Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast season 9 episode 8 here we go. This is the podcast dedicated to helping you put your finances in order.

My name is Pete Matthew and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know and

everything you need to do to secure your financial future. I'm here to help you make

sense of money. You know every time I do that intro I'm moving around and pointing and nobody really. I'm just pointing at my computer screen as I read it, but you know, I want you to sort of understand the passion that I put into this show.

Welcome to the 250th session of the Meaningful Money Podcast.

I made a bit of a splash about session 100 and again

about session 200 so I'm going to like this one pass without too much comment

except to say thank you to everybody listening that's that's you whether it's your

first taste of this show or whether you've listened to every one of them,

as I know many of you have, because you email me and tell me.

Thank you so much for listening and supporting the show.

250 episodes.

Most don't make it past episode 7 I'm told so

I think we've comprehensively thrashed that. So one of the burning questions that

you lovely people leveled at me in the 2017 listener survey was you know when is the

good news of stock market's gonna end you know it's been great for quite a few

years when is it all going to go south because it will want it well there's only

one man that can help me answer that question I say that's not true there's lots of

people but there's only one person that I wanted to help me answer that

question so I'm going to be chatting to him,

I'll remind you who in a minute,

after I've had a chat with my star guest today.
