A professional investor teaches me how to pick stocks | Jess Gets Investing

Jess wants to venture beyond ETFs to the world of stocks. Eeek- intimidating!

After deciding to set up a Core-Satellite portfolio, she is keen to explore adding some individual companies to the Satellite.

But she’s never bought a stock before, let alone analysed a company. So where on earth should she begin?

Who better to answer that then a professional investor who picks stocks for a living.

Anna Milne, Deputy Portfolio Manager at Wilson Asset Management joins to the show to teach Jess what an absolute beginner needs to know about buying stocks - things like:

• How to find stock ideas and start researching a company
• Where to find the information you need
• The Red & Green flags to look when deciding if it’s a good investment
• When is the right time to buy a stock
• Mistakes to avoid
• AND Anna shares a stock idea for Jess to consider!

Plus - Jess meets a community member who’ll be a familiar face to any AFL fans- Chad Warner from the Sydney Swans. They chat about how he caught the stock picking bug and what he has in his portfolio.
