Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Investing For Beginners Podcast! In today's episode, we have a very special guest joining us. We are thrilled to have Kevin Carter, the founder and CIO of EMQQ Global, sharing his insights and expertise with our listeners. Kevin is here to discuss INQQ, an India-focused ETF offered by EMQQ Global. We'll explore the potential power and impact of India's unique digital public infrastructure, known as the India stack, and how it is transforming the economic landscape. As we dive deep into India's emerging market, we'll discover why it is becoming increasingly attractive to investors. With a booming middle class, a thriving e-commerce sector, and a government supportive of technology, India has all the right ingredients for exponential growth. Join us as Kevin sheds light on the immense opportunities and challenges of investing in India, the role of emerging market internet companies, and the potential for India to catch up to China in terms of physical infrastructure. We'll also explore the investing landscape in India, the valuation metrics to consider, and the companies that are driving growth in this exciting market. So, grab your notepads and get ready to gain valuable insights from our conversation with Kevin Carter of EMQQ Global. Don't forget to check out their website and remember, always invest with a "margin of safety". Let's dive in! 00:00:44 India is the perfect emerging market. It has the largest population, better demographics, and a fast-growing economy. It also has a unique digital public infrastructure, which is its secret economic weapon. 00:04:26 India's digital and physical infrastructure summary: India's infrastructure investments have led to significant advancements in both physical and digital infrastructure. Under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, massive investments have been made in roads, airports, ports, and the power grid, resulting in substantial progress. The country's digital infrastructure, known as the India stack, includes a national identity card system, a know-your-customer layer, and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), allowing for seamless and cost-free money transfers. India's talent pool, particularly in the technology sector, is unparalleled, making it an attractive destination for outsourcing and investment. 00:20:38 Platform integrating sellers, buyers, and logistics with high growth potential in India market. 00:24:31 Emerging markets lack developed consumption infrastructure. Instead of traditional banking, they use mobile phone-based payments. Companies like Alibaba and Mercado Libre serve as both e-commerce platforms and financial service providers. Ride-hailing apps like Gojek also offer payment services. This trend is gaining traction in India. 00:28:19 Bajaj Finance: profitable Indian smartphone-based lender. India's emerging market and technological advances. 00:31:42 Foreign stock investment in India presents challenges due to regulatory and bureaucratic reasons. Most Indian internet companies go public in India, while Chinese and Latin American companies list on US exchanges for better liquidity. Indian companies face regulatory hurdles and have not sought capital in New York. India's growth potential and digitization make it an attractive investment if one believes in the story. Comparisons to China highlight the importance of choosing the right ETF for exposure to Indian market growth. Valuations in India are currently high, and the Peg ratio is a crucial valuation metric to consider. 00:44:35 Kevin shares interesting information with investors. Invest safely.

Welcome to episode 304 of the Investing for Beginners Podcast! In today's episode, Andrew and I will be discussing the September effect and other seemingly useless information that you might come across in the stock market.

We'll also explore the concept of the Santa Claus rally and discuss the mindset shift that investors need to make in order to focus on long-term success rather than weekly returns. So join us as we debunk these market myths and provide insights on how to compound your wealth effectively. Let's get started! 00:02:13 Don't interrupt compounding by timing investments. 00:04:11 Santa Claus rally not important, noise mostly. 00:08:21 Media sensationalizes news, creating "nothing burger" situations. 00:12:47 Politics is personal, elections noisy, avoid sensationalism. 00:16:54 Fed's impact on economy takes time to show. 00:22:21 Buffett and Ackman on opposite sides: be cautious. 00:24:10 Celebrity investors shouldn't determine your investment choices.

Welcome back to the Investing for Beginners Podcast! In today's episode, "303," we delve into four intriguing listener questions shared with us via Spotify. One of our listeners, Jason, has $10,000 to invest in the stock market and seeks advice on which stock to buy and how to spread it out. We tackle this question head-on in a discussion between Andrew and Dave, emphasizing the importance of learning to fish instead of relying on others for stock recommendations. They suggest starting with our show as a great educational resource, but also provide practical tips on how to spread out investments and mitigate risk. They advise diversifying holdings while remaining mindful of potential returns. Dave recommends investing a portion in an S&P 500 ETF or index fund to dip one's toes into the market. Additionally, he suggests choosing a couple of companies to invest in, preferably familiar ones, to gain insight into individual stock ownership. The goal is to learn and adapt while understanding the dynamic nature of the market. Both hosts stress the value of education and self-discovery in the investment journey. Join us as we explore this listener question and delve into the world of investing with a prudent mindset. Stay tuned! 00:02:01 Invest in index funds, then diversify with individual stocks to learn about the stock market and minimize risk. 00:09:02 Followed the White Rabbit, learned, then invested. 00:12:59 ADRs allow you to own stock abroad. 00:15:28 Tax implications of investing in foreign stocks. 00:20:09 Start with home bias, then branch out. 00:22:31 Big ADRs provide valuable information for investors. 00:25:19 Basic learning is essential for successful investing.

Welcome to the Investing For Beginners Podcast! In this episode, we have a special guest, John Rotonti, who shares valuable insights on the importance of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in determining the intrinsic value and growth potential of a company. John explains that if the ROIC is higher than the cost of capital, it leads to growth and increases intrinsic value. If it is equal, growth is neutral, and if it is lower, growth destroys value. He also breaks down the formula for calculating the economic spread or excess return spread, which is ROIC minus the cost of capital. Throughout the episode, John emphasizes the significance of a high ROIC and a higher economic spread for companies. He highlights how revenue growth, especially organic growth, plays a crucial role in driving intrinsic value growth for companies with a high ROIC higher than the cost of capital. 00:04:49 Thorough research and analysis process for investing. 00:10:08 Watch list, market sell-off, network, investor letters. 00:16:57 Checklist for investing in businesses with tweaks. 00:23:26 Free cash flow yield is the best predictor of future returns, according to multiple studies. To calculate normalized free cash flow, consider factors like cash inflows from selling off businesses. Another method is total shareholder return (TSR), which includes dividend yield and earnings per share growth. Models like discounted cash flow (DCF) and reverse DCF can help estimate fair values. Additionally, analyzing acquisition multiples in the industry can provide insights. 00:35:26 DCF is a discounted cash flow model used to estimate future cash flows. It involves forecasting cash flows over a period of 5-10 years and then projecting them into perpetuity. The value of an asset is determined by the present value of future cash flows, which is calculated through discounting. Three key factors to consider are the size, timing, and riskiness of the cash flows. Building a DCF involves modeling revenue growth, EBIT margins, tax rates, and subtracting reinvestment to determine free cash flows. These cash flows are then discounted using a chosen discount rate. The sum of the present values of these cash flows, along with the terminal value, gives the enterprise value. By subtracting debt and adding cash, the equity value can be determined. Dividing by the number of shares gives the intrinsic value per share. Different scenarios can be explored to determine a range of fair values. 00:46:04 ROIC and free cash flow drive value. 00:51:09 Higher ROIC generates intrinsic value growth through growth. 00:59:01 New Constructs provides accurate financial metrics data. 01:02:11 PE ratios and free cash flow multiples are commonly used by people, but they are often misunderstood. However, understanding the three drivers of the multiple - earnings growth, return on invested capital, and risk - can make them useful. Examples show how different growth rates and cost of capital affect justified PE ratios. As the cost of capital increases, the justified PE ratio decreases. It's important to understand these drivers to make sense of multiples.
