  • ⁠Your Biggest Investment Risk Isn't The Market, It's You

    ⁠Your Biggest Investment Risk Isn't The Market, It's You
    2025/12/15
    Most of us just want to know one thing: what’s the best way to invest? Decades ago, William J. Bernstein had the same question, so he decided to find out. That led him to become an early supporter of the simple, evidence-based approach: keeping costs low, diversifying widely, and not trying to beat the market. It’s basically the philosophy behind modern index investing and he shared it through several classic books, including The Four Pillars of Investing. 🎉Sponsors MoneyWeek Magazine - Try it for free: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://moneyweek.com/money⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TaxZap - Do your tax return / self-assessment: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://makingmoney.email/taxzap⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vanta - Get your company secure and compliant: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://vanta.com/makingmoney⁠⁠⁠⁠ Odoo - Apps to run your business: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.odoo.com/r/MM1⁠⁠ – If you don’t know Bill’s work here’s where I suggest you start:The Four Pillars of Investing: https://amzn.eu/d/hKCTHVJ The Intelligent Asset Allocator (recommended by Jack Bogle himself): https://amzn.eu/d/6NKLjTu The Investor’s Manifesto: https://amzn.eu/d/3kDgo57 – If you purchase a product or service using one of the links above, we may receive a commission.
