Many Happy Returns - In the Toilet: Macroeconomic indicators
play

03/23/22 • 47 min

Which macroeconomic indicators should we look at to understand where markets are heading?

How important are labour market indicators such as nonfarm payrolls, initial jobless claims and the unemployment rate? And what impact do housing and credit market indicators - such as the senior loan officers survey - have on markets?

How do these different data points influence federal reserve policy and the wider economy?

In this week's Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: Does global equity always rise in the long term? And if so, why?

Many Happy Returns - Satellite Navigation: Portfolio part 2
play

03/02/22 • 47 min

Should you add satellite investments to your core investment portfolio?

To prevent meddling with the core investment portfolio, many investors set aside a small amount of money to invest in risky satellite investments.

Ramin talks us through some of the assets he has on his 'Market Crash Shopping List' and when he might consider adding them to his portfolio.

We look at actively managed investment trusts, leveraged funds, Chinese stocks, high-yield credit, REITs, cryptocurrency and more.

In today's Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: What does it mean to say cryptocurrency is "unregulated"?

Many Happy Returns - Core Strength: Portfolio part 1
play

02/23/22 • 43 min

A popular approach to investing is to construct a core portfolio of long-term investments. But what investments should go into this core?

We consider the case for stocks, bonds, cash and gold, and how they complement each other.

We also discuss what to look for in an index fund, when to rebalance and what risks are involved in long-term investing.

In the Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: Who actually decides what companies are included in the S&P 500 index?

Many Happy Returns - Russian for the Exits

Russian for the Exits

Many Happy Returns

play

03/09/22 • 45 min

How will sanctions on Russia affect markets?

Western governments have imposed unprecedented economic sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Central bank reserves have been frozen. Banks have been cut out of the SWIFT payment network. And Russian stocks have been shorn from equity indices.

We look at what impact these moves will have on markets and how investors might respond. Is inflation going to keep rising? Might there be hidden systemic risks lurking? And might markets fall further?

In the Dumb Question of the Week, we ask why central banks target an inflation rate of 2%?

Many Happy Returns - Meme Reversion

Meme Reversion

Many Happy Returns

play

03/30/22 • 39 min

Meme stocks are on the rise again, with GameStop and AMC leading the charge again over the past week.

We look back at the crazy month of January 2021 to understand what caused meme stocks to gain over 2,000%, before falling back just as sharply. How did the short squeeze on hedge funds work? What effect did Wall Street Bets and social media have? And what does the future hold for these stocks?

In the Dumb Question of the Week, we ask what it means to say something is "priced in" to markets.

How much money do you need to invest to live the life you want? How much can you safely withdraw from a portfolio each year? And how do you ensure you don't run out of money in retirement?

Many Happy Returns - It's not ESG being green

It's not ESG being green

Many Happy Returns

play

02/16/22 • 35 min

Can ESG funds save the planet while delivering strong investment returns?

ESG funds claim to be able to keep the environment - and your conscience - clean. And all while delivering better returns than the broad market.

We dig into how ESG indexes are constructed, what returns we can expect, and whether the environmental claims actually stack up. We also consider alternative investments which might be better placed to achieve the same goals.

In the Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: Why would anyone buy bonds with a negative yield? Aren't you guaranteed to lose money?

Many Happy Returns - Time vs Money: How the Clock Transforms Your Investments
play

10/16/24 • 40 min

Investing, at its core, is about postponing consumption in the belief that time is your friend. Yet time has powerful effects on all aspects of markets, magnifying returns, blunting volatility, and warping the very value of money itself.

And in today’s Dumb Question of the Week: Why can’t we time the market?
