    Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. In this Economic Debrief 2026, Andrew and Mitch cut through the noise to deliver a frank, no-fluff breakdown of the big picture trends shaping the global and Australian economy right now.

Andrew and Mitch explore why the Aussie stock market has had a pedestrian run, where the real opportunities lie in the US across tech, semiconductors, data centres, and utilities, and why geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are keeping oil prices and inflation stubbornly elevated.

    Why Do Stocks Go Up and Down? The Meat-and-Potatoes Answer Every Investor Needs

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Ever wondered why stock markets swing wildly one day and barely budge the next? In this episode, Andrew Baxter and Mitch cut through the noise and deliver the meat and potatoes answer every investor needs, breaking down exactly why stocks go up and down without the jargon heavy rubbish you would normally hear from the so called experts on TV. At the heart of it all is one powerful idea: price and value are two very different things. Andrew unpacks what actually moves stock markets and it is not as complicated as the technical talking heads would have you believe. From macro forces like interest rates, inflation, and economic outlook, to micro factors like company earnings, CEO guidance, and share buybacks, this episode covers the full picture in plain English. You will also discover why human psychology, think FOMO, fear, and herd mentality, is arguably the biggest driver of market sentiment, and why understanding that can genuinely tilt the odds in your favour as an investor. Whether you are just getting started or you have been in the market for years, this episode will sharpen the way you think about what moves stock markets and how to read the signals that actually matter. Andrew keeps it simple, practical, and straight to the point because the best investing decisions rarely come from overcomplicating things.

Are we living through the greatest wealth creation opportunity of our lifetime, or are we watching a bubble quietly inflate before our eyes?

    Weird Habits of Self Made Millionaires That Quietly Turn Small Daily Actions Into Long Term Wealth

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Ever wondered what separates the truly wealthy from everyone else? In this week's episode, Andrew and Mitch pull back the curtain on the weird habits of self made millionaires... not the trust fund babies or the lucky few, but the everyday Australians who dug in hard and built real, lasting wealth from scratch. From showering to classical music as a nightly wind-down ritual, to haggling over five dollars in a shopping centre only to reveal they already own half of it, the quirks are real, fascinating, and surprisingly instructive. Andrew shares personal anecdotes and stories from time spent with some of the world's most recognised names in business and finance, including insights on what truly drives self made millionaires beyond the money itself. The big takeaway? It's never really about the scorecard. It's about the process: spending less than you earn, building long-term assets, and playing the wealth game with discipline rather than chasing short-term dopamine hits. Whether you're just starting out or already on your way, this episode is packed with practical mindset shifts and real-world habits you can act on today. The weird habits of self made millionaires might just be the wake-up call your financial future needs.

    From Wage to Wealth: The 4 Income Streams Every Investor Needs to Win the Money Game

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Are you working hard but still feel like you're spinning your wheels financially? The problem might not be your effort. It could be your income streams. In this episode, Andrew and Mitch break down the 4 income streams every investor needs to win the money game: earned income, business income, investment income, and passive income. Most Australians spend 40 years working and still retire with less than they need. Not because they didn't earn enough, but because nobody handed them a proper playbook. The hard truth is that most people are only operating with one, maybe one and a half income streams, leaving them dangerously exposed to inflation, wage stagnation, and financial stagnation. Andrew explores what separates the wage earners from the wealth builders, how to identify which income streams suit your personality and goals, and why investment income and passive income are non-negotiables if you're serious about long term financial freedom. Whether you're an employee, a self-employed Maverick, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge the way you think about money and give you a clear framework for building genuine, lasting wealth. Because holding cash at the bank while inflation runs hot isn't a strategy. It's a slow leak. If this episode opened your eyes to the power of multiple income streams, don't keep it to yourself.

    Psychology of Stock Market Success: Master Discipline, Risk, and Consistency

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. What's really standing between you and consistent investment success? Spoiler: it's not your strategy, it's your mindset. In this episode, Andrew and Mitch dive deep into the psychology of stock market performance, unpacking the mental traps that quietly derail even the most promising investors. From emotional discipline and cognitive biases to overconfidence and fear-driven decision-making, Andrew breaks down the major psychological pinch points that hold traders back, and more importantly, how to overcome them. You'll learn why consistency and belief in your process matter far more than chasing the next hot indicator, and why the shortest distance between success and failure is the few centimetres between your ears. Andrew shares real client stories and hard-won lessons from his own career, including a standout example of a disciplined investor who banked over 33% returns simply by following a structured plan and keeping emotions out of the equation. The episode also explores how to match your investment strategy to your personal mindset and time horizon, and why mixing long-term and short-term thinking can be a costly mistake. If you've ever let a bad morning bleed into a poor trading decision, or second-guessed a solid plan in the heat of the moment, this episode on the psychology of stock market success was made for you.
