This week we dive a little deeper into investor’s clubs. What they are, how they work, and what risks are involved. 

Turns out that not only is the shared club experience great for learning how to manage YOUR own money on the markets, it’s also a cool way to meet interesting people whose interests are aligned with yours. 

Oh, and as Papa Tony politely puts it, having group support during those tough trading days when you’re second-guessing yourself is a big help in bolstering your ‘intestinal fortitude’ - a necessary skill to learn in the heat of the moment, you know when markets are 'rollercoasting' and you’re tempted to jump ship. 

Also in this episode, we kick around the idea of an in-person training week in Malta. Because that’s where Papa Tony’s heart is, and there are beautiful beaches and great weather. And so why not Malta? 

Take a listen to this weeks It’s MY money! show: it’s a goodie.

In this weeks episode of ‘it’s MY money!’ I catch up with Papa Tony who is still in Malta, and Dave Labarthe, who has not yet taken time off this summer, and is still enjoying the brilliant Geneva weather. As usual we get a birds eye view of their thinking around what’s hot and what’s not in the markets, but I also ask some questions around their investor’s clubs.

This podcast is not about trying to sell you anything, nor should it be construed as financial advice. It does give us an insight into how perfectly normal folk can get their heads around derivatives trading and manage their own portfolios with surprisingly profitable results. If you’ve wanted to understand the inner workings of the markets and perhaps have fun making money for yourself, take a listen.

We’ll be chatting about investor’s clubs where enthusiasts club together, each contributing a nominal investment (Dave’s Geneva-based club members each put in just $100 each month). Club members then work together to analyze companies and make their calls in a safe environment until they’re ready to branch out and do it for themselves.

Take a listen...

Welcome to this week's show.

In It’s My Money! I put two ordinary investors under pressure, so we can learn how they go about analyzing a prospective company before they invest. I also ask Papa Tony and Dave Labarthe to answer a reader's questions and we hear how sometimes well-performing companies are just too expensive for derivatives traders. Take a listen as Papa Tony and Dave allow us a glimpse of what happens inside the engine room of their investors' clubs.

The Week that was with the It’s My Money Show hosts: Papa Tony and Dave Labarthe.

Activist Investor’s try gaming the system, youngsters and grandpas doing it for themselves, and is this the most fun you can have while making money?

In this episode of It’s My Money! we chat about activist investors shorting their noses to spite their faces. I ask Dave and Papa Tony about their wins for the week and we also hear about their youngest - and oldest - investor club members.

The chat gets interesting when Papa Tony explains why he prefers the flexibility derivatives give him and how, despite knowing better, he still has to quell emotions when it comes to betting on brands he has an affinity for. 

Dave can hardly keep the passion out of his voice as he explains a little about the rules his investor clubs follow, and why the clubs continue to beat the odds.

Join us as we take a romp through the markets this week and hear what Dave and Papa Tony have been up to over the last week of trades. You can reach Dave and Papa Tony with your questions on [email protected]

Take a listen to two amateur investors, one based in Belgium and the other in Geneva Switzerland as they discuss their weekly trades and the wins (sometimes losses when the rules aren't being followed) that affect their portfolios and what is happening amongst the members of their investor clubs.

In this episode, one of Dave Labarthe’s Geneva-based clubs just smashed through the $100k value ceiling. Not too shabby when the 10 odd club members contribute just $100/month to practice investing before venturing out into the real world.

To keep things real and to moderate the questions is business editor Andrew Mark. This is not investment advice. This is a chance to eavesdrop on two likeable amateur investors who have turned their passion for the markets into an opportunity for others to learn.

The It’s MY money show is a weekly podcast offering up a fly-on-the-wall opportunity for listeners to eavesdrop on amateur investors Pappa Tony, a sports coach from Belgium, and Dave Labarthe, a financial advisor from Geneva Switzerland, as they discuss their week's trades and outlook for the week ahead. They have a lot of fun, and the show is moderated by experienced business editor, Andrew Mark.

They are not trying to sell you anything, and nothing they say should be construed as financial advice or endorsement of any company or stock. Both Pappa Tony and Dave do run successful amateur ‘investors clubs’ in their home towns where they share their knowledge with club members, some in their teens, who are encouraged to learn how to trade in a safe environment before branching out on their own.

Listeners are encouraged to leave their investment-related questions in the comments or email them through to the address in the show notes. If time permits these may be discussed and answered in a future show.
