Everything you need to know about starting out in stocks. Our special guest is Joe Youssef, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Distribution with Two Harbours Asset Management. You can learn more about Joe on LinkedIn.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Shares: Shares represent ownership in a company. When private companies go public, they offer shares that anyone can buy, turning shareholders into partial owners.

Importance of Liquidity: The stock market offers liquidity, allowing investors to buy and sell shares quickly, unlike properties or term deposits which are less flexible.

Educational Emphasis: Joe Youssef stresses the importance of education in investing. Investors should thoroughly understand what they are investing in to make informed decisions.

Ethical Investing: Ethical investing is becoming increasingly prominent. Investors often choose not to invest in sectors like gambling, tobacco, or certain pharmaceuticals based on personal or religious beliefs.

Long-term Strategy: Effective investing requires patience and a long-term perspective. Joe highlights the need to weather short-term market fluctuations and focus on long-term growth.

Notable Quotes:

Joe Youssef: "The definition of true investment is to buy an asset with the view of holding it and letting it appreciate steadily over time."

Pete Burrows: "It’s a flexible way to make money… the very transparency of the share market is what scares people about it."

Joe Youssef: "Historically, no market has generated the most capital returns as well as income for investors than the stock market."

Joe Youssef: "Education is key and then have the patience to see that through."

Ben McEachen: "Should I align my faith with what I invest in?"
