As human beings, our brains are wired to solve problems. This can make long-term investment
strategies, like passive investing, surprisingly challenging, especially if you’re not accustomed to
the ups and downs of the market – it can feel pretty unintuitive to stay the course when your
instinct is to take more active steps to solve the problem! So, how can investors remain firm in
their strategy and not get spooked by market changes? Joining us today to unpack this question
is financial journalist, Nicolas Bérubé, whose new book From Zero to Millionaire: A Simple and
Stress-Free Way to Invest in the Stock Market serves as a guide to investors on how to grow
their wealth and achieve good portfolio diversification at a low cost. We talk with him about the
contents of his book, his observations on financial media and its effect on investors, how to stay
committed when making long-term investments, and more. We also spend the top half of the
show discussing a popular idea we’ve seen posted by influencers online, namely that investing
in stocks will give you a return of 10% or more per year on average, and the flaws in their
arguments. Tune in for a deep dive into investor psychology, financial media, and much more!
