What types of companies should you avoid during a market crash?
Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website. And don't forget to read the PDS and TMD to decide if it's right for you. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.

Well, Owen, we spent about 10 minutes trying to find a joke for this episode and I feel exhausted now. So we finally got here.
Well, you're going to be delighted with these jokes that we've come up with. This is part of Shares Month. Don't forget, you can go back and listen to all of our Shares Month episodes if you want to learn how to invest in shares, you want to learn about what analysts do and how to look at companies. In this episode, we're going to answer some questions about investing. These are just really common questions and I think you're going to put them to me. But maybe we can start with a joke, Kate. Why don't you go first with your joke that you've just sourced and it's taken us about 10 minutes to find.
Yes, there's a lot of really bad investing jokes out there on the internet. I'd recommend if you ever get bored to have a look at some of them. But anyway, the one I found today is, why was the stock trader electrocuted?
Why?
Because he shorted Tesla.
Nice.
Yeah, not that funny now because I've read it three times.
Okay, well, here's mine. What's the difference between an investment banker and a pig trader?
I don't know.
The pig doesn't turn into an investment banker when it's drunk.
Have you got to offend anyone on this podcast?
For those investment bankers on the call, please remember this is all PG and we still love you. Okay, so we're talking about share investing. We've got some questions here, Kate. These are like rapid fire questions. We're not going to spend ages on them. You can send us your questions, podcast at rast.com.au and you can always... get your question featured there. If it goes into the running, we'll put it into our Q&A segments, which we do every month or two, or you can just drop them straight into the Facebook community, the Rask Australia Facebook community. But today we're going to try and keep it focused on investing because this is the nature of the shares month. So Kate, I'll just throw it over to you and we can just riff.
Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So Owen, is $1,000 enough to invest in shares or should I start with an ETF?
Well, back in my day, so only about 10 years ago, when I was getting started investing, ETFs were around, but not many of them.
