Listener Daniel asks: You’ve said Australia is about six months behind the US on interest rates. With so many other countries including the US now having cut rates - shouldn’t the RBA be thinking about the same thing?

Listener Brian asks: Sean, does the rise in ETF-based investments contribute to greater market sensitivity? If we were to imagine a market entirely owned by ETFs, there would be no direct price-setting by individual investors. Is there a risk of moving toward such a scenario?

Listener Jo asks: Sean has mentioned several times there are concerns with super fund giants becoming too big in Australia, most recently on Mondays episode discussing the impact they are now having on IPOs and ASX listings.

My question is: what are the long term ramifications of this an investor might need to consider, and how will it impact the economy?

There are few things more frustrating for buyers than property listings that don't include a price. The words 'expressions of interest' or 'price on application' are guaranteed to get the blood pressure rising. 

Alice Stolz, National Property Editor at Domain, and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson look at why prices are left off listings, how buyers and sellers can each use it to their advantage, and what a lack of transparency means for the risk of underquoting.

Listener Charlie asks: Hi Sean and Michael, love the show. Why is it that the Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock says that interest rates won’t fall until at least next year, yet financial markets and some economists don’t believe her? They say rates will fall this year.

Listener Mark asks: You’ve mentioned the Roy Morgan Trust Survey five or six times now, on social media and on the podcast. It was in reference to Coles and Woolies, going from two of the most trusted brands in Australia, to two of the most distrusted brands. And that was before the ACCC made their claims about dodgy specials. A couple of questions. Why does trust matter to a business? In the case of Coles and Woolies - we’re still going to use them, even if we don’t trust them. And the bigger question - once trust is broken - can it be restored?
