Most people use the words "investing" and "trading" interchangeably — but they're actually two very different games, and the one you choose to play makes all the difference.

Tim walks through why trading is so hard to do, why patient long-term investing is far easier than most people assume, and why relying on the financial news media can actually lead you astray if you're trying to build real wealth.

One Key Takeaway: Investing — owning good things for a long time — is a game almost anyone can win.
