The only finance podcast in the world where you’ll get this brand of random and deadly non-related topics rolled up into a fatty of fellowship and fun! It’s all on with guest Derek Blank, host Darcy Ungaro and the mysterious one they call Pumpkin!

1 – The NZ Stock Exchange punches above it’s weight – you may be surprised to learn it’s even better to our Aussie neighbours too! Why has this been and what’s on the horizon?

2 – Historically your investment in the stock market over the last 30 years would give you a greater return (assuming no leverage) than property – yet many New Zealanders snub share in favour of bricks and Mordor- Derek explains why, and while he’s at it, some discussion erupts thanks to Pumpkin, around what the GFC is and why did it have to happen.

3 – ‘The Fed’ is explained, and contrasted to ‘the OCR’ and while we’re at it we talk about what inflation is and how interest rates can control it – yip, there’s something for everyone!!

4 – No one knows the words to ‘in your neighbourhood’ from Sesame St.

Investing doesn’t need to be boring and only the domain of fat balding men who drive Audi A5’s – we’re all learning and sure we’re coming from different starting places, but the good thing is the market is changing so fast, you can become an expert too – we hope you enjoy the show!
