Stocks for Beginners

Philip Muscatello hosts this focused, educational show that does exactly what the name promises -- it teaches stock market investing to people who are just getting started. Over 230 episodes, Philip has built up a library covering value investing fundamentals, how different stock exchanges work (NYSE, FTSE, Dow, S&P 500), what ETFs and mutual funds actually are, and how to think about risk management and diversification in practical terms. The format usually involves Philip interviewing a guest with specific expertise, whether that is a fund manager explaining their stock-picking methodology, a risk analyst discussing crash prediction signals, or a financial educator breaking down valuation frameworks. Recent episodes analyzed Adobe's stock against the backdrop of AI disruption, explored a historical signal that has preceded major market crashes, and evaluated a high-yield oil stock using a systematic quality-at-value approach. What makes this show particularly useful for newcomers is that Philip asks the kinds of questions a beginner would ask -- he is not trying to impress his guests with his own knowledge, he is trying to extract clear explanations that his audience can actually use. Episodes run 30-45 minutes and maintain a conversational, unhurried pace. Philip also hosts the related Shares for Beginners podcast, giving him deep experience in making investment concepts accessible.
