About this episode

Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill discuss various investment strategies and market conditions in the context of stock selling.

On episode 223 of Ask The Compound, Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill discuss: energy stocks vs. the S&P 500, building the perfect portfolio, overcoming the fear of investing aggressively when you’re young, whether it’s worth sacrificing passion for higher pay, when retirees should finally add bonds, target-date funds vs. index funds in marriage, and whether today’s AI-driven market feels more like smart investing or dot-com bubble euphoria.
