If you’ve spent this year hearing about AI stocks, huge IPOs and people supposedly getting rich overnight, and you’ve felt more confused than confident about investing… this one’s for you.
In this week’s Deep Dive, Victoria flies solo to share eight investing rules that have survived every crash, boom, bubble and “this time it’s different” moment for decades. One of them is more than 500 years old. They come from some of the most respected investors in history, including Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and Bob Farrell, and she tests each one against real moments in market history.
We chat:
📈Why compounding is the closest thing investing has to magic (and the 500-year-old Rule of 72)
📈Building in a “margin of safety” so you’ve got room to be wrong
📈Why owning lots of Aussie shares doesn’t automatically mean you’re diversified
📈 The fee maths that could cost you hundreds of thousands over your lifetime
📈 Why time in the market beats timing the market (every time)
📈 How markets always snap back, like a stretched rubber band
📈Being fearful when others are greedy… and greedy when others are fearful
📈 And why “there are no new eras” (unless you’re a Swifty)
This isn’t an episode about which shares or ETFs to buy. It’s one to bookmark and come back to whenever the media gets loud and confusing, so you can stay steady, invested. Because sometimes, quiet and “boring” beats loud and “exciting”
Whether you’re yet to make your first investment or you’ve been building a portfolio for years, there’s something in this episode that could change the way you build your wealth, starting today!
