Stocks for Beginners

When too much Shawn is never enough. Here's part 2 of our chat. The highlight for me in this episode is the trap of vanity investing. It's when people talk about their investments as a way of showing how sophisticated they are. It's about bragging rights and commanding authority over the mere mortals who only want to invest in the boring old S&P500. Shawn likens it to the bores who only want to talk about their own importance in the workplace. Those will real influence are likely to not show off.We Study Markets is part of The Investor's Podcast Network, the home of the hugely popular We Study Billionaires podcast.This is part 2 of a 2 part interview with Shawn.

In this episode Phil and Karl Kaufman discuss the importance of free cash flow as a key metric for investors. Karl explains that free cash flow is the amount of cash left over after a company pays its expenses and capital expenditures. Unlike earnings, which can be manipulated, free cash flow provides a more accurate representation of a company's financial health. They emphasize that investing in stocks is not gambling, as investors are buying a piece of a real business with a long-term goal of getting a good return on their investment. They highlight companies like Apple and Broadcom, which have impressive free cash flow growth, and discuss the significance of free cash flow margin as a metric to understand how efficiently a company generates cash. Karl also shares insights on stock buybacks, dividends, and the emotional aspect of investing.More Karl at this link: American Dream Investing: Expert Stock Picks, Texted To Youhttps://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/adiaug2023Phil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloSharesight automatically track price, performance and dividends from 240,000+ global stocks, crypto, ETFs and funds.
