The past few months has seen us run through the full range of emotions: fear, greed, confusion, panic, elation.

The important thing is while we've felt those emotions, we haven't acted on them. Instead, we've stayed the course and kept to our long-term investing plan. And with markets now up for the year-so-far, that has been a winning strategy.

On today's episode of Equity Mates, we continue our journey - sharing what we're investing in and what we're learning:

• The US-China trade war de-escalation continues
• Price wars are brewing here in Australia
• Xero's latest results and The Rule of 40 for software companies
• Adam Dawes returns for the latest Pimp my Portfolio
• We answer a question comparing IVV and IHVV
