right folks, we’ll welcome to Investing for Beginners podcast, this is episode
123 tonight. Andrew and I are going to answer some of our listener questions.
We’ve got some great ones recently, and we wanted to take a stab at answering
them for you on the air. So I’m going to go ahead and read the first question
and then Andrew and I will do our little thing. So our first question is, hi
Andrew. I currently make over six figures, and my wife stays at home with our 20-month-old
twins. Wow. We have a few school loans left, roughly 15,000. I am still balling
the payments as well as to pay off quicker. My question is, should I continue
to dollar cost average and invest or take that amount and put it towards the
loans? I also put a little bit aside for my paychecks for my daughters. I also
have a 401k with my company. I get a fully vested 3% than 100% of my first 3%
and 50% of the following 3%. So I don’t want to lose out on the free money.
Does it make sense? I just turned 34 last week, as well. Thank you to you and
Dave for all the advice constantly. Andrew, what are your thoughts?

Andrew:                              01:46                     Hmm.
So this kind of hits home a little bit because like I can relate with it and I
think it’s something that more and more people who are a little, I’ll say like
coming up, but you know, starting their careers, starting to look into
investing. A lot of younger people have student loans. And so this is one of
those things where, you know, not only are you trying to figure out, you know,
how do I make a budget? And then it’s like, well, how does the stock market
work? How does investing work? And then now it’s like, well, should I invest or
should I pay off that? And there’s get millions of different answers. So let’s
tackle that back half first. And I want to see what you think about the 401k to
Dave. So basically, basically, I look at a 401k matches free money, and I think
that takes priority over anything.

October 10, 2019 IFB122: Analyzing the Growth of a Stock, Pt 2

Announcer:                        00:00                     You’re
tuned in to the Investing for Beginners podcast. Finally, step by step premium
investment guidance for beginners, led by Andrew Sather and Dave Ahern to
decode industry jargon, silence crippling confusion and help you overcome
emotions by looking at the number, your path to financial freedom starts now.

Dave:                                    00:35                     All
right, folks, we’ll welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast, episode 122
tonight we’re going to do part two of analyzing the growth of the stock. And
one of the things that are going to be a theme tonight is appearances can be
deceiving. Not all growth is equal, so you never know what you’re going to get
until you get into it. So like Forrest Gump used to say, life has a box of
chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. So tonight I think, you
know, worst you’re going to get, but Andrew and I are going to talk a little
bit. So Andrew, once you go ahead and start us off and then we’ll chat a little
bit.

Andrew:                              01:11                     Yeah,
sounds good. I’m excited to hear about the example that we talked about off
air. I think that kind of ties it in nicely, and it’s, you know, we’ve been
talking about growth and, you know, if you haven’t listened to the last
episode, I would recommend doing that. But bottom line, you know, a business
grows, a stock goes higher in the stock market because it’s able to grow
earnings and profits over time. And so as an investor, there are so many
different ways, and like a box of chocolates, I guess. There are different
flavors of ways that you can try to reevaluate a stock’s growth. And what’s
frustrating is there’s never one perfect way. And you know, one, if you have
some indicator that you found this year that’s worked to help you pick stocks
that grew, maybe that, that indicator doesn’t work next year.

Andrew:                              02:06               ...

August 29, 2019 IFB116: Facing Stock Buyer’s Remorse and the China Tariffs

Announcer:                        00:00                     You’re
tuned in to the Investing for Beginners podcast. Finally, step by step premium
investment guidance for beginners led by Andrew Sather and Dave Ahern, to
decode industry jargon, sirens, crippling confusion and help you overcome
emotions by looking at the numbers, your path to financial freedom starts now.

Dave:                                    00:34                     All
right folks, we’ll welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode
116 tonight. Andrew and I are going to answer some listener questions. You’ve
been getting some great ones lately, and you guys keep sending us great stuff,
so we want to keep talking about it, see if we can help you guys. We’re in a
thing or two and answer any questions that you guys might have. So I’m going to
go ahead and read the first question and then we’ll go from there.

Dave:                                    00:58                     So
it says, Hello Andrew. I started listening to your podcast, and it is inspired
me to start investing. I found a list of dividend aristocrats that ran each one
through Finviz with filters. I did the research, looked into the balance sheet,
and warned about what the companies I was interested in did. The one I finally
decided on was WBA Walgreens Boots Alliance. I didn’t see anything to wrong,
and a balance sheet is slower growing its profits at debt as well, and I saw
nothing to my beginner’s eye that says it’s bad, so I bought three shares. That
being said, now I think I miss something and I don’t know what the price
immediately dropped in price hang it. They released an announcement saying
they’re going to close down 3% of their stores. Now I know most people freak
out about that, but they’re trying to do it to help more profitable because
everyone says they should be doing better than they are. I guess my question
is, as a new investor, I’m kind of terrified that I bought the wrong stock.
Even after reading the 10 Q and 10 k I’m still not sure I miss if I miss
something. Someone with more experience would have seen. I guess my question
is, as a new investor, how do I figure out if I’m right or wrong? Andrew, what
do you think?

Andrew:                      &n...
