    Ep 9 - Overcomplicating Simple ETF Strategies
    Nov 10 2025

    This week Bob and Nelson tackle a big mistake we see investors do all the time -- when they take simple ETF portfolios and feel the need to tinker with them, and how the financial industry enables this by creating so many similar products. The result? Portfolios with overlap, extra fees, and just plain underperformance. A must-listen for any ETF investor.

    But more importantly, such a strategy really helps mentally. Tune in to hear what we mean about that.
