Between 1950 and 2009, 78% of companies listed on the US stock market went bankrupt. That was a finding from Geoffrey West in his book Scale.

Makes the stock market seem pretty risky right?

In that time, the US stock market grew 23,249%. Or, put another way, each $100 invested in 1950 turned into more than $200k. In this episode we share how you can reconcile those two numbers and ultimately why companies may die but indexes are forever.

Here's what else we cover in today's episode:

• How indexes have changed over time
• Adam Dawes returns for another Pimp my Portfolio
• The challenge of ETF overlap: what is it, when is it okay and how can you measure it?

Resources discussed:

• Examine ETF overlap with ETF Tracker
• Pick up our book Don't Stress, Just Invest
• Have a question? Ask via our website and we'll answer it on the podcast.
