Episode notes

The odds of small cat value being helpful to somebody moving forward, then we conclude is pretty good. It's an imperfect science, but we try to look for things that have overwhelming evidence that they're likely going to be helpful. We would not recommend that somebody put all of their money only in small cat value for their entire lifetime.

Robert Leonard chats with Chris Pedersen, who is an engineer by training, and new opportunity finder by nature & Paul Merriman, who is a nationally recognized authority on mutual funds, index investing, and asset allocation. They talk about how young investors should be thinking about inflation, financial advisors, ETF investing strategies, how to supercharge and simplify your investments, how to start a financial education non-profit and more!
