Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired on Friday 8 March 2024 with Leon Delaney. This week’s show considers investing in the current environment - how to invest when there are strong markets and record prices. The show encourages listeners to consider investing new money when the share market is rallying like it is right now. Thanks for joining us on 2CC or your favourite podcast streaming service.

- Remember, when you’re not invested, your not receiving investment dividends or returns
- Fundamentally, you need to think about why you’re investing it before you make any investment
