In this episode, Simon sits down with Ben Felix from PWL Capital to break down the hype around covered call ETFs, why high yields can be misleading, and how these products often underperform simple index funds. They discuss why “easy income” isn’t free, how marketing and influencers fuel bad investing habits, and whether passive investing is distorting markets. Ben also shares his thoughts on gold, Bitcoin, and why keeping your portfolio simple and globally diversified is often the best strategy for long-term success.
