Investing For Kids, The Fed & Why Stocks Are going WILD!

Playing FTSE

► Episode Notes:

How long is it safe to keep prepared formula in the fridge for? Don’t find out the answer on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

Steve and Steve are back, after a couple of weeks of pre-recorded stuff! They’re talking about the latest news from central banks, accounts for children, and their own portfolios.

After a fortnight away, the Steves have plenty to catch up with in their portfolios. Who’s been outperforming as optimism about interest rates starts to set in?

Then it’s on to what we’ve been consuming. Steve D has been using his paternity leave to do some reading and Steve W has been saying farewell to an investing legend.

The real reason stock prices have been surging lately is news from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England. One is forecasting a cut in rates and the other isn’t, but are the Steves buying it?

And we’re ending this week with another viewer question. Now that Steve D is a dad, what’s he planning on doing to manage money for his daughter (as if he isn’t already doing it…)?
