    Jermaine McDonald: What Most Investors Learn Too Late

    Jermaine McDonald, co-founder of Learn Grow Invest, joins Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms to talk investing, the Jamaica Stock Exchange and the lessons that shaped his approach to building wealth. Jermaine shares how he went from a J$2 million negative net worth to becoming an investor and educator, the mistakes he made early on, how FOMO affected his decisions, and why losing money eventually forced him to learn how to invest properly. We also get into his current approach to the market, including why he only holds four stocks, why he no longer believes in simply buying and holding forever, and how he separates the bull case from the bear case when analysing a company. The conversation also covers FESCO, RPL, Image Plus, JetCon, Indies Pharma, TransJamaica and other JSE stocks, including growth, valuation, investor sentiment and what can cause an investment thesis to change. Jermaine also explains the responsibility that comes with talking about stocks publicly, including the surprising story of someone who bought a stock simply because he smiled while discussing it. 🎧 Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com 🐥 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod 📷 Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ 💲 Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! ❓ What is the biggest lesson you have learned from losing money in the stock market? ⚠️ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    Seprod's 5-for-1 Split: Is the Market Missing the Real Story?

    SEPROD has put a five-for-one stock split, a major increase in authorized shares and the possibility of an Additional Public Offer on the table. Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms break down what the announcement could mean for SEPROD shareholders and what the company may be preparing to do next. We look at SEPROD's history of using cash and shares for acquisitions, the possibility of another major deal, dilution, debt repayment and how much capital the company could theoretically raise. At the upper end of the share capacity discussed in the episode, the numbers become enormous, potentially enough to fund an acquisition approaching the size of SEPROD itself. Is the stock split mainly about making SEPROD more accessible to investors, or is it part of a much bigger plan? 🎧 Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com 🐥 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod 📷 Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ 💲 Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! ❓ What do you think SEPROD is raising capital for: an acquisition, debt reduction, expansion, or something else? ⚠️ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    The Truth About Dividend Investing: Is It Really Worth It?

    Are dividends really the passive-income machine investors make them out to be? 📈💵 In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Thaon Simms and Dr. Matthew Preston break down the truth about dividend investing, from dividend yields and taxes to capital gains, bonds, portfolio size, and the amount of money you may actually need before dividends materially change your life. The hosts explore why a great dividend yield on a small portfolio can still produce relatively little cash 💸, why dividends are never guaranteed, and why investors need to consider total return instead of focusing only on income. They also discuss dividend investing on the Jamaica Stock Exchange 🇯🇲, using companies such as TransJamaican Highway, Carreras, NCB Financial Group, Jetcon and others as examples.

    These Jamaican Stocks Look Cheap — But the Market May Be Right

    🎙️ Ryan Strachan returns for Part 2 with Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms for a wide-ranging conversation on Jamaica’s stock market, investing, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation. 📈 Why are many Jamaican financial institutions trading at relatively low valuations? 🏦 Ryan argues that the market may be sending a message: banks and investment firms need to become more aggressive about M&A, investment banking, dealmaking, and creating new revenue streams.
