Episode Details

Top investment analyst and property expert Pete Wargent is back on Get Invested to talk about how to handle Australia’s investment boom.

Will the boom continue? Are we in a bubble? Will it burst and if so when? Who do you turn to in order to find out?

Certainly not the mainstream media unless you want to continue to scare yourself sick, because their only remaining currency to stall their pending demise and attract and engage your ears and eyeballs is to peddle you a continuous diet of sensationalist fear and greed – a nutritionless fast food diet that will leave you overburdened but undernourished, leaving you burnt out, broken and broke.

So where do you turn? Who can you talk to that has a deep understanding and almost intuitive knowledge of the full spectrum of global and local economics and their relationship and impact on current and future shares and property markets?  Someone who doesn’t have a conflict of interest, a bias or a vested interest but can give you real independent and objective views to help you make better informed investment decisions? 

For my money, the best person to avoid the fear factory fiction and give you the unadulterated facts and meaningful insights is our Get Invested regular, Pete Wargent.

As well as being one of Australia’s brightest financial minds, Pete’s well known to us here on Get Invested as a six-time published finance author and leading investment analyst on the back of his work as an active investor, property buyer’s agent, strategist and mentor, where he uses his tried and tested strategies to assist you in achieving your financial goals across the broad spectrum of property and equities.

Like yours truly, he is on a mission to wake up and shake up hard working Australians to get invested beyond super in order to attain and maintain your ideal lifestyle long term, and to educate you with quality information so that you can make fully informed investment decisions.

His recent book, Low Rates High Returns, written with Stephen Moriarty, gives you a timeless investment strategy to navigate and outperform in the decade ahead.

The broad goal of the book is to have you develop a rigorous systematic approach to investing. Pete is confident that combining a philosophy of investing with both the thought and action principles will enhance your investment success. 

I talk through the key learnings from this book in more detail throughout this episode. 

If you want to find out how to apply his eight timeless principles in practice, grab yourself a copy of Low Rates High Returns and then you can use this together with the insights that Pete shares with us in our great conversation today to de-risk and boost your investment results and grow your wealth.
