Peter Switzer and Paul Rickard are back with another lively episode of Boom, Doom & Zoom, unpacking one of the strangest markets in memory — where gold, crypto, and equities are all hitting record highs at once.

In this week’s Boom Doom Zoom, Paul Rickard and Peter Switzer tackle your market questions and dive into the big stock stories moving investors.

From rate cuts to stock picks, Paul and Peter break down the latest moves in the market and answer your questions on everything from gold ETFs to small cap strategies.

From healthcare laggards to tech bargains and dividend-heavy defensives — this week’s Boom Doom and Zoom breaks down the stocks you’re asking about. 

Markets were rattled this week as James Hardie (ASX: JHX) delivered a disappointing update that left investors questioning management’s strategy and gearing levels. Meanwhile, Megaport (ASX: MP1) saw its usual rollercoaster ride, plunging 15% before clawing back losses on growth spending plans.

With reporting season kicking off, the pair discuss which stocks are priced for perfection (JB Hi-Fi, CBA, Wesfarmers), which ones are flashing warning signs (ASX, CSL), and why currency movements could catch Aussie investors off guard.
