Bryce and Alec are back from the US - Alec has almost recovered from his cold - and they're ready to chat about what's happened in the markets to date in 2023. So much for a tough year... ASX 200 is up 2%, the S&P 500 is up 9% and the best performer is the Nikkei 225 - which is up 20%! We reflect on what our predictions were at the start of the year - looks like we got a couple in the bag, but mostly it was a classic case of recency bias - 2022 was tough, so banks just predicted more of the same in 2023. Later in the episode, Bryce catches up with his coach and mentor Henry Jennings, for more of a chat about his investment strategy - they're trying to work out how he might reduce his investing landscape to a couple of key stocks. Get in touch, tell us what you want Bryce to chat about in his sessions with Henry, and more of what you want us to discuss! Contact the guys here.
