Episode notes

A lot of us have this idea that we should buy individual stocks, typically in brands that we know and we can identify with. But if you are just starting out, I would rather recommend that you start with a so-called ETF. Losing money is really a part of investing and the best way to train yourself is to first learn to cope with loss in general. For myself included, time is the biggest thing on our side when it comes to investing.

On today’s show, I talk with Stig Brodersen. Stig is Co-Founder and Co-Host of We Study Billionaires by The Investor’s Podcast Network, a best-selling author, and a former college professor. He has successfully grown We Study Billionaires to the #1 stock investing podcast in the world, while building a platform that is also a leading authority in stock investing.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

How to pick a brokerage company to invest with.
What stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, commodities, and options are.
Different investment strategies that can be implemented.
How to actually buy and sell stocks and funds.
How and why compounding is so important for millennial investors.
How to keep your emotions in check and set realistic expectations.
