Are you maximizing the value of your shareholder voting rights? It's a question many investors overlook, but it could be the key to unlocking additional income from your investments.

Preston Yadegar is the founder and CEO of Shareholder Vote Exchange, the world's first marketplace for shareholder voting rights. Preston has previously worked at several investment advisors and hedge funds in trading and software engineering roles. He graduated from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in computer science and philosophy in 2020.

We discuss proxy votes—what they are, how they work, and why they're often neglected by retail investors. Preston explains that while most shareholders have the right to vote, the majority don't exercise it, leading to what he terms 'rational shareholder apathy.' But should investors simply disregard these votes? Preston argues that there's value in these rights, and that selling them could benefit both the shareholder and the company.

Join us as we dive into a candid conversation with Kyle Hedman, the voice behind the rebranded Band of Traders podcast, formerly known as Two Bulls in a China Shop. In this unscripted episode, we peel back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster of trading, the importance of risk management, and the psychological battles that traders face.

As the calendar flips to 2024, Kyle shares his journey from exploring stocks to delving into the world of futures. He discusses the value of paper trading, the impact of trading psychology, and the evolution of his own trading process. We also touch on the challenges of maintaining realistic expectations in the trading universe, where the lure of quick riches often overshadows the gritty reality of the markets.

But it's not all charts and trades – our conversation meanders through the streets of Peoria, the festive traditions down under, and even the potential of nuclear power with a nod to Miss America, Grace Stanke. We reflect on the state of the world, the sense of community in trading circles, and the importance of honesty in an industry rife with overpromises.

Mark LaMonica CFA, is an investor, financial educator and the Director of Product Management, Individual Investor at Morningstar. He still recalls the excitement of receiving his first dividend from Nike as a teen. Mark became interested in income investing during the chaotic dot-com crash emphasizing the importance of looking at a company as a real business, rather than a ticker code. Mark believes in the importance of financial independence and how dividends can be used to generate income without touching principal. We also explore the importance of balancing dividend growth and current yield in an income investing strategy.

In this episode I'm joined by special guest, Laks Ganapathi, founder and CEO of Unicus Research. In this candid conversation, we delve into the often-misunderstood world of short selling and its impact on the stock market. We also look at some recent investing themes like ESG and craft beer to see where hype and optimism has led to poor investment returns.

Laks sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding short sellers. She acknowledges that some short sellers may contribute to a negative image by pumping stocks for profit, but she emphasizes that this isn't representative of all short sellers. The conversation touches on the ethical concerns of short selling and the need for transparency in financial markets.

The discussion turned to this article ESG – A Good Deed With An Incentive To Scam | IFC Re... (ifcreview.com) As Milton Friedman says: "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits."

Tim Calise is a business mentor, podcast host, serial entrepreneur, husband, father and avid Formula One fan. He shares his journey of investing and his experience of raising over $325 million before the age of 25. Tim talks about his early fascination with numbers, money and investing, and how his entrepreneurial spirit helped to grow a hedge fund in the early 2000s (pre-GFC). He explains the decision to liquidate the fund in 2007 due to the uncertainty of the mortgage defaults and the importance of listening to the market. We discuss the merits of long-term investing vs short-term trading, and the advantages individual investors have over professional money managers.
