• Bonds, Stocks & Crypto: Where Is The Economy Heading? - TomTalksInvesting
    Jun 10 2026

    Tom from @TomTalksInvesting joined me on this podcast episode to talk about what on earth is going on in the markets.

    We get into the state of the economy, both here in the UK and globally, and what it all actually means for your money.

    Tom also walks me through how he runs his own portfolio, including going through his strategy with individual stocks and crypto.

    And we dig into the biggest lessons we've both picked up along the way.

  • BRAND NEW 0.07% Fee FTSE All-World ETF - Wow!
    Jun 5 2026

    Mentioned in this episode:

    • 📊 ISA tool - click here
    • 🌎 PACW Global ETF review video - click here

    I forgot to mention the ticker symbols, so I put them on screen at 5:56. These are the ticker symbols for the GBP-listed ETFs.

    The main caveat with all of this is that these two ETFs are brand new.

    As a result, they are likely to have higher spread fees, they currently have a relatively small amount of assets under management (AUM) and they have a lack of track record - so we don't know how well the ETFs will track the underlying index.

    But - overall it's still great that we are getting lower and lower fees for global ETFs!

  • Stocks & Shares ISAs Are No Longer Completely Tax-Free - Government Plans To Tax Uninvested Cash
    May 27 2026

    What do you make of this new '22% tax on uninvested cash in Stocks & Shares ISAs'?

    To be transparent and up front, the full details are still not known. Once we do know the full and final details, I will release another episode.

    But I still think it's worth putting this out to make you aware of this coming change and so you have as much time as possible to take any potential actions that you need to.
