Welcome to Women Take Stock! 

We are four friends with not a business degree among us. We are  newbies in stock investing, but we are wading knee deep into this territory where women are underrepresented.

Join us each week as we dive deep into a topic, whether it’s How to Research a Stock, What Makes an Expert, The Psychology of Trading, or What The Heck Is Cryptocurrency, Anyway?

We'll do a reveal on our own portfolios, the companies behind them, and why we decided to invest in each. We have fun at our own expense - our own literal expense, sometimes.

We hope you’ll be entertained and soak up some trading intel as we venture along the path to changing our own financial stories.

Welcome to our premiere episode, in which four friends:  A. Say hello!  B. Fess up to ignorance... and wisdom! C. Talk about one of the most taboo subjects among friends... money! & D. Establish a few challenges for the weeks to come. 

In today's episode we talk about what makes an expert and, you know, how to differentiate expertise from, say, mansplaining. Who should we believe?  Who should we trust when we're trying to figure out how to invest? Because, really, at the end of the day, is there a difference between investing in the stock market based on the so-called "experts" or from fortune tellers? Should we just pull a few tarot cards to get some guidance on how to invest? We put it to a (very unscientific) test.
