Equity Mates Investing Podcast

Bryce and Alec talk to a guest who's an expert in a range of thematics that are frequently talked about in the Equity Mates community, so we’re hoping it’s going to be a really valuable conversation. The guys are joined by Claude Walker, who's the founder of A Rich Life and writes the Ethical Equities column for this publication. Claude specialises in assessing the efficiency and health of management teams, and scouring smaller, unloved and ignored micro-caps because, as Claude himself has said: ‘the market is much less efficient at the small end.’ They take a deep dive into these questions during their conversation, and look at some of the small caps Claude himself has a close eye on at the moment.Pre order the book on Booktopia or Amazon now. If you want to let Alec or Bryce know what you think of an episode, contact them here.  Some of our favourite resources and offers to help you during your journey:$50-$200 OFF some amazing investing courses by our friend-of-the-show, OwenTrack your investment portfolio with Sharesight.Get a free stock when you sign-up to Stake, using the code EQUITYMATESGet exclusive access to our favourite data and insights platform, TIKRTake the emotion out of investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold and Silver with micro-investing app, Bamboo.

The purpose of this episode is to really encourage you, no matter what approach you take, to think more about your super. Much like investing generally, there is no perfect way to manage your super. The important thing is that you think about it and make an informed decision. After all, you start getting super the moment you start working, so paying attention to it early will have serious benefits over the long-term. Bryce and Alec look at some of the stats that surprise them, think about how they might optimise their own super, passive fees that might be eating away at your capacity to earn serious money, and take a look at the offering from today's sponsor - Superhero. This episode was brought to you by Superhero Super 1 in 3 under 45 rarely or never check their superannuation, even though for many of us it will be the largest asset we will have outside of our own home. This is a statistic that Superhero is determined to change. Superhero Super offers customers the ability to choose how their super is invested, without the need for an SMSF.

The US Reporting season is well and truly upon us, and all the big tech companies are holding their earnings calls. Despite being such a rich source of information for retail investors, earnings calls have been hard for the average person to access - they’re hard to find, and often at really unfortunate times. Thankfully, Quartr has solved this problem, and now allows the average investor to eavesdrop on these huge earnings calls. In today’s episode they cover four of the big US tech companies - hearing from Twitter, Facebook, Snap, and Square (who talks about their very important APT acquisition).This episode has been proudly sponsored by Quartr.

Here at Equity Mates, it's no secret that our goal is to make markets accessible and to give companies the opportunity to speak directly to retail investors. For way too long direct contact has been difficult for retail investors to get access to, so it's why we decided to launch this new series - Retail Investor earnings call - where instead of analysts, we have retail investors asking the questions to the companies we know and love!Our first guest for this series is a long-term friend and previous guest of the show - Larry Diamond. Larry is the CEO and co-founder of Zip (ASX: Z1P), and in this conversation Bryce and Alec ask him the questions you helped put together - in our Equity Mates Facebook Discussion Group.
