Have no fear though, we have some fresh ideas coming your way! To kick-off the competition we have Matt Leibowitz, the co-founder and CEO of Stake, joining us to give his insights on the current market...

When we sat down to chat with Brandon, who hosts the YouTube channel Aussie Wealth Creation, one of the first things he said was, "you never know the emotion of trading until you actually do it". We couldn't agree more with this statement. It's one of the most important messages we have for beginner investors. The biggest lessons you will learn are by doing. We connected with Brandon because we bo...

Due to the number of questions we wanted to answer, we had to split February's Ask Us Anything over 2 episodes. So here is part 2 - where we answer some of the best questions we've received over the last month. In this episode you will learn: • What are 3 major things to look out for when selecting a Financial Advisor • How you can go about discovering and then monitoring stocks in the US • How to...

Last episode of the month means we answer all of your questions. We've received so many, that we're going to split this Ask Us Anything over two eps. So part 1 is out today, part 2 will be out tomorrow. As always, you can ask us any question via email or social media. If we don't get to answering your question on the show, we'll endeavour to reply in writing. In this episode you will learn: • What...

It's that time of year again when the report cards of companies are released to eagerly-waiting investors, for them to scrutinise. We're talking about Reporting Season. Here in Australia, publicly listed companies are releasing their FY19 Half Year results. For those of you who are new to the markets, there is a requirement that all publicly listed companies report their earnings and performance h...

It's not often you get to talk to a trading expert, a best-selling author, a trading mentor, a keynote speaker, and a Queen of Candlesticks, but in this episode, we were lucky enough to speak to all of them, at once! Louise Bedford is all of the above, plus a passionate educator, and we sat down on a Saturday morning to dive into all things trading (vs our longer-term approach). Trading, in its pu...

Over the past 6 months as more and more Equity Mates have joined us on this journey, we've thought it may be time to do a reset episode. To explain how this podcast started and all that we've learnt over the past two years. Given we're about to tick over to episode #100 - we thought this was the perfect time. In this episode you will learn: • Why Bryce and Alec started Equity Mates • Two key thing...

If you haven't heard of Canna Campbell aka SugarMumma, and creator of the $1000 Project, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to get to know her. Canna is an expert financial planner, who saved over $60,000 in just over two years, without using a cent from her salary. She hustled and hustled, saving $1000 at a time, and then invested that money into income-producing stocks, to start buildi...

Another month, another meeting of the Equity Mates Book Club. Over summer we've been reading Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller Sr by Ron Chernow. Lucky we had two months to read it, because this book was a big one. For those unfamiliar, Rockefeller was the richest man in America in the early-1900's and goes down as one of the richest men in history. He made his money in the early days of the...

After our Christmas break, we had a lot of questions for our Ask Us Anything show. Way too many for one episode. So we've split it into two.

If you haven't already, make sure you sign up for our Next Top Trader competition - https://comp.nexttoptrader.com.au/ In this episode...

As always if you want to ask questions for next month, jump on the Ask Us Anything section of...

Episodes don't get much bigger than this. To kick off, we've got something really exciting to announce. Something we've been working on over summer. Something that might see you winning a trip to New York and walking the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Wouldn't that be something! On top of that, we've each got our final bold prediction for 2019. In this episode we each pick our Stock of the...

We're back for 2019! After a short Christmas break, we're ready for a big year and excited for some of the new things we've got planned.

We are so excited to bring you another episode in our Expert Investor series. Our guest this week is someone who we have been following for a couple of years now, and have longed to have on the show. His name is Jesse Felder. Jesse is an ex-Wall Street trader, starting his career at Bear Stearns (without even studying Business or Finance) - the largest investment bank on Wall Street at the time. H...

Before we take a break for Christmas and the New Year period, we take some time to tie a few things off and have a final quick discussion on the state of the market. But don't panic! We will still be releasing episodes over summer. Each week we're going to deep dive into one random company from the Australian Stock Exchange to see if we can find anything interesting. We'll discuss how we researche...

First episode of the month means the next instalment of the Equity Mates Book Club. We're pretty excited to talk about this book - an investing classic - The Little Book That (Still) Beats The Market by Joel Greenblatt. Greenblatt has serious bona fides as an investor. Running his fund Gotham Capital between 1985 and 2006, he returned an average of 40% per year! That would've turned his initial $7...

End of the month can only mean one thing - Equity Mates ask us anything. Once again we've collected some of our favourite questions from our website, social media and email and will answer them together on the show. In this episode we answers questions on: • Individual stock picking or ETFs • Cyber Monday • The actual mechanics of how shares are bought once you select 'buy' • Differences between m...

Since we began this podcast in January 2017, global markets have been on an incredible run. 2017 was an uninterrupted climb higher and higher, and aside from one hiccup in February, the first half of 2018 looked much the same. Word on the street was that our podcast was a good luck charm: as long as Bryce was talking, markets would keep rising. Alas, it appears this is not the case. Recently marke...

Knowing what to do with your cash while you're perhaps saving to invest it in stocks or compiling it to buy the next dip, is sometimes hard. You might also have an emergency fund, or you're saving for a house. In such a low-interest rate environment, putting your cash in the bank doesn't really give you the greatest of returns. This episode we explore an alternative to putting your cash into the b...
