This was such a fun episode! When we noticed that Usman Khawaja was part of the Equity Mates community, we reached out to see where he was at on his investing journey. It turned out that he'd just started, and had put money in the markets right before the COVID-19 crash in March. Given that it was the fastest crash in history, we thought Usman would have some lessons to share, so we go him on to chat.In this episode, we discuss:Usman's first equity investmentWhat attracted Usman to the stock marketIf the boys in the cricket change rooms also get around stocks!Usman's investing philosophyHis 'mistake' with AfterpayWhat's in his portfolio, and what stocks he likes looking atHow he determines what to buyPlus much more!__________Have you just started your investing journey?
