About this episode

This week, Sim and Maia dive into the ongoing debate between investing in individual stocks versus funds, breaking down the pros and cons for beginner and seasoned investors alike. They highlight the control, reduced fees, and potential higher gains that individual stocks offer, while also addressing the challenges of diversification, emotional investing, and time management. Ultimately, they suggest a balanced approach, with the majority in funds and a small portion in individual stocks, especially for those new to the investment world.
