You never stop learning - in life or in investing! So we're introducing a new segment to the podcast. It's called 'Mentored' where we each choose two industry-leading mentors. Because we like to keep things competitive, we'll paper trade each other, and track our investments while we learn during the year. What are the rules? In this game, any listed investment is fair game, we're just here to uncover new strategies and insights.So today, Alec and Bryce choose their mentors - Henry Jennings and Andrew Page. Bryce wants to seek feedback on his current investment approach and plans to explore new methods for uncovering opportunities in small to mid-cap stocks. Meanwhile, Alec is focussed on filtering through companies, identifying crucial factors in company analysis, and mastering the art of valuation and timing.In Uncovered: we also discuss the hot topic of concussions and head injuries in the NRL and AFL, as a class action of over 60 former AFL players seeks compensation and a Senate inquiry investigates head trauma in contact sports. The AFL has even committed $25 million to study the long-term effects of such injuries on players. We'll be looking at the Australian company HitIQ, which is tackling this pressing issue head-on.

We're joined by returning guest - Coolabah Capital portfolio manager - Chris Joye. According to recent analysis by the Australian Bureau of Statistics - at a cash rate of 3.6% - 15% of all Australian borrowers are at risk of default. So, with the RBA continuing to raise interest rates, there are concerns that the country's housing market could face a significant upset in the near future. Chris warns that when one in four Aussie home loans in 2023 switch from their 2% fixed rates to 6% variable rates, it could be the "mother of all shocks" for household balance sheets.But it's not just the housing market that Chris is worried about. He also believes that equities have been a bit of a Ponzi scheme for a long time, and that the world is not growing, but contracting. He warns that there's going to be no freaking growth for the next few years, and this could spell disaster for everything...So, a lot to think about in our conversation with Chris today!
