Ive been sharing this as mandatory listening with the junior team.
I’d really like to hear what you think is fundamental, of an ongoing basis, in terms of webinar resources eg Global X ETFS, who have been on the show, and others.
General financial education and knowledge building, thank you.
I got an email promotional material from betashares the other day that looked like the new products its promoting are a bond ladder. Very interesting for income investors, I signed up to keep me informed when they come on the market
The goal is money. More money than if you sat and did nothing.
Really informative ep for beginners.
As a beginner I am keen to look at etfs. Only thing I don't understand is how they have asx codes. Is there a difference between buying them as an asx share say through comsec and or the etf directly. For example advantage of VAS through comsec or through the vanguard portal.
If I go through comsec I obviously pay their fee to. But am I getting the same product? Or like the property in this pod am I getting on listed (more susceptible to market sentiment) vs the more steady eft directly. (Correct me if misunderstanding here)
If there is a difference is there any where I can buy the direct version other than starting an account with each eft. For example I want to diversify between VAS, FHEG as these are products from different companies.
GO 100% growth and just dont sell, investing and following the plan, then its just discipline – HOLD !😂
What interest me here is how you should deal with opportunity costs per se.
Is YMAX a better ETF for those seeking franked income from top ASX stocks than VAS?
Betashares AAA – Annualized return after adjusting for inflation 10yr = negative -0.26% and that's assuming you believe the governments CPI readings are accurate.. just don't anybody who had to pay rent, food, or energy over the last few years. Hard to take you guys seriously when you talking about having a liability as an income source.
Can your podcast actually show us what the stocks are your talking about I'm rewinding trying understand the tag of the stocks. Its very frustrating…
Need to put time stamps on these videos. Far too long for very little content.
