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.

Are capital markets more of a simulation than reality?

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. Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/dawsonPlease consider a small donation if you'd like to support my work educating and entertaining new investors in the stock market.Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

What is the season of life you’re in and how are you going to put your financial house in order? Robert Farrington is the founder of The College Investor the #1 tool to help get people out of student loan debt, learn how to earn more money, understand how to start investing and build real wealth. In this Quick Tip Robert explains how it’s not about searching for a big win in the stock market, but implementing long-term, incremental changes."What's gonna make a big difference in your life is consistently investing over time and putting as much money as you possibly can into your investments. And then, if you can just get the market rate of return 10% a year, you are going to be solid by the time you're getting close to retirement, and, if you start this whole process when you're 20 years old 22 years old, you're going to be solid by the time you're 35. That's really the name of the game. It's not about what you invest in, it's not about picking stocks, it is about how much you can possibly get into your investment accounts as early as you physically can."Thanks for the wonderful conversation, Robert.

My guest today helped to found the first African American owned AI ETF on the New York Stock Exchange.The median net worth for Black households is currently $24K, compared to $188K for white households, according to McKinsey and Company. This massive wealth disparity reflects a long history of racism, including lack of access to education, financial services, and barriers to ownership. Mario Payne believes that technology can be used to fix structural problems that have plagued the Black community for hundreds of years. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform financial services and equity ownership. Mario made history in February 2022. The company he co-owns, launched the first African American owned AI ETF on the New York Stock Exchange. The symbol is LETB. The goal of this fund is to limit investment losses while maximizing gains. Mario generously shared his views on maximising income, getting started in the market, and some tips on learning about investing.Find out more at the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/toamsand: @Toamsfinancial on the socials, www.toamsfinancial.com/ and letbob www.letbobetfs.com and www.letbob.com. Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

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.Find out more at the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/sharpand: https://www.davidmauricesharp.com/Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

How can we judge whether fear or greed is prevailing in a stock, ETF or index? It's not something that is shown by studying company reports. Some say that fundamental analysis helps you to know what to buy and technical analysis tells you when to buy (or sell as the case may be). Technical analysis uses price and volume alone, and assumes that everything we need to know is embodied in the chart. These charts are used to help identify patterns and trends that may give signals of possible future price movements.David Keller, CMT is Chief Market Strategist at StockCharts.com, where he helps investors minimize behavioural biases through technical analysis. He is a frequent host on StockCharts TV, and he relates mindfulness techniques to investor decision-making in his blog, The Mindful Investor.Find out more at the blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/kellerand: https://stockcharts.com/Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Greed, fear, euphoria, despair, over-confidence and regret. These are the greatest emotional obstacles in the way of stock market investing according to my guest Dr Stanley Teitelbaum.

Demystifying and overcoming these personal obstacles, along with acquiring and implementing several well-tested strategies can facilitate a greater degree of success.Full episode available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/teitelbaumPortfolio 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.

Risk management is crucial in investing. Keith Smith is a former army engineer and a portfolio manager at Bonhoeffer Capital Management. In this Quick Tip, Keith describes how he manages risk like an engineer. Obviously, engineers are very interested in managing risk. I mean, you don't want that plane falling out of the sky."I think the real aspect from the engineering perspective is just the approach. I mean, engineering, you're taught a lot about margin of safety. The other thing that I did when I was in the air force is I was working on a satellite that was designed to live through a nuclear war. And one of the departments that I worked in was sort of survivability, which in essence, was the ability of basically the system to survive that. So you design a lot of margin in there. So basically what you're trying to do in terms of looking for investments, you're trying to look for investments that have a margin of safety. If things don't turn out the way you expect, you're not gonna lose a lot of money, but if things do turn out the way you expect, you can get some really nice upside."

In the US alone, the ETF sector has exploded into a $5 trillion industry. The number of funds has blossomed, which means that there are many funds that offer increasing specificity and focus. Thematic ETFs aim to isolate a target niche of the market. They can be narrow or relatively broad in scope. Many offer exposure to sectors that have been previously unavailable to retail investors. And often they are created to respond to investing fashions.In this Quick Tip, Morningstar Product Manager Mark Lamonica explains how thematic ETFs can often be compared to the telegraph (the Victorian Internet), railroads and fibre optics. At the time they had a compelling story, but the businesses that benefited from them were not necessarily the ones providing them. I love hearing strongly held opinions and it's worthwhile for beginners to understand that you are often being marketed to, rather than being provided with options to increase your investment returns.The complete episode and blog post can be found here: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/morningstarPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Dion Pouncil believes that energy management, managing your thoughts, managing your words, managing your actions, managing your emotions, and acquiring knowledge, are the keys to becoming wealthier. Being a sponge for data. Being a consistent winner, having more than you spend, comes from the repetition of principles. That's why certain athletes, when they get in business and they do learn, become successful because the same skill sets that it took them to become the professional level athletes can apply. Patience, self-control, discipline, work ethic, dedication and perseverance. One of my favourite parts of this interview is when Dion said "listen to the words". This means that even though you may not understand the language of investing, by constantly "listening to the words'. The language will become clear and you will begin to understand what's happening and how you can become a better investor.

Add to that some historical data and you would have needed 1.32 years of reading to catch up and see the subtle shift in the way that Netflix was spoken before it's stock price dropped. How much information do you need and how can you put it at your fingertips?Tyler Tucci is the head of research at SynerAI which runs Foliko an AI-powered platform for retail investors.

The best will look after our interests and make us wealthier. But how can we know for sure? Where are the investors' yachts? The big money on Wall Street is made by charging us fees. The finance industry is collecting for managing money, whether they win or lose or break even.Where do you go if you're completely new, but want to start learning about investing in the market yourself.

"No matter how much evidence exists that seers do not exist, suckers will pay for the existence of seers." - J. Scott Armstrong. Karl Kaufman is the resident expert at American Dream Investing helping ordinary investors who are ignored by Wall Street. Despite the fancy MBAs, predictive models, fancy suits and the big salaries, Wall Street analysts are woefully poor predictors of future events.
