This week, Vic’s flying out, Soph’s dancing like Derulo and Wendy’s thrown a big cheesy spanner in the works. We look at the burger surge, the backlash and if the fast-food icon is being wildly arrogant or weirdly clever. And with so many big names selling stocks and hoarding cash (we’re looking at you Buffett, Bezos and Zuckerberg), there’s an air of uncertainty rippling through the finance world – so should we be fearful and careful, or is it time to get greedy? Plus, we’ve got hot tips, epic songs and a couple of shit finance quotes. Big week, people!

TCW88: Why LVMH is still the king of luxury.

Welcome to Raising The Curve

Introduction

My boss made me split the £90 dinner bill

He made me split the bill on our first date

I paid for our house, now my ex wants half

Introducing... Curveballs, our brand-new segment where we dive into the weird, awkward, and downright cringy money moments you’ve sent in. Whether it’s splitting the bill on a disastrous first date, getting stuck with the tab at a work dinner your boss insisted on, or accidentally blowing your budget on impulse buys, we’re here to help you navigate these curveball moments with expert advice from Dr. Lurve - Australia’s leading relationship expert and modern-day cupid.

Today, we’re tackling some truly juicy curveballs: a boss who suggests splitting a £90 bill after inviting their employee to a fancy dinner, and a first date disaster where splitting the pizza bill leaves someone questioning if they’re financially compatible.

RTC136: "My boss asked me to dinner but made me split the bill..."

Meet Sheenagh, today’s guest co-host!

Nvidia, Dell & big CEO stock sell-offs

AI meets investing

Coles & Woolworths caught in pricing scandal

NZ orders public servants back to the office

Nike’s CEO Exit

China’s stimulus impact on global stocks

Financial feelings

With Soph soaking up the sun in Croatia, the lovely Sheenagh takes the co-host seat for this episode, bringing her sharp financial insights and charm...

Why are some of the world’s biggest CEOs - like those at Nvidia, Dell, and even Berkshire Hathaway’s top dogs - selling off massive chunks of stock? Today, we dig into the reasons behind these surprising moves and what it could mean for the future of the market. Spoiler: it’s got investors raising eyebrows. We're also looking at the rise of AI in the finance world. Imagine an investment fund powered by ChatGPT, designed to replicate Warren Buffett’s legendary portfolio - sounds wild, right? But it’s happening, and it’s shaking up how we think about investing. Meanwhile, over in China, a new 'stimulus package' is kicking things into gear with lower interest rates and a $30 billion stock-buying spree, which has luxury brands like Tesla and Apple quietly celebrating. Plus, down under in Australia, Coles and Woolworths have been busted for dodgy discounts, and it’s all thanks to the humble Caramello Koala.
