Shares for Beginners

Philip Muscatello's second podcast takes the same beginner-friendly approach as Stocks for Beginners but with a broader global perspective and a deeper episode catalog of 438 shows. Shares for Beginners covers stock market investing across multiple exchanges -- the ASX, NASDAQ, S&P 500, FTSE, and Dow -- and brings in finance industry professionals to demystify investment jargon and strategies. The interview format works well because Philip consistently steers conversations toward practical takeaways rather than letting guests speak in abstractions. A recent episode featured Vincent Randazzo from ViewRight Advisors explaining a historical signal that has predicted market crashes before they happen, complete with specific data points and what ordinary investors can do with that information. Another applied Tykr's stock-picking methodology to Adobe, weighing its strengths against the threat of generative AI tools eating into its creative software dominance. The show also examined Ecopetrol, Colombia's largest oil company, using a quality-at-value framework that listeners can apply to their own research. Philip has a knack for finding guests who know their subject deeply but can explain it without assuming the listener has an MBA. Episodes run 30-40 minutes and arrive multiple times per week, giving beginners a steady stream of real-world investing education rooted in actual companies and actual market conditions rather than abstract theory.
