Episode 3517: Jesse Cramer breaks down a deceptively simple question by showing that the value of any investment depends entirely on your goals, time horizon, and strategy. He contrasts emotional stock picking with disciplined, research-driven decisions, ultimately making a compelling case that for most people, simple index fund investing is a smarter, more reliable path to long-term success. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bestinterest.blog/are-my-investments-good/ Quotes to ponder: "Hand-picking stocks is hard, and you’re probably not smarter than the market." "Investing is a no called-strike game." "I can’t tell the difference between good pitches and bad pitches, so the market throws me average pitches every single day."
