Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Just before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge and
- 0:03Speaker 1: pay respect to Australia's Aboriginal and torrest Rate islander peoples.
- 0:07Speaker 1: They're the traditional custodians of the lands, the waterways and
- 0:10Speaker 1: the skies all across Australia. We thank you for sharing
- 0:13Speaker 1: and for caring for the land on which we are
- 0:15Speaker 1: able to learn. We pay respects to elders past and present,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and we share our friendship and our kindness.
- 0:22Speaker 2: She's on the Money, She's on the Money.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
- 0:48Speaker 3: for millennials who want financial freedom. Half of Australians, an
- 0:52Speaker 3: estimated nine point five million people now own shares. But
- 0:56Speaker 3: if you don't know your divid beginnings from your dividends,
- 1:01Speaker 3: this is the episode for you. My name is Georger
- 1:05Speaker 3: King and joining me as always to discuss growth investing
- 1:08Speaker 3: versus dividend investing is financial advisor Victoria define V.
- 1:13Speaker 1: How funny this early in the morning, G King, how
- 1:16Speaker 1: like it? I like it? Indeed, it is a hot topic.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I mean probably not a hot topic in our community yet,
- 1:22Speaker 1: but a hot topic in my world and something that
- 1:25Speaker 1: I really really want to talk about and low key
- 1:28Speaker 1: The reason I want to talk about it is because
- 1:29Speaker 1: I've just finished writing the chapters in my book on
- 1:32Speaker 1: dividend and growth investing in I was like, we need
- 1:34Speaker 1: to talk about this because they're both very different strategies,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and I really think that there's so much value in
- 1:40Speaker 1: really deeply understanding different strategies, even if you're not planning
- 1:44Speaker 1: on investing yet. Like, I just want you to know
- 1:46Speaker 1: when someone says I'm a growth investor, you don't just
- 1:49Speaker 1: go that's your risk profile, right, because it's not. But Gking,
- 1:52Speaker 1: did you know that during the COVID nineteen Panini we
- 1:55Speaker 1: actually saw a surge in first time investors. The Panini
- 1:58Speaker 1: the se a very delicious, disgusting sandwich, but nobody wants
- 2:03Speaker 1: to buy at the shop love it? Okay?
- 2:04Speaker 3: Hang on, So you said we saw a search in
- 2:06Speaker 3: first time investors through the Panini.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Through the Beanini. Why Well, I would love to think
- 2:12Speaker 1: it was because that's also when she's on the money
- 2:14Speaker 1: was finding its feet. Genuinely, I'm just correlation, not causation,
- 2:18Speaker 1: So we'll just go with that. But what I think
- 2:21Speaker 1: it is is a lot of people were home thinking
- 2:23Speaker 1: about their wealth. There was a lot more journalism about it,
- 2:26Speaker 1: there was more stuff in the media, and we've also
- 2:28Speaker 1: seen a whole heap of brilliant new micro investing and
- 2:32Speaker 1: individual share investing companies pop up that are making investing
- 2:36Speaker 1: so much more accessible. So I think it's pretty amazing,
- 2:38Speaker 1: obviously because this is what I'm passionate about, but also
- 2:41Speaker 1: adore that people are prioritizing their money. But it also
- 2:43Speaker 1: tells us that a lot of people are now taking
- 2:46Speaker 1: the leap into the investing world for the first time
- 2:48Speaker 1: and putting future them first, which I love. And if
- 2:51Speaker 1: you are in the privileged position of being able to
- 2:53Speaker 1: do this, then yay, exciting for you. And g research
- 2:57Speaker 1: done by our friends that Finder last year actually showed
- 3:00Speaker 1: that gen Z so those people twenty five and under
- 3:04Speaker 1: which we are not Georgia King, they tend to find
- 3:07Speaker 1: investing the least intimidating and they are more likely to
- 3:10Speaker 1: give shares ago than any other generation, followed closely by
- 3:13Speaker 1: jen y, which is us those peeps who are aged
- 3:16Speaker 1: between twenty six and forty. So double yay. This makes
- 3:19Speaker 1: me really really happy. So I thought today, even though
- 3:22Speaker 1: you don't seem that keen on it by the look
- 3:24Speaker 1: on your face, I thought today we would take a
- 3:27Speaker 1: little bit two different types of investments and get to
- 3:29Speaker 1: know them a little.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Bit deeper before we do move on. Really shocked that
- 3:34Speaker 3: people twenty five and under are the ones that aren't
- 3:38Speaker 3: afraid of investing. That is news to me. What's that about?
- 3:41Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, these are the ones that are
- 3:43Speaker 1: on TikTok and they're just much cooler than us. Like,
- 3:45Speaker 1: if you're onto the age of twenty five and listening
- 3:47Speaker 1: to this podcast, like you already know you're cooler than us.
- 3:49Speaker 1: So I'm just I reckon. That's here, just the cool fact.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, interesting take. So let's talk growth versus dividend investing.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Can't wait?
- 3:58Speaker 3: What are they like? Comparing apples and oranges? Gucci and Kmart? Perhaps,
- 4:04Speaker 3: talk me through it. That's a very big parallel.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I like the Gucci Camart kind of vibe because on
- 4:09Speaker 1: the way, oh no, no, absolutely not, I wore a
- 4:13Speaker 1: Kmart headband with a very expensive pair of designer shoes
- 4:16Speaker 1: and I was just real happy about it.
- 4:18Speaker 3: A gorgeous fusion, yeah, a gorgeous.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Fusion that aligned with my values and also made me
- 4:22Speaker 1: really happy because I liked both of those things equally.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Perfect let's bring us back to investing. No, I want
- 4:29Speaker 3: to talk about shoes, growth, fee, dividend just what. So
- 4:33Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's like apples and oranges. I also
- 4:36Speaker 3: wouldn't say it's like a Gucci Kmart comparison. It's actually
- 4:40Speaker 3: just different strategies for different times in your life. So
- 4:44Speaker 3: to quickly summarize, a growth investment is one where you're
- 4:48Speaker 3: investing in that particular share because you are hoping that
- 4:51Speaker 3: it increases in value. You're not looking at it going,
- 4:54Speaker 3: oh my gosh, the dividends it pays out are so sexy.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I really want to have some dividends in my life.
- 5:00Speaker 3: You're actually looking at it going, hey, that company has potential.
- 5:04Speaker 3: I'm young, I have the power of time on my side,
- 5:07Speaker 3: and I'm going to see this grow.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So at some point my portfolio is worth a lot
- 5:11Speaker 1: more than it was yesterday. Then on the flip side,
- 5:14Speaker 1: we've got dividend investing. Honestly, Georgia, you could be a
- 5:17Speaker 1: regular investor and investing in both of these types of
- 5:20Speaker 1: shares because I actually own both of these types of shares.
- 5:23Speaker 1: It's just important to know why you might pick one
- 5:26Speaker 1: over the other and how that works. So a dividend
- 5:29Speaker 1: investing strategy or a divid end share is actually a
- 5:33Speaker 1: share that you purchase, not necessarily with the intention of
- 5:37Speaker 1: it becoming super super expensive on the ax. You're actually
- 5:40Speaker 1: purchasing it to get some income into your portfolio. So
- 5:44Speaker 1: a good example of that is blue chip shares, and
- 5:47Speaker 1: that sounds like a really lame term for essentially really
- 5:50Speaker 1: basic white collar shares. Like we're talking things like banks,
- 5:53Speaker 1: where you know, you might look at a NAB or
- 5:55Speaker 1: a CommBank or a Westpac share and they don't really
- 5:57Speaker 1: fluctuate heaps in price, but they do pay a dividend
- 6:01Speaker 1: because they distribute the profit that they make each and
- 6:04Speaker 1: every single year to the people who are their shareholders.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Whereas you look at something like an after pay which
- 6:11Speaker 1: I'm using as an example because I feel like our
- 6:13Speaker 1: community in our Facebook group last year, we're talking so
- 6:16Speaker 1: much about after pay shares and how much they went
- 6:18Speaker 1: up and that was really sexy. But after pay never
- 6:21Speaker 1: paid a dividend. So the only way in that moment
- 6:25Speaker 1: to make money from an after pay share was to
- 6:27Speaker 1: sell them once your share price had increased in value,
- 6:29Speaker 1: so like.
- 6:30Speaker 3: The capital growth from it, rather than during the process.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And both of those things serve us really well in
- 6:36Speaker 1: a portfolio because obviously we want our portfolio to increase
- 6:39Speaker 1: in value, but the closer and closer we get to retirement,
- 6:43Speaker 1: the more we don't want to have to sell our
- 6:44Speaker 1: shares down, but we actually want to be able to
- 6:47Speaker 1: generate an income. I want my share portfolio to be
- 6:50Speaker 1: paying me for having it without having to dispose of
- 6:52Speaker 1: any of it or sell some of it down, like
- 6:55Speaker 1: I want that to exist forever, essentially, so I can
- 6:57Speaker 1: create a legacy as I get older and maybe one
- 7:00Speaker 1: day when I'm not around, my future children can benefit
- 7:03Speaker 1: from that instead of having to sell your assets down
- 7:06Speaker 1: over time. Does that make sense?
- 7:07Speaker 3: It does make sense.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Good, We're done. That is the entire podcast question.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Though. Can you have a growth investment that also pays dividends?
- 7:16Speaker 1: Yes, you can pay okay so g Yes you can
- 7:20Speaker 1: have a growth and dividend share, But they are arguably
- 7:23Speaker 1: fum or rare like a unicorn. They are what I
- 7:25Speaker 1: would love everybody to have, Like I would love to
- 7:28Speaker 1: think that you buy a share tomorrow, get it starts
- 7:31Speaker 1: paying you out a really nice dividend that you can
- 7:33Speaker 1: either reinvest or uses income to fund your lifestyle and
- 7:37Speaker 1: in a couple of years time, it's worth a whole
- 7:40Speaker 1: heap more than it was yesterday. Sadly, they're not as
- 7:43Speaker 1: common as we would like them to be though, because
- 7:45Speaker 1: more often than not, when you're looking at a growth share,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you've got to look at it as though you're on
- 7:50Speaker 1: the journey with that business as they are growing. It's
- 7:54Speaker 1: not like you're buying. And I use this example all
- 7:56Speaker 1: the time just because it is a very common share
- 7:59Speaker 1: now share or a combink share, like they're not consistently
- 8:03Speaker 1: growing year on year on year, Like they're just a
- 8:05Speaker 1: big business and all the cogs are turning and you
- 8:07Speaker 1: know that they're reliable and they're not going anywhere orreas
- 8:10Speaker 1: an afterpay. When they came into the market, everyone started
- 8:13Speaker 1: talking about them and they had a low share price,
- 8:15Speaker 1: and obviously that has increased significantly. But to have that
- 8:18Speaker 1: type of growth, businesses need to reinvest in themselves, and
- 8:22Speaker 1: they can't pay a dividend to you, i e. They
- 8:25Speaker 1: can't give the profits to you gking because they actually
- 8:28Speaker 1: need to reinvest it into the business for it to grow.
- 8:30Speaker 1: So it's usually one or the other, but sometimes you
- 8:33Speaker 1: do get unicorns that do both because they have increased
- 8:36Speaker 1: significantly because they might have done something really sexy. But
- 8:40Speaker 1: also they're in a position to pay profits out to
- 8:42Speaker 1: their shareholders. But I wouldn't be banking on it, but
- 8:46Speaker 1: they are my favorite type, right, Okay?
- 8:48Speaker 3: So is it as simple as it's saying on the
- 8:51Speaker 3: tin what is what? So, for example, you go on
- 8:54Speaker 3: to the share shop and you're buying a share.
- 8:58Speaker 1: The shop the shahp okay?
- 9:00Speaker 3: Is it as simple as choosing like the one that
- 9:03Speaker 3: says growth or dividend? Like, how do you know what
- 9:06Speaker 3: you're choosing? So you've got to do a little bit
- 9:08Speaker 3: of research. You've got to look into the historics of
- 9:11Speaker 3: the share. It's really easyg If you just go to
- 9:14Speaker 3: the ASX website and look up the share, it will
- 9:16Speaker 3: tell you whether or not it has paid a dividend. Ever,
- 9:19Speaker 3: what those dividends look like. So let's talk pros and
- 9:23Speaker 3: cons then V we'll start with growth investing growth shares. Yes,
- 9:28Speaker 3: talk me through the benefits why we should look at
- 9:31Speaker 3: doing this, and then maybe the downfalls as well what
- 9:34Speaker 3: we need to be mindful of.
- 9:35Speaker 1: So there are a few reasons why you do both
- 9:38Speaker 1: of them, right, And I actually think it plays a
- 9:40Speaker 1: lot into one your risk profile, so like how willing
- 9:43Speaker 1: you are to take on risk. But growth share is
- 9:46Speaker 1: actually a bit riskier than a dividend share, and that's
- 9:49Speaker 1: for obvious reasons because there's significant fluctuations in the share
- 9:52Speaker 1: price and it's due to the growth of the company,
- 9:55Speaker 1: whereas a share that actually just pays a dividend, like
- 9:58Speaker 1: they're pretty tried and true when tested, like they're the
- 10:01Speaker 1: steady steed that keeps plodding along. And you might be
- 10:04Speaker 1: spending you know, sixty or seventy dollars a share, but
- 10:08Speaker 1: you're actually buying a very small portion of income, and
- 10:11Speaker 1: as time goes on, that income can do one of
- 10:14Speaker 1: two things. As I said to you before, it can
- 10:16Speaker 1: fund your lifestyle. So by that, I mean it just
- 10:18Speaker 1: becomes income in your bank account that you can spend.
- 10:21Speaker 1: But on the flip side, you could reinvest those dividends
- 10:24Speaker 1: into your share portfolio, which is an option when you
- 10:27Speaker 1: invest and those dividends purchase you more shares, which ultimately
- 10:31Speaker 1: result in you having more shares and more income, which
- 10:34Speaker 1: is really sexy. A growth share, though, as I said before,
- 10:38Speaker 1: you're purchasing with the intention of it increasing significantly in
- 10:41Speaker 1: price because you believe in that company, or you believe
- 10:44Speaker 1: in the growth of that company and see a future
- 10:47Speaker 1: with them. Sometimes growth shares turn into dividend shares, so
- 10:51Speaker 1: a share might be relatively cheap on the ax and
- 10:53Speaker 1: then over time it significantly increases, and maybe for the
- 10:56Speaker 1: first ten years they don't pay a dividend, but then
- 10:58Speaker 1: they flip over to being like, oh my gosh, we're
- 11:00Speaker 1: so stable as a business. Now we're able to share
- 11:03Speaker 1: the profits with our shareholders, and as a shareholder, you'd
- 11:06Speaker 1: then get given your dividends, which is very exciting. I
- 11:10Speaker 1: suppose the differences there are quite obvious, But when it
- 11:13Speaker 1: comes to downfall, if you are closer to retirement, holding
- 11:18Speaker 1: growth shares might not be aligned to the value or
- 11:21Speaker 1: the strategy that you're trying to implement. Because when I'm retired,
- 11:24Speaker 1: g I want to have income, Like, it doesn't actually
- 11:27Speaker 1: matter what your share is worth if it's not making
- 11:30Speaker 1: you any money that you can spend and fund your
- 11:32Speaker 1: lifestyle with. So they have pros and cons on either side,
- 11:35Speaker 1: and I think it's more about your life stage. So
- 11:38Speaker 1: are you happy to invest in a growth share? If so,
- 11:41Speaker 1: what does that mean? Obviously with a growth share, if
- 11:44Speaker 1: you then decide to sell it, you will have capital
- 11:47Speaker 1: gains tax to pay. Just as an fyi for those
- 11:50Speaker 1: people who like trading shares on a short period of time,
- 11:54Speaker 1: if you buy a share and then sell it within
- 11:57Speaker 1: the same year, your tax is far higher than had
- 12:00Speaker 1: you held it for an entire year. And a lot
- 12:02Speaker 1: of people actually in our community even found themselves in
- 12:06Speaker 1: a little bit of a pickle because they either bought
- 12:08Speaker 1: after pay or they were buying things like bitcoin, and
- 12:10Speaker 1: they were buying assets that had significantly increased in value,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and they were like, oh my gosh, I got to
- 12:15Speaker 1: get out, Like I don't want to be invested in this.
- 12:18Speaker 1: They didn't think about their tax consequences sold it, whereas
- 12:21Speaker 1: if they'd held it for another three months or so,
- 12:24Speaker 1: they would have ended up with a whole heat more
- 12:25Speaker 1: profit because they didn't have to pay exorbitant tax rates.
- 12:29Speaker 1: So I think it's really important to know what that means.
- 12:32Speaker 1: And there was a really good quote actually by our
- 12:35Speaker 1: friend Warren Buffett, fancy guy man. He's arguably a growth investor.
- 12:39Speaker 1: He's probably the most famous growth investor in the entire
- 12:42Speaker 1: world because he purchases shares when they are significantly undervalued,
- 12:46Speaker 1: and then they blow out of the water. I don't
- 12:48Speaker 1: know what this guy does, whether he has a crystal
- 12:50Speaker 1: ball or whether he's just a wizard, but he is
- 12:54Speaker 1: arguably the only person in the entire world that I
- 12:57Speaker 1: have seen be able to time the market. If I
- 13:00Speaker 1: could do that, I've said on the pod before, G,
- 13:02Speaker 1: I'd be a really rich woman. You would. I can't,
- 13:04Speaker 1: so I have a different investing strategy than him. But
- 13:07Speaker 1: he actually said, if you weren't thinking about owning a
- 13:10Speaker 1: stock for ten years, you shouldn't even think about owning
- 13:13Speaker 1: it for ten minutes. And I think that's really powerful
- 13:16Speaker 1: here because I think too often. And we've had this
- 13:18Speaker 1: conversation G, between you and I and Ana Lisa offline
- 13:22Speaker 1: about how a lot of people think the way to
- 13:24Speaker 1: make money in shares is to kind of be flipping
- 13:26Speaker 1: them and buying them. When they increase in value, you
- 13:28Speaker 1: sell them and then you buy more. Like it doesn't
- 13:31Speaker 1: have to be that active. Yes, some share traders do that,
- 13:34Speaker 1: but I just really feel like if you're listening to
- 13:37Speaker 1: a shese on the Money podcast, you're probably not a
- 13:39Speaker 1: share trader, and neither am I. And just trust Warren Buffett. Yeah,
- 13:44Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if i'd trust him because
- 13:45Speaker 1: you know, it's.
- 13:46Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty three point five billion US dollars.
- 13:49Speaker 1: He's got a couple of dollar rues.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Do you just a coupler?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Do you know what? My favorite part about him is
- 13:53Speaker 1: though he's cute, little muff and face, Oh my gosh,
- 13:55Speaker 1: yes that, but have you looked at his house and
- 13:58Speaker 1: his car? Oh my gosh, house and cup house and car.
- 14:02Speaker 1: G google his house and car.
- 14:04Speaker 3: I don't know what to expect here live on the pod. Okay,
- 14:10Speaker 3: I was quite modest.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, he lives in the house he bought for his
- 14:13Speaker 1: wife before he even started being like a massive share trader.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Look, is he a cross that he is incredibly wealthy?
- 14:20Speaker 1: Yeah, he just doesn't see the value in purchasing that. No,
- 14:26Speaker 1: assets don't matter to this man, and I really respect that.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Like me, he is arguably one of the richest men
- 14:31Speaker 1: in the world. He has everything at his disposal. He
- 14:34Speaker 1: could buy mega mansions with his change. Yet he's like
- 14:39Speaker 1: the house my wife and I bought, like it does
- 14:41Speaker 1: the job?
- 14:42Speaker 3: Good on you, Warren, if you're listening. Should we move
- 14:44Speaker 3: on now to dividend investing? V talk us through the
- 14:47Speaker 3: pros and the cons there.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I love a good dividend share, and the reason I
- 14:50Speaker 1: do is because I love being paid to own things
- 14:52Speaker 1: Like how cool Like g if you earn that water bottle,
- 14:55Speaker 1: I give you twenty cents every year.
- 14:57Speaker 3: That's fun.
- 14:58Speaker 1: That's fun. Like that's what a shared. It's very very exciting.
- 15:01Speaker 1: But with dividend shares, you actually are a winner in
- 15:05Speaker 1: arguably two ways. I mean, you're a winner with growth
- 15:07Speaker 1: shares as well, So it's not to say one is
- 15:08Speaker 1: better than the other, but they both have underlyingly different strategies.
- 15:13Speaker 1: So when a share rise is in value and the
- 15:16Speaker 1: company cuts you a check, they're basically giving you a
- 15:18Speaker 1: portion of the profits. So they're saying, look, je, you've
- 15:21Speaker 1: owned this company and you're basically a mini company owner. Therefore,
- 15:25Speaker 1: any money that we make you get a percentage of.
- 15:28Speaker 1: So the better that company does in a financial year,
- 15:31Speaker 1: the better your dividend is going to look. But the
- 15:33Speaker 1: same is true if that company doesn't do well. So
- 15:36Speaker 1: if they don't turn a profit, you don't get a dividend.
- 15:38Speaker 1: So there's obviously a little bit of risk there when
- 15:40Speaker 1: you are purchasing these, But if the share price of
- 15:43Speaker 1: an individual stock decides to rise by let's say four percent,
- 15:47Speaker 1: and the company then pays you a three percent dividend
- 15:50Speaker 1: out you're going to pocket a seven percent profit minus taxes.
- 15:55Speaker 1: So for me, one of the main benefits is essentially
- 15:57Speaker 1: you securing a steady stream of income for yourself. So
- 16:01Speaker 1: it's not something that we can all afford to run
- 16:04Speaker 1: out and buy enough shares in a dividend company to
- 16:07Speaker 1: replace our incomes. That takes a long time. But the
- 16:10Speaker 1: benefit of the dividend share is that over time, when
- 16:14Speaker 1: you get paid a dividend when you are young, or
- 16:16Speaker 1: you are like me and you're not looking to make
- 16:18Speaker 1: money in the short term from your investment portfolio, I'm
- 16:22Speaker 1: doing that for future me. I reinvest all of my
- 16:24Speaker 1: money and the power of compounding interest is wild. So
- 16:28Speaker 1: say in the first year, you know, you get a
- 16:29Speaker 1: seven point five percent return g and you've got you know,
- 16:32Speaker 1: one thousand dollars in the market. You'll be like, well, V,
- 16:35Speaker 1: that's like not that much money in the grand scheme
- 16:38Speaker 1: of things, I can't retire. But over time, that seven
- 16:41Speaker 1: point five percent that your money made the previous year
- 16:44Speaker 1: is now going to make money the year after for you.
- 16:48Speaker 1: So the money that your money made is now making
- 16:50Speaker 1: you money. And if you then stretch that over a
- 16:53Speaker 1: period of like thirty plus years, that's a lot of
- 16:56Speaker 1: money and a lot of good return. And one of
- 16:59Speaker 1: my favorite exams, which if you've listened to this podcast before,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I do apologize, but I want it batted into your brains,
- 17:06Speaker 1: and that is if you're investing for a thirty year period.
- 17:09Speaker 1: So say you twenty one and you're like, you know what,
- 17:11Speaker 1: I really want to invest all the way up until retirement.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I'm going to do five hundred dollars a month, every
- 17:17Speaker 1: single month until I retire at sixty five. We're going
- 17:20Speaker 1: to have an average rate of return of seven and
- 17:22Speaker 1: a half percent over that period of time. Had you
- 17:25Speaker 1: saved that money, you'd have two hundred and forty thousand
- 17:29Speaker 1: dollars in your savings account, and you go, that's pretty sexy,
- 17:32Speaker 1: but g due to compounding interest. If you had put
- 17:36Speaker 1: that into the share market at that seven point five
- 17:39Speaker 1: percent return, you'd have one point two million dollars. So
- 17:42Speaker 1: you're basically making a million dollars by riding out the
- 17:46Speaker 1: investment journey for the long term, but also making use
- 17:50Speaker 1: of those dividends that are being paid to you to
- 17:52Speaker 1: reinvest them. So when I say, oh, it's the money
- 17:54Speaker 1: that your money makes, like that sounds small when it's
- 17:57Speaker 1: only a seven and a half percent return, because you go, well,
- 18:00Speaker 1: seven and a half percent on one thousand dollars a va,
- 18:02Speaker 1: that's not actually that much. But over time that obviously
- 18:05Speaker 1: grows into something that is so much bigger than what
- 18:08Speaker 1: a lot of us are able to comprehend. And I
- 18:11Speaker 1: say that not because I'm like, oh my god, you
- 18:13Speaker 1: don't get it. You totally get it, But as humans,
- 18:16Speaker 1: we are actually wired to think in a linear way,
- 18:20Speaker 1: so we go one plus one equals two, whereas compounding
- 18:25Speaker 1: interest is not linear. It is one plus one equals
- 18:28Speaker 1: three pretty much, and you kind of go, well, that
- 18:30Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. No comprehendo, not going to happen. So
- 18:33Speaker 1: I think we need to reframe the fact that a
- 18:36Speaker 1: lot of us like, oh, I don't get it. I'm
- 18:37Speaker 1: not smart to know investing is actually very hard for
- 18:41Speaker 1: the human brain to comprehend because we are actually wired
- 18:45Speaker 1: to just be very linear in the way that we think.
- 18:47Speaker 1: So that's why I think a lot of people are
- 18:49Speaker 1: overwhelmed by investing and overwhelmed by this conversation because it's
- 18:53Speaker 1: just not something we can comprehend. There is nothing else
- 18:56Speaker 1: in our life that works in the same way.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, as someone who still hasn't invested, I
- 19:01Speaker 3: think just remembering that exactly what you said there, if
- 19:04Speaker 3: you saved five hundred dollars, was five hundred a month?
- 19:06Speaker 1: Five hundred a month if you are twenty one all
- 19:09Speaker 1: the way until retirement, Yeah.
- 19:10Speaker 3: So would you rather two fifty k or one point
- 19:14Speaker 3: two mil? Exactly? I know where I'd rather be.
- 19:16Speaker 1: And the power of compounding interest over a long period
- 19:19Speaker 1: of time is honestly insane. So we're talking about five
- 19:22Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month, and if you're in the privileged
- 19:24Speaker 1: position of being able to save that or invest that,
- 19:27Speaker 1: that is fantastic. We are not saying everybody is. It
- 19:29Speaker 1: is just an example. But if you then jump a
- 19:33Speaker 1: couple of years in advance and go, all right, gee,
- 19:35Speaker 1: you haven't invested, that's totally okay. There's no such thing
- 19:38Speaker 1: as too late. But if you are forty and you
- 19:42Speaker 1: want to achieve the same outcome of that one point
- 19:44Speaker 1: two million dollar investment portfolio, you're going to have to
- 19:47Speaker 1: cough up about four thousand dollars a month to achieve
- 19:50Speaker 1: the same goal. That's insane. That's so much more money.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And to comprehend that, because I think a lot of
- 19:57Speaker 1: us are like, oh, well, I'll just invest when I
- 19:59Speaker 1: have money. Like, I'm not in the position where I
- 20:02Speaker 1: can compromise that at this point in my life. When
- 20:04Speaker 1: I'm older, i'll be rich. I'll have four grand a
- 20:07Speaker 1: month that I can put into anything. I'm sorry you
- 20:10Speaker 1: won't because you'll have more financial commitments, you'll have lifestyle creep,
- 20:14Speaker 1: unless you're Warren Buffett, because apparently he doesn't have any
- 20:17Speaker 1: form of lifestyle creep. But also, you're far more likely
- 20:20Speaker 1: to have financial responsibilities. You're far more likely to have
- 20:24Speaker 1: a mortgage that needs paying off, You're far more likely
- 20:26Speaker 1: to probably have car loans and stuff like that. And
- 20:28Speaker 1: also children. And I'm not saying that everybody's going to
- 20:31Speaker 1: have children and our journeys a cookie cutter, but I
- 20:34Speaker 1: think it's very common for that demographic of people to
- 20:37Speaker 1: have more financial commitments, and the amount of people I
- 20:39Speaker 1: sit down with and go hey, to achieve this goal,
- 20:42Speaker 1: we have to sacrifice significant amounts of money when you
- 20:46Speaker 1: could have just done that with five hundred bucks a month.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So even when you're forty, you're just investing that five
- 20:51Speaker 1: hundred bucks a month, and hopefully in a perfect world
- 20:53Speaker 1: you do have more disposable income so that five hundred
- 20:56Speaker 1: dollars a month becomes you know, one thousand dollars a
- 20:58Speaker 1: month or more, or you know, when you get birth
- 21:00Speaker 1: or Christmas or you know, bonuses from your job that
- 21:02Speaker 1: you're obviously going to be excelling at. You invest that,
- 21:06Speaker 1: and that one point two million dollar portfolio could be
- 21:08Speaker 1: more like four or five million dollars. Now we're token, yes, also,
- 21:12Speaker 1: but to add to that, because I know you're going
- 21:13Speaker 1: to try and like segue me into a break. Gee,
- 21:17Speaker 1: let's talk about why it's important to have a one
- 21:19Speaker 1: point two million dollar portfolio, because you go, great, I
- 21:21Speaker 1: get to that point and I've got one point two
- 21:23Speaker 1: million dollars invested. Thee do be spending it? No super yacht?
- 21:29Speaker 1: Onebuff it doesn't have one. You can have a super
- 21:31Speaker 1: yacht when he has he could have so many. I know,
- 21:33Speaker 1: he could be like the king of super yachts. Yet
- 21:35Speaker 1: he's choosing not to be. And that's real cool, is it?
- 21:38Speaker 1: I like it?
- 21:39Speaker 3: If I was warrant I'd tell you the things I'd
- 21:41Speaker 3: be doing.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what would you do? What would you do? First?
- 21:44Speaker 3: I'd buy a superhot man, get to the Mediterranean.
- 21:47Speaker 1: It's not happening. Also, I just feel like you're not
- 21:49Speaker 1: a yacht girl.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Well I don't think I've been on a yacht. I've
- 21:53Speaker 3: just seen that below deck show.
- 21:54Speaker 1: All right, No, no, no, that speaks to me. Yeah,
- 21:57Speaker 1: all right, I think we should go on a super yacht.
- 21:58Speaker 1: She's on the money tour around Australia, but on a yacht.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Stop it.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Let's hit up, let's show it up below deck and
- 22:04Speaker 1: ask them if they'll let us on their boat. Perfect,
- 22:07Speaker 1: But do you want meaning to answer the question?
- 22:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't even remember. Okay.
- 22:10Speaker 1: So the question, or the thing I was trying to
- 22:13Speaker 1: get across here, is that when you have a one
- 22:16Speaker 1: point two million dollar portfolio, we don't just start spending
- 22:19Speaker 1: that because hopefully we have dividend yielding stogs that are
- 22:23Speaker 1: paying us to own that, and a seven point five
- 22:26Speaker 1: percent return gee on a one point two million dollar
- 22:29Speaker 1: portfolio is about sixty thousand dollars a year. So what
- 22:32Speaker 1: you then have is an asset that is paying you
- 22:35Speaker 1: sixty grand a year just to exist. You don't have
- 22:38Speaker 1: to go to work, you don't have to sign time sheets,
- 22:40Speaker 1: you don't have to do anything except for what your
- 22:42Speaker 1: bank account grow. And I think that's really cool. But
- 22:45Speaker 1: it's also really important to set realistic goals in retirement.
- 22:48Speaker 1: So if you're like, oh, V like sixty grand's not
- 22:51Speaker 1: going to be enough, Okay, cool, Maybe you need more
- 22:52Speaker 1: than five hundred dollars a month, but it's all about
- 22:56Speaker 1: making sure that you know what that contribution is and
- 22:58Speaker 1: how that works, and then working backwards to achieve bloody brilliant.
- 23:01Speaker 3: I reckon, we'll leave it there, and I knew you
- 23:03Speaker 3: were going to take us to a break. On the
- 23:05Speaker 3: other side, we will be chatting through a little comparison
- 23:07Speaker 3: of the two and what gets you up, So we'll
- 23:10Speaker 3: see you on the other side. Straight back into it.
- 23:13Speaker 1: VD.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Now we've gotten the lowdown on both growth and dividend investing.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I just forgot there a little bit.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Can you actually here recap it? What's a growth share?
- 23:22Speaker 1: What's a dividends share?
- 23:24Speaker 3: A growth share is one that you hold on to
- 23:28Speaker 3: for the long hold, which let's be real, guys, let's
- 23:31Speaker 3: remember what Warren said you should be doing with most
- 23:33Speaker 3: of your shares. Yes with me, So that is growth,
- 23:36Speaker 3: and the idea there is that you get your growth
- 23:41Speaker 3: from the end when you sell it. That's how it works.
- 23:44Speaker 1: But I might also turn into a dividend chair correct, sexy.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Because that's what happens when the company makes enough money
- 23:51Speaker 3: to be able to pay its people. I love that, Yes,
- 23:55Speaker 3: and then dividends. Sure, they might not make you really rich,
- 24:00Speaker 3: but also maybe they will.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Because I will counting interest you king on tua.
- 24:05Speaker 3: They will, but they'll also pay you along the way.
- 24:07Speaker 3: So I feel like they're both good.
- 24:09Speaker 1: They're both very good options, and like one is not
- 24:11Speaker 1: necessarily better than the other, and they wouldn't want you
- 24:13Speaker 1: guys thinking that I'm in one column and not the other.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I think it's really important for you to understand why
- 24:19Speaker 1: you'd hold the different ones. But also recently I've seen
- 24:22Speaker 1: a bit of confusion because people are like, when do
- 24:24Speaker 1: I get paid my dividends? And I'm like, well, what
- 24:26Speaker 1: do you hold? And they're like, I bought all of
- 24:28Speaker 1: these shares of X company. I'm like, babe, they don't
- 24:31Speaker 1: pay your dividend. There isn't one coming. I'm sorry. So,
- 24:34Speaker 1: as someone who really wants to talk about investing deeply
- 24:36Speaker 1: with you, Like, I really think you deserve to know
- 24:39Speaker 1: that before you get into it, because there's so much
- 24:41Speaker 1: research to be done. But at the same time, these
- 24:44Speaker 1: are really easy points that you can learn along the way.
- 24:47Speaker 3: So return wise, though, what's the difference, what looks better
- 24:51Speaker 3: or does it really just depend on the.
- 24:53Speaker 1: It really depends on the individual. And to be honest,
- 24:55Speaker 1: I wouldn't ever, ever, ever recommend putting all your eggs
- 24:58Speaker 1: in one basket and just go, oh, well, I'm just
- 25:00Speaker 1: going to go buy NAB shares because Victoria mentioned a
- 25:03Speaker 1: NAB share one time, which is not a recommendation to
- 25:06Speaker 1: urchase on the podcast, Like, you wouldn't have any level
- 25:09Speaker 1: of diversification, like if you are going to buy individual shares,
- 25:13Speaker 1: which from my perspective, is a very risky way of
- 25:17Speaker 1: starting your investment journey because how are you diversified? How
- 25:20Speaker 1: are you educated enough to be making these big share
- 25:23Speaker 1: decisions that are usually reserved for fund managers. I would
- 25:27Speaker 1: be looking for something that really helps you get a
- 25:29Speaker 1: whole heap of diversification in the first place.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Okay, so if we do want to invest, then is
- 25:36Speaker 3: the best way to be as diverse as we can
- 25:39Speaker 3: incorporate some growth shares and some dividend shares. Is that
- 25:42Speaker 3: the way to do it.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, but also completely aligned to your values. Like
- 25:48Speaker 1: I have a number of incredibly conservative clients who are
- 25:52Speaker 1: only dividend shares. They will only buy tried, true, tested,
- 25:57Speaker 1: blue collar shares. They don't want ETFs, they don't want
- 25:59Speaker 1: any So I manage a direct portfolio of probably ten
- 26:03Speaker 1: to twelve shares on average that can fluctuate depending on
- 26:07Speaker 1: whether I've made the decision to sell down some of
- 26:09Speaker 1: their stock or buy something new to introduce it to
- 26:12Speaker 1: the portfolio. But they just want to hold direct shares,
- 26:15Speaker 1: and I totally get that. But the reason they want
- 26:17Speaker 1: that is they want to hold the West Farmers, the BHP,
- 26:19Speaker 1: they want some of the big banks. They want to
- 26:21Speaker 1: hold Woolies, they want to hold coals. Like they are
- 26:24Speaker 1: just buying very tried and true blue chip stocks, and
- 26:27Speaker 1: that is okay, that is absolutely fair. But the reason
- 26:30Speaker 1: they are doing that is because they're getting closer to
- 26:33Speaker 1: retirement and they are prioritizing income. But also they're just
- 26:37Speaker 1: a bit more conservative. Like at the end of the day,
- 26:39Speaker 1: at blue ship stock is not a growth stock. It
- 26:42Speaker 1: is not something that is going to skyrocket into being
- 26:45Speaker 1: the most successful share of the year, because at the
- 26:47Speaker 1: same time, as you know, after Pay increasing so significantly
- 26:51Speaker 1: in share price, a whole heap of other shares that
- 26:54Speaker 1: people bought at the same time as after Pay because
- 26:56Speaker 1: they saw the same value in them and they saw
- 26:58Speaker 1: the same potential plummeted. So I think it's important to
- 27:02Speaker 1: realize that investing is a journey, and that's why we
- 27:05Speaker 1: want to invest in a diversified portfolio, because if I
- 27:08Speaker 1: have to pay is returning, you know, sixty percent, and
- 27:11Speaker 1: then another share that you've bought actually completely plummeted, you're
- 27:15Speaker 1: going to end up with a pretty good average instead
- 27:17Speaker 1: of only being exposed to one of those percentages.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense. Obviously the market has been really
- 27:25Speaker 3: volatile of late. Would you say it, based on what
- 27:28Speaker 3: you just said, that this would affect gross investments more
- 27:31Speaker 3: than dividend because dividends may be a little safer.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Yes and no. So it really depends because obviously, if
- 27:38Speaker 1: a dividend share is decreasing in price and it's experiencing
- 27:42Speaker 1: the same volatility, they might not end up having the
- 27:44Speaker 1: same profits that they had the year before. So when
- 27:47Speaker 1: you look at the market as a whole, there's usually
- 27:49Speaker 1: some kind of trigger or reason why that volatility exists.
- 27:53Speaker 1: And volatility is essentially just how much the share price
- 27:56Speaker 1: increases and decreases over time. We know it goes up
- 27:58Speaker 1: and down. When a Panini happens, Georgia King and we
- 28:04Speaker 1: all are thrown into a bit of a storm that
- 28:06Speaker 1: we're not sure how to navigate. Most companies, on average
- 28:09Speaker 1: don't make as much profit as they were the year before,
- 28:12Speaker 1: so your dividend might be decreased. However, I was having
- 28:16Speaker 1: this really interesting conversation with someone the other day and
- 28:18Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, my shares have decreased significantly,
- 28:21Speaker 1: and I was said, yeah, but you're still going to
- 28:22Speaker 1: get paid really good dividends because they had really good
- 28:24Speaker 1: profits that year. So even if your share price decreases,
- 28:28Speaker 1: you still own the same amount of shares. So if
- 28:31Speaker 1: you bought ten shares in a bank and you bought
- 28:34Speaker 1: them for ten dollars a share, you've got one hundred
- 28:36Speaker 1: dollars as your investment portfolio, and maybe those shares they
- 28:40Speaker 1: pay you a ten cent dividend each and every single year,
- 28:42Speaker 1: and that's really exciting. But if those shares decrease in
- 28:47Speaker 1: value gene now they're worth fifty cents each in your portfolio.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, when you log into your platform and
- 28:52Speaker 1: have a look at it, you only have fifty bucks
- 28:54Speaker 1: worth of shares. You're actually still being paid the same
- 28:57Speaker 1: amount of dividends because you still have the same amount
- 28:59Speaker 1: of shares, So it's not as significant. Whereas if you're
- 29:02Speaker 1: buying a growth stock and then your portfolio has significantly
- 29:06Speaker 1: decreased in value over time, what else are you getting
- 29:09Speaker 1: out of this? Like no one's paying you any of
- 29:11Speaker 1: the profits, Like are they going to increase so that
- 29:13Speaker 1: you can make profit? Or has it gone below what
- 29:16Speaker 1: you originally purchased it for? But again, they make up
- 29:19Speaker 1: a really good part of a well diversified portfolio. Both
- 29:22Speaker 1: of them slightly off topic. But if you did have
- 29:26Speaker 1: a gross investment and it did fall below what you
- 29:28Speaker 1: paid for it, I feel like usually would be like
- 29:31Speaker 1: hold on right out that wave, Yes, of course, but
- 29:33Speaker 1: how do you know if you should or not? Like
- 29:36Speaker 1: that's the general advice. But what if it's just a
- 29:38Speaker 1: dodgy share and it's going downhill? Like, how do you
- 29:41Speaker 1: know that? As just a regular research and that's why
- 29:44Speaker 1: we're not punters in the share market. Georgia King. This
- 29:47Speaker 1: isn't a gamble. This is something that you would make
- 29:50Speaker 1: a very well and very educated decision on, and if
- 29:54Speaker 1: a share is going down, I don't want anybody to
- 29:57Speaker 1: ever be superactive. That's what created a lot of loss
- 30:00Speaker 1: during the GFC. So we're not saying that that's the
- 30:02Speaker 1: reason the GFC existed. But during the Global Financial Crisis,
- 30:06Speaker 1: a lot of people lost a lot of money because
- 30:09Speaker 1: they saw their share portfolios absolutely plummet, and they freaked
- 30:13Speaker 1: out and they were like, oh my gosh, I've got
- 30:14Speaker 1: to get my money out while it's still there. But
- 30:17Speaker 1: what they didn't think about was like, oh, I bought
- 30:19Speaker 1: those ten bank shares. I still own ten bank shares.
- 30:22Speaker 1: They're just valued at less today, and the value is
- 30:25Speaker 1: how much you would get if you sold them today.
- 30:28Speaker 1: So today you might only get fifty bucks. But if
- 30:30Speaker 1: we ride that wave out over time, we know on
- 30:33Speaker 1: average money should double every ten years. If it's not
- 30:36Speaker 1: a quote terrible stock and it's just the market being reactive,
- 30:40Speaker 1: then we should ride it out. But there is a
- 30:42Speaker 1: lot of research to be done into a share that
- 30:44Speaker 1: you go, oh, this hasn't been performing well for a while.
- 30:47Speaker 1: I'd be using some research from different investment houses and
- 30:50Speaker 1: having a look at potentially what we could do instead.
- 30:54Speaker 1: And sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and
- 30:56Speaker 1: go do what. This wasn't a good investment, I'm going
- 30:59Speaker 1: to sell this particular asset. So I might sell, you know,
- 31:02Speaker 1: this particular brand that I have bought and buy something
- 31:05Speaker 1: else to replace it in my portfolio. But if you
- 31:09Speaker 1: are being a good, well diversified investor, that's not your
- 31:13Speaker 1: entire wealth, that's not going to matter in the grand
- 31:16Speaker 1: scheme of things. You'll sell it down and be like, oh,
- 31:17Speaker 1: that was pretty terrible. They didn't have a good return.
- 31:20Speaker 1: But luckily all the other shares that I've got they
- 31:22Speaker 1: do have a good return, and I'm going to buy
- 31:24Speaker 1: something else. Over time is going to benefit me. And
- 31:26Speaker 1: that's why I'm so passionate about diversifying your investments and
- 31:30Speaker 1: not just going, yeah, they I own three different shares.
- 31:32Speaker 1: I'll be like, babe, that's not enough. Yeah, Like that
- 31:35Speaker 1: exposes you to if that company does really badly, like
- 31:39Speaker 1: you're going to feel that you're kind of putting a
- 31:41Speaker 1: buffer between yourself and the share market by having a
- 31:45Speaker 1: number of stocks. It's kind of like spreading it out
- 31:47Speaker 1: so they fall softly instead of all in a big lump.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Do you ever think about how blessed you are to
- 31:52Speaker 3: be you and just have all of this knowledge in
- 31:55Speaker 3: your brain? Obviously you worked really hard to like learn
- 31:57Speaker 3: to get bullied a lot at school. Yeah, but like
- 32:03Speaker 3: I can imagine everybody is cool now because I've put
- 32:05Speaker 3: a peachy brand on it. But like I just wish
- 32:09Speaker 3: I knew what I was doing as much as you did.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Like maybe if you listened to our podcast recording.
- 32:13Speaker 3: So now, sometimes let's round out this chat V by
- 32:18Speaker 3: quickly chatting about tax difference in I loved how how
- 32:22Speaker 3: they work with each.
- 32:23Speaker 1: A lot of people get really frustrated. They're like, oh
- 32:25Speaker 1: my god, I'm not going to win best because I'll
- 32:27Speaker 1: have to pay tax. Get girl, if you're paying tax,
- 32:30Speaker 1: do you know what that means? You made money? And
- 32:32Speaker 1: I think that we need to reframe how we view tax. Like, yes, absolutely,
- 32:37Speaker 1: you need to consider tax and what that means for
- 32:39Speaker 1: you and how that works. And as I said before,
- 32:41Speaker 1: there are different rules and regulations on you know, the
- 32:45Speaker 1: tax rates for different holding periods, i e. If you
- 32:48Speaker 1: hold a share for less than twelve months and then
- 32:51Speaker 1: sell it and you've made a good profit. You're gonna
- 32:53Speaker 1: have to pay more tax on it then if you
- 32:54Speaker 1: held it for more than a year, so I think
- 32:56Speaker 1: it's important to understand that. But then also, you're going
- 32:59Speaker 1: to be taxed at your marginal tax rate if you
- 33:02Speaker 1: hold those shares individually in your own name, So ge
- 33:05Speaker 1: whatever tax you're paying now, that's the amount of tax
- 33:08Speaker 1: you'll pay on the profits of your share portfolio, which
- 33:11Speaker 1: is very exciting. But the other thing that I think
- 33:14Speaker 1: is really sexy when it comes to tax, and I'm
- 33:16Speaker 1: not an accountant, so that's why I'm not giving you
- 33:18Speaker 1: specific advice on what to do and what not to do.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Only you can work that out. But the other sexy
- 33:24Speaker 1: thing g franking credits, h our old friends, our old friends,
- 33:28Speaker 1: franking credits and so essentially franking credits are sexy. And
- 33:33Speaker 1: a lot of you already have shares in your superanuation
- 33:36Speaker 1: funds that are franked, and that's very exciting. But the
- 33:39Speaker 1: benefit of frank shares is essentially when a dividing gets
- 33:42Speaker 1: paid out of the profits that have already been subjected
- 33:45Speaker 1: to tax, right, so that business has already paid their
- 33:48Speaker 1: thirty percent tax rate. You get a little credit. It's
- 33:51Speaker 1: like a little sticky note that comes on top of
- 33:53Speaker 1: the share. So when the tax offer see it, they go,
- 33:56Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this share that she's made some money
- 33:58Speaker 1: on has a little sticky note on it. And that's
- 34:00Speaker 1: a franking credit. And that means that shareholders can actually
- 34:04Speaker 1: get a rebate for the tax that was paid by
- 34:06Speaker 1: the company on the profits that were distributed as dividends.
- 34:10Speaker 1: That was a mouthful, it was. It was pretty impressive though.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for coming to my ted talk.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Loved it.
- 34:16Speaker 1: But essentially that means that you kind of get a refund.
- 34:19Speaker 1: So you're paying less tax because the company's already paid
- 34:23Speaker 1: thirty percent of it. So that's a bit of a
- 34:24Speaker 1: money win. And you're entitled to receive a credit for
- 34:28Speaker 1: any tax the company's paid for you, which I really
- 34:31Speaker 1: really like. And if your top tax rate is less
- 34:34Speaker 1: than the company's tax rate, which a lot of us
- 34:36Speaker 1: would be, so a lot of you won't be paying
- 34:39Speaker 1: more than thirty percent in tax, you actually get a
- 34:42Speaker 1: refund from the ATO. That's really nice and that's more
- 34:45Speaker 1: money in your back pocket and the benefit of that
- 34:48Speaker 1: and the reason why I'm talking about this is not
- 34:50Speaker 1: because it's super sexy in the individual shares you're buying,
- 34:53Speaker 1: but because it's super sexy in your superannuation portfolio. And
- 34:56Speaker 1: guin why I say that, Because the tax rate in
- 34:59Speaker 1: your super portfolio is fifteen percent?
- 35:02Speaker 3: That's right?
- 35:03Speaker 1: And gee, how much tax? Did we just say that
- 35:05Speaker 1: the company paid thirty So what's thirty minus fifteen? It's half,
- 35:10Speaker 1: So you get fifteen percent back, which makes those shares
- 35:14Speaker 1: even if your dividend was absolutely tiny, that's automatically a
- 35:18Speaker 1: return of fifteen percent money week. Okay, that's very sexy.
- 35:23Speaker 1: But yes, there are always going to be tax questions
- 35:25Speaker 1: that we need to address, but I think the most
- 35:27Speaker 1: important thing here is just to be aware of them
- 35:29Speaker 1: and not be evasive of them. Because if you're paying tax,
- 35:31Speaker 1: my friend, it means that you're making money, and that's
- 35:33Speaker 1: exactly what we plan to do with investing.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that is probably the perfect place to
- 35:38Speaker 3: leave it today.
- 35:39Speaker 1: V Well, thank you for coming to my TED Talk
