The Cheeky Investor Podcast Gareth

Matt is a millennial from Australia trying to escape the 9-5 grind through financial independence. Despite being financially responsible through his younger years, it wasn’t until he read Rich Dad Poor Dad that a light bulb moment occurred.

From here he became obsessed about acquiring income producing assets so he could work towards F.I.R.E. Along the way he started a blogging website so others could follow his journey.

He’s now living in London with a net worth of $768,000 which is an incredible achievement by someone in his mid-30s.

In this podcast we talk in more detail about Matt’s investment portfolio including how he got it to where it is today. We also talk about how you can use the principles in the FIRE movement to start your own journey to financial independence.

Buy broken stocks, not broken companies. This is one of many quotes that Buffett has put into the world over his 90 year life.

And this applies now more than ever! Why? Because in the short term, the stock market is a popularity contest. At the moment, everyone is hyped about Apple, Tesla and in Australia it’s all about the Buy Now Pay Later Stocks

People are opting for the less sexy stocks and going after the shiny “hot stocks.” But it’s these less sexy stocks, that the professional investors love.

Case in point is Starbucks. In 1999, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of Starbucks shares, they’d be valued at $29,396 in 2019. Averaging an enormous marketing beating 17.47% return each year.

Ignoring tech stocks for the 20 years and investing in a coffee company doesn’t sound sexy, until you see the returns on offer.

In this episode, we talk through the parameters for finding bargain stocks as well as talking through a few companies we think will fit this criteria…..

Cash is king! When we look at what a company gives its shareholders as a return, it’s really only dividends. Buying low and selling high is great, but that’s assuming that you can sell it higher to another investor later on.

But dividends, they are paid annually and once banked, they can't be taken back. There is a growing movement of dividend investors in the world who are aiming to build a 6 figure income from dividend paying companies. And it’s entirely possible.

This episode we cover the basics of dividends as well as what to look for in the best companies so you know they will be paying you an income well into the future. We also cover off the dreaded dividend trap that so many new investors get caught in and how to avoid it!

"Follow the big money" is a saying in the investing world. Big funds don’t make decisions lightly and they have extensive research teams to help them make big decisions.

In just 4 months, the investment has gone up 100% effectively doubling their money. Anyone who followed the big money at the time, also would have had the same returns.
