Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

What's really standing between you and consistent investment success? Spoiler: it's not your strategy, it's your mindset. In this episode, Andrew and Mitch dive deep into the psychology of stock market performance, unpacking the mental traps that quietly derail even the most promising investors.

From emotional discipline and cognitive biases to overconfidence and fear-driven decision-making, Andrew breaks down the major psychological pinch points that hold traders back, and more importantly, how to overcome them. You'll learn why consistency and belief in your process matter far more than chasing the next hot indicator, and why the shortest distance between success and failure is the few centimetres between your ears.

Andrew shares real client stories and hard-won lessons from his own career, including a standout example of a disciplined investor who banked over 33% returns simply by following a structured plan and keeping emotions out of the equation. The episode also explores how to match your investment strategy to your personal mindset and time horizon, and why mixing long-term and short-term thinking can be a costly mistake.

If you've ever let a bad morning bleed into a poor trading decision, or second-guessed a solid plan in the heat of the moment, this episode on the psychology of stock market success was made for you.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

In this episode, we break down the Biggest Money Mistakes people make in their 20s and 30s and how these early decisions can quietly cost you years of wealth. From delaying investing to overspending just to keep up appearances, these habits can set the tone for your long-term financial position.

One of the Biggest Money Mistakes is not starting early enough. Time plays a major role in building wealth, and even small, consistent investments can grow into significant amounts over decades. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to catch up. We also unpack why focusing only on income, instead of building assets, can limit your financial progress.

This conversation highlights the difference between earning money and creating wealth. It also touches on behavioural patterns, including lifestyle spending and the pressure to stay relevant, which often leads to poor financial decisions.

If you are in your 20s or 30s, or even beyond, understanding these Biggest Money Mistakes can help you shift your approach and take control of your financial future.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

In this episode, we break down Interest Rates in 2026 and the growing divide between Australia and the United States. With inflation still pushing higher locally and policy decisions falling behind the curve, Australia faces a very different path compared to a US economy that may soon move towards rate cuts.

Andrew and Mitch unpack what is really driving Interest Rates in 2026, from government spending and private sector demand to energy costs and central bank timing. The conversation highlights how rising rates continue to place pressure on households, while also shaping opportunities across equities, bonds, and commodities.

You will also gain insight into how global factors like oil prices, tariffs, and currency movements are influencing inflation and market direction. More importantly, this episode focuses on how to think about positioning your portfolio as conditions shift, rather than reacting to headlines.

Interest Rates in 2026 are not just about policy changes. They reflect deeper structural issues and create clear winners and losers across the market.

If you want to stay ahead of what is driving markets right now and make informed decisions with confidence, this episode is for you.
