Welcome back to the Investing for Beginners Podcast! In today's episode, "303," we delve into four intriguing listener questions shared with us via Spotify. One of our listeners, Jason, has $10,000 to invest in the stock market and seeks advice on which stock to buy and how to spread it out. We tackle this question head-on in a discussion between Andrew and Dave, emphasizing the importance of learning to fish instead of relying on others for stock recommendations. They suggest starting with our show as a great educational resource, but also provide practical tips on how to spread out investments and mitigate risk. They advise diversifying holdings while remaining mindful of potential returns. Dave recommends investing a portion in an S&P 500 ETF or index fund to dip one's toes into the market. Additionally, he suggests choosing a couple of companies to invest in, preferably familiar ones, to gain insight into individual stock ownership. The goal is to learn and adapt while understanding the dynamic nature of the market. Both hosts stress the value of education and self-discovery in the investment journey. Join us as we explore this listener question and delve into the world of investing with a prudent mindset. Stay tuned!
