Stock Investing Series by JL Collins

Can everyone retire rich? Are index funds just for lazy people? How do you not lose money in the stock market? What is deflation/inflation and how does it affect the economy and our investing strategy? Bestselling author and speaker JL Collins (through the help of an AI voice clone) answers these questions and more in his Stock Investing Series. This series has been read by millions on his blog (jlcollinsnh.com), spawned the international sensation The Simple Path to Wealth, and was presented in part at JL's Talks at Google. Collins, known for his clear and approachable style, breaks down complex financial concepts into understandable segments, making it accessible for both novice and experienced investors. Each episode typically covers a different aspect of stock market investing, such as retirement planning, understanding market fluctuations, the benefits of index funds, strategies for long-term wealth building, and how to navigate financial crises. Collins often shares personal anecdotes and experiences to illustrate his points, adding a personal touch to his advice. The podcast is not just about technical knowledge; it also delves into the mindset and discipline required for successful investing, emphasizing the importance of patience and consistency in building a robust investment portfolio.
