In the second episode of this two-part series, we welcome back Rune Østgård, a lawyer with a deep passion for monetary history and the author of "Fraudcoin: A Thousand Years with Inflation as a Policy" for a deeper dive into the nefarious world of monetary policy and inflation. Rune's explains the historical and ongoing manipulation of money supply by governments and central banks and sheds light on the often-overlooked roots of economic inequality. We explore the stark reality of how inflation has been weaponized throughout history, from Lenin and Stalin's Soviet Union to the deceptive stability of the gold standard. We unravel the intricate web of policies that not only create economic problems but also mask their true origins, leaving citizens to bear the brunt of these manipulations.Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/rune-ostgard-fraudcoin-02There’s a million ways to invest in the stock market.

Are you maximizing the value of your shareholder voting rights? It's a question many investors overlook, but it could be the key to unlocking additional income from your investments.Preston Yadegar is the founder and CEO of Shareholder Vote Exchange, the world's first marketplace for shareholder voting rights. Preston has previously worked at several investment advisors and hedge funds in trading and software engineering roles. He graduated from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in computer science and philosophy in 2020. We discuss proxy votes—what they are, how they work, and why they're often neglected by retail investors. Preston explains that while most shareholders have the right to vote, the majority don't exercise it, leading to what he terms 'rational shareholder apathy.' But should investors simply disregard these votes? Preston argues that there's value in these rights, and that selling them could benefit both the shareholder and the company.Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/preston-yadegar-shareholder-vote-exchangeDeep KnowIedge Investing empowers you to earn higher returns in the equity portion of your portfolio.

Have you ever considered the difference between small cap and large cap stocks? Small cap stocks are catching the attention of investors for a very good reason. Steven Cress, the head of quantitative strategies at Seeking Alpha, joined me on the podcast to shed some light on the smaller end of the market."One of the reasons why I find some of the small caps interesting is actually they have traded off so significantly compared to the large cap counterpart." Seeking Alpha are generously offering a 50% discount to listeners of this podcast, making it $189 for the first year instead of the regular $239 price. Try the premium plan for free for seven days.

THIS IS A REPEAT EPISODE FROM FEBRUARY - ENJOYING A SHORT BREAK AND BACK WITH A BRAND NEW EPISODE NEXT WEEK.What do exercise, the great outdoors and a healthy lifestyle have to with successful investing? Does the military prepare you for more than just battle? Joining me in this episode is Erik Smolinski from esInvests. Erik is a Marine veteran and self-made millionaire investor. He’s spent over 30,000+ hours honing his craft and outpacing the market for the last 14 years (22.8% CAGR). Erik maintains that there are many well-documented biases in traders and investors. They are covered in the following white paper. One of the things it talks about is how we like to cut winning trades short and we let losing trades run. It's because of ego. We like winning trades, we like being correct. That's why as soon as we have something that's in profit, we want to take it. It's a huge win for the ego.Erik's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/esInvestsLink to blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/esinvestsStocks for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.

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. Shawn likens it to the bores who only want to talk about their own importance in the workplace. Those will real influence are likely to not show off.We Study Markets is part of The Investor's Podcast Network, the home of the hugely popular We Study Billionaires podcast.This is part 2 of a 2 part interview with Shawn.

Casey Stubbs is best known for helping people to earn income from actively trading the market. But he's also a believer in putting wealth into longer term investments that will grow steadily over the long-term. According to Casey, long-term investing is a game-changer because it allows investments to grow and compound over time. He emphasizes that anyone, regardless of their initial capital, can begin investing. The key is consistency. By adhering to an investment strategy and continuously learning, individuals can steadily increase their wealth. Long-term investing isn't a quick path to riches; rather, it's a reliable approach to achieving financial stability and security.Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/casey-stubbs-trading-strategyStocks for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.

In this episode Phil and Karl Kaufman discuss the importance of free cash flow as a key metric for investors. Karl explains that free cash flow is the amount of cash left over after a company pays its expenses and capital expenditures. Unlike earnings, which can be manipulated, free cash flow provides a more accurate representation of a company's financial health. They emphasize that investing in stocks is not gambling, as investors are buying a piece of a real business with a long-term goal of getting a good return on their investment. They highlight companies like Apple and Broadcom, which have impressive free cash flow growth, and discuss the significance of free cash flow margin as a metric to understand how efficiently a company generates cash. Karl also shares insights on stock buybacks, dividends, and the emotional aspect of investing.More Karl at this link: American Dream Investing: Expert Stock Picks, Texted To Youhttps://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/adiaug2023Phil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloSharesight automatically track price, performance and dividends from 240,000+ global stocks, crypto, ETFs and funds.

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.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/ulyssesPhil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloThere’s a million ways to invest in stocks.

Silicon Valley Bankcorp failed spectacularly in March 2023. The bank, the regulators and the media formed a circle of finger-pointing and blame: In this interview Gary explains "duration risk". Duration risk refers to the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. In simple terms, duration risk is the risk that the value of a bond will decrease as interest rates rise. For a bank, this risk is significant, as bonds make up a significant portion of their portfolio. If a bank doesn't manage duration risk correctly, it can result in significant losses, as was the case with Silicon Valley Bankcorp. Gary notes that understanding duration risk is a fundamental concept in finance, and anyone in a finance-related role should know this. The Federal Reserve even contacted Silicon Valley Bankcorp last year, expressing their concern about the bank's bond portfolio. However, the bank ignored the warning, and the result was catastrophic.Here's a link to the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/dki042023Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.Find out more at the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/jakabHere's a link to the book: The Revolution That Wasn't: Gamestop, Reddit, and the Fleecing of Small Investors by Spencer Jakab (goodreads.com)Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

How can investors suspend their emotions and reactions while riding the waves of a volatile stock market. In this episode I'm joined by successful Trader, Entrepreneur, and Author, Anmol Singh.At just 22 years old, Anmol worked tirelessly to move to America on his own. He eventually saved enough money by teaching himself to trade in his dorm room at Brunel University London. Amol always aspired to be something great and through trading learned the life-changing powers of emotional control, self-trust, and personal integrity. Successful traders are used to having a checklist, they're used to following a process, unemotionally. And doing it every single time. Anmole talks about figuring Out “Why” Before Stepping Into The Trading Arena: Why Knowing Your Reason For Investing Is Key To Success.

ETFs are growing much more rapidly than mutual funds. In a sense they are a new and disruptive technology. Like the move from DVDs to streaming. ETFs can be bought and sold any time the market is open and they are fully transparent. You can see the holdings in real time. Mutual funds typically release their holdings on a 30 day lag to investors. Charlie McCain is my guest in this episode. He offers some great insights into how ETFs are constructed and how invesors can use them in their portfolios. Charlie is the chief executive officer of Harbor Capital AdvisorsFor over 35 years, Harbor has served as a gateway for clients to access talented, institutional caliber asset managers through active, cost-aware investments.

What do exercise, the great outdoors and a healthy lifestyle have to with successful investing? Does the military prepare you for more than just battle? Joining me in this episode is Erik Smolinski from esInvests. Erik is a Marine veteran and self-made millionaire investor. He’s spent over 30,000+ hours honing his craft and outpacing the market for the last 14 years (22.8% CAGR). Erik maintains that there are many well-documented biases in traders and investors. They are covered in the following white paper. One of the things it talks about is how we like to cut winning trades short and we let losing trades run. It's because of ego. We like winning trades, we like being correct. That's why as soon as we have something that's in profit, we want to take it. It's a huge win for the ego.Erik's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/esInvestsLink to blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/esinvestsStocks for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.

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.Find out more at the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/valuepunksHere are links to the substacks mentioned in the interview:1. https://valuepunks.substack.com/p/memo-value-punks-on-value-investing2. https://valuepunks.substack.com/p/international-investingGet the power of Wall Street for FREETIKR is the ultimate platform for individual investors who want to make better investing decisions.
