About this episode

The episode discusses concentration risk in the U.S. market, the performance of large-cap tech companies, and the benefits of contributing to a Roth IRA for working children.

We've seen weak performance from U.S. large-cap tech companies this year, but based on their stock market value, these companies still dominate the U.S. market. Peter and Jonathan discuss whether we should be concerned about concentration risk or if having a top-heavy market is a common phenomenon. Plus, hear why you might consider contributing to a Roth IRA for your working child.
