The Curve

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Markets are back, headlines are chaotic, and somehow Donald Trump is still moving investor sentiment with a sentence and a spray tan. Vic and Sophie unpack what’s going on, one year after the tariffs shook everyone up, and why short-term market drama can make investing feel a bit too much like gambling. They also dig into the spectacular collapse of Allbirds, from sustainability darling to a 99% wipeout, and the very real lesson in “diworsification” when a brand strays too far from what made it work in the first place. Plus, the upcoming SpaceX IPO that could become one of the biggest companies in the world overnight, why fitness tracker brand Whoop is booming, what the wearable tech space says about where health investing is headed, and why the most boring investing strategy is still annoyingly one of the best.🗳️ CAST YOUR VOTE (https://form.typeform.com/to/FRD3BIcS) on our new episode schedule and help us decide what works best for you: https://form.typeform.com/to/FRD3BIcS WTF does that mean?

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Silver had been quietly minding its business… and then suddenly decided to go absolutely bananas…This week on The Curve Weekly, Soph’s joined by a very special guest filling in for Vic: chartered accountant + finance creator  Abi Foster (https://www.instagram.com/abigailrosefoster/) (aka that finance girl with the hair), and together they’re breaking down what’s actually driving silver’s surge, why geopolitical chaos tends to send people stampeding toward “safe” assets, and how rising silver prices could make everyday things like AI tech and solar panels more expensive. Plus: Netflix is having a wobble (down ~40% 👀), but is it truly flopping, or just behaving like the world’s biggest startup while it tries to keep up with YouTube and the chaos of modern attention spans? And then, as all good finance chats do, we take a slightly-too-relatable detour into the loneliness epidemic (apparently costing US businesses $154 BILLION a year??), with a side of that Diary of a CEO episode discourse, friendship-as-therapy, and tiny habits that make life feel less like an emotional buffering screen.Abi's links:The Money Manual BookInstagramTikTokYouTubeWTF does that mean?

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Before we get into the absolute avalanche of finance and investing news, Soph cracks open a margarita for moral support and the girls have a quick catch-up on nerves, public speaking and… boyfriends. Then it’s straight into the investing news: are billionaires selling shares actually a market crash warning, or just rich people doing rich people things? They break down Buffett’s cash pile, founder stock sales, and the ethics of investing in companies whose leaders are getting a bit too cosy with politics. Plus: the Australian Open pay dispute, China’s record trade surplus and what it could mean for global trade, and a quick check-in on luxury stocks. We also introduce our new “techspert” segment with Nat, explaining the tech behind major events and why AI research (especially China’s) is a bigger deal than most people realise.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟It’s the final Curve Weekly of the year and yes, we somehow open with eggs, sleep, and the pillow-fort Sophie made last night on her sleepover. But once we snap out of the delirium, we’re diving into a wild week in finance: Warner Brothers is officially the belle of the ball with Netflix and Paramount clawing for it’s attention (hostile bids, political puppeteering, billion-dollar drama - it's basically Succession but with more streaming). Then we chat about the world’s biggest ice-cream brand going public, yep, Magnum is now a standalone stock, though the whole “health and wellness trend meets frozen sugar block” debate gets very real. Nvidia’s China green light is finally confirmed, bringing in billions (and maybe some legally questionable tax mechanics). And to close out 2025? The best global news for women we’ve seen all year: India has started compensating women for unpaid domestic labour. No strings attached. No forms.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟This week, we unpack a surprisingly juicy mix of money, markets and the evolving media world, starting with Netflix’s huge move on Warner Bros and what it tells us about how content, power and profit are shifting in real time. They look at Australia’s under-16 social media ban and the ripple effects it could have on everything from advertising economics to how young people connect, plus Pinterest’s unexpected rise as the “healthy” corner of the internet and why that actually matters for investors. From there it’s a whirlwind tour through the rest of the week’s financial drama: Prada snapping up Versace at a discount, global companies lining up to challenge Trump’s tariffs, and the wild new frontier of GLP-1 drugs making their way into the pet market (Ozempets… truly). With a sprinkle of Spotify Wrapped chaos, a dash of dating-life overshare, and a sneak peek of our upcoming chat with Gen Z investing whiz Mia McGrath, this episode delivers plenty of laughs but also some big-picture takeaways about where power, money and consumer behaviour are heading.Sign the petition! https://b416.co.nz/WTF does that mean?

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟The Economist recently dropped an article called The Cost of Dating Your Boss, and naturally we had to dive into the juicy numbers: from why dating upwards can boost your salary to why the breakup can cost you big time. But before we get into workplace romance economics, there’s plenty more on the agenda: Nvidia’s highly anticipated result and what it means for the AI hype cycle, Warren Buffett suddenly going off-brand and splashing billions on Google, the world’s first Hermès handbag hedge fund (finally, an investment we can emotionally justify), and the UK’s ticket-resale ban that’s already hammering StubHub and Viagogo. And of course, we still manage to squeeze in Vic’s birthday celebrations, a wildly unhinged clothing haul confession, and even a surprise call from a listener on the Curve Hotline. Buckle up, it’s a big week and we cover a lot.Episodes mentioned in this podcast:The art of making money from handbags, with Meg Randell: https://youtu.be/5E3KEAxbUj0?si=MtHwZn9JtjtAZXudGoogle’s Chief Technologist on the Future We’re All Heading Toward: https://youtu.be/kQ3dKKSFbWI?si=S0lZb-pndYtqrmQZWTF does that mean?

This week’s Curve Weekly starts with Soph’s financial dilemma of the month - a perfect storm of overspending, £5 left in the bank, and a 4% phone battery in Mayfair. Then, just as we got rolling, Vic’s mic cut out (classic), so yes… this is take two. Once the tech drama settled, Vic breaks down why the market is down 2%, what’s spooking investors, and how the AI bubble ties into it. We also dive into that viral “Did women ruin the workplace?” headline and unpack why the real problem is a system that was never built for women to thrive. Then it’s onto Trump threatening to sue the BBC for $1B - what happened, why it matters, and why the media world is slightly sweating. And finally, we look at what Brits are really using ChatGPT for… and let’s just say the answer might surprise you.WTF does that mean?

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Warren Buffett (aka the GOAT of investing) is sitting on a jaw-dropping $382 billion in cash. Yep, the man who literally buys companies is taking a breather, and Vic breaks down what that means for the rest of us (hint: things might be a tad overpriced). We also chat about bitcoin’s big dip (Soph’s thrilled), why AMD’s results weren’t enough to keep investors happy, and how gold’s having its main-character moment again. Plus, we celebrate the UK finally adding financial literacy to the school curriculum (goodbye, recorder lessons), unpack the mass Kiwi move to Australia, and somehow veer into royal neighbours, countryside dreams, and near-misses with Lorde.WTF does that mean?

🎃 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🎃Happy Halloween from the trading floor (aka our studio) where Steven and Victor break down this week’s AI mayhem. We chat the $5T milestone and what chip demand really means, why a certain chatbot’s rumored mega-IPO could suck oxygen (and cash) from the room, PayPal’s new ChatGPT checkout moment, and earnings tea from Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta. Big takeaway: excitement is high, portfolios can quietly get AI-heavy, and rebalancing is your best friend: S&P 500 girlies, you’re already getting plenty of exposure. It’s educational, a little unhinged, and very watchable.WTF Does That Mean? A Guide to All the Jargony Bits:AI Boom - Everyone’s losing it over artificial intelligence.Chips - The brain of AI.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Why are fashion giants breaking up with beauty? This week, we dig into Kering’s $4B “it’s not you, it’s me” moment as it sells its beauty division to L’Oréal - and what that says about the state of luxury right now. Then we jump from catwalks to Korean skincare as Kylie Jenner’s casual TikTok shout-out turns a niche LED mask brand into a $6B sensation (seriously, one post!). There’s also gold’s not-so-glam fall (its biggest drop in a decade) and the return of meme-stock madness with Beyond Meat’s wild week on Wall Street. Plus, a sisterly lesson in latte logic, and a PSA on scams that proves: even the smartest among us can get duped.🎧 Listen to our latest episode on Gold🎧 ⁠Listen to our episode with Tracy HallCreditsHosts: Victoria Harris & Sophie HallwrightProducer & Editor: Emily RigbySocial & Digital Manager: Lucy MunroLeave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️⁠⁠For more from The Curve:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Investing Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠Chapters0:00 – Coming up…1:03 – Catch up & financial check-in4:50 – Gold takes a tumble11:48 – Beauty’s big breakup20:17 – The return of the meme stock29:32 – Warner Bros for sale?!33:52 – Soph’s bonus story39:12 – Before we go…40:20 – Thanks for listening!40:58 – Financial disclaimerDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.

⁠🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟⁠LVMH just put the champagne back on ice (in a good way) with a monster jump that hints luxury is officially out of its slump (handbags up, spirits high, clutches… still impractical). In other news, the US-China tariff tit-for-tat that spooked markets, pushed safe-haven gold even shinier, and could make your next smartphone pricier. Vic explains why volatility can be a sneaky gift for long-term investors, Strava is stretching for an IPO (run clubs, assemble), and the UK is eyeing a trim to cash ISAs to nudge more of us into investing -smart if you diversify, smarter if you don’t blindly go all-in on the FTSE.
