Making Sense of Passive Investing

Can you catch a falling knife? Take a shot at deciphering the jargon-laden world of investing in this riveting episode of Ditch the Suits. We're calling out the industry's marketing gimmicks and untangling the knotted web of passive and active investing.

We break down some of the most popular definitions of "passive investing" from sources like Investopedia, Nerd Wallet, and many others.  

Be ready for some myth-busting as we expose why you can't play pick and choose with stocks within an index fund. Also, for those just dipping their toes into the investing pool, we dive into the captivating cosmos of growth and value stocks and their fundamental role in passive investing.

The price is right, but is the value right? In this episode, we examine the often-overlooked aspect of value versus price in investments. We reveal how timing your purchases just right can make a sea change in your investment returns. From the potential pitfalls of the buy-and-hold approach to the importance of understanding an investment's worth, we've covered it all.
