Tips & Tricks: Best Alternative Sources For Investing Information

HOSTS Alec Renehan & Bryce Leske|24 October, 2019

You’ve heard it before – ‘knowledge is power’ – and when it comes to investing, improving your knowledge can be achieved by reading, and reading, and reading. Almost every expert investor we have interviewed has said the best thing you can do to improve your performance is to read and read widely.

We’ve previously spoken about the traditional places we go to find information – books, the major newspapers and financial websites, fund manager letters & reports. The list goes on.

However, there is another rich source of information out there that we tap into, and it’s worth discussing.
Crowdsourcing and forums provide a huge amount of information and ideas, from people all over the world.

In this episode, we walk through some of the major forums and pools of crowdsourced-ideas that we use along our journey.

  • Alec Renehan

    Alec Renehan

    Alec developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure, he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.

    Bryce has had an interest in the stock market since his parents encouraged him to save 50c a fortnight from the age of 5. Once he had saved $500 he bought his first stock - BKI - a Listed Investment Company (LIC), and since then hasn't stopped. He hopes that Equity Mates can help make investing understandable and accessible. He loves the Essendon Football Club, and lives in Sydney.
