Episode 30: The pros and cons of ETFs...


Listen Later

In a quiet week in the stock market, the boys talk about ETFs and Index Fund investments. Legendary investor Warren Buffett recommends that people should put their money into an S&P 500 ETF (or invest into indexes more generally). Find out if the boys agree in this week's Playing FTSE! We begin with Steve W's ETF game, where the boys discuss the pros and cons of Catholic Values and the costs associated with using ETFs to make a bet on Colombia. Then it's on to some more general thoughts about the prospects and perils associated with buying an index or an ETF rather than looking directly at individual stocks. Find out how much Paul, Steve, and Steve know and what processes they go through to work out whether or not an ETF is right for them. What’s been going on in the financial world and why should anyone care? Find out as we dive into the latest news and try to figure out what any of it means. We talk about stocks, markets, politics, and loads of other things in a way that’s accessible, light-hearted, and (we hope) entertaining. For the people who know nothing, by the people who know even less. Enjoy!
