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/

Benjamin Blakeman - The Oracle on Wilshire
Stocks for Beginners
11/29/20 • 30 min
“It always seemed to me to be much too difficult to analyse the fundamentals of whatever it was that you were trading, because there would always be people that knew so much more than could ever possibly know, and what they knew would somehow be reflected in the trading in the chart and you could see that.” Benjamin is a lawyer, stock trader and publisher of the newsletter The Oracle on Wilshire. A technical analyst he uses trends and patterns to determine movements in the stock market. His curiosity in financial markets began with the severing of the US dollar from the gold standard in 1971 by Richard Nixon sparking a fascination with commodities markets. Benjamin has previously worked as a financial adviser, and currently works as a lawyer with four decades of experience in life insurance litigation he is considered one of the preeminent lawyers in his field.

Stephen Leeb - Gold, As Good As...
Stocks for Beginners
03/29/21 • 29 min
Stephen Leeb, is author of China’s Rise and the New Age of Gold. He says that gold’s rise is just beginning. He thinks all investors, and younger Americans in particular, need to invest in gold to protect themselves against a falling dollar and a radically changing world economy. We spoke about:
What’s a commodity?
Why do developing countries need commodities?
How to buy gold – miners, ETFs or bullion.
What’s special about gold?
Why is the economic power of the US in jeopardy?
"Most of all the gold that this earth has inherited has already been mined and one remarkable statistic about gold is that whatever has been mined is probably still with us, it's not consumed, other commodities things that you touch, like copper like even silver, zinc, lead oil l is consumed, gold is not consumed."

Enrique Abeyta - Value Investing is a Death Cult
Stocks for Beginners
12/08/20 • 35 min
"Value investing is a death cult, it’s like cigarettes, based on negative information and playing to your fears, no value stock ever went up cause it was cheap it went up because it grew. They talk about Warren Buffett as a value investor but companies such as Coke and Apple have grown massively, so he is finding cheap growth stocks rather than value investing on its own."
Salty advice from the highly inked and rock-infused financial writer, hedge-funder and digital media mogul, Enrique Abeyta. There's much more great advice in this episode and a tribute to Malcom Young from AC/DC.
Enrique Abeyta is an Editor working for Empire Financial Research and Whitney Tilson https://www.empirefinancialresearch.com
He is also the co-founder and CEO of digital media and e-commerce company Project M Group LLC. Project M Group (founded in 2017) identifies large genres with passionate and highly engaged enthusiasts and then acquires digital media properties in those areas. Project M is the owner of both the #1 brand in tattooing (Inked Magazine) as well as the #1 brand in rock/metal music (REVOLVER Magazine). Enrique has been responsible for all aspects of the business including it’s creation, fund-raising, hiring, operations and business development.
