## Resource

Most people own stocks but don’t actually understand why they work. In this episode I break down equities from the ground up - why businesses compound, which sectors have actually performed, whether international stocks are worth it, and if factor investing actually works. This is part of an ongoing series covering every major asset class. Stocks are the foundation - so we’re starting here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
