Three stocks from three investor letters

At the end of every quarter we receive so many investor letters, from all around the world, from all different types of funds, sharing what they’re seeing from a macro perspective and stocks they’re investing in and stocks they’re selling. It is a great insight into what professional investors are thinking. And it’s ALL FREE!

So in this episode Bryce & Alec discuss 3 investor letters that caught their eye this week, from different parts of the world. They discuss some of the types of companies these fund managers are writing about, with the aim to show how valuable investor information can be found by us, everyday investors.

53 – How’s Bitcoin doing? Who’s left in the metaverse? And unpacking the Binance hack…

This week, Blake, Tracey and Craig talk about the hackers who’ve stolen around $570 million in tokens from Binance. They also discuss the Celsius Dox story.

The fact that during the bankruptcy proceedings for crypto platform Celsius, the identities of thousands of its customers has been revealed in court filings, DappRadar reporting that the metaverse is quite a lonely place to be, and they wrap up the show with their quick, fast soundbites.

Is it BeReal time?

It is time to BeReal.

Move over TikTok, there’s a hot new social media platform in town. 

Well, it’s not that new. It was released in 2020. But 2022 has been the year that the world decided to BeReal.

And if the ultimate sign that you’ve made it in social media is when Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook try to copy you, well BeReal can now tick that off their list.

Winning a Nobel Prize… 40 years later

The Nobel Prize for Economics has just been awarded. The recipients are 3 American economists whose work demonstrated “why avoiding banking collapses is vital.”

Feels a little obvious. Even more extraordinary, this was published four decades ago. Back in the 1980s.

We wanted to get a better understanding of what was happening with the Nobel Prize for Economics this year. Who won, why their work matters and how it has changed the world today. Sascha is joined by the co-host of Comedian v Economist and the resident economist at Equity Mates Media, Thomas Keily to chat about this subject.

“Just hours from collapse” – Trussonomics takes UK to the brink

The boys were in Sydney for Finfest over the weekend, so Ren from Equity Mates joins them to talk about the train wreck in the UK financial system (note this was recorded before Kwarteng was fired), what the latest earning results are telling us about the economy, the outlook for Aussie property, and why a pub in Dublin is turning off the heating. All this and more on this week’s Comedian v Economist.


Thursday
