Manage episode 265917886 series 2321353
Over the last couple weeks, we've seen the return with a vengeance of volatility in the markets with some of the biggest highs and lows in history all within a short time span. With these swings, we're starting to see non-investor voices give investing advice that really boils down to gambling. The message from these media personalities is loud and clear: now is the time for people to become active investors.
Is there room for this type of investing? The answer revolves around your current situation and your long-term goals. In this episode, Erik & Brandon give some helpful thoughts on how to view this concept and address topics and questions including:
- Why Shaq’s free throw record relates to investing
- The myth of entertainment-based trading
- Should we pay attention to what the media is telling us? How much credence should we give to news sites advice on the investment decisions we should be making?
- Day trading vs long-term investing
- How the active investing we're seeing in mainstream conversations is similar to sports gambling
- How do we most effectively grow our wealth over the long-term?
- How do you stay disciplined over the long term and not fall for the get rich quick gimmicks?
