Informative and Entertaining

I have listened to a lot of ‘get started in investing’ podcasts…A LOT! This is by far, the most informative and entertaining investing basics series I have listened to. I know that they are advertising commsec as a brokerage platform, but they have done an excellent job of summarising the basics, interviewing everyday investors and including expert advice from professionals in the industry. I see myself coming back to this podcast for a listen when I need a reality check or just some reassurance.

Great podcast

Newbie to investing and this helped me get a much better understanding of how I should approach and think about long term investing. Hope there are more episodes coming 🤞

Super easy to understand

Really enjoying this so far. I have been wanting to invest but haven’t known where to start - am 3 eps in and learning so much already.
