Keith Matthews is joined by Nicolas Bérubé, an award-winning financial journalist and author (of From Zero to Millionaire), to explore the benefits of a stress-free investment strategy. Nicolas shares his journey from being a curious reporter during the financial crisis to becoming a proponent of index investing, highlighting the importance of understanding market behavior and the futility of trying to predict the future.
