  1. I'm a military historian. I'm better at picking defense contractor stocks and identifying geopolitical risks than most people. That's what they mean when they say invest in what you know.

  2. Dear Ben: Have you ever considered doing a video on stock frauds? By definition a total market index will contain them, and the most recent case of IonQ they took advantage how no one understands quantum physics to claim to possess a magical device.

  3. Patrick Boyle said he found that vice stocks (guns, alcohol, tobacco, gambling) have beat the market overall because many people refuse to touch them. However, the counter-argument is those stocks see increased regulatory risk because they're vice stocks, hence the higher expected returns when all is well.

  5. The video says good stocks to mean well known and hyped up stocks. Buffet was referring to companies with good business models and fundamentals.

  6. The definition of good company here is safe investment. Low chance of major fraud, long chance of management doing something stupid, and low chance of a random event breaking them.

  9. There's a lot of "bad" large caps. For instance, Boeing saw major mismanagement and faced huge fines, but a lot of investors not only refuse to look at Boeing but any ETF containing Boeing. But you must member, someone must have bought Boeing for under 80 bucks a share in 2020 when it had been north of 300 a year before, and made a tidy profit when all the hate and covid died down.

  10. Except Europe doesn't have a growing population like most new developed nations.
