Retirement and Investment Literacy

Investing: How to Get Started

Today we discuss the mechanics of investing - how to choose a platform that is right for you based on your experience as an investor.  I review which pages each platform has that you will use to invest your money, such as the Opening Account screen, the Trade screen, Activity page, and how to find your Tax Documents.  

Options Continued: Puts and Shorts

Today's Podcast is a continuation of our Options discussion.  We cover Put options and strategies on how to use them.  To help understand options trading we discuss shorting the markets and how that can be used in lieu of bearish Put strategies.  This is the last in the series on Options.  We will be returning to basic investing and retirement strategies going forward.  We love the feedback we receive on our website as well as the suggestions made on future topics.

Options II - Intro to Call Strategies, Options Chains, Trading, and Leveraged ETFs

This Podcast covers bull and bear strategies for Call options, how to find options chains on your investment platform, and how volatility lends itself to profitable options trading. We also discuss leveraged ETFs - what they are and how to use them as opposed to options trading.  

Options Intro and Follow Up with Research from Last Podcast

This podcast is a brief continuation of my last podcast on research and watchlists - where to find information outside of your investing platform.  I continue with an introduction into options trading. 

Where Do I Put My Money Now?

A discussion on the more aggressive components of the market.  There has been a shift in stock investing since the 4th quarter of 2022 from conservative sectors of the market such as energy and consumer staples back into tech and more aggressive sectors of the market.  It's time to use watch lists, stop loss orders, and technical analysis.
