"It's 30 plus degrees underground, a hundred percent humidity, the air is saturated, and you breathe out, like steam in the morning. The underground is soaking hot, because the air can't take any more moisture."Matthew Hodge is the Director of Equity Research for Morningstar Australasia. He is a mining analyst who started out working in the industry but soon realised he was too soft for the harsh working conditions.

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!Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/vince-scully-life-sherpaTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

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.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/stockopedia-chris-batchelorPortfolio tracker Sharesight records your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/coffee-microcapsTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

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.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/irvineaug23Tony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

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 policiesFull episode available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/saxomarketsTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

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.”Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/arichlife2023Phil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloAre you picking shares on gut instinct, buying on press tips or rumour?

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.Episode link: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/rob-gilmour-wealth-simplicityPhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/stockopediaelioPhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloAre you picking shares on gut instinct, buying on press tips or rumour?

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.Here's a link to the episode blog post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/hodgePhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

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 problem. The Federal Reserve warned Silicon Valley Bankcorp last year, expressing their concern. Warnings ignored, the results catastrophic.Find out more about Gary Brode and Deep Knowledge Investing at https://deepknowledgeinvesting.com/subscribe-now/Get access to DKI premium content and information for one week.

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."Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ulyssesPhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.Tony previously appeared on Shares for Beginners here, here and here.

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.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/valuepunksPhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.“The other thing I would encourage listeners to think about is if Phil, you own Apple shares or Microsoft or Tesla, anything that's denominated in another currency, in this case US dollars, cuz you're buying it on the NASDAQ or you're buying it on the Dow, or you're buying a stock over in Germany or you know with the Euro, you are already a Forex trader, you are already exposed to currency.”Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/harviePhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Superannuation represents about a fifth of the net worth of Australian households. There’s over $2.2 trillion invested in super growing at $100 billion every quarter. Choosing the right superannuation fund is one of the most significant financial decisions you will ever have to make. The choices are mind-boggling. Joining me in this episode is Vince Scully from Life Sherpa.“It's the curse of too much choice. It's like logging into Netflix, it takes you longer to choose which movie to watch than actually watching it. And that's where default and stapling came in. It's the play something for me Netflix don't make me make a choice, but there are so many pluses to actually making a choice. But how do you make a choice if you don't have the knowledge?”Link to Life Sherpa: Get More Life From Your Money | Life Sherpa®Link to blog post: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/lifesherpa2023Phil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloShares for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.
