E46: Stocks on Our Radar - $OKLO & $SPHR + How to Invest Your First $1,000

Wall Street Wildlife Investing Podcast

In a brand new segment, we each pitch a stock that's on our radar:

⚡️ Luke looks at Oklo $OKLO, pioneering next-generation nuclear power plants, and with a close relationship to OpenAI

⚪️ Krzysztof thinks bananas are to be made in Sphere Entertainment $SPHR, a best in class venue located in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas

Find us online and vote for your 'most interesting watchlist idea'!

This week we also deep dive into a crucial question 📬 from one of our listeners: “I have $1,000 to invest — how do I get started?”

In the midst of answering, we get into a fur-flying scrappy brawl about the merit — or lack-thereof — of buying one share of a market tracker like $SPY. Monkey says “it’s a quick way of seeing how the market has performed during your investing career”, while Badger’s claws look for blood out of the needless complexity.

There's much investing wisdom here, so beginners take heed and ask us follow-up questions on X or YouTube.
