205. The 3 Questions Every Investor Should Answer


Listen Later

Jason and Jeff strip investing down to its core framework. They break down the "Why, What, and How" that every investor needs to answer to build a sustainable and successful portfolio. The duo explores how to align your asset allocation with your time horizon, debates the merits of "set it and forget it" target-date funds versus active stock picking, and highlights the hidden drag of high mutual fund fees. They also tackle the psychological battle of lump-sum investing versus dollar-cost averaging and explain why tracking your overall net worth is far healthier than obsessing over individual stock movements.
