Over the past 122 years, the Australian share market has averaged annual returns of 13.2%. Wild. And that is despite plenty of reasons to be concerned over those years - pandemics, world wars, missing prime ministers, you name it, it's happened. And the Aussie sharemarket has kept on growing.

In today's episode we take a look at that 122 year history and see what we can learn.

We also cover the news of the day, including:

• Australia's right to disconnect
• The Federal Reserve cutting rates
• Boeing's bad year gets worse

Resources discussed:
