Inside Investing, Podcast Episode #2

Welcome to the second episode of Inside Investing.

Each week, James Marlay, co founder of Livewire Markets, and I will take you inside the investing world we experience each week. We will discuss interesting conversations or conferences we have enjoyed, highlight insightful articles from both our newsletters, and share some quirky moments in the markets.

This week, Inside Investing revisits an article by Paul Keating looking at challenges for retirement planning, highlights an optimistic fund manager and checks risks investing in long duration bonds. We review the numbers behind A2 Milk’s surging share price and we highlight two quirky money stories. Tune in!
