Q+A: Is there a stockmarket bubble?

The last seven days has been quite incredible in asset markets. We have Wall Street and the ASX200 trading near a record level, gold and Bitcoin and even Pokemon cards hitting an all-time high.

The information in this episode is general in nature, and doesn’t take into account your own circumstances. You should do your own research and seek professional advice before making investment decisions.
