Episode 16: The BIG short part 2?!? 23.05.2021

What have ARK been doing that’s jumped out at Steve D? What does Paul think is ‘poppycock’? And why does Steve W wish Warren Buffett was more like Paul Briscoe? Find out in this week’s episode of Playing FTSE! Market volatility has been putting downward pressure on high-growth stocks. So this week, Steve W leads us out with a game of “Is the ARK Sinking?”. We then go on to talk about Michael Burry...

Episode 15: You suck at Cha-Math... 16.05.2021

I know we always say this one’s a long one - but my god this one is a long one! Go! Quick! Grab some supplies or you’ll be seeing mirages before the end! We kick it off with our new game show: “You Suck at Cha-Math”, grab a pen and paper and play along - let us know your score in the comments section. After this, we talk about our portfolios, how we’re doing, our actions when we’re having a bad we...

Episode 14: How to be a Rule Breaker Investor 09.05.2021

Hello & welcome to episode 14! We're still a threesome this week due to illness (get well soon Zak!) but welcome back Steve W from his honeymoon. In this one, we open with how our portfolios are doing, touch upon BoE Governor Andrew Bailey’s thoughts on crypto, and how FAANG has seemingly hoovered up the US stimulus. Our main topic, following the Motley Fools Chairman David Gardner stepping down,...

Episode 13: Streaming wars...who's winning? 25.04.2021

We're minus one this week as Steve W is on Honeymoon - but we didn't let that stop us. In this one, we discuss Britcoin, Biden and the Fed's new tax proposals, Netflix's latest earnings, and what this means for the streaming wars and lastly Zak gives us a rundown on his new favourite penny stock!

Episode 12 - Earnings, Emerging Markets and Tencent in your ISA. 18.04.2021

In this week's podcast we discuss our favourite Emerging Market stocks, we cover Alibaba and JD.com and tell you about a hidden way to get Tencent in your ISA dirt cheap! So grab a cuppa', this one's an hour and is jam-packed.

Episode 10: Space tractors, Ricicles and a sat nav in space? 30.03.2021

With Cathie Wood and her ARK heading straight for the moon with their new ETF, ARKX, built around space st0nkz, we try catching up in our space tractors (courtesy of $DE) and figure out why on Earth (or should we say, OFF EARTH) is Netflix included in the holdings. What’s more - get to hear a better angle on #SuezBLOCKED from the inside and what sort of ramifications this would have on small cap c...

Episode 9: Investing in Livestock and Avocados 23.03.2021

This week the lads entertain you with the idea of investing in livestock (yes, you heard that right!), and AVOCADOS. And, there’s more. We get to grips with the BEEF that’s being slowly cooked between a sleeping giant (Volkswagen, or should we say Voltswagen?) and the milky bar kid if he was on the ecstacy herbal cigarettes; Tesla. With VW flexing its muscle with it’s new SUV EV and expansions int...

Episode 8: Gettin' Personal 15.03.2021

Due to popular demand, the lads give insight into their portfolio strategies, why and where they see their portfolios going, discuss the crypto-heroic #Coinbase and its highly anticipated IPO, discuss why FRX could be terrible, and what it means for UK buyers if the USD devalues. It’s economics made simple mixed with our usual "Brit banter" - so grab a cuppa, and let’s get to it!

Episode 7: Yellen about Trading212, Chamath and the Market. 10.03.2021

This week the lads are "Yellen" #goldprice #BTC #inflation & is $RBLX a gift OR a curse? (Watch out parents!) Also, we talk #nftart and its intro to MMO games. AND! Why is #arkinvest selling & $ARGO diluting? WHAT is going on? Folks, this one's a fun one.

Episode 6: Jerome Powell-less? 02.03.2021

Fresh off the #podcast printer.. the lads discuss $WKHS making an OSHKOSH of the USPS contract (no thanks to YTers, too!), Jerome Powel-less plays little to no part in Season 2 of the hit show, The Stimulus Hype (that's a first!). Over on the other side, Rishi Sunak (or Scrooge as he's known), is to stop at no cost, we hear - and he's bringing out the good 'ol Casio Scientific to address us with....

Episode 5: Talking ARPU and Kangaroogles 24.02.2021

And we're off again! This week the lads discuss $BRK.B Buffet - the controversial 13F, Snowflakes & is ARPU that big of a BUZZ?! What's more, Texas goes under. Speaking of which, over in Oz, did Google throttle it & $FB bottle it? Tune in for the usual banter & get the scoop on Ai with Aerion who looks to go supersonic with SPAC $ALTU (or so the whispers suggest!).

Episode 4: Playing FTSE with the FTSE 16.02.2021

And this week, the lads break all sorts of rules to ONLY discuss breakout stocks of the FTSE! That's right, NO $TSLA, NO $AMZN, and definitely NO $LLOY (Sorry, Motley Fool, but we've got this one). So grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy a show packed full of FTSE st0nkers and good ol' British humour once again

Episode 3: Chamath the Disney Villain? 10.02.2021

And that's not all, $HAAC takes the spotlight this week and along with it a thorough breakdown of what NAV means in the context of SPACS. We hope you found it entertaining and informative as usual, and appr...

Episode 2: GME Stopped 03.02.2021

Well, we're back by popular demand! In this one, we catch up about $GME, discuss recent broker performance, give our thoughts on portfolio diversification, live reactions to AMZN and GOOG's earnings and answer some listener questions! Stocks discussed: Dermtech (DMTK) / Roper Tech (ROP) / Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY) / Facebook (FB) and more. Thanks for sticking with us!

Episode 1 28.01.2021

It's the first episode of the playing FTSE podcast, the name is just catchy because if anything we don't talk a lot about FTSE stocks. Today we talk about the Gamestop short squeeze and some elements of the ARK Invest big ideas booklet. Thanks very much for tuning in to the first one, we're well aware this is a bit choppy and we're going to work hard to improve it and make it much more entertainin...
