Kate, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast. It's good to be back, Owen. Yes, it is indeed, Kate. Yes, it is indeed. We have a monthly Q&A episode for us today and for listeners.
How does gearing impact investment strategies?
We've got six hard-hitting questions.
Yeah, we have quite a few Q&A questions come in via Twitter, Instagram and the podcast email, which is...
podcast at rast.com.au. Where do we get the most questions? Like which channel?
I think it's been pretty closely split between email and Instagram at the moment, which is kind of cool.
Yeah, cool. Because thanks to you, we're trying to do some work on Instagram at the moment. We haven't had much game there.
No, no. Instagram's probably been the area of least attempt recently.
That's good for me. I don't even know how to, I barely even knew how to install. I sound like I'm 90, but I just turned 30.

So just before we get into the questions for this month, Disclaimer, obviously everything that we say in this episode is general advice only at most or if it's factual information, if it's just about money. So even if we answer questions that come from listeners, we often anonymize them or we generalize them anyway. And even if we are talking about situations, they're not specific to any one individual. So always seek the advice of a licensed and trusted financial professional.
And it's good to remember that this is just our thoughts as well. There's always a million and one ways to skin a cat, as they'd say.
