Index Funds for the Long Haul? Why Some Pros Are Nervous
About this episode
We unquestioningly repeat the knowledge that index funds are the easiest way to “passively” build wealth. But what happens when too many investors go passive? Is this the most “benevolent bubble” in history? (Fair warning: That description is hyperbolic.) In this week’s solo expedition, I attempt to make sense of these claims—and what it would mean if they’re true.
(I am not a licensed financial professional, I’m just a podcaster with internet access, so please do your own due dil.)
