Shares for Beginners: Recent Episodes

Philip Muscatello

I interview industry experts so you'll learn what to do, what to ask and - ideally - how not to lose money.I'm just like you I want to make money from the stock market but I find the terminology confusing. I want to be able to make informed decisions. Let's learn together on Shares for Beginners.Shares for Beginners is for information and educational purposes only. It isn’t financial advice, and you shouldn’t buy or sell any investment based on what you’ve heard here. Any opinion or commentary is the view of the speaker only not Shares for Beginners. This podcast doesn’t replace professional advice regarding your personal financial needs, circumstances or current situation.

In our latest podcast episode, we dive deep into the world of technical analysis with Stockopedian Elio D'Amato. Elio has a rich background in fundamental and technical analysis. He shares his journey of becoming a "happy smuff" (self-managed unemployed fund) after leaving his previous employer on the cusp of the COVID crisis. Living in Melbourne, the world's most locked-down city, Elio had to find new methods to analyze businesses that suited his style, especially when cash flow from wages stopped.

Technical analysis covers a plethora of methodologies like movong averages, candlesticks, flags, pennants, MACDs, and RSIs. However, Elio emphasizes a simplistic approach to technical analysis, which he calls his "momentum journey."

Copper is a crucial metal in today's renewable energy revolution, and understanding its market dynamics can be key for investors.

Retirement planning is not one-size-fits-all. In this episode, I'm joined by Rebecca Wilson, author of the bestselling book How to Have an Epic Retirement, and host of the Primetime podcast. Rebecca shares her expertise on preparing for retirement, both financially and emotionally, and discusses the six pillars of an epic retirement.

Rebecca emphasizes that retirement is a transition that should be approached with a well-rounded perspective. She likens the anticipation of retirement to the period before having a first child—exciting yet filled with unknowns. By understanding and preparing for these changes, individuals can navigate their retirement years with confidence and joy.

This is Bec's Linktree to find out about all things Epic.

Investing can often feel like a daunting task with the myriad of options and strategies available. However, the latest episode of our podcast featuring Steve Mabb, Chair of the Australian Shareholders' Association (ASA), sheds light on how you can leverage the power of collective knowledge to boost your investment game.

The Australian Shareholders Association has been a stalwart advocate for retail and small shareholders for over 60 years. Steve explains that the association's mission is to protect the rights of individual investors and create a better investment environment. This is achieved through a combination of advocacy and education. The ASA's recent merger with the Australian Investors' Association has further strengthened its position, making it a more formidable force in representing shareholders' interests.

In this episode I'm joined by special guest, Laks Ganapathi, founder and CEO of Unicus Research. In this candid conversation, we delve into the often-misunderstood world of short selling and its impact on the stock market. We also look at some recent investing themes like ESG and craft beer to see where hype and optimism has led to poor investment returns.

Laks sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding short sellers. She acknowledges that some short sellers may contribute to a negative image by pumping stocks for profit, but she emphasizes that this isn't representative of all short sellers. The conversation touches on the ethical concerns of short selling and the need for transparency in financial markets. The discussion turned to this article ESG – A Good Deed With An Incentive To Scam | IFC Re... (ifcreview.com).

Ever been blindsided by a takeover offer and felt lost in a sea of unfamiliar takeover jargon? In this episode, we dive deep into the murky waters of mergers acquisitions and takeovers and the impact on shareholders with the return of Tony Kynaston from QAV investing. Tony sheds light on what it really means when a company catches the eye of potential buyers and how small investors can navigate their decisions. We discuss the nuances of schemes of arrangements to the strategies behind hostile bids and the complexity of corporate maneuvers. We focus on two companies - APM Human Services International Limited (ASX:APM) an Australia-based health and human services provider, and Austal Limited (ASX:ABS) is a global shipbuilder and defence prime contractor. Both of these companies are in takeover targets, and they make good examples for understanding the dynamics involved.

In this episode I'm joined by friend of the podcast Gary Brode for a rollercoaster ride through the whimsical world of finance, economics and monetary policy.

Let's face it, the economy can be dry and complicated. But Gary manages to inject humour into the discussion while unraveling the intricacies of the Federal Reserve's decisions, Congressional spending habits, and the ever-complex global market influences. There's even some laughs around the potential disaster brewing in Japan's interest rate policy and the commercial real estate market.

In a world of fluctuating markets and economic volatility, one asset has stood the test of time as a beacon of stability: gold. In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Eliseo, the general manager of ABC Bullion Australia, who brought over 25 years of experience in financial markets to our discussion on the enduring value of gold. Jordan provided a wealth of knowledge about gold's role as a hedge against inflation and its unique position within a diversified investment portfolio. Despite the absence of income in the form of dividends, gold's solid capital growth, liquidity, and capacity to protect wealth during market downturns makes it an attractive asset for investors.

Drones are no longer just gadgets for hobbyists or tools for capturing stunning aerial photography. In this episode, we delve into the world of drones and their revolutionary capabilities in the mining and agricultural industries with Chris Clark, the CEO of RocketDNA (ASX:RKT), a company that provides Drones as a Service.

Imagine drones that can conduct daily surveys, detect water leaks, count livestock, and even monitor environmental changes—all with a precision and frequency that were once unthinkable.

In a market rife with complexity and unpredictability, how do you carve out a path to consistent profitability by managing risk and securing gains? Fadi Diab, is known as The Gladiator on X (FKA Twitter). He's a seasoned microcap investor who's mastered the art of risk management over profit-chasing. Fadi shares his journey from a beginner who blew up his account twice to a savvy investor who now focuses on the potential for significant wins while minimizing losses.

Fadi's philosophy pivots on four questions:

  1. Why am I entering?
  2. How much money will I make if things go according to plan?
  3. How much will I lose if they don't?
  4. What factors will determine when I should sell?

G’day, I hope you’re enjoying your summer break. The next couple of weeks will be repeats while I recharge for the investing year in 2024. I hope 2024 shines brightly on your portfolio.

What does an epic poem written around 700BC tell us about investing? How are investors tempted to steer their money onto the rocks of investing underperformance? My guest is Michael Kemp, author of The Ulysses Contract.

There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says:

"I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."

Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Weekend Watchlist of 2024. At the beginning of each year Stockopedia publishes their No-Admin Portfolio System (NAPS) portfolio. Chris Batchelor and I discuss construction of this model, how it performed last year, and a couple of the stocks that have been included - Kina Securities (ASX:KSL) and Ricegrowers (ASX:SGLLV).

"To ensure a well diversified portfolio we select two stocks from each of the broad economic sectors as identified by Stockopedia. We select the two highest StockRank™ from each sector and add it to the portfolio. That’s it!

However in order to ensure that our Australasian NAPS portfolio’s diversification reflects that of the Australasian market, we have included a separate sector, Real Estate in acknowledgement of its size and contribution.

Further, given their smaller size we have only selected one stock from each of the Telecoms and Utilities sectors. In total the portfolio has 20 stocks spread across a diverse range of economic sectors and all with high ranking StockRank™ (QVM) scores.

Please don’t view the NAPS portfolio as a tip sheet. It is constructed using a simple rules-based approach with only minimal discretion. It is purely for the purposes of education only and does not reflect an actual portfolio."

I'm excited to share this podcast episode with Vince Scully from Life Sherpa as we delve into the recipe for creating a sustainable ETF portfolio. It's not all about finding the highest return. We talk about the average punter's view of risk in the stock market. Risk isn't just about the chance of a company going bankrupt and losing all your hard-earned dollars. Instead, risk is about the variability of outcomes and the probability of achieving your financial goals.

When too much Shawn is never enough. Here's part 2 of our chat. The highlight for me in this episode is the trap of vanity investing. It's when people talk about their investments as a way of showing how sophisticated they are. It's about bragging rights and commanding authority over the mere mortals who only want to invest in the boring old S&P500.

We Study Markets is part of The Investor's Podcast Network, the home of the hugely popular We Study Billionaires podcast.

In this episode I'm joined by Vince Scully as we delved into the world of financial advice. When should you start to seeking it, how much it should cost and a crucial discussion about the difference between "financial advice" and "investment advice". These two are often conflated but they serve different purposes. We spoke about the value of advice and how it helps to achieve financial independence and your life goals. But we did have a couple of questions about the costs touted by Money Smart at this link: Financial advice costs - Moneysmart.gov.au. We also dealt with a couple of comments from listener Ravi about his friend with a dodgy advisor and whether the ASX 200 is actually the best performing index in the world!

I think we can become easily confused by the jargon, metrics and ratios that analysts use to value companies. That's why I like to break them down one by one. I'm joined in this episode by Chris Batchelor from Stockopedia to discuss Free Cash Flow - what does it mean and why is it important?

Free cash flow is the amount of money that a business generates after paying for its operating expenses and investing in its growth. It is the cash that is left over for the owners or shareholders of the business to use as they wish. They can use it to pay off debt, save for future projects, or distribute as dividends.

The best part of Mark Tobin's job is finding innovative and disruptive companies that you don't hear about every day. Mark has been passionate about finding "undiscovered" microcap stocks ever since he began his career as an equity analyst in Sydney. Ever since that first exposure to microcap stocks, Mark has been hooked on uncovering these hidden gems and following their story and evolution.

We talked about Luke Winchester from Merewether Capital, and three microcaps that appeared at the last Coffee Microcaps conference in April. Water filtration with De.mem (ASX:DEM), helping to reduce the risk of travellers' diarrhea with Immuron (ASX:IMC), and timber and building materials supplier Big River Industries (ASX:BRI) which is nearly 100 years old.

What is the energy sector? How have tensions with Russia impacted global energy markets, and how can Europe's energy security be strengthened amidst conflict, uncertainty and the renewable energy revolution. My guest in this episode is James Hill, CEO of MCF Energy. With over four decades of experience in the industry, James Hill provides valuable insights into the current state of the sector and the transition toward renewable resources.

While the world is moving towards renewable energy, James Hill highlights that the transition will take time. The existing infrastructure and industrial base heavily rely on oil and gas, making their continued usage necessary for the foreseeable future.

Let me apologise upfront for all the banging you can hear during the episode. My neighbour was having a new roof fitted during the recording. Simplifying the complex world of investment with Ian Irvine from the Listed Investment Companies and Trusts Association (LICAT). We attempt to use similes, comparisons and analogies to explain the nitty-gritty of investing. For example, imagine the ASX200 as a Lego castle. The bigger company, the more blocks they contribute to the index. Inflows and outflows can drastically alter the size of an ETF like a balloon expanding and contracting. LICs are more like a Lego castle with a fixed number of blocks.

Jessica Amir is a Market Strategist | Financial Educator | Presenter. You might have seen her featured on TV, Radio & Online. This Quick Tip is from an episode we recorded a bit over a year ago. There’s been a few changes. Jessica was working for Saxo Markets then, ETF Securities is now Global X, and apparently there’s been a change of government. However, the practical tips she describes are still relevant and worth thinking about.

We talk about technical analysis and how to start spotting trends, using moving averages, and understanding RSI and MACD indicators

the process of finding companies about to be added or removed from major indices, such as the ASX 200 or the S&P 500

And researching companies that may benefit from changes in government policies

We all know and love the high-growth companies that have (hopefully) helped to contribute to our market returns, but how can you run the tape measure over them? What kind of numbers can help you to value companies that are growing fast but are not yet maximizing profit margins? According to Claude Walker, the magic number is 40.

Claude Walker is the founder of A Rich Life where he writes the Ethical Equities column. He loves his ASX tech stocks and investing in smaller unloved and ignored microcaps where the market is much less efficient.

In this episode we chatted about The Rule of 40. He was inspired by the announcement from new CEO of Xero (ASX:XRO) Sukhinder Singh Cassidy. She has struck a completely different tone than the old CEO. She says that the company will now be “more balanced and look to Rule of 40 as a useful performance evaluation measure in managing the balance of growth and profitability.”

Yesterday I spoke with Raji Khabbaz who is an ex-hedge fund manager in New York city. He’s founded an education program for school students called Learn Wall St which you can find at learnwallstreet.org. I’ll be releasing the full episode soon, but I couldn’t resist putting this segment out as a Quick Tip. The whole interview is full of juicy tid-bits but in this excerpt we spoke about risk and volatility, understanding that markets go up and down, the effects of inflation, and the dangers of leaving your money in cash..

What happens if the rug is pulled out from under you - financially, physically, spiritually? Your life can change in an instant. And how can you supercharge your financial independence with geo-arbitrage? Bali has plenty to offer beyond bintang t-shirts and parties. Amy Minkley is the founder of FI Freedom Retreats. Her life changed when she discovered the Financial Independence movement in 2019.

Amy’s Journey to FI

Event Facebook event

We discussed:

  • Using geo-arbitrage to create up to a 90% savings rate (invested in low-cost index funds), while working in Asia for the past 20 years.
  • Post-FIRE life in Mexico, Thailand, and Bali, and the cost and lifestyle of each place.
  • Her experience attending FIRE events in the U.S, and how those events inspired her to create FIRE events in my home, Bali.

The first episode of this podcast was released in February 2019, and my first guest was a financial advisor named Rob Gilmour. I couldn’t have asked for a finer first guest. He’s highly experienced in advice as well as having a background in markets in Australia and London. This Quick tip is taken from that first episode and it kind of shows where my head was at the time. I was still thinking of the share market as a place to get rich quick and hadn’t learnt about the long-term compounding nature of the game. It’s my main goal with the podcast, to make sure that listeners don’t make the same stupid mistakes that I made. Here’s a little segment about ways that you can invest and the ones to be very, very careful of.

Broadcasting live from his humble garage next to his trusty Toyota Corolla (and a clothes rack), Elio D'Amato from Stockopedia joined me to discuss share investing and the factors that identify quality companies. It's always great to catch up with Elio. His bluff good humour combined with his decades of experience always make for a great chat about companies and markets. We addressed the concerns of people approaching investment markets for the first time: Is now a good time to be in the market? Elio believes that it's not about timing, it's about the readiness of the investor. Just like merging into traffic, it's not about waiting for the ideal conditions, but rather assessing your own preparedness to navigate the market's ups and downs.

I was interviewing Andrew Page of Strawman on the 24th April this year. It was on the day that Bluescope Steel announced a significant earnings upgrade. I used this opportunity to find out Andrew’s thoughts on what it meant, why he doesn’t invest in companies that are exposed to commodities, and more importantly, the immediate affect on the share price.

Should I be investing actively or passively? Will I make more if I have an "expert" managing my dosh? Is making the most money even the right goal? There are no one-size-fits-all answers.

In this episode I'm joined by Vince Scully, chief sherpa at Life Sherpa to talk about choosing the right investment strategies.

What are the common ratios you should learn before building a portfolio? I know I go on about metrics and rations, but they’re important to understand. It’s what expert investors use to run the tape measure over companies. Mathew Hodge is a director of equity research for Morningstar Australasia. In this Quick Tip he talks about return on invested capital. He explains how this ratio can show how much return a company generates for every dollar of capital invested. Measuring return on invested capital eliminates the bias of return on equity, which can be distorted by financial leverage or the amount that the company has borrowed.

Above all, Mathew says to invest in yourself, expand your circles of competence, and keep upgrading your mental software.

Silicon Valley Bankcorp failed spectacularly in March 2023. The bank, the regulators and the media formed a circle of finger-pointing and blame. Understanding duration risk is a fundamental concept in finance, and the bank should have been aware of the porblem. The Federal Reserve warned Silicon Valley Bankcorp last year, expressing their concern. Warnings were ignored, and the results were catastrophic.

In this Quick Tip, he shares his insights on the difference between full-service and online brokers, the importance of due diligence, and how to make informed investment decisions.

Have you ever found yourself nodding along to someone's explanation of an investing concept or number, only to realize that you have no idea what they were talking about? It's eye-glazingly common in finance, where jargon and buzzwords are thrown around with abandon. Especially by men in fancy suits. I'm joined in this episode by Andrew Page from the Strawman Investing Blog We're taking a closer look at 2 financial metrices - the price-earnings ratio (PE) and return on equity (ROE). Don't worry of these metrics are not clear when you're first starting out as an investor. It's more important that you are aware of the pitfalls and to need to keep asking questions.

What does an epic poem written around 700BC tell us about investing? How are investors tempted to steer their money onto the rocks of investing underperformance? My guest is Michael Kemp, author of The Ulysses Contract.

There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says:

"Don't be discouraged by all the negative arguments I'm putting forth. I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."

He wanted to leave little notes for his kids in the future – how to set a budget, save money, spend money, buy a property, save for a baby and more. The goal was to make it clear and concise on what he'd learnt about the most important aspects of personal finance and investing.

He also talked about his favourite ETF. The best ETF in Australia is the only one I own – Dad Investor

The QAV Investing podcast is hosted by Tony Kynaston and Cameron Reilly. The podcast is based on the QAV (Quality at Value) system that uses a checklist and a framework to analyze and score stocks based on their latest financial figures.

The QAV system is based on the belief that it's better to rely on numbers rather than stories when it comes to investing. CEOs and company management are often promoters and have a vested interest in making their company look good. They may spin stories and hype up their company, but the QAV system focuses on easily accessible financial data.

The QAV system uses a checklist and a spreadsheet to score stocks based on several key metrics. One of the most important metrics is operating cash flow, as it is a reliable indicator of a company's financial health. Other metrics include intrinsic value, yield, and whether the company is run by an owner-founder. The system produces a heat map that shows the intrinsic value of a stock based on different metrics, giving investors a clear idea of whether a stock is worth considering.

Investment philosophy is always a work in progress. In this episode I was joined by substack authors Daye Deng and Balkar Sivia who have an article titled Memo: Value Investing Revisited - Rethinking volatility, conviction, and Mr. Market. Value investing is a philosophy learned from well-known investors like Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham. There is a standard set of principles in value investing. These principles, such as "volatility is not a risk" and "conviction is key," are useful when applied correctly. However, there are always nuances and compromises in these principles that arise in practice. In this context, Daye & Balkar examined the five most common value investing principles and offer a practical perspective based on their own experiences.

Somehow markets seem to be heading upwards just as the news seems to be getting worse and worse. Higher interest rates mean less money for people to spend, which will have a negative effect on company profits. There may even be a recession, but are there ways to benefit? Joining me today is a glass half full kind of guy, David Harvie from Saxo Markets. We wade into the shallow of Commodities and Foreign Exchange. David is the Country Head of Direct Sales at Saxo Markets. He is responsible for designing and executing strategies to grow sales as well as improve customer experience and retention for Saxo’s suite of investment offerings, while overseeing the team of local relationship managers.

Have you ever found yourself worrying about money despite earning a decent salary? You're not alone. In fact, nearly half of Australians report feeling stressed about their finances. It's hard to change and people think that it requires deprivation, an iron will and a spreadsheet. Lily Sussman is the chief Strategy Officer at Wisr and a driving force behind the Wisr Today app. She believes that bad habits are formed over time, and not all of them serve us well. Ordering takeaway when we're tired, or shopping when we're bored can add up to significant amounts of money over the course of a year. Lili believes that to change our habits, we need to work with our brain's natural design.

Simon Ree is the author of The Tao Of Trading: How To Build Abundant Wealth In Any Market Condition. But why does the world need another book on options trading? There are already hundreds of them out there. Simon thought that all of the ones that he'd read were boring. The sorts of book you'd only read if your boss was making you do it. He thinks that sometimes the authors like to show off how good they are at complex math and difficult concepts. He tried to write a book on options trading that was simple, engaging and fun to read.

And this is the first recording of the new year. And who better to welcome back to the microphone than old friend of the podcast Julian McCormack, investment Analyst from Platinum Asset Management.

Hey there, hope you're enjoying your January holidays (if you're listening in the southern hemisphere). I'm back in the saddle - at a canter not a gallop just yet. This is a repeat from another podcast I make for the Australian Shareholders' Association - AGM Watch. Each year the Australian Shareholders' Association monitors the performance of most of Australia’s top 200 companies - protecting the rights of retail shareholders with a dedicated team of volunteer company monitors.

In this episode we're joined by Mike Robey, Company Monitoring Committee Chair for Victoria, and Lewis Gomes, the NSW Company Monitoring Chair.

We spoke about:

  • The Telstra AGM and the challenges it faces
  • The shape of the Telstra restructure and the role of holding companies
  • Vicky Brady’s appointment as CEO
  • How the holding company structure is being implemented at ANZ.
  • BHP & RIO have been star performers despite their attempts to divest out of fossil fuels.
  • SEEK and voting against the remuneration report.
  • SEEK's investment arm and how is this affecting operations?
  • Why Goodman Group a successful company with an outrageous remuneration report
  • CBA - Great results and excellent internal culture/leadership but poor management of its AGM
  • Origin Energy - a tale of two companies
  • The struggles of Lend Lease

Recorded before Christmas but released as the first episode of the New Year, Jodi Pettersen has been a friend of the podcast from the early days. She's off to start a new life in Italy and we sat down to chat with no particular agenda. She used to work at eInvest which has now been folded back into the parent firm.

We spoke about the size of the institutional world of money, how I did the wrong financial course but now know more about insurance than I ever thought possible, why women whisper about money and how to help drummers with their dosh. Also about the rapidly diminishing financial advisors in Australia.

There's a lot of work that goes into launching an ETF, and it's not as simple as it may seem to the average investor. From an operations perspective, ETFs can be complex and require a lot of behind-the-scenes work to ensure everything runs smoothly. It's the job of those in the financial industry to make the process of investing in an ETF seem effortless and easy for investors, even though there is a lot of complexity involved. Just like a ballet dancer makes their performance look effortless and precise, those in the financial industry strive to make the process of investing seem simple. However, this can be a double-edged sword, as it may give the impression to some that investing is too easy or straightforward.

Recently, my mother’s financial adviser retired. His clients were transferred to another advice firm. This meant that and my brother and I were presented with an updated Statement of Advice. Before I started doing this podcast I had no idea about what a document like this covered. For most ordinary people it’s a classic case of Too Long Did Not Read. Most people’s eyes glaze over and they sign the document based on trusting the adviser. But having a little bit of knowledge (which can be a dangerous thing), I devoured the Statement of Advice. I learnt some interesting stuff.

In this episode I’m joined by Sarah King from Stockspot to discuss this process and how adult children can make sure that their parents are basically getting the best possible deal Sarah works in ADVICE AND CLIENT CARE at Stockspot. She has over 13 years experience in the financial services sector working in financial advisory, operations and administrative roles.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how little I know about the metrics that investors use to value companies. We had a look at the P/E Ratio a few weeks ago. This week Craig Mercer joined me again to discuss Return on Equity or ROE. But like all the best metrics, they become more complicated the more you dig into them. The warning for beginners is to not take a metric on face value. Craig Mercer is the Chief Research Officer and Head of ESG at Dalton Investments (Australia).

There's an old cliché about the "starving" artist that may have a basis in reality, but isn’t set in stone! My guest David Maurice Sharp joined me to discuss the tricky financial waters that come with following the artistic path. He's a financial educator that provides valuable advice for performing artists like actors, dancers, lighting gurus, costumers or stagehands on investing, saving and building a diversified and stable financial portfolio. While he writes specifically for artists who have fluctuating, uncertain and sometimes limited streams of income, he promotes an understanding of finances and the investment world that has lessons for anyone starting their financial education.

David was a founding member and initiated the formation of the Thriving Artists Investment Club, a limited partnership established by a small group of artist/friends to educate one another about investing and personal portfolio management. Through that, he also gained greater insight into how the artist can best be educated about their finances and investing. For more than a decade, David has been teaching investment workshops at HB Studio, an acting conservatory in New York City. This has provided him with the invaluable opportunity to hone his ideas for educating artists in regard to their finances, and to enjoy the success experienced by those who have implemented the ideas and techniques that he promotes.

In October 2014, David was named a “money hero” for his work in educating artists about their finances by Money magazine. He is the author of The

Thriving Artist: Saving and Investing for Performers, Artists, and the Stage & Film Industries and a contributing author to A Life in Dance: A Practical Guide.

Shares in a company are like slices of pizza. But how can you find out the correct number of slices? In this Quick Tip Claude Walker from A Rich Life talks about how investors who succeed learn from their mistakes, build up their knowledge base, so they can invest with an advantage over others who don’t put in the same amount of work.

Claude is the founder of A Rich Life and writes the Ethical Equities column for this publication. He had the good fortune of starting young as an investor and was the Research Analyst and then Advisor of Motley Fool Hidden Gems from 2014 – 2018, during which period his recommendations more than doubled the market return. He has a go-anywhere, do-anything approach to investing, but he always considers the impact his investments have on society and the environment, not just the expected financial return.

We live in a world with an abundance of valuable information at our fingertips. But the downside is exhaustion from dizzying information overload and a 24-hour news cycle that makes it overwhelming to sift through and process. In fact, in early 2020, 66% of Americans reported being “worn out” by the amount of news.

In Thriving on Overload: The Five Powers for Success in a World of Exponential Information (McGraw Hill, 9/6/22), futurist and entrepreneur Ross Dawson contends that the capacity to thrive on limitless information is now the single most important capability for success, yielding not just powerful insight, world-leading expertise, and better decisions, but also improved wellbeing. Ross draws on the experiences of his world-class clients, which include Citibank, Coca-Cola, Google, KPMG, Microsoft, News Limited, Oracle, Procter & Gamble, PwC, and Walmart. He shows how to make information overload something to capitalize on instead of run from—and how this can improve your career (in any field), ventures, investments and life.

I interviewed Rudi Filapek-Vandyck this week and he kindly responded to my arm-twisting to give us a few more moments to discuss the violent up and down movements this week on world markets. Apparently, it’s a lot to do with low volume and short covering. This interview was recorded on October 5th and I’m releasing this over the weekend of October 8-9 after the US S&P500 dropped on Friday by about 2 and a half percent. Not boding well for our market on Monday. As I always say - no-one knows anything!

One of the most used investment tools available is the Price-Earnings (PE) ratio. It causes so much confusion among investors who like to treat it as a one size fits all instrument to find "value" in the share market. According to Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, there is no such thing as a simple universal measure to decide which stocks represent attractive "value" and which ones are "overvalued".

There’s a 54% chance that any given day on the ASX will be an up day. It might not feel like it at the moment but that statistic holds true over a longer period of time.

"Australia’s mining industry is a pillar of the Australian economy, with the country being one of the world’s largest exporters of coal, iron ore, bauxite, alumina, and many other resources. The gross value added by the mining industry was in the hundreds of billions of Australian dollars in the past decade alone. The real gross value added of the mining industry accounted for over 10 percent of the total gross value added in Australia, making it one of the largest economic industries in the country. Over 180 thousand people were employed in the Australian mining industry. Historically, several mining booms have increased investment in mining, leading to higher incomes from mining activities and more immigration to Australia." - Mining industry in Australia - statistics & facts | Statista

Matthew Hodge is the Director of Equity Research for Morningstar Australasia. He is a mining analyst who started out working in the mining industry. I've been looking for a while to find someone to give us a sensible overview of the Australian Mining Industry.

In this Quick Tip I invited Graham to respond to a listener question about Stocks, ETF’s, bonds, cash, property and how they should be balanced when constructing a portfolio.

"I like the fact that I can get a decent income stream every quarter, every year, but when I'm looking at investments, I am kind of considering the bigger picture, like the bigger portfolio in mind first and foremost, rather than just chasing the highest yield from here there and everywhere. So I'm more interested in like a pretty diversified portfolio, but hopefully one that produces like a decent income at the same time. So it's kind of a balance and I definitely wouldn't chase super high yields just because it looks more attractive or it's more kind of immediate gratification of getting the high payments each quarter."

If you don't know who the sucker is at the poker table it's you. I was joined in this conversation by Wall Street Journal reporter Spencer Jakab. His latest book is “The Revolution That Wasn’t: GameStop, Reddit and the Fleecing of Small Investors.” The frenzy in meme stocks in 2021 was perceived as a Robin Hood style raid on Wall Street. Reddit forums filled with young men holding "diamond hands" taking down the financial industry. The truth was far more nuanced. We also took a detour to look at insider trading by members of Congress.

Spencer Jakab writes for and edits the Heard on the Street Column at The Wall Street Journal. He was Deputy Editor between 2015 and 2019 and wrote the Journal’s daily investing column, Ahead of the Tape, for four years before that. Spencer spent four years at Britain’s Financial Times writing the “Lex” and “On Wall Street” columns and got his start in financial journalism at Dow Jones Newswires where he was part of a SABEW-winning team covering energy markets.

Spencer is the author of two books on the plight of individual investors, both published by the Portfolio imprint of Penguin Random House.

“Heads I Win, Tails I Win: Why Smart Investors Fail and How To Tilt the Odds in Your Favor” (2016) and “The Revolution That Wasn’t: GameStop, Reddit and the Fleecing of Small Investors.” His first career was in finance where he spent years as a top-rated emerging market stock analyst. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and three sons.

Even when times are good, the media loves bad news. In this episode I asked David Bassanese to give us a quick education in basic economic concepts. It may provide some protection against those big words and numbers that can affect our investing. David Bassanese is Chief Economist with BetaShares, an independent Australian manager of exchange traded products (ETPs), with over $A23 billion in funds under management. Ex-Federal Treasury escapee and spent time sipping espressos at the Paris-based OECD. Also worked at Macquarie/Bankers Trust in senior market economist/strategist roles.

What's your investment style? What makes a good business? What makes a good investment? In this episode I'm joined by Matthew Hodge, Director of Equity Research for Morningstar Australasia.We spoke about learning to become a better investor, upgrading your own software, a couple of key ratios that help you understand company valuations and the importance of investing what you know and understand.

“There are hoards of professionals out there who are spending their time doing this stuff, right? Like you can't compete with that. I occasionally go to a wine tasting group, right? And this wine tasting group is full of people who are working in the industry and tasting a hundred or 200 wines a week. I can't compete with that as an amateur. You have to know your limitations, right. But it's possible if you're interested and you learn and you figure out your niche and what you are looking for. What's your investment style? What makes a good business? What makes a good investment?.”

There are many asset classes with various risk profiles that investors need to be aware of. If you take a look at your super, you’ll often see Fixed Income in your investment options. This Quick Tip is with Camilla Love, the founder and Managing Director of ETF provider eInvest. We discussed fixed income, what to watch out for and what role is in a portfolio mix.

"If you're looking at a fixed income fund that is returning 6% or more per annum, you really need to lift that hood, look at what's in it and understand the volatility and return profile of fixed income because if fixed income's not there to be your insurance policy, it's there for something else, and you need to understand that when putting a portfolio together."

What is reporting season and how do analysts and fund managers find the numbers to run the tape measure over a company? Australian listed companies share their financial reports twice a year, generally in February (half yearly), and the full year in August. They come out and talk about the results for the half or the full year with a presentation, and generally an outlook statement and that's reporting season. We have it in a six monthly period in Australia. Simon Shields is the Portfolio Manager and co-founder of Monash Investors. We spoke about his approach to reporting season, his style of investing and the ETM that his company runs, MAAT. You can find out more about Monash Investors at this link.

Just as you study a company before you buy it’s shares, you need to study ETFs and what they are comprised of before diving in. Simon Karaban is a Senior Vice President at SGX Singapore Exchange where he works creating indexes. Most passive ETFs are based on an index and Simon has plenty of insights behind the scenes. In this Quick Tip Simon warns about some ETFs that are designed only to attract investors. They may not have the best returns or they may not even be comprised of the kind of companies that you would expect in the description. It’s about looking under the hood to see the engine that’s driving the ETF. Is it going to provide the returns that you expect, and is it truly investing in what you think it’s investing in?

From the birth of disco (it was 1953!), capital raising, the tortoise and the hare, businesses blessed by bountiful accounting principles and the banking of the future.

What are the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and how can investing help to achieve them? What's the difference between ESG & Impact Investing? What we do as investors matters. Across the different asset classes, we find a spectrum of impact – from negative to positive – that needs to be addressed. The solutions are not clear-cut. We live in a complex world, and while it’s easy to blame oil, gas and animal farming for a majority of the emissions, if we were to stop drilling for oil, using gas and herding cattle today, our civilization would collapse tomorrow. A significant amount of people would starve or freeze to death within days. This is why decarbonization require a system-wide transformation. Financial markets have the unique opportunity to drive this transformation and start a phase shift. Capital is the enabler for innovation and prosperity. By leveraging the right strategies transformational impact can be created that serves the planet, people and profits.Jeremy Liddle and Zarmeen Pavri work in the Venture Capital space and run SDGx Ventures Climate Tech Fund.

Have you heard the term "sheep money"? Mitchell Atkins explains that it's the Twitter guys, the followers, the pumpers and the dumpers that can change the market dramatically. He reckons that you'll see an IPO (a company listing to the stock exchange), and it will have advisers and brokers creating amazing hype. The razzle as Mitchell calls it. Then the company starts to trend on social media and boom, everyone sells out, the share price tanks, and the poor retail investors (the sheep) lose out. It was a pleasure discussing this and other insights with the micro-cap fund manager of the year Mitchell Atkins (@Magnolia_Mitch) / Twitter

Hit him up on Twitter - he's happy to talk about his ideas and answering investing questions. https://twitter.com/Magnolia_Mitch

Simon Shields is the Portfolio Manager and co-founder of Monash Investors. We spoke about his approach to investing, an overview of the recent reporting season, the difference between focussing on absolute and relative returns and the early warning triggers they use to reduce exposure to companies in their fund that may be facing challenges to their share price. You can find out more about Monash Investors at this link: https://monashinvestors.com/

Before co-founding Monash, Simon spent 25 years as an analyst, portfolio manager and head of equities for large fund management businesses. Unusually for a professional fund manager, he was fortunate to move between firms that had widely differing investment styles of growth, value and DCF approaches. Monash has taken advantage of this experience to create an agnostic approach to investing that focusses on absolute instead of relative returns.

I’d like to introduce you to a new podcast called ETFs for Beginners. My co-host is Ana Kresina. She’s much better on Instagram than me and you can follow us there by going to @etfsforbeginners. ETFs deserve their own podcast. They can represent a different style of investing altogether, or they can be part of portfolio that includes both individual shares and ETFs. Either way there’s a lot to talk about. I’m also enjoying working with Ana who is a devotee of long term boring compounding investing. She also doesn’t break Instagram the way I would. https://play.acast.com/s/etfs-for-beginners

We are excited to be publishing our first episode with an actual guest! Jessica Leung from Betashares. In this episode Jessica explains how one of the best ways to start out with ETFs is with a broad market cap weighted index. So you're essentially getting the market, the whole of the ASX 200. She also explained why she decided to create content on social media, to raise awareness of financial literacy. Who better to speak in this space than a person actually managing an ETF themselves. You can find her in Instagram and TikTok via @theleungway

Here's a link to a recent article from Jessica about the ESG revolution: https://www.betashares.com.au/insights/the-esg-revolution/

Jessica is a member of the portfolio management team at BetaShares. Prior to joining BetaShares, Jessica worked within the Systematic Equities Portfolio Management team at Macquarie Investment Management. Jessica is a CFA Charterholder and has a Bachelor degree in Actuarial Studies and a Bachelor of Applied Finance from Macquarie University.

In this WEEKEND WATCHLIST I’m joined by Gareth Brown from Forager Funds to talk about Blancco (AIM:BLTG)

Here’s a recent quarterly report from Forager: https://foragerfunds.com/news/investor_resources/quarterly-report-both-funds-september-2021/

“Erasure software market leader Blancco (AIM:BLTG) reported its full year result. The second half was strong, as expected, with revenue up 19% despite a currency headwind. The Enterprise division, selling direct to large corporations, continues to shine, with second half revenues increasing 35% and important new business wins that should be recurring in nature. The ITAD division, which sells erasure licences to equipment recyclers, did better than we should expect longer term, with a surge of end-of-life hardware processing occurring post COVID. The mobile phone recycling division didn’t inspire, generating revenues the same as the prior year, but it should benefit significantly from the return to normal life.”

NABtrade says in Australia, millennials will inherit around three and a half trillion dollars from baby boomers over the next 20 years. And then of course, when we look at millennials coming into investment, it's also important to understand, well, what is important to millennials and Morgan Stanley says that 86% of millennials are interested in sustainable investing and twice as likely as the overall population to invest in companies targeting ESG goals." – Lelde Smits

As more people resume travel following the pandemic, demand for oil is expected to rise. The world will need more oil from the same companies currently being told to limit spending, as many investors shun the fossil-fuel industry. Today my guest is talking about the price of oil and what it all means. Kyle Macintyre from Firetrail Investments believes in spite of the move to green energy and electric vehicles, and the pressures of ESG investing, that the price of oil is heading upwards.

More information in the blog post here https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/oil

"Where things start to get really interesting, that I mentioned before, is that history shows that, you know, the prices of commodities are set by the supply and oils are a really unique commodity in that it's actually driven by pressure and you actually get declines in supply when you don't have continued investment in oil." – Kyle Macintyre

When you made your first purchase of a share or ETF you would have received a welcome letter from a share registry. What's this for?

More information in the blog post here https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/computershare

"What is a share registry? I think probably the easiest way to, to answer that is to use some other analogies. When you've got your license and you go to Vic roads or the RTA and they record who the license holders are, or you go to the land titles office and they register who the owners of properties are, a share registry records the ownership of companies. So who are the shareholders? What are their names? What are their addresses of the companies? And we primarily focus on ASX listed companies here in Australia" - Scott Hudson

A share registry like Computershare records

  • Your mailing address
  • Your email address
  • Your Tax File Number
  • Your bank account details

As General Manager of Market Liaison, Scott is responsible for Computershare’s engagement with the market and leading strategic projects.

Prior to joining Computershare, Scott spent five years in London working for HSBC and Gartmore Investment Management on a range of managed investment and hedge funds, specialising in emerging markets and European large caps.

And so the story continues with the Black Monday Crash of 1987 through to the tech boom, Y2K bug and the year 2000. By the way you can catch Kenny on ausbiz tv where he appears regularly.

"These big Americana blue chip names got absolutely hammered. And so thus the Dow fell, you know, 22 and a half percent, the S&P that fell. It was horrendous. I'll never forget it. Again as I tell the story, I can feel myself in the room. I can feel the phones ringing. I can feel the tension in the, in the place. It was really, it was unbelievable. It was unbelievable. And we were there that night until, you know, eight or nine o'clock at night, just writing reports and confirming trades because there was such swings in prices.”

So, I’m searching around for my next guest and I come across this guy, Kenny Polcari. I’m looking at this guy and I’m thinking – he’s been on the New York Stock Exchange for like 40 years. He might know a thing or two. I normally try and keep interviews to 30 minutes but after 30 minutes we hadn’t even reached 1987. I love war stories and Kenny’s been there on the frontline on a bayonet charge through the markets. We’ve decided to record 4 episodes to chronicle this extraordinary story. Next episode will be about the Black Monday Crash of 1987 through to the tech boom, Y2K bug and the year 2000. After that episode we'll take a little break and then come back with 2 more. By the way the movie our failing memories was trying to recall was Wall Street with Kirk Douglas and Charlie Sheen. “Greed is Good”. Here’s some clips: https://youtu.be/-TLCaDbBv_s

"I was completely enamoured by what I experienced at the New York Stock Exchange. You have to remember in 1980 there were no computers, nothing, zero. There wasn't even a calculator. There was no television, no radio. There certainly wasn't any internet Yahoo and LinkedIn and Twitter, none of that stuff existed. And when you were on the floor, you were really in a cocoon. You couldn't get information about what was happening in the outside world, because there were no outside sources. I walked into a building that had 5,000 Type A personalities running around screaming and yelling, buying, selling, bidding, offering all of these stocks. I was completely mesmerized from the minute I walked through that door." - Kenny Polcari

Welcome to this first episode of Weekend Watch list. These episodes are designed to take a deep dive into a company and why it might be worth putting on your watch list. It's not a recommendation to buy, but a way of learning how the experts go about screening for value.

Michael Dee from Pythagoras Investing joined me to talk about the price of iron ore and the effect on our biggest producers BHP, RIO & FMG

"China's very conscious of what it says and the effect of what it says. And it's got a vested interest in talking down the price of some of these commodities, the fact is they want to industrialize at the cheapest possible price."

Mark Mitchell is a Director of Daintree Capital, a boutique investment management company specialising in building fixed income credit portfolios. I know that I go on about this, but it's really important to understand that there are different kinds of asset classes that you can invest in. Shares are not the only way. Mark explains everything about bonds. They are loans to governments or corporations. Depending on your circumstances they could be considered as part of your portfolio.

More information in the blog post here: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/mitchell

"When you think about investing in a bond, there are a number of risk factors that you look at, but the one most people focus most heavily on, you know, is the default risk, the risk that you're not going to get your money back."

Well this was an unexpected chat. I had my list of questions which we both ignored while Adam explained risk management. Adam Turk is the CEO of Harbourside Capital and he generously explained how they have a process of choosing shares to invest in while managing the risk that they will be wrong at times. I met Adam on Twitter where we both seem to follow the same FinTwitterers and laugh at the same bad finance jokes.

Tony's been on the podcast several times and I always enjoy our chats. We started this discussion with one of my rants about how before doing anything, beginners need to understand who they are. Learning how to become an expert stock picker is not something that happens overnight. It takes years of learning, expensive experience when you will be making costly mistakes, managing risk, and dealing the emotions that are inevitably attached to money. Many beginners think that it's just a matter of being given the right "tips". It simply doesn't work that way. As Tony says: "We're trying to teach people how to fish, not give them a fish dinner every night."

An AGM is an opportunity for regular shareholders like you and me to hold directors to account. Fiona Balzer works tirelessly organising the volunteer company monitors of the Australian Shareholders' Association.

ASA has a dedicated team of company monitors who meet with company chairs and directors to discuss issues of importance to retail shareholders. ASA monitors prepare voting intentions, having regard to ASA's Voting and engagement guidelines, and they attend AGMs on behalf of members and retail shareholders.

I have another podcast called AGM Watch that covers the work of these monitors. You can have a listen to see what's covered in an AGM https://www.australianshareholders.com.au/podcasts

A Quick Tip from Doug Morris from Sharesight about making your first share purchase and using it as part of your learning experience. Only invest a small amount and then read everything you can about the company. The companies he mentions are all US stocks but the same lessons go for companies on the ASX.

"Look for a company you're familiar with, that you use on a daily basis. Is there a statement from a trained analyst saying the value of this company is x and the shares ought to be trading at y? That might be a company you should consider investing in."

Ted was a guest on one of my first episodes. I wanted to chat again. In these days of DIY investing it's easy to forget that financial advice is now within the reach of smaller investors. It may not be the cheapest option but it could fast-track your investing knowledge. We discussed this in the context of recent market mania about meme stocks and "stonks".

Episode Blog Post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ted

"Stonks are popular companies that are mostly traded by retail investors, not institutional investors. They're often companies that you and I may use a lot. They get these huge share price increases, and often without any fundamental business catalyst behind why the share price is spiked so sometimes they're referred to meme stocks, even story stocks. And there's a lot of money, that has been flooding into these and to be honest, I think a lot of the biggest reason for it is a bit of FOMO, you know, their brands or people understand share prices going up. So people fight into it and the likes of Elon Musk and Dave Portnoy have been tweeting specifically about the word stonks and that's even fueled this even more and kind of made this investing approach and I use the word investing approach loosely."

  • Discussing money with your partner
  • Aligning your investing with your goals
  • How to assess a financial planner
  • The growing wealth of women

"The biggest thing on investing is that people think it's really complicated, and that you need to be a expert stock picker to invest and that you need lots of money to invest. I absolutely spend a lot of time dispelling that myth and talking to people about how investing is just a means to an end, not an end in itself, that it's about your goals and that lifestyle that you want to create or that legacy you want to create or the business you want to start whatever it is, and aligning your investing to your goals to facilitate the outcomes that you're trying to achieve."

"The Australian stock market is 2% of the global market. For every great Australian company, I can name an even better international equivalent. When Bryce and I started investing, international shares were difficult. They were really expensive and most of the time, you just couldn't access most markets. And what we've seen over the last even just five years is accessibility and costs have come down so much, and it's now just as easy to buy an American share or European share as an Australian share. And so, for us it feels like a no brainer. If we look around, you know, in this room what we're using, but more generally what we use in our lives, it's Apple computers, and we search on Google, we use Microsoft products. We want to invest in what we know, and more and more of what we know are overseas listed companies." Alec Renehan.

Just start investing. My first share purchase was in a broker's office whereas Kylie bought her first company based on a tip on Youtube. This is an indication of how the world has changed since the dark ages, and the opportunities and possibilities available to investors right now. It's also a lesson in NOT taking your investment tips from Youtube. It's also about women learning about how to get started.

Episode Blog Post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/purcell

"There are more men and young guys investing in the stock market than women. And it's been that way for a long time. But the trends do show that that's changing, which is a really good thing. The fact that you can buy and sell shares online now I think is a really big step. I think the rise of online broking platforms has been a really good thing for women just to get in there and get started. And start young. I think it has to start when you're younger, especially for women. I think as you start to get older family, becomes important, jobs become important. And it's just a lot of effort to get into share trading, and it can appear to be risky. And you've got other priorities at that point. So I think educating your kids, your daughters would be a really big step. And starting at school as well. You know, I know a lot of boys schools in Australia do teach you about the stock market. I don't know any girls schools that do that. That could be a really big start."

And happy 2nd birthday to the podcast! Thanks Kylie for sharing this special moment. Kylie is the investment editor at Finder. Follow her for more great investing tips and advice.

Scott Phillips is The Motley Fool’s Chief Investment Officer in Australia, and runs the Motley Fool Share Advisor, Million Dollar Portfolio and Everlasting Income services. He's also all over the media, social AND traditional. And a Roosters tragic. He's joined us to talk about his 5 investing 'don'ts':

  • Don't trade too often.
  • Don't sell too quickly.
  • Don't give in to envy or greed.
  • Don't buy the hot new thing.
  • Don't let the 'story' overwhelm the fundamentals.

"...it's so easy to get caught up with the media. And frankly, the brokerage ads and there's very much a sense that if you can be active, you'll do well. In my experience, and most people's experienced exactly the opposite. If you keep your brokerage and your taxes down, you find good businesses and you hang on, let them do their thing. That tends to be where success comes from. My biggest mistakes have been actually things like selling too early, rather than selling too late, or selling too frequently. And so that idea of just be sensible, be slow, I tend to like to say, buy slow, and sell even slower."

LICs are Listed Investment Companies or sometimes referred to as LITs. Tony Kynaston of the QAV Investing Podcast, all-round great guy/investor joined me to explain what kind of beast an LIC is. It's like an ETF but with some very important differences. LICs have been around a lot longer than ETFs. And they can be attractive in their own special way.

"We're trying to build something that's fundamentally based around your financial journey, helping you achieve long-term goals and get better financial outcomes with Australia's first customizable auto-invest feature"

Today's guest is Kurt Walkom from brand-new, on-line broking platform, Pearler. He's talking about the mistakes he made before realising that he wasn't cut out for actively picking shares. His strategy turned to passive ETF investing which formed the basis of the Pearler philosophy. Pearleris designed for the long term investor and offers auto-investing, goal tracking, access to Finfluencer portfolios, low-cost brokerage, access to all ASX stocks & ETFs (US Stocks coming soon!) AND zero-brokerage on some ETFs (conditions apply).

Episode Blog Post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/pearler

Pearler is an online broking platform to help Aussies achieve financial independence via long-term investing. Pearler was founded in Sydney in 2018 after the founders got fed up with only having two bad options to refer our friends to when they wanted to start investing – confusing trading platforms or expensive micro-investment apps. Pearler makes investing effortless and helps to create good financial habits by automating the investing process.

What’s an Annual General Meeting? A Remuneration Report? And why are they important for investors? I’m joined today by Fiona Balzer from the Australian Shareholders’ Association to explain all.

Episode Blog Post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/agm

Each year the Australian Shareholders’ Association or ASA, monitors the performance of most of Australia’s ASX200 companies - protecting the rights of retail shareholders with a dedicated team of company monitors. These volunteer members meet with company chairs and directors, and attend AGMs to ask questions of importance to members and retail shareholders. ASA has 110 volunteer monitors – who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many have expertise and life experience that contributes to their analysis of company performance – whether governance, financial or operational. The ASA also aggregates voting intentions, representing approximately 4 billion dollars of shareholder value with the ASA nominated as proxy. And those are some of the terms covered in this episode.

It's basically about reminding Boards of Directors that there are small shareholders whose interests they need to look after.

We've just completed a short season of podcasts where I've interviewed the company monitors about AGM highlights. It's called AGM Watch and it's available at this link; https://www.australianshareholders.com.au/podcasts. It's well worth a listen if you're interested in a deep dive into some of Australia's largest companies.

If one more person tells me that if I just cut out my morning coffee or took my lunch to work I could afford a house or to retire rich…I’ll scream. That's the extent of most financial advice for younger people.

We talked about:

  • U2 before Bono could sing (Vince is from Dublin)
  • Vince's financial advice bugbears
  • Information revolution in financial advice dissemination
  • Choosing an Index that suits your needs
  • Passive vs Active funds
  • Protecting your portfolio with bonds and alternative investments

I also make a podcast for the Australian Shareholders' Association called The Equity Investor Journey, although we are looking to rename it to something a little catchier. This is an episode that I recorded with Gemma Dale from Nabtrade and the Your Wealth Podcast. I thought you may enjoy our discussion and especially insights into Robin Hood trading and the contrastingly sensible investing behaviour that she has observed here in Oz. Yet again we can congratulate ourselves on being proud Aussies.

On the first day of spring, Andrew and I sat down for our first ever Shares for Beginners Facebook Live. It was enjoyable to answer questions live and meet some of you. For those who missed it, this is an edited highlight reel of the chat.

Andrew has so much investing knowledge and loves to geek out on Annual Reports. He provides clear, simple investing tips that will help all of us. We also take a deep dive into two companies - Nanosonics (ASX:NAN) and Pointerra (ASX:3DP). Great practical examples that have been very rewarding for the Strawman community.

"HEADS I WIN, TAILS I DON'T LOSE TOO MUCH"

Strawman is an on-line investing club that is dedicated to improving thinking about share research. Ideas are shared without ego, anger or pumping. It's about putting your thoughts down in writing to clarify and crystalize the thinking behind your investment thesis which can be shared and peer-reviewed on Strawman.

Michael Dee is the CEO and founder of Pythagoras Investing. This episode was recorded on Tuesday June 2, 2020 and Michael gives his overview of economic and share market recovery - which won't necessarily be synchronised. This interview came about after 2 conversations. During the recent COVID lockdown I was speaking with Evan McQuire who was unremittingly gloomy about the economy and therefore the effects on markets. Straight after I spoke with Michael who is not so negative, explaining why he thinks that markets and the economy are not necessarily going to move in the same direction.

How does a virologist become a fund manager? What can a scientist bring to investment markets? The biggest stock on the Australian market is in health care - CSL. This sector has hit the news recently for obvious reasons. It's an area that merits further study for those keen to learn about markets. We're all health care consumers in one way or another and the sector covers everything from health supplements to novel drug developments, devices, hospitals and the big pharma companies. Bianca joined me to talk about this sector and her 3-D view of the industry.

Some people invest in managed funds, some work as a fundie. A few brave souls create their own fund from the ground up. In this episode we hear from Matt Joass as he shares his insights into the inner workings of the industry, fast-growing kiwi start-ups and traps to watch out for. Matt’s ideal investment is a small, fast-growing business, that is capital-light, with demand- and supply-side competitive advantages, high returns on incremental invested capital, little analyst coverage, deeply aligned management (typically founders), and that are top-dogs or first-movers in an emerging and important industry. Lastly, the company must be trading at a discount to Matt’s estimate of intrinsic value.

I've partnered with the Australian Shareholders' Association to create a new podcast - The Equity Investor Journey. Here's an episode that I think you will enjoy by way of introduction. The ASA is a fantastic organisation that lobbies for the interests of shareholders as well as providing a wealth of investing education.

This episode features Steve Mabb, a successful businessman turned full-time investor and now an ASA company monitor. In this episode he talks about how he uses ASX-listed ETFs to gain exposure to companies that aren’t listed directly on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

Our stock market is currently dominated by miners and banks. Great companies for sure — but unlikely to exceed the pace of growth of some of the “new economy” companies listed overseas in the years and decades ahead. As an Australian investor who wants exposure to international technology and real diversification, Steve describes the ETFs that he has invested in to widen his international exposure.

Here's a link to the blog post for this episode with some more insights into the ETFs that we discussed - https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/equity and here's a link to The Equity Investor Journey Podcast - https://www.australianshareholders.com.au/podcasts

Mark Tobin has been passionate about finding "undiscovered" microcap stocks ever since he began his career as an equity analyst in Sydney. He's been hooked on uncovering these hidden gems and following their story and evolution. In spite of his obvious non-Australian accent and calling from South Africa, Mark has his finger firmly on the pulse of the smallest end of the ASX. He was a pleasure to chat with and I hope to get him back on. I still have so many questions and we only had a limited time to chat.

I think a lot of people are becoming tired of the constant news about "The Virus" and the effects on the markets. That's why I needed a change of pace. A refresher, if you will. I wanted to go back to first principles and show an example of what the share market is really all about - the allocation of capital to fund innovations that may change the way we do things and make all our lives better.

That's why I've been wanting to interview Andrew for a while. He's the Chief Technology Officer and founder of Hazer. Here's an example of a company developing a disruptive technology in the industrial sector. In an era of decarbonisation, Hazer is developing processes that can take carbon out of the system and store and transport renewable energy.

Looking beyond the noise - with a special bonus bark of optimism from Bear the Studio Pooch.

Market update recorded at 9am March 18, 2020. Should you be edging back into the market now? Maybe, maybe not. Picking the bottom is impossible and if you wait for the coast to be clear, markets will have already taken off. There are no easy answers.

Rob Gilmour was my guest on the first ever episode of Shares for Beginners. He kindly dropped in to share his thoughts on the current market turmoil and some optimism about the future.

Is this your first global share market meltdown?

I generally talk about markets in broad brush strokes. This is not a news podcast but I know there's a lot of anxiety around at the moment. Hence this episode. Blog post for this episode - https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/situation-normal.

Tony & I recorded this on Wednesday March 11 after the Australian market dropped ~20% over the last 2 weeks. As I write this at 8:30am on Thursday March 12, Wall St has fallen another 6% overnight. Things are getting ugly. But as Tony points out this is situation normal.

The problems are caused by the corona virus and the price of crude oil. Rob Gilmour, who you may remember from the first episode of this podcast, dropped around and gave a brief overview about what's happening with oil and why it matters. It's right at the end of the episode after Tony.

TONY KYNASTON is a multi-millionaire professional investor. Thanks to the checklist system he developed, the average return on his portfolio over the last 20 years has been 19.5% pa. Tony's knowledge and calm analysis takes the guesswork (and trauma) out of share market investing.

When we think of shares we generally think of single companies that are listed on the stock market. This is not always the case. Some shares allow you to access investments that are generally beyond the scope of individual investors. Such is the case with Bailador – ASX:BTI, a specialist investor in growth stage information technology businesses. I am pleased to welcome our guest David Kirk, co-founder & partner.

David is the former Chief Executive of ASX-listed Fairfax Media Ltd., where he led the successful investment into a number of internet businesses including Fairfax’s acquisition of Trade Me and Stayz. He has been a growth stage investor in technology-based businesses since 1999. He's Chairman of ASX-listed Trade Me Group Limited and Kathmandu Holdings Limited, Chairman of Forsyth Barr Limited, a privately-owned New Zealand investment firm, and a Director of each of DocsCorp, SMI, Viostream and Rezdy.

Prior to entering the corporate world, David enjoyed a highly successful rugby career, captaining the All Blacks to win the World Cup in 1987.

Today I’m chatting with Chris Tate from the Trading Game. Chris has seen all types of markets and traded practically every instrument available, and if you don’t know what an instrument is in financial terms, you’ll find out in this episode. Many of my guests use fundamental analysis to value companies and come up with their investment strategy. But we can’t ignore the other approach which is known as technical analysis.

Tony Kynaston is a former senior executive of companies like Coles and Shell. He started investing in the stock market 30 years ago and developed a simple checklist methodology (by studying people like Warren Buffett) that allowed him to retire from his corporate career at age 43 and become a professional investor. And he’s done pretty well since then. The average return on his portfolio over the last 20 years has been 19.5% per annum – double the ASX index. QAV stands for QUALITY AT VALUE. Tony's approach is to use a checklist to find companies that are performing well (quality) but which can also be bought at a discount (value). It's basically what is usually called "value investing".

Andrew is Dictator-for-Life at the Strawman Investment Club. This is a great little community where like-minded investors share research and investing ideas. Strawman is a social network and collaborative platform for private investors. It crowdsources research and recommendations on ASX listed companies, drawing on a broad network of experienced contributors.

Andrew discusses company research, why he's not a fan of technical analysis and his checklist for investors. There's a lot more.

I received a listener question from Greg W who asked: "A lot of people say do your own research. The problem is knowing where to start with said research. What kind of information should I be looking for and where do I find it?"

Andrew gives us some great info on how to start your research journey.

Kyle Macintyre is an Investment Specialist at Firetrail. He and the team left Macquarie Bank to start their own fund – to identify and invest in quality Australian shares that are unloved by the market. We talk about the examples of Telstra (ASX:TLS) and Downer EDI (ASX:DOW). They are great case studies to show what goes into a thorough valuation of a company. It's a serious dive into fundamental analysis.

Link to the blog post https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/kyle-macintyre-firetrail-investments

"THE BIGGEST DECISION YOU MAKE WHEN YOU INVEST IN A COMPANY IS THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR THAT COMPANY".

When you buy a property you do a lot of research into what you think it's worth. The price you pay determines all of the numbers into the future representing your capital gain and your income. It's the same when you buy a share. The price you pay determines everything about that investment.

I really enjoyed chatting with Kyle and his very honest and open views on what makes a great stock pick for the long term.

Fiona Balzer is the Policy & Advocacy Manager of the Australian Shareholders’ Association. The ASA is an independent, not-for-profit association for individual investors.

Link to the blog post https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/fiona-balzer-australian-shareholders-association

Buying a share means that you are buying a part of the company. This also gives you the right to go to the Annual General Meeting to ask questions of management, vote on resolutions and generally make a noise if you are not happy with the company’s performance.

At the ASA I’ve met some great people with a wealth of knowledge. The members are deeply engaged. They take the time to explore every nook and cranny of a company’s operation. They have meetings, discussion groups, seminars and workshops where you can meet and learn. They also take a leading role in holding companies to account.

This is a bonus episode about a great project that’s been running since March, with workshops still available during September, October & November, 2019.

It’s called Own Your Own Financial Future – a project dedicated to empowering women over 55 to build confidence in financial decision making.

These are free workshops geared towards women who’ve never been involved in managing their own finances and investments.

They are being run by the Australian Shareholders Association. Fiona Balzer from the ASA is my guest in the next episode, but I think it’s worthwhile releasing our discussion as a separate story. It is worth thinking about the particular challenges faced by women in this category.

So if you find that any of this resonates with you, or if you know someone who would benefit, find out more at https://australianshareholders.com.au/fin-lit-project

Places are available for workshops in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Adelaide, Mt Gambier, Bathurst, Dubbo, Katoomba, North Coast NSW, Armidale & Tamworth. My apologies to listeners outside these areas but it may be worth a listen. It will get you thinking about you and your loved ones.

The workshops will help you:

  • cut through finance and investing jargon
  • understand a financial plan
  • clarify options for managing your super
  • help you discuss your financial goals
  • check that your estate is in order
  • learn how to source and engage with a professional adviser
  • develop confidence to talk to the financial professionals and family

Julian McCormack is from Platinum Asset Management. As a young guy on the road he developed what he called "The Value Investing Contrarian Thing". Julian spoke about this and Platinum’s approach to investment management. They identify and invest in companies they believe to be undervalued. His case study is the German car company BMW. I want you to pay attention to some of the concepts he talks about. There’s Price Earnings Ratio which is one of the basic ways of valuing a company and also book value. This is not a recommendation to run out and buy shares in BMW. This is purely an exercise in valuing a company for you to learn from. There's also a great listener question from McKenzie Battye-Smith.

We discuss:

How the actual mechanics of share trading haven’t really changed for many decades even though paper share certificates and graph paper aren't used any more.

Own a share and you own a part of a company.

How easy it can be to get caught up in hype around a share.

The classic text about share trading - Reminisces of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre a thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore who was one of the greatest share traders ever.
