The Curve The Reason the World’s Most Legendary Investor Is Not Investing Right Now.
Warren Buffett (aka the GOAT of investing) is sitting on a jaw-dropping $382 billion in cash. Yep, the man who literally buys companies is taking a breather, and Vic breaks down what that means for the rest of us (hint: things might be a tad overpriced). We also chat about bitcoin’s big dip (Soph’s thrilled), why AMD’s results weren’t enough to keep investors happy, and how gold’s having its main-character moment again. Plus, we celebrate the UK finally adding financial literacy to the school curriculum (goodbye, recorder lessons), unpack the mass Kiwi move to Australia, and somehow veer into royal neighbours, countryside dreams, and near-misses with Lorde.
WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits:
Bear Market – When stocks fall and vibes are low.
Bull Market – When prices rise and everyone’s buzzing.
Valuation – What a company thinks it’s worth.
Cash Pile – A giant stack of money waiting for action.
Berkshire Hathaway – Warren Buffett’s money empire.
Revenue Growth – When sales go up. Yay, more money!
Correction – A market “oops” before it (hopefully) recovers.
Defensive Stocks – Boring-but-reliable companies.
Safe Haven – Where nervous investors hide their cash (hi, gold).
Bitcoin – The drama queen of digital money.
Crypto – Internet money. Risky but exciting.
IPO – A company’s stock market debut.
