When people hear “investing,” they often think about hot stocks, market predictions, or timing the next big move. In this episode of The Weekly Wealth Podcast, Certified Financial Planner David Chudyk breaks down what truly matters: how your portfolio is structured, balanced, and managed over time.
This episode isn’t about what to buy—it’s about why you own what you own, how different investments interact, and how intentional design can lead to better long-term outcomes, especially during market volatility.
- Why portfolio construction matters more than picking the “right” investment
- How investors can own great investments but still get poor results
- The difference between intelligence and structure in investing
- Why most portfolios are built unintentionally—and the risks that creates

- Alpha: Returns above what the market provides
- Beta: Exposure to market movement (upside and downside)
- Why many investors mistake higher risk for true outperformance

- The difference between volatility (movement) and true risk (permanent loss)
- How behavior—not numbers—often determines investment outcomes
