Nice podcast Moneystepper. I prefer the passive investing because I don’t worry about what the price of gold is doing this week nor do I spend days buried in company reports trying to evaluate stocks. This is just one of the best reasons I consider why passive investing is more advantageous.
Such a great podcast! I’m still a beginner when it comes to investing and this one is really helpful to me.
