Our episode today is inspired by James from the UK. He wrote and asked: Why you wouldn’t just invest in an S&P 500 index fund? So today we go over 2 reasons why you would and 1 reason why you wouldn’t... First of all: just what *is* automated investing? Basically, it means you set up a rule with your broker that tells it to invest a consistent amount of money at regular intervals. Generally, it involves investing in a well diversified index fund - could be an S&P 500 index fund or ASX 200 - but ideally a global fund like a Vanguard VDHG or Betashares DHHF. (We've got heaps of resources on our website!) Want to get in touch and suggest and episode like James did?

This Bitesize comes from one of our most downloaded episodes ever! Picture this: the stock market takes a nosedive, but then, out of nowhere, it springs back up. That's what we call a 'Dead Cat Bounce' - a temporary recovery from a prolonged decline or bear market. But don't be fooled, it's usually followed by the continuation of the downtrend, making it a perfect trap for unsuspecting investors. This is a little segment from an episode the guys recorded almost 18 months ago! Listen to the full episode here:Website | Apple | Spotify Want more Equity Mates?
