EPISODE SUMMARY

How can an average person buy stocks and bonds easily and make sure they are diversified in the process? Mutual funds and ETFs (exchange traded funds) can help!

On today’s episode, Evan walks through these two options.  The discussion isn't a recommendation of either or a head to head battle with a winner, but just compares the two investment tools and highlights some pros and cons of both.

Always do your research before investing and be careful about believing everything you hear in advertising!
