Content Style: Equity Mates Updates

OK - everyone stop watching your mates Instagram European Vacation stories and let's focus on some potential European investing opportunities. But first, Alec asks, have we officially reached too many ETFs? There are some crazy ETF's listed in the USA. The God Bless America ETF, with the ticker YALL, the MAGA Index is made up of 150 companies from the S&P 500 Index whose employees and political action committees (PACs) are highly supportive of Republican candidates. DEMZ, the democratic large-cap core fund only includes companies that have made over 75% of their contributions to the democrats and causes. But enough of that ... back to the news. The Euro and US Dollar hit parity so Alec and Bryce discuss the European opportunities for us here in Australia (and the US) - and it's not all about a Greek Island holiday!

The first Sharemarket Game for the year is over, and Adam, Thomas, Bryce and Ren sit down to talk about what they did, and how it went. Equity Mates Media partnered with the ASX to deliver content for the ASX Sharemarket Game participants. For those that haven't participated before, The Game gives you an opportunity to learn about the sharemarket and how it works.

A BIG BIG show today. Bryce and Alec chat briefly about a core satellite approach in the current market, then turn their attention to who they think might be the worst investor in the world. They also discuss the pain that's been felt for streaming stocks and whether an opportunity might be emerging before finishing it off with a discussion on Australia's status as an inflation hedge... is this coming to an end?

We're excited because we're checking back in on the ASX Sharemarket game this week! A reminder, participants in the game get to invest $50,000 in virtual cash in the S&P/ASX200, a range of ETFs and a selection of small and mid-cap companies... we first invested on 3 March and we love how the game lets us get a good taste for how the market moves, how your investments are tracking, without having to invest any of your own money. This week we take a little review of how we're going (spoiler - not great) and then throw around some ideas of some themes we're interested in adding to the portfolio - Hydrogen and Lithium.
