We're all investors in the stock market, either directly or through our retirement plans. 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 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. The jargon is dense and it can feel like we're being kept deliberately in the dark with many confusing metrics.
In Stocks for Beginners you'll hear from people in the finance industry and together we'll explain the key concepts of investing while they share their financial knowledge. 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. That's what I'm all about. I'm Phil Muscatello. Join me on Stocks for Beginners. For more information go to https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/

    Anmol Singh - Live Traders | Getting off the emotional rollercoaster

    Anmol Singh - Live Traders | Getting off the emotional rollercoaster

    How can investors suspend their emotions and reactions while riding the waves of a volatile stock market. In this episode I'm joined by successful Trader, Entrepreneur, and Author, Anmol Singh.
    At just 22 years old, Anmol worked tirelessly to move to America on his own. He eventually saved enough money by teaching himself to trade in his dorm room at Brunel University London. Amol always aspired to be something great and through trading learned the life-changing powers of emotional control, self-trust, and personal integrity. Successful traders are used to having a checklist, they're used to following a process, unemotionally. And doing it every single time.
    Anmole talks about figuring Out “Why” Before Stepping Into The Trading Arena:
    Why Knowing Your Reason For Investing Is Key To Success. Deciding What’s Right For You: Are You A Short Term Or Long Term Trader? Getting Off The Emotional Rollercoaster: How To Watch The Stock Market Change Without Letting Your Emotions Get The Best Of You

    Charlie McCain - Harbor Capital | ETFs disrupting the funds industry

    Charlie McCain - Harbor Capital | ETFs disrupting the funds industry

    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. Charlie is the chief executive officer of Harbor Capital Advisors
    For over 35 years, Harbor has served as a gateway for clients to access talented, institutional caliber asset managers through active, cost-aware investments.

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

    Erik 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.

Great for Beginning Stock Traders

Lots of great information. As a beginner I often have to listen twice, that’s fine with me, learning at my own pace!

johncannizz ,

John from NJ

Phil’s podcast has been extremely insightful. I am new to investing and he is shining a light on things I had no clue about. I really appreciate the way he takes the time to explain things in terms the novices can understand. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in stocks

rkmagik ,

Great educational resource

This is a great educational resource for anyone looking to understand the realities of the financial markets.

He had me on his podcast as a guest and I was really impressed with his goals and motivation for what he intends to provide his listeners.

Philip asks great questions and directs his guests towards what is most important and valuable for his listeners, not on massaging egos with his guests.

This podcast is genuinely focused on truly providing valuable insights that help listeners discern the truths of the market versus the hype and how to make the market actually work to their benefit.

Philip is one of the most authentic people you’ll know in the industry.

He genuinely cares about his listeners wellbeing in the markets and wants to help those interested in the markets to avoid the pitfalls and common traps people experience.
