Do Your Research

Being in your mid-40s and doing what you like to do... That's not an image that comes to mind when we think of retiring. But, that's exactly what Eric Cuka is doing. Eric is a successful sales executive in his 40's and he is on track to retire in the mid-40s. He is the portfolio publisher of Stock Card's Get F.I.R.E.D. Up! portfolio and in this episode of Renegade Investors podcast, he lays out a detailed plan about how he is going to retire early and live off of his investments, and how you can do it too!

Can it be it done? And, can the stock market get you there?

After we published part 1 of the two-part podcast episode about whether to invest in pot stocks or not, Mark Bernberg launched The Green Fund on Stock Card's portfolio Store. Since then, the market has decided to test our intelligent ways of investing! Most of our picks in the portfolio are a bit down due to a variety of reasons, none indicating any changes in the future market potential. That's why in this second part of my conversation with The Green Fund portfolio publisher, we dug deep into a few practical ways of evaluating pot stocks and we discussed how to create a diversified portfolio of cannabis stocks. 

If you haven't listened to part one of this series, make sure to listen to it before listening to the second part.

We are taking a breather from the tech IPOs hype and exploring whether India is the new China. The Indian economy and the stock market has grown faster than the U.S. and China. Should you consider investing in Indian companies? India is an excellent mix of new, young companies that are creating the latest technology-driven products and old, large, stable ones that have been in business for several decades. The new startups, springing up in all the major cities, are driven by an ambition to build innovative, unique and future-defining products using modern technology and atypical business models. Stable companies are the foundation of India's economy and have steady operations. However, the Indian stock market is not as much talked about in the U.S. and mostly out of the sights of the U.S. investors. In today's episode of the Renegade Investors podcast, we invite Stock Card's Senior Financial Analyst and the Portfolio Publisher of the Emerging India portfolio on our Portfolio Store to discuss the similarities between India and China. Some of the companies we discussed are Infosys (Ticker INFY), HDFC Bank (HDB), Dr Reddy's (RDY) and Larsen & Toubro (LTOUF), MakeMyTrip (MMYT) and YatraOnline (YTRA).
