We think this is the toughest year since we’ve started doing the podcast. Ren think it’s been a reality check - reminding him of the importance of a strong core. Bryce said 2022 showed him DCA is the way to go. 

The best way to learn is with the help of others too - so we heard from you!

There's been plenty happening in the world of cybersecurity. From the recent well publicised Optus hack where millions of customers information was breached, to Medibank Private, and now a subsidiary of Woolworths has been hacked.

As John T Chambers former CEO of Cisco says, "There are two types of companies ... those that have been hacked .. and those that don't know they've been hacked."

In today's episode Bryce & Alec discuss the environment and more particularly the investing opportunities in companies and ETF's firmly entrenched in the combat and development of cybersecurity.

Black Friday Sales are a global shopping bonanza.

Alec & Bryce are a little distracted in today's episode as they scour the internet for Black Friday Sales and Christmas present shopping.

But, with all seriousness. We delve into how differently we all react when there is a discount in the world of consumables ... compared to how we think about discounts in the stock market.

People go crazy when they know they can get 15% off toys or TV's for Christmas presents, they'll que up outside a retail shop for hours ... yet when the stock market is down 15%, people will run to the hills.

So let's arm you with the information why when the stock market is 'on sale' ... it's a good time to buy.
