In this episode we deep dive into the devastating Russia-Ukraine conflict through an investing and economics lens. We discuss how events like this effect our investments, as well as the overall economy. We talk about the volatility created by unforeseen 'black swan' events, what mindsets we should try to adopt in these uncertain times, and creative ways that we can help Ukraine from afar financially.

We want to preface this episode by letting you know that it was recorded before the devastating invasion in Ukraine began, which is why you won't hear mention of it when we speak of 'big global issues' like COVID. If you would like to donate (there are other options than just financially), please see how in this article.
Despite everything going on globally right now, there's something else happening that's been impacting your investments, and it might not be as obvious as you might've thought - can we have a drum roll for...interest rates! We've been in a low interest rate environment for a while now, but things are changing. Even small increases in interest rates can have a huuuge impact on the stock market, and your investments. It might not sound like the most interesting topic (Sophie didn't think so either at the beginning of this episode either), but it's an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding the overall economic environment.

'100-baggers' are the kinds of investments that professional investors spend their entire careers looking for, and hopefully after this episode, you'll be able to spot them too.

In this episode, Vic explains capital preservation. This basically means that your investing strategy is to maintain your capital, rather than rapidly growing it. It’s a low-risk approach, so if you’re saving for something in the mid-to-short term, like a new car, a wedding (OR you have a shorter time horizon), this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
