Stocks for Beginners

Dividend-paying stocks can be a welcome addition to an investment portfolio. They generate passive income because you’re receiving a portion of profits from the companies you’re investing in. Lawrence Carrel is a writer who has spent his career creating insightful, engaging, high-impact content for a variety of audiences. He's also the author of Dividend Stocks for Dummies, a guide to learning how to incorporate dividends into your portfolio.

"News flash-you are going to lose at times on the market…even the pros only have 50% winning trade percentages".

It was a pleasure to chat with Todd Shaffer, the Manager of Research for VectorVest We talked about the realities of trading and how he realized from a young age that the ‘tools were weighted to the professionals so he knew he couldn’t compete with them’. He explained the emotional decisions people make when it comes to investing and the mistake of focusing on making money rather than developing a methodology of investing. Todd explained VectorVest’s commitment to a systematic approach to investing that is based on their 3 pillars of Value/ Safety and Timing, which in Todd’s words; ‘starts putting the probabilities on our side of being successful’. He recommends organically expanding your risk as you improve over time and his 0.5% risk strategy. Todd views investing as an empirical intellectual exercise that requires study. VectorVest offers guidance to help investors plan their strategy.

Robert Farrington is the founder of The College Investor the #1 tool to help get people out of student loan debt, learn how to earn more money, understand how to start investing and build real wealth.

"What's gonna make a big difference in your life is consistently investing over time and putting as much money as you possibly can into your investments. And then, if you can just get the market rate of return 10% a year, you are going to be solid by the time you're getting close to retirement, and, if you start this whole process when you're 20 years old 22 years old, you're going to be solid by the time you're 35. That's really the name of the game. It's not about what you invest in, it's not about picking stocks, it is about how much you can possibly get into your investment accounts as early as you physically can."

Thanks for the wonderful conversation, Robert. Here are some links:

Myles Gage began his career as a credit analyst at CIBC. He and his co-founder, Brian Curcio, realized that ordinary investors have paid a price to learn to invest — and that price typically was real money ending up in Wall Street’s pocket. Rapunzl was founded to provide an unparalleled investing education through fun (and free) investment competitions with scholarship and cash prizes. At Rapunzl, they believe everyone at a young age should understand the basics of stock trading and that the knowhow of stock trading should be accessible not just to those on wall street but also those on main street.

“When you research a company you're basically putting a puzzle together to say, okay, would these guys be good stewards of my money? Because basically the CEO and the management team has given stewardship over this money, how are they going to spend it?”. Keith Smith launched the Bonhoeffer Fund in 2017. Applying concepts from developed markets that have proven effective, the fund identifies and invests in companies that exhibit those qualities in disrupted industries, misunderstood sectors, and emerging markets. The fund is named for German theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who represents the power of independent thought.

“Post the Global Financial Crisis it was exhausting because every day was just another down day. It was another pressurized day. A lot of people lost a lot of money. Some people couldn't take it anymore. Suicide rates in this country and this industry went up, it was tough. I mean, it was very, very difficult to come to work every day and try to focus on what was positive because every day it was just negative news. There was nothing positive for a good four years or so. There was just nothing positive about what was happening in the financial markets.”
