S1 Ep 188Preston Yadegar - Shareholder Vote Exchange

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.

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."

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.

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.

S1 Ep 164Michael Kemp - The Ulysses Contract | Avoiding the rocks of investing under-performance

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.

S1 Ep 158Gary Brode - Deep Knowledge Investing | SVB Overdrawn and underfunded

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.

S1 Ep 156Spencer Jakab from the Wall Street Journal | The Revolution That Wasn't

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.

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.

S1 Ep 148Erik Smolinski - esInvests | The Depth of the Frailty of My Investing Plan

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.

S1 Ep 146Value Punks | Value investing - not as easy as Warren Buffett makes it seem.

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.
