JD Breytenbach, Senior Trader at EasyEquities’ parent company Purple Group, gives us a wrap up on events in the markets for the month of August. He also highlights events he expects to be the market-driving factors in September.

Global central banks’ dance with inflation dominated news, while on the crypto side of things we get caught up on the latest events and even the overlap it shares with September’s Africa ComiCon event.

We also spoke about the financial results released by local companies, as JD offered insight into Discovery’s (JSE:DSY) and Shoprite’s (JSE:SHP) earnings. He also sheds light on SA’s Massmart (JSE:MSM) being bought out by USA’s Walmart (NYSE:WMT).

Tune into this episode to hear about all the assets and stocks JD is keeping an eye on in September.

We love it when a young INVSTR encourages people to save and invest. And our guest, Sven Meyer, is all about that at only 19 years of age at the time of recording.

In the spirit of keeping things young and fresh, Sven and our host play a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ to kick-off the chat, highlighting a few of the early lessons our guest has learned in his own investment journey.

From goal-based investing to giving insight into how he learned to navigate finance jargon, as well as the 4% Rule he learned, this episode is chockfull of gems. Sven also tells us about the mistakes he had made in his own approach, which everyone can learn from.

He also gives a shoutout to veterans in the finance space, Simon Brown and Sam Beckbessinger, whom he learned heavily from when starting his journey.

Give this episode a listen to find out why Sven is a big fan of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which are an investment product that you can find out all about in this episode with Nerina Visser here. We take a sneak peek into Sven’s own portfolio as he tells us about the shares and products he himself has invested in, and which ones are performing well and which aren’t.

We want to show some love to our Namibian listeners and INVSTRs. Flying the Namibian flag high in this episode is Jacobine ‘Ms EasyVestor’ Amutenya.

From our studio in Jozi to Jacobine’s home in Windhoek, we went across the border to bridge the gap between our INVSTRs’ experiences via this episode with the social media maverick.

We get to know how she began her own journey toward financial freedom, from the initial investing mistakes she made, to understanding what motivated her to even start in the first place.

Make sure to join us as we all take a peek into Ms EasyVestor’s portfolio as well (yep, we go there).

Jacobine also tells us about how she conducts research on the assets she buys, so if you’re looking for a way to start make sure to give this episode a listen.

Side note: if anyone tried to tell you that social media is bad, tell them that we have many investors, like Jacobine, who found the path for financial freedom via Twitter.

We always talk about investment vehicles, but we want to change gears a bit and talk about another type of vehicle, which happens to be an expense many people struggle with. Cars!

This is why we invited Reba S, a motor enthusiast and content creator who gives us the nitty gritty under the financial hood when it comes to vehicles and financing these machines. 

Reba gives us some unexpected advice and her unpopular opinions on buying and maintaining your car, as well as breaking down some of the popular misconceptions and mistakes people tend to make when it comes to vehicles.

We go from balancing the pros and cons of buying pre-owned cars, to financing options available to buyers, as well as navigating balloon [bleeping] payments.

If you’re a motorhead, did you know that you can buy shares in and invest in listed companies that are in the business of cars, via EasyEquities? From Transaction Capital (part owners of WeBuyCars) as well as Cartrack in South Africa, to Ford and Ferrari listed in America, you have many choices.

For more insights from Reba, you can catch her doing her thing on Ignite, DSTV channel 189.
