NerdWallet Personal Finance
About this episode

Understand news-based stock market trading strategies and risks and discover alternative strategies for smarter investing.

Should you trade stocks based on news events? What are alternative investment strategies to news-based trading? Investing Nerd Sam Taube joins hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski to discuss the wisdom—or folly—of news-based trading strategies, after Sean and Anna break down the latest personal finance headlines around job market trends and consumer confidence from the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers. Sam explains how news has played out in the stock market, including some unexpected outcomes that illustrate the difficulty in predicting market movements based on news events. The hosts transition to a discussion on alternative investment strategies, such as value investing, growth investing, and dividend investing. They delve into the nuances of these approaches, offering three listener-focused takeaways to help navigate the complexities of the stock market.

In their conversation, the Nerds discuss: personal finance, investing strategies, stock trading, financial news, alternative investments, value investing, growth investing, dividend investing, market trends, economic data, interest rates, consumer confidence, money headlines, job market, stock market, news-based trading strategies, investing tips, wealth management, market analysis, financial literacy, money management, investment options, economic indicators, stock market outlook, financial trends, investment decisions, news events, market volatility, economic outlook, investing education, and portfolio management.
