The 7investing Podcast

You can’t invest if you don’t have excess money in your budget. A lot of people make little financial mistakes that collectively hurt their ability to buy stocks and make long-term financial moves. Maxx Chatsko joins Dan Kline to talk about some of the financial drains that can be avoided (and a few that maybe can’t). We’ll also look at the first in vivo clinical results for CRISPR gene editing. W...

"10-Baggers" are prime examples of the amazing power of compounding in investing. The term was originally coined by legendary investor Peter Lynch in his book <em>One Up on Wall Street.</em> It refers to a company that goes on to return 10 times your initial investment, turning $1,000 into $10,000 or $100,000 into $1 million. Lynch went on to become one of the greatest money managers o...

The pandemic changed a lot about how many white-collar workers work. Many people who used to go to an office every day stopped doing that. Going forward, not everyone will be heading back to a traditional five-day-a-week in-office work schedule. That’s going to have ramifications across the economy. Steve Symington joins Dan Kline on “7investing Now” live at noon to discuss what this means for inv...

We’re checking in on the progress of the space race and looking at Google’s partnership with a hospital chain to disrupt healthcare. In addition, we’ll take a look at just how far momentum can take drug companies and examine some of the legislative attempts to regulate big tech.

America's health care system is a complex beast. It's costing us $4 trillion per year -- roughly $11,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country -- and that's nearly double the per capita spend of other developed nations. Even with the premium price tag, our health outcomes are still lagging many of those other countries. However, there is still cause for optimism. We've diagnoses several o...

The pandemic has shown that America has a lot of problems with its healthcare system. There’s a political component to that, but there’s also a lot of private efforts underway to disrupt the current system. Maxx Chatsko and Dana Abramowitz join Dan Kline for 7investing Now to look at what’s happening in this space and what it means for investors. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you t...

In this conversation, 7investing Lead Advisor Matthew Cochrane sits down with Ryan Krueger, the co-founder and CEO of Freedom Day Solutions, a family-owned and operated financial advisory firm located in Houston. Krueger believes that there are countless and confusing ways to plan for retirement. Even at their best, a withdrawal rate based on a projected return is a guess, sometimes based on just...

Bipartisan legislation has been proposed in the House of Representatives that would impose significant regulation on large technology companies. The multiple bills, if passed, would change the rules for companies including Alphabet, Facebook, and Apple. This could result in some of these companies being broken up or having to sell some parts of their businesses. Steve Symington joins Dan Kline on...

The advertising industry is continuously evolving. From billboards to newspapers, from radios to television, and from desktops to Smartphones, technology has been changing the way that companies appeal to prospective consumers for decades. And efficiency has always been at the very heart of advertising. Businesses are looking to grow their top line at the most optimal return on investment possible...

It's been a long and winding road for synthetic biology. The first wave of publicly-traded companies emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Many were founded on the promise of engineering microbes to produce renewable fuels, which could ease supply constraints and price volatility. It's easy to forget now, but before fracking came along the world was legitimately worried about Peak Oil. Unfort...

Every 7investing lead advisor has a different method for evaluating companies. Some use a more technical style while others have a mixed approach that also involves personal experience. We all value different metrics in different ways and on this episode of “7investing Now,” Dan Kline and Maxx Chatsko will share how they pick the companies they invest in personally and how they find their monthly...

The pandemic has changed some Americans’ minds about where they want to live. That has sent more people from big cities to smaller towns. Will this mean a resurgence for small-town Americans -- and what might that mean for investors. Dan Kine and Matt Cochrane will cover what’s happening and give you three companies poised to benefit from this population shift. Welcome to 7investing. We are here t...

Anirban Mahanti sat down with Mayur Thaker, a Senior Relationship Manager at Zacks Investment Research, to chat about hypergrowth investing. This conversation is all about investing in rapidly growing companies with huge addressable markets. As investors, we need a framework to study these options: how do we evaluate the investment opportunities in businesses at the bleeding edge of their respecti...

Our very first 7investing principle is that investing is personal. We believe no one knows your investing style, risk tolerance, or future goals better than you do. As such, the "right" way to invest and the "best" stocks in the market will necessarily be different for each individual.   But many people still feel like they don't understand the stock market or that investing is a game that's...

Internet security has gotten a lot more scrutiny after the Colonial Pipeline attack caused gas supply disruptions in parts of the United States. That’s only one of a few recent attacks which has caused more companies to to turn to Zscaler as well as other internet security solutions for help. Anirban Mahanti joins Dan Kline to break down Zscaler’s results and to discuss the rest of the internet se...

Robinhood has been all over the news as a stock platform used largely by younger traders -- people new to the market who maybe don’t really understand what they’re doing. It’s a platform that does bring buying stocks to a new audience but it’s also one that encourages inexperienced investors to do things that could be dangerous like buying on margin and using options. We’ll also kick the show off...

The stock market doesn’t have to be hard but it’s easy to make mistakes. People listen to the wrong advice, believe in things that just aren’t true, or fall into all sorts of traps. Steve Symington joins Dan Kline on 7investing Now to help you avoid some of the worst investing mistakes that are made every day. In addition, we’ll look at the big Virgin Galactic news and talk with David VanAmbrug ab...

It was a really busy week and the market was more volatile than usual. We’ll have much of the 7investing team on talking about what we make of the rough market for most of the week, the crypto crash, AT&T’s spinoff of WarnerMedia to combine it with Discovery, Target’s big earnings number, and much more. We’re also taking your questions and answering them live. Welcome to 7investing. We are her...

In a decade since Marc Andreessen’s famous Wall Street Journal op-ed “Software is eating the world,” much has indeed transpired. The broad shift in technology and our economy towards software has taken place. Today, software is a critical component of almost every business, almost to the point where we can think of every business as a software business! Enterprise software, and in particular softw...

Telemedicine has exploded during the pandemic. That makes sense since it was risky to go to a doctor’s office and that’s not something people ever enjoyed doing. What will telemedicine look like in the years to come? Dana Abramovitz joins Dan Kline to share her thoughts. Then, Anirban Mahanti joins us to break down what’s happening in the software as a service (SAAS) space. These companies have be...

This month, our 7investing team set our sights overseas.   China and Southeast Asia are lands of opportunity for investors. But what should we know about the region's consumers, regulations, and general business culture. And how is that different than other parts of the world?   To help us answer these questions, we've brought in an investing expert with a first-hand look at this region....

The market has been volatile pretty much throughout the entire pandemic. As we start to put the past 15 or so months behind us, will that change? We’ll look at the path to recovery for growth stocks, whether the pandemic has created any permanent behavioral changes, and we’ll discuss what conventional wisdom is getting wrong. Companies Mentioned Fastly (NYSE:FSLY) Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) AT&T ...

There's a lot of technology buzzwords flying around in the financial media these days. "Digital transformation", "cloud computing", "edge computing", and "artificial intelligence" are making their way into plenty of headlines and also into the conversations of more and more cocktail parties. The world is gaining a better understanding of what several cutting-edge trends actually mean.   But e...

The market has not been kind to most tech stocks over the past few weeks. That’s hard to watch in the short-term, but our long-term convictions have not changed. Good companies can have major negative moves in their share price in the short-term while still being huge winners in the long-term. Simon Erickson and Maxx Chatsko join Dan Kline to talk about market volatility, sector rotation, and why...
