This week, Mike sits down with Emma Farrelly, a Qualified Financial Adviser (QFA) and Retirement Planning Adviser (RPA) from Future Financial Planning in Dublin.

Emma walks through what every twenty-something needs to know about saving for success, the risks of relying solely on property as an investment, and what auto-enrolment means for both employees and employers. She also gives her two cents on our sworn enemy — deemed disposal — and the broader Irish wealth landscape.

As a newly rich country, Ireland still has a lot to learn about building generational wealth but the tide is definitely turning.

If you’re Irish, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Mike is joined by Clem Chambers, financial journalist, author, and contributor to Forbes, Fox, and Wired.

Clem is a self-described contrarian investor who seeks opportunities in inefficient markets. Tune in to hear his breakdown of why the U.K. stock market has fallen behind but is still a great place to find compounding stocks.

Later, Clem discusses the opportunity he sees in Intel. Despite being left behind by Nvidia, Intel’s manufacturing capabilities in Europe and the United States may make it an ideal acquisition target for chip rivals looking to secure themselves against geopolitical tensions.

Finally, hear why Clem has sold out of Bitcoin—despite being an early adopter—and learn about his three favorite investments right now.

The IPO market has been a barren wasteland since the carefree days of 2020. But this week, we bring you an IPO that might actually be worth a look.

Figma has released its hotly anticipated S-1, revealing a business firing on all cylinders—with double-digit revenue growth, a 132% net dollar retention rate, and, most notably, profitability. The company now hopes to extend its land-and-expand sales model beyond the UI/UX space, though that will introduce new competition. It’s also betting big on AI, while trying to not alienate the designers who have championed the brand, a delicate balancing act that a strong management team may just pull off.

Later, Emmet explores the impact of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on Airbnb hosts. Thanks to new tax write-offs, becoming a short-term landlord just got a whole lot easier—and cheaper.

Anne Marie and Mike are back and they are here to pitch two big name stocks trading on the cheap.

First up: Novo Nordisk. The Ozempic darling soared in 2024, but tough competition from Eli Lilly and a tumultuous relationship with Hims & Hers has left this pharmaceutical in the bin. Mike goes over its latest troubles but reminds us that it’s a market leader in a rapidly expanding market. Should you pick up this discounted giant? Tune in to hear the full pitch.

Later, Anne Marie breaks down Nike. Her favorite stock for 2025, Nike is in the middle of a significant brand realignment resulting in some short-term pain. However, suffering may be coming to an end according to its latest quarterly report, and the market is beginning to warm back up to the long-suffering swoosh. Can the home of “Just Do It” beat the tariff blues?

This week, Stock Club brings you an Investicon preview with Eric Bleeker from 24/7 Investing.

Eric is an expert in AI investing, the founder of the AI Investor Podcast, and one of Nvidia’s earliest proponents. He’s here to walk you through the current market outlook. While he doesn’t shy away from comparisons to the dot-com bubble, he still believes AI will be a life-changing addition to your portfolio.

Although AI-specific stocks aren’t cheap, there are plenty of indirect, “pick and shovel” plays that have caught his attention. Tune in to hear a few great ideas.

Eric also shares a preview of what to expect during his Investicon presentation.

Bragging may be unbecoming, but Mike and Emmet are here to do just that.

As of this week, our international portfolio, Nexus II, is outperforming the S&P 500 by 20%. While macroeconomic uncertainty reigns in the U.S., international stocks are having a strong year. To celebrate, Mike walks you through the latest addition to Nexus II: Vitec Software Group.

It’s Swedish, growing rapidly, and resembles a young Constellation Software. What’s not to like?

The team has also prepared a research paper on why capital is moving abroad, whether this signals the end of American exceptionalism, and how it could shape your portfolio. It’ll be hitting your inbox in this week’s Stock Club newsletter—or you can request a copy here:

Later, Emmet unpacks three major biotech stories from around the world, including a powerful example of CRISPR technology in action.
