Manage episode 483833126 series 45939
Are We in a Passive Investing Bubble? and Lump Sum Investing vs. Dollar Cost Averaging
Is passive investing creating a stock market bubble? Fiduciary financial advisor Wes Moss dives into the rise of index funds, why they became so popular, and the potential concerns. Also, Wes covers a classic investing strategy: Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). He explains how systematically investing over time can smooth out your cost basis and make investing less daunting, especially with a lump sum. We'll look at how DCA stacks up against investing a lump sum all at once – you might be surprised by the numbers!
Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take.
