Get Invested: Danielle Ecuyer on 'Shareplicity' - a simple approach to share investing

if you’re looking for more clarity and confidence on how to invest in shares and equities in all of its myriad forms, today’s guest Danielle Ecuyer is your perfect compliment.

Danielle has been actively involved in the share market for four decades.

Beginning her career as an equities analyst and advisor, she held senior roles in large investment firms in both Australia and the UK. 

And for the past 12 years she’s been a private investor where her main income source is derived from her own investments – she walks her talk! 

Danielle has recently published her best selling book 'Shareplicity' - a simple approach to share investing, which could be described as the share equivalent of my property book, 'The Freedom Formula'.

Together you have the complete guide to safe and affordable investing across shares and property. 

Danielle has distilled her years of global share market experience into this handy guide to share market investing. 

In Shareplicity, she takes the complexity out of share investing, explains concepts simply and in plain english, and provides go-to steps to help you start or improve your investing.

In this respect, Shareplicity is a great way to better understand share investing basics as well as the changing dynamics of share investing that we’ll now experience during the upcoming extended period of lower for longer interest rates. 

As I hear about a lot of first time investors jumping on the share market band wagon without any clear understanding of what they are doing, Shareplicity is very timely in that it will give you some great insights on how to manage the challenge of the opportunities and risks of investing in times of radical uncertainty moving forward.

Using her great book as a guide, our discussion today reveals great answers to many of your share investing questions including:

1. Where do you need to start with share investing and what steps should you take?
2. What are the biggest mistakes that most equities investors make?
3. What makes a winning share?
4. How should you decide which shares to buy?
5. And how can investors build the best portfolio to suit them?

There is no doubt that at the time of recording this episode, we’re living in unprecedented and unchartered times for investors as we continue to work through the ongoing challenges that have arisen out of the recent pandemic. 

However, the themes we discuss today and those that are outlined and reinforced in both of our books The Freedom Formula and Shareplicity still hold true and have proudly passed the COVID-19 test.

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s not to become complacent with our money or our investing and with great change comes great opportunity.

So if you want to profit from the mother of all investment opportunities and the rare once in a generation window of opportunity that is going to emerge from these times, then grab yourself a copy of Danielle’s book – I found it an easy and engaging read.
