    We've taken the plunge and put money into the stock market through an index fund. Now it is time to take the next step and buy our first company. There are thousands of companies on offer just in Australia, with hundreds of thousands of companies available across the globe (latest estimates 630,000). With so much choice, no one can research every company.

    So we introduce three simple ways to cut down that number of companies to a far more manageable list. This is the daunting part for a lot of people. Starting the research process on individual companies and trying to assess which will be good investments.

    This episode should make a little easier but most importantly, should remind you that you don't need to get it right every time. No one has a 100% track record in investing. The good thing - to build long term wealth you don't even need to get 50% right. By selling companies you are losing money on, and letting your good picks grow and grow - you can still make money while being wrong half the time.

    In this episode we start to unpack how. In this episode you will learn:

    The vast number of companies available for you to invest inThree ways you can narrow down your choicesLook around and use your experiencesFollow the leaderStock screenersKey things to keep in mind when buying individual companies

    One of the best and worst things about investing in the 21st century: there is never a shortage of information. You can find more facts and opinions on a company than you'll never need, but it also means you can get lost in this sea of conflicting opinions.

    One Equity Mates guest referred to it as the "firehose of information" which we think sums it up quite nicely. To manage this information flow, the important skill is not being able to find information but finding the right information. In this episode we break down how we manage information and list some of our go-to sources.

    In this episode you will learn:

    How we find informationDifference between top down and bottom up approachesWhere you can find information put out by companies themselvesWhat you can learn from traditional financial mediaHow the internet has created a whole culture of sharing information and ideasSome of our favourite financial books and podcasts

    Stocks and resources discussed:

    Thought Starters Australian Financial ReviewYahoo financeGoogle financeTrade view

    At Equity Mates we are the only media company with an official policy on jargon. We hate it and officially are against it. A lot of people in the finance thrive when their clients don't understand what is being discussed and don't know what questions to ask. So, pardon the jargon, but here is some you need to know.

    More importantly, at the end of this episode, we explain how we figure out what jargon mean when we come across terms we're unfamiliar with. This will help you do the same next time you come across jargon you're not familiar with.

    In this episode you will learn:

    Market jargon: Bull & Bear, CHESS, Equities, Liquidity, ETF, Crypto & CapitalCompany specific jargon: P/E ratio, Income Statement, Balance Sheet & DividendTrading jargon: Portfolio, Volatility, Yield, Diversification, Allocation & Capital GainsHow to figure out the meaning of jargon you come across in the future

    What have we been talking about... The theme of this episode is all about 'just getting started'. In the spirit of this we are introducing the concept of an index. An index is the perfect opportunity to take the indecision out of getting into the market and giving you access to hundreds of great companies all in one easy trade. It is the perfect way to just get started!

    In this episode you will learn:

    What Bryce and Ren would purchase if they were starting their investing journey againWhat is an indexThe major index in Australia - ASX 200Major indexes around the world - S&P500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ100, FTSE100, DAXA few indexes that track the whole worldTwo main ways you can access an index - on market and off marketHow the ETF has made it easier to access indexes than ever beforeOther ETFs that track 'baskets of stocks'.How you can invest in 'themes' like biotech, marijuana and space exploration
