Hello,

On today's episode, I talk about concentrated stock portfolios.  This past year has been the year of the "meme" stock and investors have been piling into the market.  You might wonder, should I pick individual stocks to get wealthy in the stock market?

I explore some data from DFA that looks at the cost of missing out on the biggest winners in the global stock market.  Yes, owning a concentrated portfolio is a good way to out-perform, but you stand the same chance to dramatically under-perform a simple, broadly diversified portfolio of index funds.

Thanks for listening!
