In Part 2 of our “Investing Myths” series, William and Paul Barreca return to tackle seven more common (and costly) investing myths — this time focused on portfolio construction, diversification, and so-called “safe” investments.
These are the myths that trip people up after they’ve started investing — often without realizing it.
💡 In this episode, we debunk:
❌ “Fallen stocks always bounce back”
❌ “More holdings = more diversification”
❌ “Successful investors are big risk takers”
❌ “50% loss + 50% gain = break-even”
❌ “Gold is a safe haven”
❌ “High dividend = safe stock”
❌ “Bonds are risk-free”
📊 Backed by data from YCharts, Hartford Funds, and real-world client experience, this episode is a masterclass in long-term investing clarity.
