Episode notes

When you buy a bond, you don't have any ownership in the company. Bonds are set up so that at the end of your investment period, you get all of your initial investment back. If the company ends up not doing well and they aren't generating enough cash to pay back their debts, then there is no guarantee that they could pay you back. And history has shown most active managers cannot consistently outperform the market.

On today’s show, I talk with Stig Brodersen. Stig is Co-Founder and Co-Host of We Study Billionaires by The Investor’s Podcast Network, a best-selling author, and a former college professor. He has successfully grown We Study Billionaires to the #1 stock investing podcast in the world, while building a platform that is also a leading authority in stock investing.
