Equity Mates Investing Podcast

We're on a quest to find the companies with the best moat (aka long-term sustainable competitive advantages). In this episode we unpack why moats are the most important factor when investing in individual stocks and share some of the companies that top our list. If you have a company you'd like to add to our list, hit us up on our website. We also take a look at incentives in the stock market and why investing means you have millions of people working for you. Finally, Luke Laretive joins us for another edition of Pimp my Portfolio. —------Have an investing question?Ask via our website and we'll answer it on the podcast.Join the conversation in the Facebook Discussion GroupOr get put in touch with a professional financial advisor by filling out this formWant more Equity Mates?Sign up to our email to keep up with business news Listen to our basics-of-investing podcast: Get Started Investing (Apple | Spotify)Watch Equity Mates on YouTubePick up our books: Get Started Investing and Don’t Stress, Just InvestFollow us on social media: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter & even Threads—------In the spirit of reconciliation, Equity Mates Media and the hosts of Equity Mates Investing acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.

Since May 2022 we've seen 13 rate rises in Australia. On the 6th of August we'll hear from the Reserve Bank again and markets are predicting a 14th rate rise. We take a look at what is driving inflation and ask: will a 14th rate rise change anything? We then look at the rise of pre-IPO ETFs. They're having a moment (at least on Bryce's Instagram) but when we go under the hood we quickly realise they're not all they're cracked up to be. We'll unpack why in this episode. Finally, we take a look at a worrying trend that has popped up on TikTok - applying Astrology and Numerology to investing. Naturally we had to see if it could predict the next Afterpay. Spoiler alert: it couldn't.
