Politics matter but can they be a distraction for investors? We discuss the way to handle political complexity in the context of Trump's criminal trial.
There are over 50 million US crypto wallets. Monkey thinks crypto philosophy runs deep and that crypto policies will strongly influence the upcoming US elections. Badger is sceptical.50% or more invested in one holding: we revisit the principles of risk allocation, and how life context matters when making these decisions.
Being an early adopter can spell huge returns or notable losses. This week, we dissect whether jumping into an investment trend at the outset is a savvy strategy or a risky gamble, and explore how our different experiences with early investments have shaped our approach and outlook.
