Episode notes
US vs. Australian Stock Market Performance
- The US stock market performed significantly better than the Australian market in 2024, with a 25% return including dividends.
- This disparity is partly attributed to Australia's lack of AI companies and the Australian dollar's decline against the US dollar.
Australian Housing Market Trends
- Perth's housing market defied expectations with a 20.3% year-over-year increase, while Melbourne experienced a decline for the second consecutive year.
- This unusual trend is attributed to Perth's affordability attracting buyers despite rising interest rates and cost of living.
Bitcoin's Continued Surge
- Bitcoin experienced another strong year, surpassing $100,000 per coin after increasing 119% in 2024.
- This surge is partly attributed to the introduction of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ETFs, which attracted significant investment.
