Most investors hear the word “risk” in investing and assume it only refers to the likelihood of losing all their money on an investment. Today, Paul explains why the concept of risk in investing is more complex, covering topics such as sequence of returns risk, benchmarking, and whether stock markets are riskier today than they were in the past. Later in the episode, Paul discusses a 20-year-old day trading rule that was recently overturned, which will likely generate more revenue for companies and increase risk for traders.   Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?
