Our $10,000 investment challenge for 2025: Owen v Drew v You
The $10,000 portfolio challenge on The Australian Investors Podcast for 2025 is HERE! It's Team Owen Rask versus Team Drew Meredith versus you, The Rask Community.
On January 1st, 2025 we'll begin tracking the three hypothetical portfolios selected by our teams. Then we'll provide weekly commentary and updates on the portfolios every Saturday morning (at 7am MEL/SYD time) as part of our '2 Sense ' instalments on The Australian Investors Podcast. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, YouTube or Spotify.
WARNING: Remember, nothing in these portfolios should be considered as investment advice. We are NOT investing in these portfolios in real life, and the portfolios we build at Rask Invest (or Drew, via Wattle Partners) have nothing to do with these three portfolios. Please do not believe these portfolios are our actual portfolios, or represent the portfolios we professionally manage for our clients. Investing is risky and can result in permanent capital loss.
