Ever been blindsided by a takeover offer and felt lost in a sea of unfamiliar takeover jargon? In this episode, we dive deep into the murky waters of mergers acquisitions and takeovers and the impact on shareholders with the return of Tony Kynaston from QAV investing. Tony sheds light on what it really means when a company catches the eye of potential buyers and how small investors can navigate their decisions. We discuss the nuances of schemes of arrangements to the strategies behind hostile bids and the complexity of corporate maneuvers. We focus on two companies - APM Human Services International Limited (ASX:APM) an Australia-based health and human services provider, and Austal Limited (ASX:ABS) is a global shipbuilder and defence prime contractor. Both of these companies are in takeover targets, and they make good examples for understanding the dynamics involved.

Retirement planning is not one-size-fits-all. In this episode, I'm joined by Rebecca Wilson, author of the bestselling book How to Have an Epic Retirement, and host of the Primetime podcast. Rebecca shares her expertise on preparing for retirement, both financially and emotionally, and discusses the six pillars of an epic retirement.

Rebecca emphasizes that retirement is a transition that should be approached with a well-rounded perspective. She likens the anticipation of retirement to the period before having a first child—exciting yet filled with unknowns. By understanding and preparing for these changes, individuals can navigate their retirement years with confidence and joy.

This is Bec's Linktree to find out about all things Epic.

In our latest podcast episode, we delve deep into the intricate world of inflation and government spending with Gary Brode from Deep Knowledge Investing. As an investor, understanding these economic elements is crucial for making informed decisions in today's fast-paced financial landscape.

Inflation is a term that's often thrown around, but what does it really mean? Gary Brode challenges the mainstream narratives that blame inflation on supply chain issues or corporate greed. Instead, he directs the blame squarely at those who control the money supply.
