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.

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.

The goal remains to help investors learn how to invest, so they can comfortably find their investing zone and grow their wealth over a long period.

Best Interviews: Invest Like the Best

Patrick O’Shaughnessy interviews some of the best minds in the investing world, and the best part is that he comes at each interview from a place of curiosity. Patrick asks the best questions, drilling deeper into each topic.

Some of the topics steer into more advanced ideas, so buyer beware, but if you want a great overview of many different areas of investing, Patrick’s conversations are a great place to start.

Patrick has covered cryptocurrencies, high-yield credit investing, venture capital, and private equity. Patrick also dives into efficiency, becoming a better communicator and reader.

My favorite part of Patrick’s show is his humble and curious approach to learning. These attributes remain an essential mentality to maintain on our investing journey.

Best Market Commentary: Motley Fool Money

Chris Hill and a collection of Motley Fool analysts cover the market’s top news of the day. Daily, they spend time covering the impacts of the news, both from a long-term and short-term impact.

On the weekends, they focus on teaching and education to help all levels of investors continue their learning.

The show also sprinkles in great guests to give context to ongoing news.

All the information shared comes through the Motley Fool lens of investing and style.

Aside from the fresh take on news topics, one of the aspects I like is their ability to discuss both good and bad news and its implications.

The Motley Fool shows provide an entertaining aspect of the markets and expose investors to the many different industries and companies.

Best International: The Canadian Investor Podcast

Another great podcast for the serious stock picker with a focus on both U.S. stocks and Canadian stocks. Braden and Simon have an enthusiastic, well-informed, entertaining, and educational style.

Their shows have different segments covering a wide range of topics. They also showcase the earnings of select companies during the height of earnings season.

Braden and Simon cover the basics in different shows, focusing on metrics, diversification, and valuation. They have a great ability to break down complicated ideas in a way beginners can understand.

You would think, with their name, they would focus on the Canadian market, but while they talk about Canadian companies, they both invest broadly in the U.S. and cover these names.
