Have you ever considered the difference between small cap and large cap stocks? Small cap stocks are catching the attention of investors for a very good reason. Steven Cress, the head of quantitative strategies at Seeking Alpha, joined me on the podcast to shed some light on the smaller end of the market."One of the reasons why I find some of the small caps interesting is actually they have traded off so significantly compared to the large cap counterpart." Seeking Alpha are generously offering a 50% discount to listeners of this podcast, making it $189 for the first year instead of the regular $239 price. Try the premium plan for free for seven days.

THIS IS A REPEAT EPISODE FROM FEBRUARY - ENJOYING A SHORT BREAK AND BACK WITH A BRAND NEW EPISODE NEXT WEEK.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.Erik's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/esInvestsLink to blog post: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/esinvestsStocks for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.
