These healthcare stocks are uninvestable, why we avoid small cap indexes & the business of professional sport

Last week on the podcast, Bryce mentioned that "investing in a small cap index is not the way to go if you want small cap exposure". We got a few questions on why that was the case, so in this episode we unpack the problems of small cap indexes as why we will never invest in them.

We also cover the news of the day, including:

• Like so many Australians, REA Group is moving to London
• The numbers behind their UK takeover target Rightmove
• The escalating dispute between health insurers and private hospitals
• Why some parts of the healthcare industry are becoming "uninvestable"
• The NFL's decision to allow private equity investment
• Why Mark Cuban sold a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks
