<p>osh here - on the 20th anniversary of Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth, I discuss why it's the book that changed the entire trajectory of my career and laid the groundwork for my investing philosophy.</p><br><p>Many books and authors have been influential and important to my understanding about how the market works. Simple Wealth, however, was the first book that made me want to dedicate my life to helping others invest and make sure they don't fall prey to all the wrong information and advice they're being assaulted with on a regular basis. </p><br><p>Nick Murray has taught thousands of financial advisors about the inherent dignity of our careers and the absolutely necessity of our work for the improvement of society. Building, managing and living with a portfolio's ups and downs can be simple, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Our job, according to Nick, is to continuously remind people why they must bear risk and endure a lifetime's worth of volatility if they're going to truly succeed in the markets and in life. </p><br><p>Michael makes a point about finding the right book at the right time in our lives, and for me, finding Nick's writing ten years ago was exactly what I needed. </p><br><p>Other books mentioned include Jack Schwager's Market Wizards and Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor. </p><br><p>Nick's book is only available at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fnickmurray.com%2F&amp;v=-uQURe5sV-Q&amp;redir_token=kZBOKjvDoZ8sSBQOXIcJY8m-S658MTU1Nzc1NzQwN0AxNTU3NjcxMDA3&amp;event=video_description" target="_blank">http://nickmurray.com/</a></p><br><p>Enable our Alexa skill here - "Alexa, play the Compound show!"</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ</a></p><br><p>Talk to us about your portfolio or financial plan here: </p><p>http://ritholtzwealth.com/</p><br><p>Obviously nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice just for you or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities.

Sean is surprised by how little time financial advisors seem to spend on their investment management-related efforts relative to things like prospecting, relationship building, etc. According to this survey of investors posted by Michael Kitces, advisors are spending an average of 10% of their time on investment management, which Sean believes is a big disconnect considering how important results are to the end client. </p><br><p>Enable our Alexa skill here - "Alexa, play the Compound show!"</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ</a></p><br><p>Talk to us about your portfolio or financial plan here: </p><p>http://ritholtzwealth.com/</p><br><p>Obviously nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice just for you or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities.

<p>Two dueling versions of the looming retirement crisis that affects millennials, Gen Xers and Boomers in various ways. Mary Childs wrote that the shortfall is actually worse than we all think. For example:</p><br><p>The average saver puts 6.8% of their annual income into their workplace retirement plan...</p><br><p>Boomers are saving 8.5% of their annual income, while Gen X workers save 7.4%. Millennials are saving just 5.7% because many of them are more focused on paying down debt, starting a family and buying their first home. Okay, so far this makes sense.</p><br><p>But according to the article, "Two-thirds still factor in income from Social Security, in addition to what they’re saving for retirement personally, the survey found. But 42% don’t even believe those benefits will be available to them when the time comes. What’s worse, 27% of American workers have already borrowed against their workplace retirement plan, and 27% have accepted penalties to pull money out."</p><br><p>Enable our Alexa skill here - "Alexa, play the Compound show!"</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Ritholtz-Wealth-Management-LLC-Compound/dp/B07P777QBZ</a></p><br><p>Talk to us about your portfolio or financial plan here:</p><p>http://ritholtzwealth.com/</p><br><p>Obviously nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice just for you or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities.

<p>In a recent study, Vanguard took a look at the last 30 years worth of data for the Russell 3000 index, which represents the total stock market. They found something remarkable - over the last 30 years, 47% of stocks were unprofitable investments and almost 30% lost more than half their value. They also found, and this is the big one, that 7% of stocks had cumulative returns over 1,000%.</p><br><p>But imagine how hard it would have been to identify that winning 7% and concentrate only on those holdings in advance? In his recent post, Michael Batnick takes Vanguard's data and looks at the long-term risk of trying to only hold a small amount of stocks, even if you have the conviction that they are the right stocks. Diversification has a much better track record than randomized collections of larger positions.&nbsp;</p><br><p>What are the ramifications of this for portfolio construction?
