Last week, I joined Jess McGuire on ABC Statewide Drive to discuss the current reporting season.

This week, I joined David Taylor on ABC PM to discuss the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest rate cut and why bank customers should take action. Many of us are effectively lending money to banks for free, and inertia prevents us from seeking better returns.

Yesterday, I joined Ausbiz to discuss market trends, noting that while disinflation and economic growth provide support, tightening liquidity could impact small caps this year. I highlighted real estate as an opportunity, where temporary setbacks, like the REA Group (ASX:REA) CEO’s resignation, may offer buying chances. Looking ahead, U.S. and China tensions and debt refinancing remain key risks, with history suggesting a potential market decline despite the bullish backdrop. You can watch my full interview here: Ausbiz – 2025 wildcards beyond the White House continue…
