009 - How Risky Is the Stock Market?
Episode description
On one hand, it's cool to see how many people are interested in investing these days. The shadow side to this awareness and interest is a handful of very dangerous, very toxic, very pervasive, and very skewed perspectives of what it means to invest. One of the biggest questions we get is "how risky is the stock market?" Some people perceive it as a game and engage it with reckless abandon. Others perceive it as risky gambling where you will most certainly lose. Both viewpoints are prevalent, and both are wrong. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton uses historical context and a long-term perspective to frame up the real risk of the stock market. Not individual stocks......the stock market. If you'd like the reader's digest version and save yourself 19 minutes of time, here's the short version: the stock market has very little long-term risk.
