help Ben Felix Common Sense Investing (YouTube) FAQ
Why does Ben Felix favor broad index funds over picking individual stocks?
Common Sense Investing emphasizes diversification, low costs, and the difficulty of consistently identifying mispriced securities. Felix connects that argument to research on market efficiency and the poor persistence of many active managers' results.
What does Ben Felix mean by factor investing?
Factor investing tilts a portfolio toward characteristics associated in research with differences in expected returns, such as company size, relative price, and profitability. Felix often discusses this through academic models associated with Eugene Fama and Kenneth French.
Is Common Sense Investing focused only on Canadian investors?
The examples often use Canadian accounts, funds, taxes, and market conditions because Felix works in Canada. The underlying discussions of diversification, fees, risk, index investing, and behavioral mistakes apply more broadly.
How is Common Sense Investing related to The Rational Reminder Podcast?
