Why the share market has hit pause, and how you can make money from it

<p><strong>Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s why ETF trading is down, and what it means for your strategy. Hosted by Frances Cook.</strong></p> <p>After a couple of years of hype and covid boredom, it looks like the shares investing scene is crashing back to earth. <br>Figures from the NZX show New Zealand ETF trading down about 75% in the last year, aka, investors aren’t buying and selling as many of those Exchange Traded Funds. <br>There are a few things that could be feeding this trend, and I suspect higher interest rates and a higher cost of living are part of it. <br>We’ll get into those as part of the discussion today. <br>But another factor is that if other investors aren’t so keen on shares right now, does this mean there’s an opportunity for the investors who stay in the game? <br>Quite possibly. <br>For the latest podcast I talked to Dean Anderson founder and CEO of Kernel.</p> <p>If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.</p> <p>I'm on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FrancesCookNZ/">Facebook here</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/francescooknz/">Instagram her</a>e, and <a href="https://twitter.com/FrancesCook">Twitter here</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
