In this new episode, Lloyd examines whether Australia’s property downturn is just a temporary correction or the beginning of a much larger shift. With inflation rising again, interest rate cuts being pushed further out, and property prices already falling across major cities, Lloyd breaks down what's driving the decline and what investors, homeowners, and renters should be watching closely.

◼️ Why are property prices falling despite Australia’s housing shortage?

◼️ Could higher interest rates trigger a much deeper housing correction?

◼️ What should homeowners, investors, and first-home buyers do next?

In this new episode, Lloyd tackles one of the biggest investing debates of all: should you pick individual stocks or simply buy index funds? While many investors dream of finding the next Apple, Nvidia, or Amazon, the data tells a very different story about how wealth is actually created in the stock market and why even professional fund managers often struggle to outperform.

◼️ Why do most individual stocks underperform despite the market delivering strong returns?

◼️ What are the odds of identifying the next big winner before everyone else?

◼️ Should you own a handful of stocks, an index fund, or a combination of both?
