Here’s the weekly Wealth Within episode, where senior analyst Fil Tortevski and analyst Pedro Banales break down protecting your portfolio – and why it’s so vital for investors as the Australian bourse heads for the 9,000 level.

Listen to the HotCopper podcast for in-depth discussions and insights on all the biggest headlines from throughout the week. On Spotify, Apple, and more.

Now – a drop to 8,600 is “highly likely” in Mr Tortevski’s opinion, but things will continue to swing, and that means preparing early and picking the right stocks is key.

“The market is a little heated and is due a pullback,” Mr Banales said, “and so in times like these it’s good to have a perspective of the market… I don’t think it’s full-blown overheating, but we eventually could see momentum retested.”
