What is share investing and how does it relate to the stock market?
Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website. And don't forget to read the PDS and TMD to decide if it's right for you. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.

This podcast contains general financial advice only. That means it's not specific to you, your needs, goals, or objectives, so don't act on the information until you've spoken with your financial advisor. You'll find our full disclosure, disclaimer, and link to our financial services guide in the show notes. Hello and welcome to this Startup Pack episode, Kate. It's always my pleasure to have you with me.
Great to be here, Owen, to talk about one of our favorite topics.
Yes, that's share investing. And just real quick, for those of you that are watching the video, can you see what that is behind me there?
It is a bell, Owen.
It's a big bell. And so when you are a company and you get big enough, you can put your company on the stock exchange. That's called an IPO. And when you're the owner of the business, that day is normally very exciting because it means that you've made it to the big leagues. And you get a bell. You get to ring the bell.
And they take lots of photos and they'll post it on the ASX Twitter account.
That's it. And so this is a joyous day because what it basically means is at that day, then anyone who has a brokerage account can go and buy shares in your company. So let's say you and I started a business together. We'll call it Podcasts R Us. And the Podcasts R Us gets so big and other investors come knocking on our door and say, hey, Kate and Owen, I want to invest in your business. Can I buy 1% of your company? We'd say, no, no, no. We're going to put our company on the ASX and then you can buy shares using a brokerage account. And you would benefit once you buy shares from us doing well, making great podcasts just like this one where we make money and then paying dividends. And dividends are like a return of the profit back to you.
We don't have to pay dividends, by the way. It's up to us.
Yeah, I think we might keep some of the profits to ourselves.
We might keep some of the profits in our bank account, in podcasts or us, and then we would use that to reinvest for more growth. And this is basically what investing is. The problem is when it comes to the share market, everyone between us creating a great business and the investor tries to confuse things. So for example, if you go into your brokerage account, you might see a bunch of whiz-bang charts. You might see all these different numbers and
Broker reports saying buy, sell, hold, overvalued, undervalued, buy up to, sell after.
Yeah, you see ratios, you see things like PE ratios, you see all these fancy finance terms and you get really bamboozled and then you end up buying and selling and then the share price falls and then it rises.
