Common Investing Mistakes - Part 2

Last week, we covered some of the most common investing mistakes professionals make. In this episode, we continue with Part 2 and go deeper into the habits and decisions that can quietly hold your portfolio back, while giving you a practical framework to move forward with more clarity and intention. We break down key pitfalls such as not understanding your asset allocation or time horizon, treating each account separately instead of viewing your investments as one portfolio, and missing the opportunities within tax-advantaged accounts like traditional and Roth. We also talk about the impact of investing without a clear tax and fee strategy, including expense ratios, staying on autopilot without revisiting your goals, and following advice that does not align with your personal situation. Tune in to learn a simple framework to understand your investments, how they fit your long-term plan, and the risks, fees, and taxes that come with them.
