🎙 In part 4, the final part of this series, we’re looking at non-financial factors that can make or break a stock market investment. When picking stocks, it’s important to consider not only the company leadership team, but also the political and economic factors where the company operates. These factors will impact the returns you can earn on your investment. 🤔

This episode discusses topics like:

🌟 Why you need to Google a company’s CEO before you buy stocks in their company;

🌟 How to determine whether a company is at risk of being outperformed by new competitors; and

🌟 Why it’s important to understand what’s going on around the planet before you start buying individual stocks.
