Stay Calm: Embrace Uncertainty with David Booth | Topeka News

David Booth, legendary investor and KU donor, drops his new book and film “Stay Calm” — a powerful message about embracing uncertainty in life and markets. After co-founding Dimensional Fund Advisors and championing index funds over stock-picking, Booth argues that market noise is distracting, and true wisdom lies in disciplined, passive investing. With a century of data showing stocks averaging 10% returns despite crashes and wars, he urges people to focus on what they can control — like buying the whole market — while accepting the rest. His journey from academia to finance reveals a lifelong belief: trying to predict markets is futile, but making smart, adaptable choices builds resilience. It’s not about avoiding chaos — it’s about staying calm within it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
