Shares for Beginners

In this episode I welcome back Andrew Page, the founder of Strawman.com, an online investment club for investors to exchange ideas and debate on buying companies on the ASX. Andrew attempts to uncover hidden gems in the Australian small and mid-cap sharemarket, blending meticulous research with a community-driven approach. His latest blog post, Four Inches into the Future, was inspired by a quip from former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. It discusses the value of focusing on what's “reasonably knowable.”Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/andrew-page-four-inchesPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

My guest this week is Jeff Sarti, CEO of Morton Wealth. Jeff is a CFA charterholder managing over $3 billion in assets, and the author of the Healthy Skeptic newsletter where he challenges conventional investing wisdom.

My guest in this episode is the always welcome Tony Kynaston from QAV. Today, we dove into intrinsic value and company valuations. Tony explained valuation as a heat map. No single number pins down a company's worth. He uses multiple methods to gauge value. Companies get valued by assets or earnings. Think of your house—it's valued by comparing recent sales in your area. A coffee shop works the same way. Its assets, like the premises or equipment, have comparable values. Earnings matter too. Tony uses a discounted cash flow to estimate how long it takes to recover the asking price.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/kynaston-intrinsicTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to his QAV checklist.

This is a fun conversation with Tobias Bucks, Portfolio Manager of Global Small Caps at Ausbil, that turned out to be one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever had. Tobias has a unique background in social anthropology, bringing a perspective to investing that was as refreshing as it was profound. What started as a discussion about global small cap companies evolved into a deep dive into human behaviour, cultural constructs, and the art of asking the right questions.

I sat down with Petra Bakosova, portfolio manager at Hull Tactical to explore algorithmic trading and math-driven investing. Petra's insights were sharp and accessible. Petra's a math whiz. She studied applied mathematics in Bratislava, Slovakia and financial mathematics at the University of Chicago. Finance, not teaching, became her passion. She joined Hull Tactical, founded by blackjack legend Blair Hull, to manage the HTUS ETF. This fund uses algorithms to time the S&P 500, not pick stocks.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/bakosova-hullPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

This episode features Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool. Scott's an investment guru, a Roosters tragic, and a master at cutting through the noise, whether it's markets or political clown shows. We kicked off with three simple words: Invest, add, wait. Honestly, I could've ended the episode right there—it's that powerful. It's the essence of long-term investing, a mantra that echoes Aesop's tortoise and hare. Scott's been at this game long enough to know there's nothing new under the sun—Ben Graham nailed it in the 1930s, and the rest is just tweaking the recipe.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/scott-phillips-patiencePortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Todd Polke, an investment strategist with over 20 years of experience. His new book, Escape the Middle, is all about breaking free from financial mediocrity. Todd is all about designing a life you don't need to retire from—one with meaning, choice, and purpose. For him, that includes conservation efforts for oceans and wildlife. It's not all about money; it's about what money lets you do for yourself and the world.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/todd-polke-escapePortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

In this episode I sit down with Vince Scully, founder of Life Sherpa, to unpack the booming world of private credit funds listing on the ASX. With nearly a billion dollars raised in 2025 alone (or about $700 million by Vince's count), these funds are catching the eye of retail investors chasing higher yields. But with opportunity comes with risk—and regulators are sounding the alarm.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/vince-scully-private-incomePortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

G'day, listeners! In the latest Shares for Beginners, I chat with Roger Montgomery, a funds management pro with over 30 years in the game. He's got a sharp take on where the stock market's at and what's coming as we nudge into 2025. With inflation bouncing around and markets shifting, plenty of us are wondering what's next. Roger doesn't get hung up on the daily dips, he looks at the bigger picture. He reckons some companies are still solid bets, especially those pulling in double-digit earnings growth.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/roger-montgomery-feb-25Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Steve Mabb is the Chair of the Board at the Australian Shareholders' Association. In this episode we explore a critical aspect of investing: trust in management. Trust in management is vital to a company's success, especially in light of recent governance failures. Steve emphasises the importance of assessing management quality. He shares insights from his experience monitoring ASX companies, highlighting that while most companies are well-managed, there are exceptions. He urges investors to pay attention to red flags, such as a lack of transparency from management or decisions that seem misaligned with shareholder interests.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/mabb-asaPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

In this episode I chat with Andrew Brown from East72 Holdings to debunk some financial metrics.We look at discounted cash flow (DCF) valuations, a metric often authoritatively trumpeted by analysts. Andrew argues that DCF is useless for valuing most companies: it's based on unfounded assumptions and crystal-balling and can be manipulated to fit any narrative.Then there's EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Andrew agrees with Charlie Munger's assessment (bullshit!).Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ebitda-andrew-brownPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Spring 2024 Classic Episode - Phil desperately needs a break and hopes that you enjoy the lessons in this repeat episode.There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says: "Don't be discouraged by all the negative arguments I'm putting forth. I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ulyssesPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.
