The Curve

What is a share price, how is it actually set, and what makes it move up or down. This episode breaks the stock market down to its most basic level, buyers and sellers in a marketplace, and explains why getting emotionally attached to a stock (much like a bad relationship) is one of the easiest ways to make a bad decision. A great primer before you buy your first share.

Diversification is one of those words that sounds boring until it saves your portfolio. This episode breaks down what it actually means to spread your risk, why the stock market works like any other marketplace, and why falling in love with a single investment can be one of the most costly mistakes you make. Comes with a story about a company that no longer exists, and why that matters.

There are four main asset classes: cash, bonds, property and stocks, and this episode ranks them from safest to riskiest and explains why. Property in particular gets a reality check here, since it's the asset most people assume is "safe" without really questioning why. A useful one for understanding where your money is sitting and what that actually means for your risk.
