. Everyone's given to it. He's a billionaire. And 866 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: is this something that you say it or does Warren 867 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: Buffet say this? From Little Things, Big Things Grow? No, 868 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: I believe that was the very regal Paul Kelly, Ah, 869 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: Paul Kelly, Yeah, yep, yep, yeah, yeah. I believe that 870 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: was his very very well versed song. 871 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds familiar to me. 872 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: So little Things Things gross, it's beautiful, that's gonna be 873 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: stuck in my head or study stunning. 874 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 4: I really recommend people go back to listen to our 875 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 4: recent Investing Small Amounts episode That works. 876 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh, that was wildly popular, Like I didn't expect it 877 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: to be as popular as it was, but the amount 878 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: of beautiful messages you guys sent me, and let's be honest, 879 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: the spike in download, so that was pretty good. So 880 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: I feel like it was a good EP though, where 881 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: he had good vibes to throughout the. 882 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 3: Good vibes is a really really nice day. 883 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: That was on the fifth of April, So April go 884 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: and have a listen to that. But there are also 885 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: a few things that I want to leave you guys 886 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: with today. One is from Little Things being skill growth. 887 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: The next year is the average investor will experience. Get this, 888 00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: beec approximately seven market corrections during their lifetime, and the 889 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: last was the GFC. Ah, do you know what a 890 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 1: market correction is? No, it's where it absolutely crashes. You're 891 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: going to experience your portfolio look like trash seven times. 892 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. 893 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 4: Oh man, that's a really pretty name for something that's 894 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 4: so diffictating. 895 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not devastating if you understand and your 896 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: mindset is good, and you're in a position where you're like, okay, cool, 897 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: the market is off, My portfolio doesn't look the best, 898 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: but if I hold on to this roller coaster, it 899 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: will go back up right. And we know that after 900 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: the GFC, which was a global financial crisis which happened 901 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, we 902 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: know that some of the best investment returns have come 903 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,399 Speaker 1: after that, Like our market and our economy has more 904 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: than recovered since the GFC, and people talk about that 905 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: as the worst thing in history. And if you go 906 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: on my favorite website is the Vanguard website at the moment, 907 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of favorite websites I have. 908 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: Isn't there too anyway, TikTok, TikTok's and app's TikTok is 909 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: currently being overtaken by Katan though oh god, yeah, yeah, 910 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm gonna lose my pop culture references and 911 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm just going to be starting to talk about how 912 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: many bricks and shape you'll trade me for a piece 913 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: of awe. Honestly, I won't complain, You'll get it all right. 914 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: So I think it's really important to understand that if 915 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: you go onto the Vanguard website and have a look 916 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: at their interactive Investor chart, you can actually slide around 917 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: and have a look at the different asset classes and 918 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: how they've provided. But that graph is my favorite graph 919 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: for showing people how the GFC at the time, if 920 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: you cut back, the chart looks like the scariest drop 921 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: in the entire world. And then if you add all 922 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: the way up to twenty twenty three, it becomes this 923 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: little blip ah in the roller coaster and you go, 924 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: what's that? It's a GFC when in doubt, zoom ow 925 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: exactly fair. You are learning. And the second thing I 926 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 1: want to leave you with today is my favorite thing 927 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: to harp on about.

It's fine 931 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: if you have some extra cash pumping up your emergency 932 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 1: fund is never going to go astray. Pay your bills 933 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: on time, hopefully, stay on top of your mortgage. And 934 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: if you don't feel like you're on top of your mortgage, 935 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: please sign into the Xella Money Instagram DMS or email 936 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,919 Speaker 1: them or shoot me a message or you know, get 937 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: in contact because they can review it and make sure 938 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: that you're in the best possible position moving forward, and 939 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: make sure you're getting paid well for your job. I 940 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: know that that can be a very hard one, and 941 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: we are going to be creating, in hopefully the near future, 942 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: a lot more career episodes because I feel like I 943 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: can tell you to invest until the cows come home, 944 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: but you know what, you can't do invest if you 945 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: don't have a good income.
