The Australian Investors Podcast, Australia’s best investing podcast for professionals and private investors, is back for “2 sense”, hosted by investment analyst Owen Rask and financial planner Drew Meredith, CFP (AKA Andrew Deremith). Join 50,000+ investors who listen regularly.
This week’s winner
of our ‘best questioner name’ is “Cathie, Tell Me a Bed Time Story” who asked about Cathie Wood’s $2,000 price target on Tesla.
This week, Drew and Owen question the rise and rise of NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), take a look at Universal Store’s (ASX: UNI) results, and answer questions like ‘is 50 too old to start investing?’ and ‘What’s up with Cathie Wood’s $2,000 price target on Tesla?’
Just so you know, a $2,000 price target would make Tesla a $6 TRILLION dollar company. Crazy? Maybe. But maybe not so fast…

Here are some of the investing questions we attempted to cover
| Billy Bin Juice | I’m 52 years old and have never thought about investing until now. I haven’t got much money but could could definitely stop buying a few cups of coffee to use for investing. I could invest about $100 per month! Is it too late for me to set up retirement no later than 60, by investing now. I have a couple of super schemes, an Australian one and a uk one, which have been paid into for all of my working life, bar a few years. But I don’t think it would be quite enough to be comfortable. So I’m hoping to use investments as a additional income. I have invested about $1k so far. $500 on an EFT (VDHG) and the rest across a couple of different companies. I love tech so I researched a few and went with: NVDA, ALB for lithium mining and AI (C3.ai). Thanks in advance and I listen to all your podcasts. Good work |
| Cathie, Tell Me a Bed Time Story 🏆 | What are your thoughts on ARK Invest’s $2,000 price target for Tesla in 2027.
Note: I did not fat finger an extra zero. |
| Hausel of Cards. Starring Andrew Derrimuth | I have a house deposit 80K with a goal of 100K+ that I don’t trust myself with, a small investment portfolio c.20K. What is the best way to make the deposit untouchable, grow it with ongoing deposits and also put the funds inside it to build and compound. |
| VAS-ectomy | I’ve recently started investing in VAS and VGS, however, I’ve just seen BGBL has been released by Betashares as a competitor to VGS with lower fees. What are the main differences between these VGS and BGBL and would it be worth changing to A200/BGBL if I’ve only started executing my strategy to leverage lower fees? |
| Snout In The Trough | Gday finance bros and Andrew.
I’ve been investing since late 2019 (what a ride). I find my value snout quivering at the current price of Elders. Seems like it’s the sort of stock that’s perennially impacted by seasonal shite, which means it can also occasionally appear on sale if you can find the courage to pluck it out the mire with a longer term view. Wondering what your thoughts are, broski’s? Stick the snout in the trough or look elsewhere? (in a non-personal-advice-kinda-way) |
| captain corelli’s mandolin credit crunch! | Hey chaps, Vanguards (VTIP) Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities, I get that it invests in US treasury bonds, what is the advantages of this ETF over say Vanguards (VGB) Australian government bond ETF? Would you hold both? Or is that overkill in a portfolio? Are US bonds a ‘safer place’ than Australian government bonds? Thanks keep up the great podcast. |
| Long as Donkey Kong | Gday gents,
Considering the interest rate on PPOR these days, and assuming one has an Offset account attached. Is there an argument to be made for Bonds within an investment portfolio OR is the offset account allocation enough to justify as defensive asset allocation? Cheers |
| Biden my time. | I’ve got a position in a youth fashion brand (UNI.ASX) that seems to be suffering from the old price speculation virus (IMHO). I look at a variety of factors both statistical (youth unemployment rate) and anecdotally (music events selling out, restaurants being hard to book in capitol cities) to help calm my panic sell button. What are some other sources investors can look too to guestimate the stability of an industry in-between reporting seasons. |
| I Drew a Merrydeath | I’ve been looking at investment bonds as a long term investment. Can you explain what they actaully are, and the pros and cons of them? |
| The Ghost of portfolio’s past | If a person had opted in for a DRP and decided after the ex-div date they wanted the cash instead. When would they need to opt-out of the DRP? Is it the ex-div date or a few days before payment…..? |
| Andependent Investor | Hi Aussie Investors,
As someone new to investing, I really appreciate your podcast and the way you both explain and answer questions. Mine is about choosing ETFs. I know it depends on an individual’s goals, portfolio, and personal preferences, but when there are so many out there with similar returns, fees, and exposure, how would you recommend someone starting out could approach choosing two or three to invest in long-term? Would you also consider your exposure within your super fund when deciding on where or what ETF you invest in? |
