In Part 2 of our “Investing Myths” series, William and Paul Barreca return to tackle seven more common (and costly) investing myths — this time focused on portfolio construction, diversification, and so-called “safe” investments.

These are the myths that trip people up after they’ve started investing — often without realizing it.

💡 In this episode, we debunk:

❌ “Fallen stocks always bounce back”

❌ “More holdings = more diversification”

❌ “Successful investors are big risk takers”

❌ “50% loss + 50% gain = break-even”

❌ “Gold is a safe haven”

❌ “High dividend = safe stock”

❌ “Bonds are risk-free”

📊 Backed by data from YCharts, Hartford Funds, and real-world client experience, this episode is a masterclass in long-term investing clarity.
