Stocks for the Long Run...? (plus Reading Habits w/ Mark Sutcliffe) (EP.211)

<p>Welcome to another episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast!

We also discuss a paper on index investing followed by a quick discussion on gender equality in finance.  We then take a deep dive into today’s main topic, ‘Stocks for the Long Run…?’, by unpacking research to see if stocks are still a valuable long-term investment. Finally, we end the show with a conversation about our 22 and 22 book challenge with Mark Sutcliffe, and find out about his reading habits and the books that have had the biggest impact on him.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Key Points From This Episode:</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>An update about the podcast and feedback received about the crypto series. <strong>[0:03:55]</strong></li> <li>A rundown of the guests we have planned for future episodes. <strong>[0:07:43]</strong></li> <li>Outline of the ‘mixed-bag’ reviews received about the show. <strong>[0:08:28]</strong></li> <li>News and updates regarding the Rational Reminder reading challenge. <strong>[0:13:07]</strong></li> <li>This week’s book review of <em>The Fearless Organization</em> by Amy C.
