The 7investing Podcast

There are a lot of new people investing in the stock market. That’s great, but many new investors don’t really know what they’re doing. That’s true of most investors when they start (us too) but it’s possible to let mistakes we’ve made help keep you from making the same ones. On this episode, we’ll look at a number of investing no-nos and mistakes that are very common and even taught or encouraged by some seemingly credible sources of information. Welcome to 7investing.

Last September, our 7investing team spoke about the importance of investing internationally. We believe that by searching beyond America's borders (or whatever country you're reading this from), investors can get a more holistic look at the innovation that's taking place across the globe. Different cultures, governments, and consumer habits mean that it isn't always so simple for massive companies to translate their success overseas. We've made it a point to discuss this topic on several different occasions. In this month's 7investing Team Podcast, our advisors once again set our sights overseas. We call out the countries that we're paying close attention to, recent developments that have important implications, and the specific companies that are on our investing radar. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include StoneCo, HDFC Bank, Fairfax India Holdings, Ozon Holdings, Starbucks, Disney, and Bilibili. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

In this conversation, 7investing Lead Advisor Matthew Cochrane sits down with Eric Clark, a brand strategist and dedicated investor in leading global consumer brands. Clark believes that a strategy solely dedicated to investing in the world's best consumer brands. Clark does not think that a portfolio solely dedicated to consumer brands is limiting but is a distinct advantage. With consumer spending topping about $40 trillion a year, Clark believes the world's greatest companies are found in this space, and there is little competition that focuses exclusively on this sector. Clarks breaks down brands into three categories:   Mega brands represent the core of the portfolio, and all have a real chance to reach a $1 trillion market cap. These companies are highly recognizable and market leaders in their respective industries.  Innovator brands are those companies that are competing with and trying to disrupt the legacy leaders in their fields. These stocks can be more volatile but offer higher upside.  Turnaround brands, or tactical trading ideas, are investment opportunities more short-term in nature, stemming from the market discounting the company's stock based on the latest news rather than the company's long-term potential. The conversation soon turned to the state of the economy, especially consumer spending. Clark believes that with higher savings rates, jobs coming back, and extended government aid such as extended unemployment benefits and stimulus checks, that the economy has a chance to appreciably rebound as it re-opens. Along the way, Clark and Cochrane discuss companies such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), their mutual love for San Diego, and how they teach their kids about investing.    Clark can be found on Twitter @dynamicbrands, and you can find out more on his brand research on his website, globalbrandsmatter.com.

Investors are already quite familiar with several of the biggest trends taking shape in the tech world. Artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, e-commerce, and digital streaming are huge movements that are attracting hundreds of billions of dollars all across the globe. The companies who are leading these trends — such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Netflix — are also attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in their stock market valuations. Several growth-style investors who are intrigued by these trends might want to find smaller opportunities who haven’t already become the market’s largest companies. But perhaps there is a less obvious and more creative way to invest in the world’s largest tech trends. And we reached out to an expert in the space to learn more. Sean O’Hara is the President of Pacer ETFs, an ETF issuer with more than $5 billion of assets under management. His team is investing in the critical infrastructure that is crucial to support the developing tech trends, such as datacenter buildings and cellular tower operators. Several of these companies are organized as publicly-traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), and they’re benefiting from the exponential growth of data. In an exclusive interview with 7investing, Sean describes “the four horsemen of the internet” and explains why 5G is such a big deal. He reveals who will be the largest beneficiaries of increasing cellular traffic, and what companies could be the hidden gems that are still off the radar of most investors. Sean also describes several other ETF strategies, such as identifying “global cash cows” with high free cash flow yields and how his firm is investing in China. Sean and Simon also have some fun sharing thoughts about self-driving cars and how some companies represent Texas bovine. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

The market can be a volatile place. A few years ago, the prices of cannabis stocks got fired up but ended up going up in smoke. Cryptocurrencies have gone from cashing in to cashing out. And GameStop went from "game on" to "game over" within a few short weeks. Stock prices can shoot to the moon and then come crashing back down to Earth in short periods of time. But it's important to recognize the difference between short-term momentum trading and long-term growth-style investing. In the latter, investors can methodically identify and invest in disruptive companies who are capitalizing on larger trends. And because they are still unknown or underappreciated in the public markets, early investors can create fortunes by buying-and-holding them over long periods of time. This growth-style investing approach is exactly what is preferred by 7investing founder and CEO Simon Erickson. In a conversation with Robert Leonard of Millennial Investing, Simon describes his investing process and what it means to be a growth-style investor. He explains the drivers of why stock prices go up (or down) over time, the role of leadership in valuation, and a few landmines investors should always avoid. He and Robert also compare investing to Texas Hold Em, give a few investing book recommendations, and offer advice for those getting started with investing. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Berkshire Hathaway, Nuance Communications, and Tesla. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.
