NZ Everyday Investor

An economist [I used to respect] was recently asked, why is debt getting more expensive?
His response?
"this is what happens when your economy is starting to show some growth and the risk for inflationary pressures shift upward."
It’s almost like our economists care too much about getting a job at the RBNZ than they do speaking the truth. Read more.
Meanwhile, just over half of all Kiwis, feel unprepared for retirement (and that includes debt-free homeowners who thought they’d done everything right.) Something has to be done to fix this, but is asking the government to make more rules around KiwiSaver really the right answer? Ben Davin and Mark White-Robinson join me to discuss.

If New Zealand approved a 'de minimus' tax exception for small Bitcoin transactions, we might become a magnet for the type of people who could make this country great again.
This conversation was recorded before the Coldcard exploit, which cost hundreds of holders their coins, was known. I'm joined by Mikey Smith, founder and CEO of Guardian Smith and Treasurer of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand, and Kevin Whitmore, Chair of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand: two people who live and breathe this stuff, and who bring both the policy chops and the on-the-ground perspective to make sense of it.

The most common manifestation of active investing is timing the market. Get out at the top, sit in cash, wait for the crash, then jump back in.
I see a lot of investors thinking and doing this right now, and while it's understandable, what happens if everyone's looking at the same information? Read full article (not AI).

On the 23rd of June 2026, something happened to the South Korean index that hasn't happened since 1980. Francis Hunt (aka 'The Market Sniper') thinks this may be the canary in the coal mine which could trigger, not just an AI 'correction', but a global credit event.
Is he a doomer, or someone with a different set of incentives? As usual, this isn't financial advice, but I do hope it gets you thinking.

Could you get in trouble with the FMA? From podcast hosts to social media commenters, it's easy to cross the line and end up providing regulated advice - you might think it's just an opinion, but it might cost you $200k to share it. Elizabeth Asmerom Asfaha, Regulatory Services Advisor at the FMA joins me on this one, where I consider 'am I in trouble too?'.
