InvestED: The Rule #1 Investing Podcast

I listened to the early stuff and continually heard Phil referring to “the guys” who do this and “the guys” who do that at companies, in finance, etc. Skipped ahead to the latest and it still goes on - assuming an financial advisor is a man in an example, talking about “Mr. Market.” The content and conversation are good, but please don’t assume everyone making decisions and taking action are men. This comment is not meant to be petty :) but rather to remind to be inclusive. When talking about financial independence it is limiting to leave people out with our words.

I wish you could focus more on the main message / messages of each episode and dive into some details and analysis related to each message instead of general prolonged statements. I learned a lot from your book “rule #1” and I like both of you. Thanks!

To the folks complaining about Phil talking about Mr Market as though he is being antifeminist: it is very clear you didn't listen to many episodes and didn't read any of the extensive book recommendations. Mr Market is a term coined by Ben Graham in the 1940's and is still used today. And Phil has encouraged women +++ to get into investing and has pointed out he is disappointed that the money market is mostly run by men. Don't review if you don't listen? My issue with this pod is that since Danielle got long covid, Phil essentially went from fawning all over her and being very supportive to now being really annoyed with her in most episodes. It's awkward to listen to someone cut someone off with a sarcastic "whatever" when they aren't agreeing word for word on something. It's really feeling like you guys have something you need to work out- privately. Or maybe one of you isn't interested in doing the podcast anymore but the other is? That sparkle is gone. Maybe it's time to teach about some new topics.

This podcast, as well as the book, is a must listen to anyone who wants to be a serious diy investor.
