Loud Investing | Spilling the Financial Tea

What if the things you’re already buying could point you towards stocks to explore? And what if scrolling TikTok counted as market research? In episode three of Loud Investing, Sarah and Tash take on the trend “5 things worth they money” and share their own lists. Spoiler: silk pillowcases, olive oil and one very well-loved Coach bag all make the cut. They explore what happens when a brand you already love is having a moment on the stock market—and why Coach isn’t actually called “Coach” on the exchange. Got an investing dilemma, or a question?

What do The Devil Wears Prada, Birkin bags and investing have in common? Welcome to Loud Investing, the podcast where pop culture meets your investment portfolio. In our debut episode, Sarah, a Senior Account Manager at etoro, and Tash, etoro’s Social Media Manager, explore what Anne Hathaway’s big-screen return and The Devil Wears Prada 2 can teach us about money, markets and investing. This episode isn’t really about handbags. It’s about spotting potential investing themes in the things you already know and understand... from fashion and beauty to technology and healthcare. Sarah and Tash unpack the so-called “Miranda Priestly portfolio”, explain why patience matters more than hype, and share how one honest conversation about money can change someone's financial future... especially for women who've been left out of the investing conversation. If you've ever wondered whether investing is for you, start here. Because investing doesn’t have to feel intimidating. It can be familiar, relevant and... dare we say it... a little fun.
