ASX's best start since 2013, is Boeing a buy after 40% drop & Pimp my Portfolio with Adam Dawes

Don't look now, but the Aussie stock market is breaking records. The first quarter of the 2025 financial year (i.e. July to September) was the best opening quarter since 2013. And that is despite plenty of negative headlines (never forget News.com.au's "horror global bloodbath" from the start of August).Just another reminder that timing the market is nigh on impossible. That's why we love a consistent, automated approach that invests regularly in the market on up-days and down-days.Enough about our investing philosophy, because we're covering a lot in this episode of Equity Mates:The Aussie stocks that led the charge this quarter (how about Zip up 94%!)Australia has delivered a budget surplus for the second consecutive year Koala Airlines is trying to go where Rex and Bonza failedMr Beat Up joins us on the podcast to chat about Boeing's year from hellAdam Dawes joins us for another edition of Pimp my Portfolio —------Want to get involved in the podcast?
