Equity Mates Investing Podcast

Since May 2022 we've seen 13 rate rises in Australia. On the 6th of August we'll hear from the Reserve Bank again and markets are predicting a 14th rate rise. We take a look at what is driving inflation and ask: will a 14th rate rise change anything? We then look at the rise of pre-IPO ETFs. They're having a moment (at least on Bryce's Instagram) but when we go under the hood we quickly realise they're not all they're cracked up to be. We'll unpack why in this episode. Finally, we take a look at a worrying trend that has popped up on TikTok - applying Astrology and Numerology to investing. Naturally we had to see if it could predict the next Afterpay. Spoiler alert: it couldn't.
