140. The best performing ETFs of 2024 - and why we would never buy them
You may have heard us, a news outlet, or an investment ad say something to the effect of:“Past performance isn’t an indicator of future returns.”Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this statement is simply some cover-all, get-out-of-gaol-free disclaimer. In truth, it’s a crucial concept that can seriously impact your investing strategy. And it plays a major role in why Tash and Ana from the Get Rich Slow Club don’t chase high-performing ETFs.We know this might sound like a counterintuitive concept – which is why we’ve devoted an entire episode to exploring it. Tune in, extract some ideas, then make your own decision about how YOU would (or wouldn’t) like to invest!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

139. SHORTS: How do shares make money?
Advocates frame them as a sensible way to build your wealth (provided you understand the risks involved). Critics simplify them as a speculative venture akin to gambling. But while they have both fans and detractors, most people agree: shares are intended to make money.So… how does that work, exactly? When investors own high-performing shares, do they earn money via passive income? Or are they simply aiming to sell them for a higher price than they paid? OR does it depend on the shares – and if so, how do you know which is which?Cast your worries aside, dear listener, for all these questions and more shall be answered soon!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

137. SHORTS: What is a broker, and how do brokerage fees work?

136. Should I sell my shares with everything that's going on in the US right now?
It’s an inescapable truth that the Australian shares market can sway under the influence of the US. Beyond the close ties between both nations, there’s also the fact that America maintains the largest economy in the world. It’s understandable, then, that Aussie investors may have panicked at the news lately. With a fluctuating tech sector, a rapid shift in policies, and the looming threat of tariffs, many have asked:“Should I just sell my shares now?”Tash and Ana aren’t your personal financial advisers, and can’t tell you what you should do with your shares. Even so, they’ve dived into the data, economics, and historical trends on this subject – and they’ve a lot to share.

133. SHORTS: What is an index fund?
Investing legend Warren Buffett isn’t shy in his praise for index funds. For decades now, Buffett has insisted that most investors are best served by buying a low-cost index fund over shares. At the Get Rich Slow Club, we’re bullish on index funds as well – which is why we discuss them so often.But if you’re new to investing, you might not be entirely sure what an index fund actually is. Like “synergy” or “gang gang”, you could use it in a sentence, but might struggle to provide a textbook definition. Worry not, though, for by this episode’s end, you’ll feel qualified to hold your own in any index fund conversation!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
