Just like the last weekend of May, the first weekend of June brings you another show where we spend the first hour answering various coronavirus related money questions that continue to flood the inbox.
In hour two we bring you an interview we did back in 2017 with Jason Zweig. Maybe you don't know the name, but chances are you know his work. The “Intelligent Investor” column that you read every Saturday in the Wall Street Journal…yep, that’s his awesome work.
The interview covers the power of index funds, the importance of having rules in your financial life, the beauty of passive investing and the importance of technology and humans working together.
If you like Jason’s column, you should also check out his books. His most recent one, The Devil’s Financial Dictionary, skewers the plutocrats and bureaucrats who gave us exploding mortgages, freakish risks, and banks that are too big to fail. It also distills the complexities, absurdities, and pomposities of Wall Street into plain truths and aphorisms anyone can understand.
