How the first MD of CommSec invests today: Paul Rickard’s lessons for every investor
Manage episode 515001807 series 3695484
What does it take to change the way Australians invest—and what do you learn along the way? In this candid episode, Paul Rickard (the first ever managing director of CommSec and co-founder of The Switzer Report) opens up about the highs and lows of a career spent at the heart of the markets.
Paul reveals how he was once booed for winning Stockbroker of the Year, shares the untold story of how he helped launch CommSec inside the Commonwealth Bank, and offers a no-nonsense take on the stock tips every investor should know—whether you’re new to the market or have seen a few cycles.
He also gets personal, reflecting on what he wishes he’d known early on, what he really wants to be when he grows up, and the one mindset shift that can separate success from failure in investing.
You'll fall over when you hear what he bought CommBank stock at!
If you want to learn from someone who’s seen it all—from boom times to busts, bubbles to breakthroughs—this episode is not to be missed.
