    The Investability Podcast season 3, episode 1: A mad month

    It's investor meets trader once again as John and Michael return for season 3 of the Investability Podcast.

    In the month they've been away markets have continued their not-so-merry dance with inflation, leaving investors in the lurch trying to work out which is the lesser of two evils: an aggressive Fed fighting inflation, or the recession its actions might exacerbate. Will central banks be forced to change course? Or is there more interest rate pain to come for investor?

    In this episode;

    - Is the market bottom in or is this a bear market rally?
    - Why growth is getting harder to find.
    - Is it better to be an optimist or a pessimist?
    - The danger of holding retail shares for the long term.
    - Why business model sustainability matters to investors.
    - Is it too late to buy into oil and gas?

Straightforward but endearing

I was a little late to the party with this podcast but caught up pretty fast !
Great camaraderie between Phil and John .

The first few I was a little distracted as I kept thinking Phil was Alistair Campbell as his voice is almost identical ! I’ve got over it now and look forward to every week - on that note where was Fridays (3/12) episode !

I love that they are both being informative but without trying to sell you something - a rarity of today

Keep on doing what you’re doing - it’s fabulous !

Not the same without Phil

Michael Taylor is a lightweight. Just seems to throw in some trading jargon every so often to give the impression he knows what he is talking about. Offers no insight into any of the businesses covered. A shame really as John and Phil were really good together

So glad these guys are back

High quality analysis delivered in straightforward manner.

Update since Phil left- still an interesting listen as he brings a traders perspective. But not as good as without Phil
