About this episode

Australia's latest economic data was released last week, and while our GDP grew 0.2% there were plenty of reasons to be concerned. We dig into the data in today's episode.


We also cover the news of the day, including:

  • Nvidia just experienced the largest one-day loss of value in history. We unpack why
  • This year's largest takeover in Australia, AirTrunk was acquired by Blackstone
  • Hedged v Unhedged ETFs and whether they are worth it
  • Adam Dawes joins for another Pimp my Portfolio
