They did 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: not disappoint. We've got questions about everything, some of them 60 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: I had to remove, but questions from how to actually 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: invest regularly without getting stung by additional fees, like at 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: what point does brokerage kick in to figuring out if 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: your portfolio is actually balanced? What does that even mean? 64 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: And we're tackling the age old question Glenn of when 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: do you know it's time to actually change your strategy. 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Plus we've got some spicy discussions on whether you should 67 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: invest jointly with your partner, what to look for in 68 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: a tech ETF, and of course all the buzz that 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: is currently surrounding chemist warehouse. Now, if you've ever stared 70 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: at your portfolio and have thought am I actually doing 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: this right? What to stick around? Because we're about to 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: break all of it down for you? All right, Glenn, 73 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: let's just dive straight in. Our first community member said 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Glenn Victoria. I want to invest regularly, but I'm so 75 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: worried about racking up face. What is the best way 76 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: to time my investments so that I keep costs low 77 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: without sacrificing consistency. 78 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: It's a good question, and it's a valid argument in 79 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 3: every area of our life. I have a car, A 80 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: costs to run that car, but I get the benefits 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: for having that cost in my life. It's no different 82 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: with when we invest. We may need to pay for 83 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: costs to do the transaction. We may need to pay 84 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: costs to have a professional if we're going down that road. 85 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: So we can't remove costs from our life. But I 86 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: think it's important to understand the costs and make a 87 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: judgment call. I will say, when we get started with investing, 88 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: you know you've worked with Sharess. There's plenty of investing 89 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 3: apps that are very low cost relative to the money 90 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: that you put in. There's an app Superhero. I think 91 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 3: they charge three dollars per trade for a GTS deal, 92 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: which at the end of the day, it's the cost 93 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: of doing business if you want to any invest And 94 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: we shouldn't be dictating our investing strategy by a tax 95 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: outcome by investing fees. Now there is a pendulum that 96 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: swings if they're like, oh, if you invest one hundred dollars, 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: there's fifty dollars in fees. Well, no, we're not doing that. 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: But the winning point here is you are getting started, 99 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: you are investing. And this is a crazy kind of 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: comment that flies in the face with some money community 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: members out there who produce money content. There comes a 102 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: point in your financial life where you can't expense, hack 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 3: or reduce costs in order to get to financial freedom. 104 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: But there's only so much you can do, so don't 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 3: stress too much. Any of the big type of apps 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: that you've heard of, I'm confident to say that, and 107 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: this is a broad statement and. 108 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: With a broad brush general only. 109 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: Any of the big players that you see in Facebook 110 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: groups sponsored podcasts, they're not going to be unscrupulous, and 111 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: particularly I know UVD and for me on my podcast, 112 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 3: we don't work with brands that we think aren't good 113 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: on balance for a lot. 114 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: Of people, Like, if I am working with somebody, you 115 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: can guarantee that I would use them personally, Like it 116 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean I am because there's so many different players 117 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: in the market, And like, if I'm working with a 118 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: bank but I already have my banking set up with one, 119 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to change to the other. But I 120 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have an issue doing so. And I think that's 121 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: a really important point to remember because both you and 122 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: I we were actually having this beautiful conversation before we 123 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: started recording. We're talking about brands like that we'd recently 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: said no to, and we'd never just throw brands under 125 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: the bus. I'm sorry there's no tea there, but like 126 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: just oh yeah, actually yeah, no, we're not working with 127 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: anybody now pay later as that is all right. So, like, 128 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean more aligned brands, but there are some that 129 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: both of us are like absolutely not, Like either we 130 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: don't like their management teams, or we don't like their structure, 131 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: or we don't like their PDS. So, like, there have 132 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: been multiple times that I have been like, your product is beautiful, 133 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: My community adore this product, and I would love to 134 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: support you, but your PDS says some things in there 135 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: that I'm just not comfortable with, and like, I would 136 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: never want just one person in my community to be 137 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: tripped by those So. 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: And I think it's a good point you make, Like 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: we're talking about product here and costs in the money world, 140 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: and there's a question we maybe can go to that 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: question now as I produce your. 142 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: Podcast on this You can do whatever you want, we can. 143 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: We need to talk about strategy first, and I'm a 144 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: bit basic, So I like to use analogies to that 145 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: car analogy where we buy a car and we have 146 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: to pay on road costs and fuel before we worry 147 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: about should I buy a car yes or no? Because 148 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: there's fees involved. Let's go back. Okay, you need a car. 149 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: Do you need something that's a compact suv? Lucy's in 150 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: the studio with us today, so throw Lucy in the 151 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: back of Do we need a little hatchback to zip 152 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: around town? We can't get an electric car because I've 153 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: got nowhere to charge it. Do I need a Prato 154 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: because we're doing an overland tour with the family. We 155 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: have to work out the strategy for the car first, 156 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: and that is I've nailed my strategy down to I 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: want to compact suv. I'm going to get a hybrid 158 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: one that's looking like a RAB four on balance whatever. 159 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 3: So okay, awesome, Now we know our strategy. Then we 160 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: can kind of dial in and look in that strategy. 161 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: We know a RAV four hybrid will suit our needs. Okay, 162 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 3: can't afford the high We'll still get the RAB four 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: of like a blue one. Can't find a secondhand blue one, 164 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: I'm going to settle for a white one because on balance, 165 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: that white RAB four still meets. 166 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: All of the criteria, all the needs. 167 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: So, and there are things that are nice to have, right, Yeah, 169 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I agree. And I think when we're talking about investing regularly, 170 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: because you and I both on our podcasts say you 171 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: need to be regularly and consistently investing, but also some 172 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: of us just don't have the cash to be investing 173 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: large sums of money. And at that point you might 174 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: be a little bit confused because you're like, but Victoria, 175 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: you talk about dollar cost averaging and the importance of 176 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: consistently being in the market. But then I also I 177 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: am going to tell you, if you are investing fifty 178 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: dollars a month and then you have your brokerage feet 179 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: on top of that, perhaps that's actually a bit detrimental 180 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: because yes, you're dollar cost averaging, but then it's costing 181 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: you more to get into the market. We need to go, Okay, well, 182 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: if my buddy for investing is fifty dollars a month, 183 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: perhaps I actually invest maybe every three months and make 184 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: the most of brokerage. But the important thing here is 185 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: that every single month you're still putting that money to 186 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: the side. You might not actually make that investment transaction 187 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: until you have one hundred and fifty dollars based on 188 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: the maths that you've decided. All right, I'm happy to 189 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: spend that, you know, three dollars in brokerage because it's 190 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: a larger sum of money. Therefore it's a smaller percentage 191 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 1: of the overall investment. 192 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: I like to tell people have a strategy, however small. 193 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: So you've just said to me your strategy big picture, 194 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: I want to invest for my future. I want to 195 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 3: live on less mode, I earn and invest the rest 196 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: that's your strategy. Okay, I've got fifty dollars a week 197 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: to invest as part of my strategy. Awesome. Then what 198 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: you've done, You've said, okay, fifty dollars a week investing. 199 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: If I go to a traditional broker like your com set, 200 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: your NAB trade, they may charge nineteen dollars per trade. 201 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: And I think that that's where people get a little 202 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: bit caught up in like which is the best investment platform, 203 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, there's actually one that's is your strategy. 204 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: There's actually no such thing because like someone could say 205 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: it's com sec and then the reality of that situation 206 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: is yeah for them, yeah, because they're happy to spend 207 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: nineteen dollars a trade. And that works because you didn't 208 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: realize they're investing four thousand dollars a month and that 209 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: nineteen dollars is actually such a small percentage. But they've 210 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: made a recommendation to somebody investing fifty dollars a month. 211 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Can you imagine how much your profit is going to 212 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: be eaten away if your trade is nineteen dollars but 213 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: your investment is fifty dollars every month, Like that is 214 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: detrimental to you creating wealth. 215 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, so strategy always comes first. Then we look as 216 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: part of the strategy potentially ownership structure. There's a question 217 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: there about joint accounts. 218 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: We can perving on my list. I didn't give you 219 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: a list. How do you know what's on my list? 220 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: Emma showed you and as our producer, and she's too 221 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: organized for me. 222 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: Strategy, ownership structure, product, which is the investment app or play? 223 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: What are we actually investing on? Then we can talk 224 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: about ETFs or we can talk about the actual investment, 225 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: which is actually where this leads. So I've got two questions. 226 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: And one of our community members said, Hey, guys, I'm 227 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: trying to build my portfolio, but I actually feel like 228 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: I've just plucked the percentages out of thin air. How 229 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: do I actually work out the right balance for your investments? 230 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: Because like, let's say we've picked our product and we 231 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: are on an investing platform, and now it's time to 232 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: pick our actual investments that we are putting money into. Glenn, 233 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: let's start with a round number that I feel like 234 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: a lot of our community use as an example. It 235 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to start with that because on 236 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: a lot of investing platforms you can invest with as 237 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: little as one cent. But let's say you've got a 238 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Glenn, because I feel like that's a sturdy 239 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: follow your beginning. 240 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 3: Can we do ten thousand? 241 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: We can do ten thousand? Yeah, you rich Riach, I 242 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: like it. 243 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: I was worried you're going to say, let's start with 244 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: nine and twenty dollars. 245 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: Oh no, we only work in round numbers because I 246 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: need to lull my community into thinking I'm actually good 247 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: at maths, and I can only work with round numbers 248 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: in my head. So let's do ten thousand dollars. How 249 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: do we then go? All right, well, how am I 250 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: balancing this? 251 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: Like? 252 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: Am I doing half half? Am I doing twenty five 253 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: percent of each? What's that look like? 254 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: So? I love everything that we do in the money world. 255 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 3: We do these podcast career. I love that we talk 256 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: about investing the problem that we get online and whatever 257 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: industry you're in. So we're in the money industry, if 258 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: you're in the health industry, if you're in the fitness industry, 259 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: if you're in the butcher baker, candlestick maker industry. When 260 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: stuff gets online, the top line vibe of all that 261 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 3: we do online is awesome. We want people to invest 262 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: for the future, stunning. The problem then sets in when 263 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: we get down to other levels with different content creators 264 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: is the nuance and people will get dogged on a 265 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 3: point that doesn't make sense to get chess other people 266 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: chest sponsorships one of them. So there's a school of 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: thought where we get questions like this. People come in 268 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 3: listen to She's on the Money. I listen to your 269 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: podcast sometimes, why we we ack in? 270 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Do you miss me?

Someone has just said what percentage allication do 276 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 3: I need? How do I build my portfolio? And I'm 277 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: offensive and I get canceled every other week. There's a 278 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: train of thought to say, with respect and care that 279 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 3: if you don't quite know what percentages to make up 280 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: your portfolio, how can you know how to manage a portfolio? Ongoing? Okay, 281 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 3: so there's that. 282 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: I have a whole investing masterclass room, lease do that. Yeah, 283 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: But also we need to answer the question on the 284 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: podcast because otherwise we gate keeping exactly. 285 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: So that being said, you've got some options there, we 286 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: do the portfolio in a box, your ETF. That's the 287 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 3: one stop shop. So I focus on being good at 288 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: my work. I've got my fifty dollars a week and 289 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: I'm put into that and get on with my life. 290 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: Then we go to the next step, which your lovely 291 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: question is written in. I want to build a portfolio. 292 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: I actually have learned about investing. I know that I 293 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: can buy a single ETF with Australian Shares awesome. I 294 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: know I can get an ETF with just American or 295 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: just Tech awesome. So the question is now, if you 296 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: want to go down that road and have a bit 297 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: of a DIY, sure, what percentages do we use? Aha, 298 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 3: I've got an answer. 299 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: Don't know if it's the best that your risk profile. 300 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: It is, But I'm talking more simplistically. If you look 301 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 3: into your superannuation account and have a look at index 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: balanced option with any major superfund, they will show you 303 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: what their research says is a good balancing their portfolio. Yeah, 304 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 3: there might go yet thirty five percent International, twenty five 305 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: percent Australian and a bit of property. 306 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: You could mirror that a cold restar profile. And that's 307 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: actually something that in my investing master class I teach 308 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: because it's like you have your risk profile and you 309 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: would know when you do this with clients, Glen, it 310 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: comes out with a beautiful pie chart. And I love 311 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: to talk about pie charts because like I'm a visual learner, 312 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: and we know that this amount should be shared, this 313 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: amount should be property, this amount of cash, and maybe 314 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: some like fixed interest assets, and I want that, but 315 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: I want it just for my share portfolio. And one 316 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: of the best ways to do that is to look 317 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: at superanuation breakdowns of what a low risk portfolio balance 318 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: putfall or a high growth portfolio is. And you will 319 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: find more often than not, and this is a broadbrush 320 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: statement again that if we look at a growth portfolio, 321 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: because most of my community are growth investors from our research, 322 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: you look at it and it goes all right, well, 323 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: forty five percent international assets, fifty percent Australian assets, and 324 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: then you might have five percent of like bonds or cash, 325 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: and so you go, all right, am I comfortable with that? 326 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: Does that suit me? And we're not saying that that would, 327 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: but it's a good example. All right, I'm going to 328 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: now either build that out with individual shares and I'm 329 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: going to take of my ten thousand dollars four and 330 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: a half thousand dollars of that, and I'm buying international assets. 331 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: Is that an international ETF? Is that international direct assets? 332 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, if it is ever international, you will 333 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: never own it directly. I have an international ETF to 334 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: be clear. And then you've got your fifty percent. You 335 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: could build that out with maybe like six or eight direction, 336 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: or you could pick an ETF that makes sense to you. 337 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: And I would say most people in our community, from 338 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: our research, pick two different ETFs and then they might 339 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: pick a bond. They might pick to keep a little 340 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: bit of cash. And we always say, and financial advisors 341 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: will tell you that keeping cash in your portfolio is important, 342 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: not because it's not invested and it's not working, but 343 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: like you're going to have the ability to rebalance whenever 344 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: you need to. So with your weekly or monthly contributions, 345 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: you'll be contributing fantastic, but one is going to grow 346 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: more than the other, and you might need to tip 347 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of cash here or there to keep 348 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: that balance and so that's what we mean when we 349 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: say building a portfolio, or that's what we mean when 350 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: we talk about balancing. And I just get so passionate 351 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: about that because I'm like, I can show you, like 352 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: I need to sit you down and give you examples, 353 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: because I'm going to give you this example, and it's 354 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: going to be really constructive, but at night, not fit you. 355 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: You need to go back and do the work to 356 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: get the outcome. There's actually no hey, here's actually the answer. 357 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 3: So I think you've got your investing master class. 358 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: I do. 359 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 3: I would honestly say, and this is the best thing 360 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: about investing. We can spend a whole hour talking about 361 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: one question. If you are getting started, I believe the 362 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: best and the first investment you should make is in 363 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: your own education and understanding one hundred You're investing master class. 364 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 3: It's under four hundred dollars. 365 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: That's a money win. 366 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: I would honestly say, invest in the master class, do 367 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: the time, learn, then start your investing. In fact, I 368 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: will to anyone who's on my Instagram that's going to 369 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 3: look at maybe some of these clips, I'm going to 370 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: donate three master classes. 371 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm going to do that. To you and 372 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: then you can give them back or whatever. 373 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: I want to give away some masterclass, I will pay 374 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 3: with my own money, okay, because I believe we need 375 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: to understand first before we invest. Now, on that school 376 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 3: of thought of whether we build our own portfolio, we 377 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 3: do tweaks. We need to understand and work out whether 378 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 3: we are a set and forget investor or we want 379 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: to dabble and tweak. I would say I'm more of 380 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: a set and forget investor.

We want to 426 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: control every inch of our portfolio, and then we go, oh, 427 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: maybe we want to take our hands off and we 428 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: do a bit of super stuff, or then we put 429 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: our hands back on and go, oh, maybe I really 430 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: want to go into having just ETFs. And i feel 431 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: like I've done the swings and the roundabouts of the 432 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: last years and now I'm at a point where I'm like, 433 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I've got a few assets that are 434 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: direct shares. They're fun, like you know, and I'm maybe 435 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: having a little bit of a look at things. Most 436 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: of my portfolio is too ets. Sorry now three ETFs 437 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: International Australian and I'm calling it a day because I'm 438 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: just exhausted with how much time, energy and effort goes 439 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: into managing a portfolio. Consistently and for what benefits, Like 440 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm achieving the same returns that a managed fund can. 441 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the older we get, the more 442 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: we look back and become a victim of the Dunning 443 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: Kruger effect. Look it up Google Images. It's an awesome thing. 444 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: You start out, you get really confident, you get ignorant. 445 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: Then you realize that our craf I know nothing, and 446 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: you kind of reset. I've realized in my life I'm 447 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 3: a full time content creator. That's what my focus is 448 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 3: on my podcast and my business. I'm outsourcing the investing, 449 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: but if you want to do it yourself, you can 450 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 3: copy other portfolios. You just have to be onto it. 451 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, all right, Glenn, I want to know. Now, 452 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about investing individually, but one of 453 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: the questions we got from the community was is it 454 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: a spart move to invest jointly with your partner or 455 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: should it just be in one name? 456 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 3: I want to know your thoughts first, or do you 457 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 3: want to know my first? 458 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: You can know my thoughts. Do you just want to 459 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: know my personal strategy? 460 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: Well, I guess if your personal strategy is your public thoughts. 461 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: Here are both either I mean, I'm in a situation 462 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: that is I would say privileged because if something should 463 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: happen in my relationship and we decide not to continue it, 464 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: which is not on the cards at the moment, but. 465 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 3: I think that anyone safe Steve for now. 466 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like I like Steve for now. He's in the 467 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: good books. But if we decided to part ways, we 468 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: both have the ability to continue to earn good income. 469 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: I'm not compromised because I took you time to be 470 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: a stay at home mum or like you know, made 471 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: sacrifices for his career to flourish, like he has a 472 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: solid career and so do I. So a lot of 473 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: that conversation I think needs to come into joint assets, 474 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: like you know, if you're staying at home, making a 475 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: lot of sacrifices to put someone else's career first, Like 476 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't want it to be in one name. I 477 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: have an individual share portfolio that's in my name because 478 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: I established it before I even met Steve, and while 479 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: we're in that dating and like early lifestyle, as before 480 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: we were married, I was still investing into that. We 481 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: also have an investment portfolio that we own jointly, but 482 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: we own it insider trust. And the reason we own 483 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: it insider trust is because, and I'm just being really honest, 484 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: I know that I have a lot of privilege and 485 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: I am very grateful for it. But I also need 486 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: to point out I did work really hard for this, 487 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: so I don't want to be shy that I've been successful. 488 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a thing out there, and it's called 489 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: living in reality. I think I live in it. Most days. 490 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 3: You're allowed to work hard and be successful. 491 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't not of the detriment to others. 492 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. And that's why I'm proud of what I 493 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: do every day, because my success has come from bringing 494 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: other people up. But we also own an investment property. 495 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: So inside our trust at the moment, which we established 496 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: when we decided to, you know, kind of invest a 497 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: bit more aggressively for our futures, is an investment property 498 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: and a share portfolio. And obviously every year those profits, 499 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: if there are profits, get distributed to us and you know, 500 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: we can reinvest and whatnot. And the reason for that 501 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: is literally, because of historicals, there was no point me 502 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: selling down my share portfolio to invest it into the 503 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: trust because there would have been capital gains issues tax 504 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: issues whatnot. I have stopped contributing to that portfolio unless 505 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: it's like that portfolio holds the stuff that I like 506 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: to have fun with. 507 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: That's a side quest. 508 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's side adventure. But then inside our trust, the 509 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: share portfolio that we have has a consistent the investment 510 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: that goes into it in both of our names, and 511 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: it is a joint asset and for us that works, 512 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: so I think, and you would know this already. But 513 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: the decision made there was a tax decision to hold 514 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: it inside a trust because I am a high income 515 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: earner and it's my husband position. 516 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: And I will say, family call will pierce any corporate veil. 517 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: So if there is a family court property dispute, they'll 518 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 3: open that trust right up. It's not protected. 519 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: It's not protected a way. 520 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think your comments I would agree with. 521 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 3: And when you started talking, I've got a bit nervous. 522 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: And then you said the T word trust. 523 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: You got nervous because I just own stuff in my 524 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: personal name. You're like, what is she doing? 525 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: I got a bit nervous. My personal view is I 526 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 3: don't think there's great benefit holding a joint investment account. However, 527 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: it's technically for both of you not because it's owned 528 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 3: by the trust that your beneficiaries. So if we move 529 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: that aside. If you're not a self employed person, if 530 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: you do not have a trust, and most people most 531 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 3: of the time don't need a trust. 532 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: That is a shiny, fancy thing that essentially tells you 533 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: that I own a significant amount of money and you're 534 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: self employed. I think it's important to be transparent with 535 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: you guys about that. I don't take it for granted 536 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: any day of the week. And do you know what 537 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: if it could be gone tomorrow, like I might lose 538 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: literally everything, and that is okay, but that's the risk 539 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: you take as a business owner. I don't want to 540 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: say that with the expectation that you then go, oh, 541 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: my goodness, Victoria has a trust with her husband and 542 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: that's what I should do, because that strategy might not fit, 543 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: and nine times out of ten it won't fit. 544 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: I wouldn't in my own personal life have a joint 545 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: account with a spouse or partner in terms of shares 546 00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: because the issue is there's really no flexibility, and particularly 547 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: the state planning, I'd have to fact check myself it's 548 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 3: one or the other. When you set up a joint 549 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 3: brokerage account, you need to check with the brokerage to 550 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: work out whether by default it's tenants in common or 551 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: joint tenants. So that means if you die, you need 552 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 3: to just check if there is a joint share brokerage account, 553 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 3: whether the registry say that one half goes to the 554 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: state of the deceased or one half goes to the 555 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 3: surviving person automatically, So check that. The reason also why 556 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: I don't love joint share accounts. There's a philosophical side 557 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: to this which I can get to. With the lack 558 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: of flexibility. If two people have a genuine alternate risk profile, 559 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 3: it just gets a bit more confusing. If there is 560 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: a separation and we did need to sever the assets, well, 561 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 3: one sale lands on both people's tax return. There's just 562 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: less flexibility. I went into it in great detail in 563 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 3: the investing book that I think I was talking about 564 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: last time. I think when it comes to money in 565 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 3: investing your own share accounts, it's fine if there is 566 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 3: a broader discussion in your household. I actually put in 567 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: my Facebook group a couple of weeks ago, does anyone 568 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: want to come on the podcast and debate me on 569 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: something that they disagree with me. 570 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what I could come on the podcast 571 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: and disagree with you from my version of me. 572 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's philosophical. In your household, do you share 573 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: money or have you got separate finances. I'm of the 574 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: personal view that the law says, if we're in a 575 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 3: de facto relationship over eighteen months, and whether there's one 576 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, if it's in joint names, 577 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: it's either. If it's in separate accounts, it's either. However, 578 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 3: there is a carve out my own view is, and 579 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 3: this is a tea for the debate I'll have with 580 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 3: my awesome listener. She's coming on to debate me because 581 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 3: she thinks couples should keep their money separate. 582 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: And like fully separate, never together. 583 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. I would agree on the principle, and the debate 584 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 3: will be that there's no current record of any DV 585 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: or anything like that. 586 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, no. 587 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: However, I think is best practice if the law says 588 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 3: you both own everything equal, practically, I think we need 589 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 3: to have our own emergency funds in our own names. Okay, 590 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 3: about how little escape money, and that's awesome, but I'm 591 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: talking day to day. 592 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: Yes, Steve and I have our incomes come into one 593 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: account together and we share everything. Like there's never a 594 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: conversation of his pay versus my pay, Like we're always 595 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: talking how income over time that has ebbed and flowed. 596 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: There have been periods of our you know, shared life 597 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: where we've shared and he's earnt more than me, and 598 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 1: then years where I've earned more than him, and I 599 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: can't tell you when that's happened because it comes into 600 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: the one account and then we deal with life. But 601 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: we have always had our own spending accounts, We've always 602 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: had our own savings, like to the side, so that 603 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: that is kind of like a form of protection because 604 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: we know that fifty percent of marriages ended divorce, right, 605 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: So even though it's not very sexy and not very 606 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: very valanty and we don't want it, Yeah, we don't 607 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: want to talk about it, like we actually have to 608 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: have these conversations because fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. 609 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: The other fifty percent, Glenn, end in death, which is 610 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: why we need to talk about binding financial agreements. And 611 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: then on the flip side, we need to talk about 612 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: a state planning. So if you're not talking about either 613 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: of those. You're going to at some point, irrespective of 614 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: whether your relationship is successful or it doesn't work out, 615 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: you're going to have issues if you don't have that 616 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: documentation in place. 617 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 3: I totally agree, And this is where you know nuance 618 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 3: is the first casualty of a face bok comment. 619 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: But you didn't take the whole situation into consideration, and 620 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: it would have been much bigger than the Facebook comment 621 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: would have allowed it. 622 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why I want to unpack it with 623 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 3: my listener when she debates me on it, because I think, yeah, 624 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 3: business as usual day to day, we need to make 625 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: the view. Are we married or are we de facto? 626 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 3: Are we doing life together? 627 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? 628 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 3: If the answer is yes, This why I'm getting someone 629 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 3: on to debate me. I'm sleeping just as well tonight. 630 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: If people disagree with me, awesome, I might learn something. 631 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 3: They can disagree with me and sleep just as well. Awesome. 632 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: We can all get along. I just like debating these ideas. 633 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 3: So I think the debate is if we agree that 634 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 3: we're doing this as a team together, the business as 635 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 3: usual rent, electricity bill, groceries, whatever, who cares. Let's have 636 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 3: a joint account let's have our own individual splurge little 637 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 3: fund money accounts. Awesome, but I think one hundred percent 638 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 3: we need our own emergency savings in our own account. 639 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 3: But back to the share question, and it's just a 640 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 3: little bit more nuanced and annoying to have a joint 641 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 3: brokerage account. Yeah, joint property, it's easy. There's one asset, 642 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 3: we're selling it or not, yes or no. It just 643 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 3: can be a bit more complex. So I'm not a 644 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 3: fan of joint investing accounts. The trust layer basically says 645 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 3: the trust owns the account and the income can be 646 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 3: distributed each year to wherever it needs the land. That's 647 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 3: all good, But I think we're on the same page there. 648 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: I agree, and I think it's one of those things. 649 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: When I was a financial advisor, it was definitely a 650 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: school of not owning joint assets and setting up maybe 651 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: two share portfolios, even though we had a little bit 652 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: more brokerage. It would mean that there was structure. If 653 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: someone wantly, we didn't actually have to sell our sets. 654 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: You kind of just went your own way. And I'm 655 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: very much a risk averse person as much as I'm 656 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: like I would say, a very high risk investor. I'm 657 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: very risk averse because I just don't want there to 658 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: be negative impact on people, and like you see it 659 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: in lots of situations where they're like we had to 660 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: sell the house because the other person couldn't afford to 661 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: buy out, and so therefore we both lost. Like I 662 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: just want there to be amicability where possible. 663 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 3: And that's the thing, like if you hear all this 664 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: stuff and you have separate finances and live together and 665 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 3: I pay for rent. 666 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: Because there's actually no one size fits all, do it. Yeah, 667 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about Glenn. 668 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it. And this is just 669 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,959 Speaker 3: my view, and it's worth what everyone. 670 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,959 Speaker 1: Paid for it, yeah, which is millions trillions even. All right, Glenn, 671 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: let's go to a really quick break because this has 672 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: been good, but I really want to pivot into talking 673 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: about Chemist Warehouse and what's going on there, so guys 674 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. All right, Glenn, we are back, and 675 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: I feel like we've been having a very good conversation 676 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: about investing and philosophy and sharing money and sharing assets, 677 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: and it's been I think a lot of fun. We 678 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: haven't answered that many questions, so you're going to have 679 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: to come back again. I'm sorry, but we did have 680 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: a community member ask us about Chemist Warehouse, especially with 681 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: all of the hype that has been surrounding that business 682 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: at the moment. Obviously, we can't say whether someone should 683 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: invest in it or not, but I want to know 684 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: from your perspective, Glenn, what makes a company like this 685 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: interesting from an investment opportunity perspective. 686 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, so most people would own Chemist Warehouse now because 687 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 3: Sigma Healthcare basically hate them, et them, which was interesting 688 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 3: because Chemists Warehouse was the bigger. 689 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: Company tried to eat them. 690 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, but Sigma they do a lot of over the 691 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 3: counter medications, medical supplies. They own like Amcow, Guardian Pharmacy, 692 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 3: Distant Drugs. 693 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: They are a relatively big dog, but you don't know 694 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 1: who they are because they are not called Amcow. 695 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 3: That's right. So basically Chemists ware House, and I think 696 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: it's just important before we talk about the investing opportunity 697 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 3: is just to step back. You know, they were valued 698 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 3: at about ten billion Australian before the. 699 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: Merger, just a few dollars where. 700 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 3: Sigma was worth about a one hundred million, so ten times. 701 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 3: It's an interesting world. In the pharmacy world. We know 702 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 3: that Woolworths can't open a pharmacy. Coles can't open a 703 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 3: pharmacy within the stores, which I think is good. But 704 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 3: Chemists ware House, like, you go in there, you can 705 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 3: buy literally everything but fresh produce. It's like full on, 706 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 3: like the Priceline and all that. 707 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: So do you have the little fridges for your probiotics 708 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: so that they're getting close? 709 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm not really saying much here other than 710 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 3: Chemists Warehouse, it's a retail store. They do chemistry things. 711 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: Like they do chemistry things. 712 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 3: But the investing thing, I think what we need to 713 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 3: look at, and I don't play in the weeds of 714 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 3: individual stocks. I would say, if you do the investing 715 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 3: master class, you will talk conceptually about individual stocks. You'll 716 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 3: learn potentially how to value individual stocks. There are a 717 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 3: lot of free websites that will give a rating to 718 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 3: individual companies, whether they think they're overvalued and they're rationale, 719 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 3: whether they're worth a buy or not. But I will say, 720 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 3: and this is just what I do. I don't have 721 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 3: more than ten percent of my equity portfolio in individual 722 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: stocks because I want to buy the market. I don't 723 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 3: want to try and pick winners. But if you are 724 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 3: interested in the story, you look into it, you might 725 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 3: shop there, and just because you shop there, it doesn't 726 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: mean it's a good investment. I mean there's a bank 727 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 3: that I bank with where it's actually a dog of 728 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 3: a bank compared to the one down the road. As 729 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 3: an investment, so I buy shares in the one down 730 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 3: the road and I bank with the other one. So 731 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 3: we have to disconnect that. But if you're like, I 732 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 3: love this story, I want to buy into Sigma. The 733 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 3: chemist thing, it's a very interesting sector when you look 734 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 3: at it, and if you've met any small businesses. Most 735 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 3: pharmacies are small business owners and licensees and whatnot. It's 736 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 3: an interesting industry and they are a genuine disruptor. Like 737 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 3: medication that I takes like half price from chemists ware house. 738 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: It's actually a really solid business. 739 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they've just taken the view we'll obviously get 740 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 3: scale by buying the medications, probably not making much on them, 741 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 3: but will sell the other vitamins, makeup deodorants. Yeah, I 742 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 3: get my goat soap there, all that stuff. So the 743 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 3: investment question is you'll find so much information online. It's 744 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 3: a list company. 745 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: Do them research, yeah, because it's also probably in the ETFs. 746 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: You're already purchasing. 747 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 3: Right and it's in your super already, you will have exposure. 748 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because a lot of you are 749 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: already going to own Sigma, and you might not have 750 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: paid any attention to Sigma until now, and you're hearing 751 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: a name like chemists Warehouse and you're going, hold on, 752 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: what does that mean? That's a really cool acquisition. And 753 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: the whole purpose of the chemist Warehouse like framework working 754 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: is because it's low cost, high volume. Why everybody I 755 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: know goes down to chemist Warehouse because their medications are 756 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: genuinely cheaper, So you've got people hook line and sinker. 757 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: I'm always buying additional things at chemist Warehouse because I'm 758 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: roaming around the shop. I'm looking around, going what's going 759 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: on while I'm waiting for my buzzer for my antidepressants. 760 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 3: You know, it is like I do feel it for 761 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 3: the other self employed small business owners with their community pharmacy. 762 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 3: That might be another franchise where they literally can't do 763 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 3: the medication for that cheap. 764 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: And I get that, but I also think that we're 765 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: talking from an investment perspective, and you know, Chemist Warehouse 766 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 1: does franchise out so there are a lot of small 767 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: business owners who own Chemist Warehouse locations, which is very cool. 768 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: And Chemist Warehouse shareholders now own about eighty five percent 769 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: of the new company, which means that they are majority owners, 770 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: which is kind of attractive, and there's an expectation in 771 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: the market that it's going to then attract and this 772 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: is why it's being talked about a lot attractive, very 773 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: strong investor interest, because people are like, this was a 774 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: privately listed company that we all thought was successful beforehand. 775 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: Now it's got in public because it is very dominant 776 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: in it the pharmaceuticals. 777 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 3: Every day, a ten billion doll a whale it's private 778 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 3: gets listed. 779 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Like if you've gotten to being that 780 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: size and you have made the conscious decision to list, 781 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: that decision would have been made because there is significant upside. 782 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: They can clearly afford to scale, They can clearly afford 783 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: to even go down to the bank. Because even companies 784 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: like Chemist Warehouse might go down to the bank and 785 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: get a loan to grow their business. They have the 786 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: backing to be able to do that. But when you 787 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: list as a company, it puts significant responsibility back onto 788 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 1: you as the organization. Do you have a proper board 789 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: which you didn't have an obligation to have before, have 790 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: proper governance, and actually report to shareholders. So there must 791 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: need to be some very significant upside for what was 792 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: privately owned company to list. Yeah, and I think that's 793 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: so excited. 794 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 3: It's a good liquidity event for the private owners. 795 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: Anyway, they might have said, I just want some cash 796 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: out and the only way I'm getting up. 797 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 3: Exactly a Melbourne story to start with. 798 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe. So all right, let's move off chemist 799 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: warehouse because I know I'm running out of time with you. 800 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: But we also promised that we would talk about tech ETFs, 801 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: and we had a community member ask about investing in 802 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: a tech ETF, but they weren't sure where to start 803 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: because there are so many options out there, Glenn, what 804 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: should we be looking for if we are looking for 805 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: a tech ETF specifically, there are so many options out there. 806 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm going shopping. I've made my decision, I have my product, 807 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: I know what platform I'm investing on, but I looked 808 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: up on I don't know cheress. I typed in tech ETF. 809 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: Heaps of options came up. How am I picking? 810 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 3: I don't even know if I know the answer that. 811 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 3: For me, it goes back to why do you want 812 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 3: a tech etf to start with? Because sometimes it sounds shiny. Yeah, 813 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 3: we asked these questions. I personally don't own a tech etf. 814 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 3: Peel Back, the Young had a little bit the S 815 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 3: and P five hundred. There's a huge tech waiting. You 816 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 3: look at Nvideo, Microsoft, Apple, All these companies have such 817 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 3: big waiting. 818 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about in a video on the podcast 819 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: the other day. I think you don't realize how significant 820 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: it is because they hold such dominance. 821 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 3: All these big tech companies your Google's, Tesla's, Borderline Tech. 822 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 3: I've got enough exposure to them. 823 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: We've got tech at home. 824 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, like I know, I can't go to bed without tech. 825 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 3: My mum was saying that today she bought an earth 826 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 3: sheet where they plug into the wall, it connects to 827 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 3: the earth of the PowerPoint and you lay under it. 828 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: So anyway, Mum's gone to Lulu tech everywhere. 829 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 3: Am I right? 830 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: I'm going to be like, excuse me, but what are 831 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: you talking about? 832 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 3: Earth sheet? 833 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: But sounds like you got scammed from a tisktok video. 834 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. So if you do want tech exposure, the good 835 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 3: thing is most of them will be an index, a 836 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 3: lot of them will be a Nasdaq index. A lot 837 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 3: of them will be listed in the US, because most 838 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 3: of the big tech plays are in the US. And 839 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 3: if we tie back to the question on fees, you 840 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 3: could take the view that, Okay, there's three tech ETFs 841 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 3: and I don't even know because I don't look at 842 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 3: this stuff enough. I'll make examples up. There's one from 843 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 3: black Rock, there might be one from Beata Shares. That 844 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 3: might be one from global X, there might be one 845 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 3: from State Street. They all have the same tracking on 846 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 3: the index. You might just go, I want tech exposure. 847 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 3: I can see the index. I'm just going to go 848 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 3: the cheapest. But having said that, the cheapest might be 849 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 3: only a whisker away from the next one up. So again, 850 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. Make sure if you want 851 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 3: some exposure, maybe you see it as a satellite in 852 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,919 Speaker 3: your portfolio. So you might say, Okay, I do want 853 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 3: some extra tech exposure, but I'm not going to put 854 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 3: more than ten percent of my portfolio into that because 855 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 3: you will have overlap. You look at anyone who invested 856 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 3: in the spaceship app. They got a real lesson about 857 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 3: diversification and what a single sector tech investment will do 858 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 3: when the going isn't good. 859 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and tech right now is doing really well, Like 860 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: we're seeing returns of twenty even thirty percent in tech ETF. 861 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: So I feel like that is potentially what is driving 862 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,919 Speaker 1: the interest and the need for a tech ETF because 863 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: you go, the returns are incredible, but that is fleeting. 864 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: Like I always say on the pod, when in doubt, 865 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: zoom out, and when you're not sure about something like, 866 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: let's look at the bigger picture, what's their long term strategy? Like, 867 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 1: what is your strategy purchasing this ETF You're going to 868 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: be holding it for a long period of time or 869 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: are you going to just like make hey, well the 870 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: sun shining, which I wouldn't recommend, but I would be 871 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: stepping back and picking the research house or the share 872 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: trading platform first. So you mentioned before like Beta shares 873 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: or Vanguard. I'd work out which one of those businesses 874 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: aligns to your values. You might go really love a Vanguard. Fantastic, Glenn, 875 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you. Yeah, you like the color 876 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 1: red cool, Well, let's actually hone it down and then 877 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: just look at their offerings as opposed to every single 878 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: offering on the market, or you might be purchasing a 879 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,359 Speaker 1: tech ETF because obviously purchasing direct shares of an international 880 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: asset is not actually the best idea. Like most people 881 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: aren't going to go by direct shares in Apple because 882 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: there's currency issues, there's a lot of things going on. 883 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: You might want to pick an ETF, but you might 884 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: be looking for a specific waiting so that you can 885 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: say or you can own Apple. I would be looking 886 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: at it that way. There's no best ETF. But I 887 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 1: could sit down and write a whole blog post or 888 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: to a whole podcast on it, Glenn of like, what 889 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: were the best performing tech ETFs in twenty twenty four. 890 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: But past performance is not a reliable predictor of future performance, 891 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: and therefore it would just be a conversation to have 892 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: to see what happened historically. 893 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's interesting. Nevertheless, I mean, if 894 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,439 Speaker 3: someone is on the train or going for a walk, 895 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 3: just pull up Google Now and search Intel share price, 896 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: and just in the top Google chart, click maximum and 897 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 3: so you'll see in the early two thousands, Intel did 898 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 3: a lot as and videos kind of currently doing and 899 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 3: then you'll see it kind of come off. So yeah, 900 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 3: I don't have huge overexposure to the tech ETFs. 901 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: I feel like this has been fun chat. One last 902 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,959 Speaker 1: question though, I want to know, Glenn, what is one 903 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: investing myth that is currently driving you mad? 904 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 3: Oh. 905 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I am a tragic 906 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: on TikTok. Like most of my screen time is spent 907 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: on TikTok. And I'll say that, but like, I'm not 908 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: proud of it. I'm just sharing. And the amount of 909 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: investing content I see that, I'm like that is terrible 910 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: with advice and I have to scroll on because I'm 911 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: not going to get in DM comment arguments. But what's 912 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: been annoying Glennie James Race. 913 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 3: Gosh, I'll just give caution to any type of things 914 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 3: that you know people are like sell the farm, go 915 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 3: all in on crypto or bitcoin or get rich asap 916 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 3: type stuff. Yeah, I think that's probably what annoys me. 917 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 3: If something worked for one person, it doesn't mean it's 918 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 3: going to work again, and we can all fall into 919 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 3: this trap. I picked a winner here doesn't mean I 920 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 3: can do it again. And if someone's on TikTok going, 921 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 3: you need to put all your money to bitcoin if 922 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,439 Speaker 3: you want to build your financial future. Absolutely not, Nah, 923 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 3: maybe have a small allocation here. 924 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: We're not saying it's terrible, but there seems to acentration. 925 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 3: Less is more. You don't have to over engineer you're 926 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 3: investing portfolio. You'll make more money from your job and 927 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 3: your career than you're investing account at the moment, So 928 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 3: focus on what makes more money in your life and 929 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 3: you'll be all GTG. 930 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,800 Speaker 1: I like that.

We're not doing 947 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 3: a podcast. I think that's the difference. 948 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's much better.
