Today, Paul shares a story about running into an investor who feels a lot more peace about his investments after connecting the dots on standard deviation.

Listen along as Paul helps explain why standard deviation helps you determine if you’re drifting off course or if you’ve found a reliable investment. Later in the episode, Paul explains the hurdles that electric vehicles still need to overcome to be the future of transportation and why the market will eventually find the best solution for consumers and not the one that people are most excited about right now.

Paul and Evan talk about how the financial industry sells the “safest” and “best” product to investors given market conditions, and then the financial media swoops in to convince investors of some new information that pushes everyone in a different direction. Listen along as these advisors ask investors: During a time war, political uncertainty, elections, and new technology, do you want to trust that these companies know what is going to happen next? Instead, Paul encourages investors to take an approach that allows them to spread their risk out and unplug from the news.

Later in the episode, Paul talks about how investors are sold investments based on past performance and predictions of the future and how to get out of a cycle of buying high and selling low when things don’t work out.
