Episode 35: Is Uni worth it? Boohoo, ASOS and Tritax feat. Damien Talks Money


Listen Later

This week, Manchester's Marco Polo joins the show for a special guest appearance! With Damien from "Damien Talks Money" on board, the boys set about discussing the week's news in stocks and stock markets. Find out who thinks that ASOS is "a real buy", what "the wooden spoon of investing" is and who's been headhunted to work as a HGV driver. Only on this week's Playing FTSE!

Special guest Damo has a Game-O for the lads. Join in as the Paul and the Steves try to guess ticker symbols -- watch Paul confidently get one entirely wrong and Steve W confidently get one entirely right. In the first game with more than one round, it's then onto trying to figure out which high profile investors are even more wrong than we are about everything.

Next on the agenda is the rumour that some changes to student finance are in the offing. With the idea that going to university might be more financially demanding in the near future in mind, the boys set about discussing their time at university, whether going made financial sense for them, and whether going now would make financial sense. Find out why Steve W would still go and special guest Damien wouldn't. UK retailers ASOS and Boohoo take up the next part of the show. Both stocks have been down lately and both have attracted some interest from various panelists. Steve D talks us through UK retail with Damo doing some victory laps around selling Boohoo to some unsuspecting retail investor. Why does nobody buy t-shirts in the rain? Find out here...

Rounding out the show is Tritax Big Box -- a UK REIT that's recently been catching the eye as a result of a funding raise on Primary Bid. Paul and Damien are the experts on this stock, while the Steves chuck in some observations about REITs and funding. Should investors in Tritax be worried? And how much exposure to Amazon does the company have? Find out here.
