A Hedge Fund Manager Claims Passive Investing Broke the Market

When you see an attention grabbing headline or news story there are two important questions to ask: Is what you’re seeing true? And what is the bias of the writer? Today, Paul and Ira address these two questions when a listener sends in an article about how passive investing is breaking the stock market. It turns out that the article was written by a hedge fund manager. Listen along as the advisors address whether the claim is true and why the identity of the writer is relevant. Later in the episode, the advisors talk about their own personal experiences with owning real estate and how most people who walk into investing in real estate don’t have a clear picture of the work or the financial return.
