“The nerve to begin the podcast with a remark about the poor sound quality, when in actual fact you meant: ‘one of us was unprofessional enough to draw on their notepad the entire time that the guest was speaking rendering them inaudible and the podcast unlistenable’. It’s literally your job not to do that. I usually enjoy the show, Georgie is a joy. However, recently it’s become harder to listen to. As someone else commented, the discussions sometimes slip into financial advice, something that none of the presenters are even close to being qualified to provide. The deputy editor (Lee??) only got into investing a year/two years ago and yet he too can slip into giving advice; it often becomes painfully clear that he doesn’t know enough to know when he should stop talking. Lastly, Georgie checking her ISA seemingly every day and reporting on every rise and fall is, while endearing and the reason she’s great, literally the last thing financial advisors will recommend one does. Further, Georgie repeatedly brings up the story of how (Simon?) said the markets could start to turn, and she laments the fact that if she sold her holdings at the time she wouldn’t have “lost” (on paper…) quite so much money - again, attempting to time the market is literally the worst thing you can do as a longterm individual investor as per investing 101.
Edit: they are now (09/21) sponsored by eToro. Having previously invested with eToro for a decade, I can confirm they are scam artists. For example, opening markets several minutes after actual market opening hours; freezing trading before/during volatility on specific instruments so customers cannot benefit from trades nor sell out of losing trades. Don’t take my word for it, just spend 5 minutes reading the comments on the platform and you’ll get the picture. Avoid like the plague. Another example of how little the presenters know when in comes to investing; why else would a two-bit scam platform target this pod? I’ve stopped listening. One star for what it was.”

“I have just started listening to this show however it’s presenters are just the right mix. They don’t treat their audience like idiots and they all have their own opinions. They also realise not everyone lives in London. Easy to understand and I’ve found it quite helpful when looking at...”Read full review »
