#178 Brian Feroldi's Stock Picking Strategy to Beat the Market
•
Welcome to episode #177 of Stock Club by MyWallSt. In this episode, Michael O’Mahoney sat down with Brian Feroldi, a renowned stock picker and the author of "Why Does the Stock Market Go Up?"
We begin by unraveling the backstory of Brian's financial journey, influenced by his parents' investment missteps, which ignited his passion for finance. Our conversation also delves into the crucial role of a solid financial foundation, inspired by the teachings of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."
As we dig deeper, we explore how Brian's healthcare background uniquely shaped his path in the world of investments, shedding light on his transition from healthcare management to a thriving career in the medical device industry. Learn how his healthcare expertise provides a distinct advantage in the world of investing, and how Warren Buffet's concept of circular competence can be applied across various industries.
In the latter part of our discussion, Brian shares his invaluable investing checklists and overlooked metrics in making sound investment decisions. We explore investing in technology and healthcare stocks, his preferred financial commentators, the significance of valuations, and emerging megatrends.
