About the Episode

Enjoy this re-release of one of my top listened to episodes with my guest, Brian Feroldi.

Brian is a financial educator, author, speaker, creator, and YouTuber. Brian began investing in 2004. He had no idea what he was doing at first, but as his experience and knowledge of the stock market developed, his returns improved considerably. He enjoys assisting others in making better financial decisions, particularly with regard to investments. He joined us today to talk about his book, ‘Why Does the Stock Market Go Up?: Everything You Should Have Been Taught About Investing in School, But Weren’t.’

According to Brian, the most powerful time to start investing is when you are young. The more time that you have on your side, the more powerful the dollars that you are putting into the market. Brian shares the common investing mistakes people make and how to avoid making those mistakes.

We explore the benefits and potential pitfalls of taking a company public and investing in mutual funds. Brian also dives into the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the creation of the S&P 500.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights into the world of finance.
