Stocks for Beginners

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.

How is your Roth 401 (k) or 401 (k) investment retirement account linked to the stock market? It’s crucial to understand the fundamentals of stock markets. I recommend “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett’s newsletters.

I explore the basics - what a stock is and how to buy one, and delve into the world of value investing, exploring strategies to identify undervalued stocks. I cover the NYSE, FTSE, Dow Jones, S&P500, the Russell, CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange), ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), Mutual Funds, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), and 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, the difference between fundamental and technical analysis.

Tracking your investments is essential, and it’s important to know about watchlists, understand dividends, robo-investing, dollar-cost averaging, fixed income, index funds, and micro-investing.

What is the role of stockbrokers and online brokers and how to buy and sell stocks.

I’ve interviewed industry experts and collaborated with Gary Brode, Caleb Silver, Spencer Jakab from Wall Street Journal, Erik Smolinski, Investopedia, Stockopedia, Lawrence Carel, Deep Knowledge Investing, 2 bulls in a china shop.

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/
