Our episode today is inspired by James from the UK. He wrote and asked:

Why you wouldn’t just invest in an S&P 500 index fund?

So today we go over 2 reasons why you would and 1 reason why you wouldn’t... First of all: just what *is* automated investing? Basically, it means you set up a rule with your broker that tells it to invest a consistent amount of money at regular intervals. Generally, it involves investing in a well diversified index fund - could be an S&P 500 index fund or ASX 200 - but ideally a global fund like a Vanguard VDHG or Betashares DHHF. (We've got heaps of resources on our website!)

This Bitesize comes from one of our most downloaded episodes ever! Picture this: the stock market takes a nosedive, but then, out of nowhere, it springs back up. That's what we call a 'Dead Cat Bounce' - a temporary recovery from a prolonged decline or bear market. But don't be fooled, it's usually followed by the continuation of the downtrend, making it a perfect trap for unsuspecting investors. This is a little segment from an episode the guys recorded almost 18 months ago!

Today we're joined by Tori Dunlap - American investor, feminist, founder, and financial educator. After successfully saving $100,000 by the age of 25, she quit her corporate job in marketing to fight for your financial rights. To date, she's helped over three million women make more, spend less, and feel financially confident.

We talk to her about how she founded her business, how she'd find an extra $100 tomorrow, what she's learned about running a business, and what her goals look like now.

Big announcement from us - we've written a new book! It's coming out on 22 August and you can pre-order now from Amazon or Booktopia. What's the jist? Basically we know money is stressful at the moment, and if you’re investing it can be hard to know if what you’re doing is enough. Keep your ears out for events that'll celebrate the launch, but we look forward to sharing it with you!

EOFY is approaching, and we had a bunch of listeners reach out with questions for this episode!

Cathy asked: As a new investor, it would be great to know all the basics for tax time.

Well, that'd be a huge episode first of all. So we decided to focus purely on the deductions for now. Importantly we need to stress - we are not tax professionals and we are not aware of your personal financial circumstances. So our first piece of advice is: speaking to a tax professional is tax deductible. So, let's crack in, and look at some of the deductions you can make as an investor.

Also, if you're looking at a few cheeky things to buy before the EOFY, can we tempt you with these offers?

Number one - the Rask + Equity Mates courses! Take a free course or become part of the highly-rated Value Investor Program, with the Promo Code: EOFY until the end of June.
