More analysis

Dear investor,

I’m blessed that the Rask network has ballooned to over 200,000 passionate investors. It’s truly amazing. Thank you.

Part of that means I often get invited to my fair share of ‘finance gigs’.

To almost all of them I say ‘no, thank you.’

However, there are few things closer to my finance heart than getting more women into investing.

Not only are women, on average, better investors (we’re up against it, fellas). Women are also dramatically under-represented in investing roles (which I’d like to change!).

That’s just one of the reasons why I LOVE the Ladies Finance Club events, run by Molly Benjamin. They’re fun. Easy going. Everyone is accepted (men too!).

And everyone has a great night learning about budgeting, Super, investing, property and much more. This year, there are just two meetups…

But here’s why I’m telling you: I’ve been given permission to promote the final 10 tickets to this Thursday night’s event in Melbourne CBD – simply use the coupon code “rask” to save 10% (tickets are just $35).

Come to Melbourne CBD this Thursday night and not only will you and I get a chance to catch up for a pre Chrissy drink, you’ll also meet a community of like-minded people… with a 4 benefits…

Kate and I are giving everyone who walks through the door a copy of Kate’s new book, Buying Happiness.

Plus, the 10 people who use the ‘Rask‘ code at checkout get a copy of Strong Money, by Dave Gow, and a copy of Ana Kresina’s new book Kids Ain’t Cheap.

Finally, you’ll also get a free Rask beanie for those… cold summer nights!

Talk about value.

And how about if you’re in Perth, Queensland, or anywhere else?

Well, right now, you can join Ladies Finance Club’s Diamond Program for 20% off! Just in time for Christmas. You can get a pass for yourself, a partner or friend.

Click here to join us in Melbourne on Thursday night (10 tickets only) or click here to join LFC at a 20% discount (use coupon code “Rask” at checkout).

(Psst. I’m not paid to promote LFC – I just like giving you discounted finance stuff – like the 50% off “raskxmas” coupon code to use on Major Street Publishing personal finance and business books.)

Rask LIVE tomorrow at 12: how the ETF did we get here?

Finally, tomorrow at 12 noon, I’ll be going LIVE with Betashares’ Tom Wickenden for 60 minutes of non-stop ETF investing.

We’ll talk about the rise and rise and rise of ETFs in Australia, how to use index ETFs, thematics, fixed income ETFs and so much more.

In my opinion, Tom has one of the best investment education minds in the country. His slides are also A+.

Simply click here to tune in and talk about ETFs with Tom and myself. And bring your questions.

We have only 3 Rask LIVE sessions left for 2023! Don’t miss out.

All you have to do is arrive at this YouTube link at 12pm to join Tom and I LIVE (or watch it back on replay anytime you like).

Rask LIVE is brought to you by Selfwealth.
