This week we had our Dividend Quiz Winner on the show to discuss portfolio management..

We started the show with Phil introducing himself and gave a brief background of his investment background

We followed this with some quickfire questions to help us get to know our guest a little better. There was one really tricky question in there and EDGI would not give Phil a free pass.

On the news of the week, EMF shared his thoughts on one of the Irish banks placing caps on savings and ponders what's to come down the road. will this be the catalyst for more people to get involved in investing?
