Today we're going to teach you, well, Jess Inskip is going to teach Jessie DeNuit and Jessie is going to ask alllll the questions along the way to make sure we can all understand the analysis and the jargon! Think of this as a beginners guide, because there is a lot more on the technical analysis side that we can get into in a future episode (let us know if you're into that), but for now, we'll go over the basics of how to research, read, and analyze a stock! Give Your Money A Job, But Do Your Research Start with your investment thesis - remember this from Episode 08? You should have an investment thesis or stock idea now and it's time to validate it! We're using Jess' investment thesis and her stock idea that fits her thesis is Adobe. *we are NOT sponsored by Adobe and this episode is for educational purposes only, not advice* And just like you would do research on a company before an interview, you're going to research this stock and see what this company has been doing and what they're projected to do in the future.

Do you know how to spot if we're in a recession?  We're back from a little break in our cycle, and speaking of cycles, in episode 13, we're talking about periods of economic growth and contraction and the turning points in the economy as defined by the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) - a non-profit and bi-partisan, private research organization. This is called the business cycle, and it's very similar to another kind of cycle you might be familiar with... "The business cycle is like a menstrual cycle, complex yet informative." ~JessIt's Just A PhaseThat's right, there are 4 phases of the business cycle, just like there are 4 phases of the menstrual cycle and we're going to break it down for you in this episode.

In Episode 02 of the Market MakeHer Podcast, we learn what the stock market actually is (with shopping analogies 👜) and how the overall performance of the stock market is measured. In true Market MakeHer fashion, Jess explains these elusive concepts to us in more simplified language, and Jessie stops her to ask questions, define jargon, and break things down in even more relatable terms.  And speaking of "fashion" - the theme for today's episode was "hats" (hence the witch hat and Nasdaq bucket hat). We're open to episode theme suggestions, so be sure to send us your ideas for the video version of this podcast.  What we learned in Episode 02:* What the stock market is and how it is similar to those buy/sell/trade clothing stores (it even has open and closing hours: 9:30 am - 4:00 pm EST)* What the 3 major indexes are (also called "indices" pronounced in-dih-sees) and how they help us measure the "health" of the stock market - the value of all the stocks.* Difference between "price weighted" and "market cap weighted"* Difference between micro-cap, small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap (these things are not necessary to know right now at a beginner level, but are helpful terms to keep in mind for later)* What are "points" when we hear that "x" index went up or down "100 points," for example? * How do consumers influence the performance of the stock market?* How does "fiscal policy" (what the government does) influence stock value? And how things like "the U.S. debt ceiling," for example, influence stock prices. * The consumers have the power - where we spend our hard-earned money matters ;)   Episode 02 - Simplified and Summed Up:The stock market is a "place" where a collection of stocks are bought and sold. A brokerage firm connects you to this place for you to buy and sell your stocks. The stock market is measured collectively through indexes/indices. Consumers influence sales by deciding where they spend their money, which makes the value of stocks go up and down. Stocks are commonly measured on 3 major indices/indexes (Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Nasdaq - the S&P 500 is the best gauge of how the market is performing because it has the most variety) and this is how we get an idea of how the stock market is performing overall. Learning how to measure the stock market is not super important right now, but we go over some of these things briefly in case you ever really want to understand how it alllll works. Next episode we will cover what stocks are, so stay tuned and subscribe!  Check out the Episode 02 page on www.marketmakeherpodcast.com for additional free information, resources and more!   [Market MakeHer provides educational content and resources for informational and educational purposes only.
