  Global Stocks vs US Stocks: Which basket should you choose?

  Jan 23, 202613 minS0

  This comprehensive presentation challenges the common assumption that investing exclusively in U.S. equities through the S&P 500 is the optimal choice, instead advocating for a globally diversified approach using ETFs like MSCI ACWI. While acknowledging that U.S. stocks have delivered superior returns (10.48% CAGR vs. 8.95% for developed markets) over the past 100 years and currently represent 60%+ of global market capitalization, we emphasizes that historical dominance is no guarantee of future performance—citing Japan's decline from 30% to 5% of global market cap as a cautionary tale.<br /><br />The core argument centers on portfolio survival rather than maximization: a globally diversified portfolio na...

  Jan 9, 202623 minS0

  The episode explains why traditional schooling teaches many abstract subjects but almost no practical money skills, even though everyone must manage money for decades.

Instead, the proposed solution is simple index in...

  The Paradox of Skill: Why AI Makes Active Investing Harder, Not Easier (Larry Swedroe)

  Dec 26, 20251h 15mS0

  In this second round with <b>Larry Swedroe</b>, we explore what evidence‑based investing really means in today’s late‑2025, AI‑driven markets. Larry explains why rising skill and technology shrink alpha, turning most active management into a loser’s game and pushing investors toward low‑cost factor strategies rather than stock‑picking “genius”. He discusses value, momentum, private credit and goodwill traps, shows why passive flows have not made it easier for active managers to win, and warns about high‑fee structures in the asset‑management industry. Larry also touches on quantum computing as a tail risk for financial systems and...
