Show Notes

In this episode, Trishul and Aaron explore investing as a hobby. Trishul, the former hedge fund manager, calls it the world's most expensive hobby, while Aaron, the financial planner, can see why some people have fun with it. As long as you aren't risking money needed for long-term goals. And you can stomach the losses. And understand the opportunity cost.  In the end, maybe most people shouldn't be buying stocks for fun?
