Episode notes
Passive Investing For Most People
- Most people should be passive investors because active investing has low probability of consistent success.
- Liquidity in stocks creates emotional trading that passive strategies avoid.
Use SPIVA Data Before Picking Active Funds
- Check the SPIVA data to see how most active managers perform versus indices.
- Use evidence, not anecdotes, when choosing passive or active strategies.
Volatility Increases Behavioral Risk
- Larger volatility widens the peak-to-trough range and increases chances of bad decisions.
- Broad index exposure smooths extremes and better suits most investors' behavior.
