Inspired by her, 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: I got a group of my friends together and have 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: done the same thing. It's a monthly investing club called 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: ASX in the city that mixes market chat and girls dinner. 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: Each month, we contribute to a shared account, research companies 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: and invest together.

And sorry, growing up with a mum 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 2: who's like just to have my own little investing club, Like, 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: be for real, what an icon she was. 43 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 3: I didn't actually realize it at the time, but she'd, 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: you know, say that she has her ones called women 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 3: in Black. Yeah, although they've definitely been in the red, 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: but I can'd say I have women in Black coming over, 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: and I just grew up with that but not really 48 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: understanding what it meant or you know, thinking that i'd 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: have my own and down the track. So it was 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 3: quite inspiring. And so they've been going. Women in Black 51 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: have been going for twenty six years stop. So she 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 3: founded out with twenty other women in nineteen ninety nine. 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: Twenty other women. Yeah, what an icon. She's the original, 54 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: she's on the money. 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: She actually trained mind. 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I did that, so un lucky 57 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: for your mom because I know I own that. But 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: I'll share it with her happily, Like I'll let her 59 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: have a turn and I won't come for her if 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: she uses my terminology because she's honestly the original icon. 61 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 2: Can we talk more about that though? Can we go 62 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: back before we jump into your investing journey. Can you 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: tell me a bit more about what your money story 64 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: looked like before you started investing, and what was your 65 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 2: attitude towards investing or was it just like, well, clearly 66 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: we do it. Mom has these meetings and that's a 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: thing like what did that look like growing up? 68 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: Going back even further, I think Women in Black started 69 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: and Mums started that with her friends because they were 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: all on the land. So as you said, I grew 71 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: up on a farm, whilst they all live on farms. 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: They're from very different backgrounds, so teachers, physios, even a 73 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: firefighter in there. 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, because we can do everything to get a bit of. 75 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: Pocket money and separate income from the land and to 76 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: just learn about investing. That was their main name. They 77 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: started this, and the social aspect was huge. So they've 78 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: supported each other through motherhood, droughts, floods, fires, mouse, plagues 79 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: like that's just been a bonus of it all. But 80 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: they they've just learnt so much along the way and 81 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: have done so well out of it, And so that 82 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: sort of was a bit of an idea in my head, 83 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: but I didn't understand it all until a lot later 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: in life. 85 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: And was that because you kind of joined in on 86 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: your mom's sessions or was that like self motivated? Like 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: how did you go from you know, kind of being 88 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: a passive bystander to this where you were like, I 89 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: don't really understand what was going on, but my mum 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: was clearly into it, to being an active investor yourself. 91 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: So I was living overseas, came back and did a 92 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: master's in sustinibility, and whilst I didn't think this was 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: the route I would take, I fell into investor relations. 94 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: It just fell in. 95 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: It's like PR for small cap mining stocks, but in 96 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: future facing medals, so lithium and cropper and there was 97 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: a biotech in there. Yeah, but that's I guess piqued 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: my interest in investing and the whole sort of financial sphere. 99 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: And then that got me thinking, I wonder if I 100 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 3: could start something similar to my mum's group. 101 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very cool. Can you tell me a bit 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: more about how you trip and fall into investor relations 103 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 2: or was it because you were like marketing and PR 104 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: focused and then that was kind of like a marketing 105 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: and PR role. I'm just trying to work out how 106 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: you end up there. Because that's quite a specific niche. 107 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: It was actually down the sustainability group. It was a 108 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: friend of a friend who has their own investor relations company, 109 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 3: and she wanted to push your head in this sort 110 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: of green transition, and I was fortunate enough to be 111 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: able to just spin sort of sustainability into stocks and 112 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: how they can be progressive. They can be green despite 113 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: being mining stocks and sort of dirty originally. But yeah, 114 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 3: that's how I got into it. 115 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: So tell me about the segue from working in investor relations. 116 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: I feel like you would have learned a lot there, 117 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: obviously about what you were talking about, but also about 118 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: starting your own investing journey. How does that progress into Hey, 119 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: I now have a group called ASX in the city. 120 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: I don't know when the actual capitalist actually happened. I 121 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: think maybe it was listening to mom, Maybe it was 122 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 3: having I did have a small portfolio myself. It was 123 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: just there was one moment and I sent out a 124 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: message to a couple of WhatsApp groups, and I think 125 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: what separated the week from the chat, so to speak, 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: was the fact that whilst it is fun and we 127 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: are there to learn, we started out with a grand 128 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: buy in and then it's fifty dollars per month, and 129 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: that's also mimicked off women in black. You know, we 130 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: have an agenda, we have a partnership, we have you know, 131 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: we take minutes. We have to do a tax return 132 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: every year, and it was not easy. 133 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: Let me do no, I'm like going, hold on, hold on, 134 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: this has gone beyond like chucking fifty bucks into the kitty. 135 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: And even I was about to be like what happens 136 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: like if you know, it all goes south. But this 137 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: this is a legitimate organization. She's organized investing, not crime. 138 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: I like it, but tell me how does it go 139 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: from going? I'd love some friends to invest with too. 140 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: How about we set up a full ABN and take 141 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: minutes and do a tax return. That's crazy. I love it. 142 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's full mimicking women in black. Like you know, 143 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: I'm just so grateful that I did have my mum 144 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: and that she's so interested and keen to share all 145 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: that information. And never did she think that, you know, 146 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: she'd be sharing advice and writing her story to meet 147 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: and speak to you about this. It was all a 148 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: big working process, like for us to even open a 149 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: bank account, the concept everything was not it wasn't that easy, 150 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: but it's definitely worth it. Like it's you know, short 151 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: term pain for long term gain for. 152 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: Sure, one hundred percent. And so what's the long term 153 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: plan for this? Because I feel like a lot of 154 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: people might start like a little investing club to get 155 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: some education, but this goes beyond just education, Like you're 156 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: all bought in. What's the plan with the fund? 157 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: We've never actually sat down and thought, okay, where are 158 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: we headed? But we Our strategy is long term investments 159 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: and basically just to learn, you know, where it's social 160 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: as well. We're all spread out over the world now, 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: like although we started in Sydney, people have moved to London, 162 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: in Melbourne and Amsterdam and it's so you know, it's 163 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: a good way to catch up but also learn, and 164 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: our knowledge, you know, since starting in May twenty twenty three, 165 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 3: has just grown exponentially. You know, there's times where we 166 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: were saying EFTs. 167 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: And whatever semantics. I'm genuinely envious, Like I'm like, wait, sorry, 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: Like maybe I'll pitch this to my friends, maybe I'll 169 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: make new friends so that my friends don't think I'm 170 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: weird about this. But I just think that that is 171 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: so so cool. What do you hold? Like if we 172 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: break down what's in the fund? You said, it's based 173 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: on great How are we making decisions about what to 174 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: buy or what to invest in? 175 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: Good questions? So we have ten stocks and a very 176 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: broad arrange of them. We're actually quite retail heavy, possibly 177 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 3: for some reason we starting out. So we have a 178 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 3: spreadsheet and you update the spreadsheet with any socks that 179 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: you want to put forward in a meeting, and then 180 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: we reassess in the meeting. You know, WhatsApp Where are 181 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 3: we at at the moment? Do we want to sell anything, 182 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 3: do we want to reinvest in one that we've currently got, 183 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: do we want to invest in a new stock? And 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: so yeah, it's quite a broad portfolio, ranging from West Farmers. 185 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 3: We've got Catapult, which specializes in formance analytics athletes, which 186 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: has done quite well recently. We've got Sonic Healthcare, Willworth, 187 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: Pilgrim Minerals, Vanex Sustainable ETF, VAS, Vanguard one ash IVF, 188 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: which we thought might be a goodbye when. 189 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: That was all that it was about to say, did 190 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: you buy that recently when the media popped off? 191 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: We did. And that's what's so good is like we learn, 192 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: you know, we've now all got an ear to the 193 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: ground on what's happening where you know, our long term 194 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: strategy was eighty percent core stocks or just long term investments, 195 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: and then twenty percent play money. So how can we 196 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 3: learn with our stocks and with what's going on in 197 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: macro events and macro news. 198 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: That is actually so exciting. So I understand that you've 199 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: replicated like your mum's structure, right, But why would we 200 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: do a group investment as opposed to taking all this 201 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: knowledge and then making decisions about our own portfolio, Because, 202 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: like you said before, and I'm just like trying to 203 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: put the dots together. I suppose you said you had 204 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: your own investing portfolio before this, and then you started this, 205 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: and you're investing fifty dollars a month, which is really exciting. 206 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: Initial buy in of one thousand dollars each amazing. But 207 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: I would assume that if you guys are aggressive investors, 208 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: maybe this is the fun part and you all have 209 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: your own bigger portfolios. Is that an assumption that it 210 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: is on track? 211 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: Possibly some might be bigger than others. I realized I 212 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: have not given my own portfolio and much love at 213 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: all recently, Like there's something sitting in there that definitely 214 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: needs to go. And this is recurrent. We all came 215 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 3: from different learning platforms, and we're all from different backgrounds 216 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 3: and jobs, and our partners are in different roles and 217 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: different companies, so we're very broad. I think the reason 218 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: why it works is because we've got the same curiosity. 219 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 3: We're all at the same mind frame that we're not 220 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: a one hundred percent sure what we're doing, but if 221 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 3: we do it as a group, if we do it 222 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: as a pack, we kind of have that pack mentality. 223 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: We have that that's so fun, and if it's not 224 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: going well, you can all like HiPE each other up 225 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: and be like, that's the market, don't worry about it. Like, oh, 226 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: I'm so envious. I think that this is so fun. 227 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: Can I go back? Because you did mention you had 228 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: your own investing portfolio? When did you start that? Why 229 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: did you start investing solo? 230 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: I think it was again my mom, like she helped 231 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: me put my first Can. 232 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: I get your mum on the podcast? I want to 233 00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 2: meet it. 234 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, she should probably be hit, but again she it 235 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: was pulling over this like biodegradable gauze that you put 236 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: on burns and wounds. And that's gone terribly recently. And 237 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: I invested and then by the time I've walked from 238 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: the office to the kitchen, it had gone up fifty 239 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 3: dollars you kind of or whatever it was, I don't 240 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 3: know what it was. Yeah, and then you kind of 241 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 3: get that little high and yeah, I guess it was 242 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: from then onwards. Yeah, then you see it growing or 243 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: you can have conversations with other people about it, like 244 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: that's a big thing as well is a lot of 245 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: our partners worked in finance or working different industries and 246 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 3: there's sometimes some blocks or some scary, scary moments and 247 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: technical terms. But we're all able to have a seat 248 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: at the table now, whereas I don't think we may 249 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: have without the confidence of learning over the past few years. 250 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned my own investing platform has taken 251 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: a bit of a back seat. What does that look like? 252 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: Are you talking you've got five hundred dollars invested? Like 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: what amount invested do you have personally? 254 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: Well, I actually was quite I've got fifteen K, but 255 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: that's only recently with my husband and I have started 256 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: doing dolo cost averaging for a stock. 257 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 2: I can't what stock. You can't say a stock this 258 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: is cheese on the money. I get to know what 259 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: stock why, well, okay, it's a charterholl really well okay, 260 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: but don't judge. 261 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: Me chatter or retail read that. I didn't even know 262 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: what dolo cost averaging was, but then he explained it, 263 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: And I'm actually going on maternity leave next year. So 264 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: it's just sort of future proofing and giving us an 265 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: opportunity to maybe store some cash and get some cash 266 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: back when necessary. 267 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: So when it comes to dolo cost averaging, you mentioned 268 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 2: a real estate fund, which is a relatively high yield fund. 269 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: Is the purpose of investing in that to kind of 270 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: carry you through maternity leave? Or like, how does that 271 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: fit together? Or are you just very aware that taking 272 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: time out of your job obviously has a big financial impact, 273 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: Like I just want to know the drivers. 274 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: Probably the latter it does, you know, I will have 275 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: a big financial drop. This is putting aside rather than investing. Say, 276 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 3: I don't know, we haven't actually discussed how much we're 277 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: doing this forward everywhere put a grand on, but you know, 278 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: rather than investing ten k at one time, it's just 279 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: safeguarding and making sure that we get a good investment 280 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: and then if we do need to sell that ten 281 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: k or whatever it is, hopefully make some money on 282 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: it next year if we do need to pull that 283 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: so saving and growing. 284 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to throw to a really quick break. 285 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: And on the flip side, I have so many more 286 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: nitty gritty questions about your investment journey, So guys, don't 287 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: go anywhere, all right, investing direst We are back, and 288 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: I'm genuinely so excited to jump back into this if 289 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: we go back to like your group portfolio, which I 290 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: just think is the most fun ever. The idea that 291 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: you're all just collaborating and making big group decisions about 292 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: like what ETF for, Like what direct share that you purchase. 293 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: What would you say is the share or the that 294 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: you've seen the best returns on? 295 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: Vas So the Vanguard we've definitely seen the best returns on. 296 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: I always find it so funny because I saw that 297 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: coming a mile off. When you told me what was 298 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: in your portfolio and that you'd started in twenty twenty three, 299 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, it's. 300 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: Going to be a bass so boring. No, no, no, 301 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: but like this is do you know what? 302 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: This validates me so much. I have this whole Finance 303 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: podcast where I say tried and true and steady is 304 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: the best, Like, you're not trying to outperform the market, 305 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: We're just trying to do the average Women are better 306 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 2: investors than men, like let's just be conservative, and so 307 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: many people are like, you need to take risks to 308 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: get ahead, and then I am so gratified when people 309 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: come on and they're like, yeah, so the best performing 310 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: thing is actually one of the most boring, and I'm like, 311 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: WHOA didn't see that coming? Those crazy It took us a. 312 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: While to get into ETFs because we didn't actually want 313 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: it to be too boring. 314 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: But at the same time, like West Farmers, we need 315 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: some good, solid returns. 316 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: Solid returns. So this year we've made eight percent and 317 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 3: that mimics the two hundred, but we've learned way more 318 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: than if we just put it all on the A 319 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: Sex two hundred. So yeah, there's pros and cons and 320 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 3: we've definitely like West Farmers. You know, we were calling 321 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 3: out cash Cow. There's even little stories around that, like 322 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: one of the girls didn't really understand what the cash 323 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: cow was, but she just said NU every time West's 324 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: was brought up. 325 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: Oh my god, because She probably thought that the word 326 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: cow was related to the farmer part. 327 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: Probably there are so many. Even when we first had 328 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: our we like we always talk about our Christmas party 329 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: just classic, like you know, kind of like your friends 330 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: giving lunch, like just girls. And we had our first 331 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: Christmas party. It was hosted at one of the girls 332 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 3: house and she got ASEX balloons and we put it 333 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 3: all up on social media and people thought we made 334 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: a company and listed it on the Exchange. 335 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: I don't mind that they thought you did that. I 336 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: love that. Yeah, I would have seen it. And just 337 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: being jealous, what do you mean an ASX party? Are 338 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: you saying that? Like maybe, like I've already turned thirty, 339 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: so this is quite disappointing. I might have to wait 340 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: till like my fortieth, but it could be ASX themed. 341 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 2: Great idea, and you come as your favorite company, yep, 342 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 2: you come as your favorite. 343 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: Stocky heap of et. 344 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 2: I'm coming as West Farmers cash cow move. This is amazing. 345 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: I've seen similar things happening. I own West Farmers and 346 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: like it's gone really well. And I'm not saying this 347 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: to be like, oh, it's a great investment, because like 348 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: past performance, it's not a reliable indicator of future performance 349 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 2: and all of that other stuff. But like, it's been 350 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: so interesting watching it, especially over like the COVID period 351 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: and coming out of it, and what drives those returns? 352 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: And like because West Farmers and you guys are probably 353 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: as interested in this as I am, But what drives 354 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: those returns? Because West Farmers doesn't it's not just like 355 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: one company. It owns multiple companies that's the parent company 356 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: of like Target and Kmart and office Works and Bunnings, 357 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: and like, getting to look at all of those companies 358 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: and their returns and how they then filter up to 359 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 2: West Farmers and how they organize their company is just 360 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: so interesting, and you go, what makes sense so interesting? 361 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: That's what we also are best at is investing in 362 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: stuff that we know, Like we also hold Woolies, which 363 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 3: you know, West Farmers is kind of premium in terms 364 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 3: of it's got Kmart, Woolies has Big W. You know, 365 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: we've had conversations about that, like who the hell goes 366 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 3: to Big W these days? Like it's just such a 367 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: subper camar and so all our relative perspectives and views 368 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: come into it, and I think that also informs. 369 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: Our strategy and how and lived experience is important. I 370 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: want to pick back up on a comment you made before, 371 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: you said, we really retail heavy, and sometimes when you 372 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: are retail heavy, you've kind of like not diversified enough 373 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: and spread it out. But I feel like if you've 374 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: got a Woolies, well West Farmers no longer has that 375 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: association with Coles, so you don't actually have a supermarket 376 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: in that mix, So like that's not a bad mix 377 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 2: to have. And then I feel like even under West Farmers, 378 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: that's an umbrella company of very different companies. Like you 379 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: look at kmart for example, and I go, wow, that's 380 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: a very high volume, great profit company, but they make 381 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: very low margins. So if you read there your report, 382 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: like they are not making much on each of the 383 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: products that they're selling, but their entire model is based 384 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 2: off volume selling. And so you go great, no worries. 385 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: But then you flip over and it's different again for 386 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: Bunnings because Bunnings they don't make their own product in 387 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: comparison to km UP, which own the Ancho brand. And 388 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: then you go, okay, well Bunnings they are on sellers. 389 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: They're like a third party, so it's like a different 390 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: model again, and I don't know. I get so nitty 391 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: gritty about like their annual reports and what that looks 392 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: like and what the best selling brands in Bunnings look like, 393 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: and you know what's driving that. And it's just so perfect, 394 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: Like it's like gossip, but in shares so true. 395 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: There's so many different aspects to it. You never not 396 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: learn something, you know, and that's what every every time 397 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 3: we come away from meeting it. You're kind of buoyed 398 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: by great charts, interesting conversation, relevant conversation, and good food. 399 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: Whoever hosts normally provide something really delicious. 400 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: Puts on a good spread. How good? Tell me? Do 401 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: you have any in the regrets? 402 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: Yes, you know, there's pros and cons to it. Because 403 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: of regrets, we've definitely learned from them. We have got 404 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: caught up in hyps and trends that they've been learning 405 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: and so, as one of the girls said, even the 406 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: mistakes have been good. But we did invest in I 407 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 3: don't know how do you say this, but Satyr or Satire, 408 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: the online luxury fashion retailers. So they went through a 409 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: pretty hefty, like nearly five million dollar loss, they said 410 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: tariff changes, and the CEO was a bit unusual and 411 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: it was all over podcasts, but we definitely it was 412 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: just recorded our problem child, and it would just be 413 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: in the news and it would just sort of peek control. 414 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, that was that was a good learning anyway. 415 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: And that's why we diversified and not all of your 416 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: money was in there. So it can be the problem 417 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: child because it doesn't mean that the whole portfolio is 418 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 2: not performing. It just means we need to watch the 419 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 2: problem child exactly, and then you. 420 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: Know it's not. 421 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: At one point we thought, you know, Pilgrim minerals, our 422 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 3: lithum was the problem, but you know that's come back obviously, 423 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 3: you know resources, so it it's dependent on that. But 424 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: it's just no matter what if it's bad, it'll still 425 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: have a good result in terms of you know what 426 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 3: else we can get out of it. 427 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: When it comes to sitting down and having these big conversations, 428 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: you've obviously taken a lot of time and energy and 429 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: effort to set this up properly. Have you got a 430 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 2: structured strategy or is this like a let's go and 431 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: start investing in things that we believe in and like 432 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 2: do research in or are you sitting down going great 433 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: the base strategy of this mentality is a core and 434 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 2: satellite approach or is it a look, we're looking for 435 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: high growth or we're looking for high yield. What are 436 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: we talking about there, because when it comes to I 437 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: guess dividends, are we trying to prioritize dividends or are 438 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: prioritizing growth or like what does that look like? 439 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 3: So it's definitely core and stratellite mentality and the fact 440 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: that we are all of the same sort of nature 441 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: and you know mentality again it is beneficial. Here is 442 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: so we we've never sat down and said, oh, we're 443 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 3: going to get to you know, two hundred K and 444 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: then sell out and break up or you know, there's 445 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 3: never been a sort of long term strategy or plan. 446 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 3: Our goal is to just keep investing, not having it 447 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 3: in the bank. So if we you know, where I 448 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: think we've got twenty six K worth of stocks at 449 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: the moment, where have shares at the moment and then 450 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: four k in the bank, and so we call it, 451 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: we say it's time to go shopping and we either 452 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: decide to you know, reinvest it in current stocks or 453 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: go or put that towards a new stock. So in 454 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 3: terms of all our dividends, we agree that they would 455 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: be comeing as income, so they go back into our 456 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: cash account, all seventy seven dollars if some of those. 457 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: Different sorry from little things, big things grow. Your mum 458 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: started in nineteen ninety nine and she's probably killing it now. 459 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: Oh yes, you've only got only quote twenty six thousand dollars, 460 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: but sorry, overtime, that's going to become a lot. 461 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: One hundred per and that's cool. 462 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: And I want to know what the strategy is for 463 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 2: that too, because I'm like, okay, so we then just 464 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: leaving that investment there and splitting the dividends at some 465 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: point to supplement your incomes or are we selling down? 466 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: But if we sell down would have capital gains tax 467 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 2: And obviously there's some conversation about whether it's owned by 468 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: the company. You've set up there for thirty percent tax rate, 469 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 2: but then do you have to then pay tax on 470 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: it as an individual if you take it out? Like 471 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: what's that look like? There's so many questions. 472 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 3: I have so many questions I think we'd follow. We 473 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 3: yet to properly formally discuss. 474 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: This, but no, we're not selling out yet, we're too new. 475 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: Well yeah, but if we were mimicking women in black. 476 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 3: My mum's one. It would be they get to two 477 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: hundred k and they have a sell off and they 478 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 3: all get a few k. 479 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, they never let their. 480 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: Hopefullio go below one hundred k for whatever reason. Probably 481 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: should have asked that, but it's just yeah, and in 482 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: terms of then the tax associated around that. Gosh, I'm 483 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: lucky enough to have ways smarter girls. 484 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: In a group that understand yeah, ten out of ten. 485 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: So tell me what does it look like if your 486 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: group has said, all right, it's time to go shopping. 487 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: I'm imagining that you do these ASX in the city meetings, 488 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: like on a rotating basis at different people's houses. Are 489 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: we standing in front of our TV and doing a 490 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: big PowerPoint presentation on what stock you think should be added? 491 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: Because if not, we need to start doing that, like 492 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: pitch me a stop. 493 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: So we do have a spreadsheet that is updated prior 494 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 3: to the meeting, so if you have something that you 495 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: want to put forward, put it in. But we made 496 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 3: a rule that we weren't going to all come at 497 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 3: at every meeting with a new stop because that just 498 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 3: gets people get messy. People don't They're not as passionate 499 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 3: about it. They'll just chuck in whatever they just heard. 500 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: But if we actually think about something, so we'll go 501 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 3: through the spreadsheet see if there are any new additions 502 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: all additions. One of the girls mentioned Rebel Right at 503 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: the start, and everyone was making coffees at home and 504 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 3: it was you know, the economic COSI lead issues and 505 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 3: it would have been amazing. So we're always revisiting Rebel. 506 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: I'm actually very disappointed. I didn't invest in Rebel. For 507 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: the longest time, I was like, no, like coffee, it's 508 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: not my jam. I really want to go out. And 509 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: now I'm in a committed relationship with my coffee machine, 510 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: and I'm like, Brevel, you and I besties, and all 511 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: they do is get better stop it. 512 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: So you did invest? 513 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: No, I didn't. I invested in the bloody machine, not 514 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 2: in the stock. And then once I had the machine, 515 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 2: I was like, well, this is good. I see why 516 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 2: everybody's crazy about it. This share is going to pop off. 517 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: For the longest time, and I've been watching it, probably 518 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: since it's on my watch list. So when I log 519 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: into my platform, I've got like the shares that I own, 520 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 2: and I too have a core satellite approach, and then 521 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: I have my watch list of stuff that I'm like, no, 522 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: it's probably overvalued, but I want to keep an eye 523 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: on it because if it drops, I'll probably put some 524 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: money into it for my satellite. But Revel's been doing 525 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: too well, so I can't justify investing in it because 526 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: I'm like, I look at your your reports and I 527 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: look at everything and like you're doing well, So like, yes, 528 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 2: I want to be on that train, but I'm not 529 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: getting any value if I purchased your share right now 530 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: because you're popular, so I would argue that you're slightly overvalued, 531 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: or as a savvy investor, I'm not going to put 532 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: my money in there until I see a market dip. 533 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: But I don't want them to experience a market dip 534 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 2: because I'm like, but you're a good company, so maybe 535 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 2: I'll just never own Brevel. 536 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 3: We're really exact same mentality. It's actually a bit of 537 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 3: a sour spot. Even one of our guests speakers recommended 538 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 3: it again recently, and we just all cringe a bit 539 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 3: because it would have done well. 540 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: But you've got West Farmer's Salts. 541 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: Fine, but exactly that whole you know, what we're investing, 542 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 3: what you know, like we all obviously have a love 543 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 3: gold jewelry, you know, getting engaged that sort of thing, 544 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: and should really invest in that. 545 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 2: But oh, that would just gold is going up at 546 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: the moment as well. I'm watching that being like, my goodness, 547 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: where's the deal? Yeah, where's the top? And I obviously 548 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: it's a much more conservative assets probably not going to 549 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: come into the mix of what you guys are talking about, 550 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: but it's just so interesting watching these things going. Oh 551 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 2: like this makes sense though, because if we look at 552 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: it from a zoomed out perspective, when share markets are uncertain, 553 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: which I would say they are very uncertain of the moment, 554 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean they're performing not well. That just means 555 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 2: there's not a lot of clarity around what's going on. 556 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: And I mean Trump is probably a really big driver 557 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: of this. But when there is uncertainty in the market, 558 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: people return to things like gold and buying silver. Even 559 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 2: silver's going through the roof and I'm like, I didn't 560 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: think that was making a comeback, But Okay, someone's buying. 561 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: Someone's buying. It's not me, but someone's buying it, and 562 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 2: I am watching, So tell me from a personal perspective, 563 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: what would you say is your personal long term goal 564 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: with investing, because you've touched on obviously having this fun 565 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 2: share group, and from the way that your mum runs hers, 566 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 2: you kind of end up at a cap and then 567 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 2: you sell down. Everyone gets a bit of pocket money 568 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: can do whatever they want with it. You're more on 569 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: an education journey with that. You then have started dollar 570 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: cost averaging into the market with your husband, But I 571 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: feel like your priority was like, are we just making 572 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: sure that we can get through the next year because 573 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to take maternity leave at some point, Like 574 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: what's the long term goal with investing for you? 575 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 3: Question? 576 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: Just to make as much as like bi con same, 577 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: I want to be rich. 578 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 3: I've never actually never sat down and thought I want 579 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 3: to get X amount I want to get to hear 580 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 3: of just kind of falling into wherever I've ended up. 581 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: But it's hard because my husband and I have our 582 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: own portfolios, but really everything else, like our bank account, 583 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 3: everything's joined. So really we probably need to sit down 584 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: and think about, Okay, you know, how can we join 585 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 3: these two or what are you going to invest in? 586 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 3: What am I going to invest in? How are we 587 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 3: going to make the most of these things? But I 588 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: think investing in stuff that I am passionate about, learning 589 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: about that along the way, going back through my portfolio 590 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 3: and just getting rid of anything that I'm not that 591 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 3: passionate about or it's dragging me down. But yeah, just 592 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: being smart about that sort of stuff. But I probably 593 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 3: do need to take a more targeted view on where 594 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: I'm at it. 595 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: No, that's okay. We don't always have to know. I 596 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 2: think just being on the journey is like the start, right, Like, 597 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: once you're on the journey, it's so much easier to 598 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: work out where you're going and what you're doing, and 599 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: nothing is scary anymore. You just need a strategy. And 600 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: sometimes we just put strategy off because we're like, oh, 601 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: that can come later. Like I'm just having fun right now. 602 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: That's fine, as long as we're in the market. We're 603 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: in the market. My love, you have worked so hard 604 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: and this is just all so exciting. I feel like 605 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: you're building up your investment portfolio. You've got your investment portfolio, 606 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: You've got a really great career. But how are you 607 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 2: protecting it? Do you have personal insurances set up? If so? How? 608 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 3: If not? Why? Good question? So personal insurances? I had 609 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 3: no idea about until one of the girls actually had 610 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 3: a presentation at work and shared that with us. We 611 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 3: all sat around her computer and rewatched the replay. But 612 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 3: basically it was just around ensuring I think the biggest 613 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: thing at our age just not about life insurance. It's 614 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: about income insurance and you can if you have a partner, 615 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 3: can they support you know, if you have a mortgage 616 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: or your if you have a kid. All this is 617 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 3: actually becoming more and more apparent as we get older 618 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 3: and life gets more complex. So on that note, I 619 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: think working out with your super what it covers and 620 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,479 Speaker 3: what it doesn't or is there a double up? Are 621 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: you paying privately and then are you paying for your super? 622 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 3: So I have had everything turned off in super, so 623 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 3: no cover for any of those. 624 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, giving me anxiety. Why'd you do that? 625 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: Well? I just thought, you know, I don't need that 626 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: right now, and that to be honest, I think I 627 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 3: made that about a year or more, possibly two years ago, 628 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: that decision. Haven't checked in on it since. So it's 629 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 3: actually this is a good reminder and to everyone else 630 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 3: out there to check in on what you you know, 631 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: where you are at life, and what you in life 632 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 3: and what you do need to cover for so since 633 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: becoming pregnant like that, it just depends on what and 634 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: getting mortgage like income protection seriously important, so we'll go 635 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: in and tick that off. Another thing I also learned 636 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 3: was that super can you can pay through your super, 637 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 3: but you can also pay privately, but you can get 638 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: your super to pay the private But I think and 639 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 3: trauma like trauma is just growing in terms of as 640 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 3: we get like burnout. 641 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy to. 642 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: Hate stress, former climate, all that sort of stuff. 643 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm obviously wildly passionate about it. And for people who 644 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: have been following She's on the Money and listening to it, 645 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: they know how crazy I am about it. But you're 646 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: so right. But then I also get so stressed when 647 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: young people like you go, I don't need it right 648 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: now in this season of my life. But then life happens, 649 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: and then like you might be playing netball and you 650 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: get a knee injury or like all these like things 651 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: that are not that quote deep happen. Then you go 652 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: to do your assessment to finally get personal insurances and 653 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: they're like, okay, we'll do this, but we're not covering 654 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: you for ABCD because you have pre existing conditions, but 655 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: you just canceled the cover that had no pre existing 656 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: conditions like exempt, Like oh my god, like if we'd 657 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: kept that would be in such a better position. But 658 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: you don't know what you don't know right, like, go, well, 659 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: why am I paying for something that I don't think 660 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: I need? And that sounds like a money to get 661 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: rid of it. Great, I'll have more super in my 662 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: account like everybody's winning. But it's just not the case. 663 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: So I know you're going to look into it. I'm 664 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: going to hook you up with my mate Peel from 665 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: Skywealth so that you can talk about it properly and 666 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: get the right insurances. But like, my god, it gives 667 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: me so much anxiety when people are like, I'm having 668 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: a baby and I have no insurance. I'm like, so, 669 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 2: I guess. 670 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 3: So for eleven girls with varying degrees of complex life situations, 671 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 3: what would you recommend. 672 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: For eleven girls? I would recommend going and actually talking 673 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: to a financial advisor about this. And it's not as 674 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: expensive as you think it's going to be. Because when 675 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: I retired as a financial advisor, that sounds so bouchie, right. 676 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: When I retired as a financial advisor, I divided off 677 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: all of my clients to different businesses, right, and I 678 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: had a really varying client base. I had like some 679 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: ultra high net wealth people where I managed absolutely everything 680 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: for them. I had some mom and dad investors who 681 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 2: we did their investments, we did their super we did 682 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: their insurances. But then I had a number of people 683 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: in your age group where you're like, I'm going to 684 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: run my own investments. I'm all good there, but like, 685 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: can you just set up my insurances? And feel from Skywell, 686 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm just like pumping him up all 687 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 2: the time, but like he's genuinely a good egg. He 688 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: just does insurances. So because you guys are so good 689 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 2: at investments and stuff, I wouldn't go see a financial 690 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: advisor who's holistic because they're going to charge you through 691 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: the nose. They're going to charge you like five or 692 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: six thousand dollars, whereas Phil's fees are like five hundred 693 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: dollars and under to just set it all up for 694 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 2: you because he only does insurances. Like, if you want 695 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: to talk to him about investment, he'd be like, also, 696 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 2: do you do an investment advisor? I am a niche. 697 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 2: I do this every single day. He has like a 698 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: team of fifty. Literally, I feel like it's like when 699 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: you look at I don't know when I'm like just 700 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: talking about my mate Field, people like, oh, so we 701 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: did the work independently. I'm like, oh no, he's actually 702 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: got a really big business and the entire purposes insurances. 703 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: I would actually recommend them to all go and get 704 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: individually assessed and all individually talk to Phil, you know what, 705 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: I'll chat to Feel and be like, can we do 706 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 2: a little delio. I've got eleven for you, Like, so 707 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: let me see what I can do in the background. 708 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 2: But I would one thousand percent see. 709 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 3: Feel that is so good. Save Victoria at the door, 710 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 3: But that would be amazing because yeah, I just think 711 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 3: where even if you think that you we. 712 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: Could run a little webinar for the eleven of you. 713 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be fun? Oh it will be fun for me, 714 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 2: Maybe not for everybody else, but maybe we do a webinar. 715 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 3: It's also funny like when you when you have a 716 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 3: good contact and they can be of so much benefit 717 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 3: to other people, Like even just our accountant love him 718 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 3: so much and he helped so much help you know 719 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 3: text reported in it. 720 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: But I love it. It's so much I wanted just. 721 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 3: To share it and share the love that that would 722 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 3: be amazing. 723 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 2: All right, let me let me work that out in 724 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: the background. Tell me, what do you think your best 725 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: investing habit is. 726 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 3: I think best investing habits would be that we care, 727 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 3: so we stay curious. We don't pretend like we know 728 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 3: it all. That's one thing that you know, us girls 729 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 3: all agree on. We're also not afraid to delegate research, 730 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 3: so you know, if we don't know something, then can 731 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 3: someone look into it? And then we have a vote. 732 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 3: So out of our eleven people, if six or more 733 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 3: of us are accepting of the proposed stock, when we 734 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: reach your majority resolution, then nuts. Then we all vote 735 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 3: on that, which is yeah, we're all I guess of 736 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 3: the same mind. I think, and this might be sexist, 737 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 3: but I think we really listen to each other. So 738 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 3: as women, you know, past mistakes to the macro news. 739 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 3: But in the same vein, we might not back ourselves 740 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: as much as possibly our male counterparts, which is where 741 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 3: the group comes in. So you know, there's, as I 742 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 3: said before, lack that pack mentality. We feel confident in 743 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 3: doing it and we use our instincts, so we understand Livisa. 744 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 3: We might not understand data centers, but that doesn't mean 745 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 3: don't invest in data centers. It means can a couple 746 00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 3: of girls go away and do it a bit of 747 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 3: re search on it. Who's feeling most passionate about it? 748 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 3: Is this something that we actually want to get into, Great, 749 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 3: put it in the chat and let's pick a time 750 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 3: that we want to know, buy it, and then we've 751 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 3: got a treasurer and then she will execute that stock 752 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 3: either at target price or stop. 753 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: Of course you've got a treasurer. You've got a treasurer. 754 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 2: You're making majority resolutions like you guys. I'm pretty sure 755 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: this is about to become its own country with a parliament, 756 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 2: and I'm really excited about it. Can I please join? 757 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm happy to buy in. I just want to be 758 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: involved because that sounds really fun. What do you mean 759 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 2: a WhatsApp group where you're delegating research into different shares? 760 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 2: Girlfriends say less, I'll do it for free, Like, oh, 761 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: you're living my dream. 762 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 3: It covers a lot of things that WhatsApp group, Like 763 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 3: this morning it was talking about second wedding dresses for someone. 764 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 2: So it's very sorry. That is right up my Alley 765 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 2: like sorry, friends who marry the ax and wedding dress 766 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 2: content my people. You said before that you think maybe 767 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 2: you guys aren't as good at backing yours, and I 768 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: totally relate to that. Do you think that would be 769 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 2: your worst investing habit? 770 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, because we either jump on a trend, 771 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 3: so that's not really backing yourself either. You're just sort 772 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 3: of going with the flow and our hesitation, you know, 773 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 3: like revel or we always bring this sort of stuff 774 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 3: up when we're cautious we might you know, have I mean, 775 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 3: Pill turned out to be okay, but we brought up 776 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 3: Pill with three meetings in a row, and we just thought, 777 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 3: are we going to sell this? Are we going to like? 778 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 3: What are we doing here? Why are we watching and waiting? 779 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 3: But then that is also a tactic in itself, so 780 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 3: it's hard. But having the support of each other really 781 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 3: and we're all in the same same sort of mindset 782 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 3: which is super helpful as well. And at the same time, 783 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 3: if someone's really passionate about something, you know, we let 784 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 3: them fly like we're they're to you know, go with 785 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 3: them if they're if they're really can but we'll also 786 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: listen if people aren't. If they're ethical issues or personal 787 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 3: reasons or an emotional sort of hesitation about something, then 788 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 3: we listen to that as well. 789 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 2: So there's so much that goes into investing that we 790 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 2: don't like talk about on a daily basis. But in 791 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 2: a group scenario, you really have to be considerate of 792 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 2: because this group could fall apart in two seconds if 793 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 2: you guys aren't taking into consideration ethical and moral decisions 794 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 2: and even just emotional ones or being like, oh no, 795 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: that company for X reason gives me their ick, Like 796 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 2: you have to respect that in a group situation. I'm 797 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: really excited for this country that you're building and this 798 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 2: just like parliament that you've started to implement, just the 799 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 2: fact that you even have a voting system. You're like, oh, yeah, 800 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 2: men have more confidence. Sorry, not in comparison to this group. 801 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: They don't. If men's or this group of women coming, 802 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 2: they're running like they're hiding, and I'm obsessed with that energy. 803 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 3: It's interesting you say that because a lot of men 804 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 3: are or they're interested in this, and they might say 805 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: that they've got a similar thing going, but they've got 806 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 3: a chat or they haven't got any skin in the 807 00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 3: game together, like there's no. 808 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 2: No, they just took shop. I've seen men's group chats 809 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 2: I have, like my husband thankfully isn't part of these. 810 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 2: I get sent screenshots. Yeah, just bought this. They don't 811 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 2: even know what they're talking about. Ninety percent of the 812 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: time the saw a TikTok and then went off that 813 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: it actually kills me. But at the same time, I'm like, 814 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 2: we'll be fine. Women will be fine. We will absolutely 815 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: be fine, and we just need to back ourselves more. 816 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: And this is a very good lesson in that money diarist, 817 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,959 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed. This is so cool, like your mum's Women 818 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 2: in Black to ASX in the City, I am obsessed. 819 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 2: I just love this energy and I hope if there 820 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 2: are more people doing this in my community. Can you 821 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 2: please DM me and let me in on all of 822 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: your like little secrets and clubs and let us know 823 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: what's going on, because like, this is the coolest thing 824 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 2: in the entire world. 825 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 3: Also us too, like we'd love to collaborate with any 826 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 3: other investment groups out there or and also for assistance 827 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 3: like my mum and her group fortunately did to us. 828 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 2: I love that. So what would your final advice be 829 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 2: to anyone who's maybe listened to this and been like, 830 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 2: I want to invest club, Like, what would you say? 831 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 2: Focus on first, focus. 832 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 3: On getting it all set up. It's hard, it's not 833 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 3: pleasant at the start.
