Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Biggest Risk in Investing? It's You! | The Informed Investor 37
Q: Why do you believe the biggest risk in investing is behavioral, not market risk?
Behavioral risk dominates because decisions driven by fear, overreaction to news, and short-term thinking can derail long-term plans even when markets themselves are efficient. A disciplined, goal-driven approach with clear plans mitigates that risk.
Inside the ETF Boom with Todd Rosenbluth | The Informed Investor 38
Q: What should investors watch for with actively managed or complex ETFs?
The guest emphasizes looking beyond ticker names and expense ratios to understand the actual use case, risk, and structure, noting that complexity requires deeper due diligence.
Inside the ETF Boom with Todd Rosenbluth | The Informed Investor 38
Q: When was the first ETF launched in the world?
Todd explains the first ETF originated in Toronto in 1990, marking the start of global ETF development and informing the long-term growth of the industry.
What Did Bob Pisani Learn from 35 Years on Wall Street? | The Informed Investor 39
Q: How did your views on investing evolve from the early CNBC days to embracing indexing?
Interactions with mentors like Bogle and Schiller, combined with the realization that persistence in outperformance is often luck, shifted him toward long-term, low-cost, index-based approaches and away from chasing short-term trading gains.
What Did Bob Pisani Learn from 35 Years on Wall Street? | The Informed Investor 39
Q: What is the key advice you would give financial professionals about communicating complex ideas to clients?
Be audience-centric, avoid jargon, and explain why a concept matters to the listener. Don't market in a way that mimics a marketing department; instead, present yourself as a thought leader who clarifies why a product is relevant.
