Description
We're all investors in the share market, either directly or through our superannuation. We're handing over management of our assets to financial advisors and fund managers. The best will look after our interests and make us wealthier. But how can we know for sure? Where do you go if you're completely new but want to start learning about investing in the markets yourself. The jargon is dense and it can feel like we're being kept deliberately in the dark. In Shares for Beginners, you'll hear from people in the finance industry and together we'll explain key concepts of investing in the ASX, the NASDAQ, S&P500, FTSE and Dow. More importantly, they have insights that allow us to look under the hood of the stock market, explaining how it works and what to look out for. We have to be smart. We have to be diversified and we have to have good risk management strategies if we want to invest for the long term.

How is your superannuation linked to the Australian & US stock markets? It's crucial to understand the fundamentals of stocks and shares, and recommend reading "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.
I explore the basics - what a share is and how to buy one, and delve into the world of value investing, exploring strategies to identify undervalued stocks. I cover key terms like ASX (Australian Securities Exchange), CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange), ASX200 (Australian Securities Exchange 200 Index), ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), LICs (Listed Investment Companies), Managed Funds, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), as well as the difference between passive and active investing.
There are many traps for beginner investors and it's good to be aware of the role and risks of options, warrants, CFDs (Contracts for Difference), day trading, bonds, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the difference between fundamental and technical analysis.
Tracking your investments is essential, and it's important to know about watchlists, understand dividends and dividend reinvestment plans (DRPs), while exploring robo-investing, fixed income, index funds, and micro-investing.
I cover topics like trading and buying shares, making money from shares, and understanding the Australian stock exchange. What is the role of stockbrokers and online brokers and how to buy and sell shares.
I've interviewed industry experts and collaborated with Superhero, Stockspot, Caleb Silver Investopedia, Spencer Jakab from The Wall Street Journal, Pearler, Sharesight, Magellan, Saxo, Morningstar, QAV, Equity Mates, Owen Rask, Strawman, Motley Fool, Stockopedia, Betashares, Vanguard, Van Eck, Roger Montgomery, Tony Kynaston, Gemma Dale, Betsy Westcott, Molly Benjamin, Liz Tian, Andrew Baxter, Simon Ree, Wisr, Ladies Finance Club, Strong Money Australia, Captain Fi, Fred Schebesta, Kylie Purcell, Australian Shareholders' Association, Jessica Amir, Jordan Eliseo, Shani Jayamanne, Vic Jokovic, Scott Phillips, Mark Monfort, Andrew Page, and Claude Walker.

My guest this week is Jason Segal, the Armchair Analyst. Jason covers the biotech and small-cap stock sector. Jason defines the "bet" for each company: how investors make money at the current price, plus the risks. The U.S. market dominates due to FDA approvals and high drug sales. Companies license rights elsewhere but hold U.S. rights for big payoffs.

My guest this week is Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium Corporation. Thomas brings a unique background to the table—he started in classics and law before diving into mining. We discussed his journey from building a gold producer in Mexico to leading uranium projects in the US after a pivot from Niger due to a military coup. Thomas explained the uranium sector's dynamics. The world produces about 160 million pounds annually but consumes 200 million, with stockpiles dwindling. This drives prices from $30 to $75 per pound. Kazakhstan leads production at 43%, while the US consumes 50 million pounds but produces under 1 million. Australia hosts the largest deposit at Olympic Dam.

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".More info at https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/kynastonTONY 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 you’re ready to go beyond ETFs, learn from the master - Tony Kynaston’s QUALITY AT VALUE.

My guest this week is Richard Hemming from Under the Radar Report. He shares three key investing lessons from his experience investing in small caps on the ASX. Richard starts with diversification. He stresses its importance in small caps due to higher volatility. Under the Radar limits any stock to 10% of a portfolio. They hold 14 to 20 stocks in flagship portfolios and 14 to 16 in dividend ones. Richard buys small positions first—1% or 2%—and builds to 5%. If it hits 10%, he takes profits.As friends of Shares for Beginners, Under the Radar Report is happy to offer listeners 10% off our products.

My guest this week is James Gruber, editor of Firstlinks and a veteran of Asian markets with a background in journalism and funds management. We dive into his contrarian views on dividend stocks and gold's role in portfolios. Our discussion stems from James's article "Why I Dislike Dividend Stocks." He drew from David Gardner of Motley Fool, who achieved seven 100-baggers—stocks returning 100 times or more. Gardner held Amazon from 1997 and Nvidia from 2005, both up over 1,000 times.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/james-gruber-firstlinksWatch on YouTube right here.📈 CHECK OUT THESE INVESTING TOOLS: 🌎 Level up your investing with Sharesight, Investopedia’s #1 portfolio tracker for DIY investors.
