  • The Diversification Illusion of the S&P 500

    The Diversification Illusion of the S&P 500
    Feb 13 2025

    The S&P 500 was up 25% in 2024, so is that all you need for a strong financial future? Not so fast. Putting all your money in one place—even a good one—is risky.

    Smart investors look beyond the U.S. to global markets, small-value stocks, and international giants like Toyota and Taiwan Semiconductor. More variety = less risk.

    Join us to see just how staying broadly diversified means so much more than simply investing in the S&P 500.

My favorite personal finance podcast

It’s a quick and concise podcast in Q&A format that answers one question per episode. I like that it’s for people who has a foundation of personal finance but want to deep dive into a particular topic. It’s short and detailed, with no BS and time wasted. Highly recommend for anyone who doesn’t want to listen to Dave Ramsey.
