Dave:                                    00:36                     All
right folks, welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode
129 tonight. Andrew and I are going to go back to the well, and we’re going to
answer a listener’s question. We got a great one the other day, and Andrew
thought this would be a great conversation for us to have with you guys, so I’m
going to go ahead and read the question, and then Andrew will take the first
stab at it. All right, so here we go. I have been practicing using the VTI
Excel sheet and pick Starbucks since they are a large company that has been
around for a while and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. When I input their
numbers into the spreadsheet, it put on a VTI of 1428 I see. They have more way
abilities than assets. Their dividend has decreased from last year, and their
shareholder equity seems to be in a negative. Yet when I read articles online,
they say it as a good buy. How do you reconcile these articles with the data we
are receiving through the VTI process. Thank you, and love all the content.
Andrew, what are your thoughts on this?

Andrew:                              01:35                     Yeah,
super good question. First off, and I think there’ll be a lot of fun to talk
about Starbucks and take a deep dive into it. Just for kind of clarification
for people who don’t know what the listener is talking about, we need to says
VTI that stands for value trap indicator. It is a formula that I created and
use on every stock I buy. And so basically it takes some of the financial
numbers around the company and does some calculations and tells you generally
whether it’s a good buy or not. So 1428, that’s a very high number in the range
of VTI world. That’s definitely like in strong sell territory or at the very
least, do not buy a territory. So I think you know it. It’s a great question
and a great thing to think about. Because you have, you have on let, let’s
start maybe with a disclaimer.

This is episode 127 tonight, Andrew and I are going to take some listener question and answer them for you. If you are enjoying this show please subscribe for future shows. We’ve got some great questions recently, and so we thought we would read through those and do our a little back and forth and give and take. So Andrew, why don’t you go ahead and read us the first question.

Andrew:                              00:57                     Sounds
good. So this one’s from Stefan L. He says, I’ve been following your podcast
and your newsletter for about two or three months now considering signing up
for your Eli there, but first and they work out the best way to invest in the US
market from abroad. He says, I live and work in Bulgaria. He says I’m
interested in investing in the S and P 500 during the dollar-cost averaging
with monthly installments of about $300; however, the options to buy an ETF
from a local broker are terrible. They want to charge me 4% commission plus
$2.20 per month plus bank transaction and currency exchange fees, which roughly
amounts to six and a half to 7% given that the average growth ofS and P 500 is
around 8% of the year, I can hardly make any money in the long run.

Andrew:                              01:44                     Have

right folks, welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode 124
tonight, Andrew, and I thought we would take a break from Listener questions
and maybe some of the other formats that we’ve talked about lately and talk a
little bit about some current news. So for those of you out there living in a
black hole of news, there was some big, big news in the stock market recently
this week and there was some news that a lot of the online brokers have dropped
to zero fees and Andrew and I wanted to talk a little bit about that. So
Andrew, did you have some thoughts? I hear I hear you take it in. Take a
breath.

Andrew:                              01:19                     Somebody
hold me back. Hold me back. Yeah, I think it’s like we’re watching history
being made, right? And for somebody like me, I’m trying to encourage people to
invest. Now. There’s no excuse. You had the emergence of Robin hood and what
made Robin, what made everybody flock to Robinhood was the fact that you could
trade, and there would be no commission fees. And this week just, it was like
dominoes, and they just fell one after the other. So I logged into my ally
account and saw this little message on the top that said, Hey, starting October
nine, we are not charging commission fees anymore. Ally used to be a four 95
portray commission, and now it’s not. And then, you know, I think I think
before that was what were we, what were we saying? I was like interactive brokers
before that. Yup. Yup. They were one of the first ones. Goldman Sachs was I
think those were one of the first two that, that went that route. And then like
you said, the dominoes kind of started to fall. Schwab was the next really big
one that kind of really shook up the investing world. And then soon after that
followed
