54: Learn How To Invest In The Stock Market - Artistic Finance 6K Special

A live episode introducing our 10 part series on learning how to invest in the stock market.

Thank you to all patrons who listened live! Become a patron here.

Dance photographer and theatre electrician Marc Santos joins lighting designer Ethan Steimel to co-host this live audio podcast. Marc and Ethan are from the entertainment industry with no Wall Street training. You will learn alongside them terms like mutual fund, self-directed IRA, and capital gains.

We are putting $1,000 into 6 investments, $6,000 of skin in the game.

Investments and affiliate links to the platforms we're using to manage them in:

ETF (M1 app)
Individual Stock (Robinhood)
Cryptocurrency (Coinbase)
Wine (Vinovest)
Real Estate (WeBull)
Art (Individual Artist)

The rest of the series will include deep dives into each asset class. We'll explain how each investment compares historically to the market, how it is performing for us, and where it belongs in a diversified portfolio. At the end of a year, May 5, 2022, we will rebalance our positions and see if we were able to beat the market, or if we should have given the money to a financial advisor.
