Why Stocks Beat Property Almost Every Time, with John Ballinger

This week on the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie speaks to John Ballinger, a tech entrepreneur and software developer who once built the first iPhone heart monitor app, an app that featured in an Apple ad and detected a user's heart condition.But this conversation is really about how John invests, and it breaks almost every rule you've been taught. He holds 99% of his portfolio in a single stock: Rocket Lab. Not a fund, not a basket, one company. His logic is simple: find an extraordinary founder taking a business somewhere huge, buy in, and ride their coattails through every gut-wrenching dip, no matter how far it falls. He watched that stock slide from ten dollars to three and calls it the best buying opportunity he'd ever seen.John and Charlie get into why concentrating everything in one bet can make more sense than spreading it thin, why John ran the numbers and found that buying the S&P has crushed buying property in almost every scenario over the last seventy years, and why he believes most established companies are now the Titanic heading straight for the iceberg in the age of AI.This is a conversation about conviction, riding your winners, and thinking in decades when everyone else is thinking in months.Watch every episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast here: www.eccuity.com/podcastsLearn more about John here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ballinger-119903aa/Learn more about John's company here: https://applyhere.co.nz/#waystowealth #investing #stocks #rocketlab #ai #entrepreneurship #nzbusiness #stockmarket #property #wealthbuilding #tech #founders #longterm #conviction
