Best For Beginners: Investing for Beginners
Andrew and Dave, the hosts, are two regular guys who didn’t go to school for finance. They are self-taught investors who try to break down complicated subjects into a language everyone can understand, along with a rotating list of guests and contributors.
Trying to learn the stock market or investing can be tough, but as Dave mentions on the show, try learning the subjects like eating a pizza – piece by piece, you can’t eat it all at once!
Investing offers a constant learning process, which explains why Dave and Andrew started the show…to help others learn over a longer period and provide guidance and knowledge.
Investors have LOTS of questions, and the hosts answer a broad range of questions on the show directly from listeners. They also sprinkle in relevant topics, interesting interviews with subject experts, and Bird’s Eye views of different companies.
