Don’t waste your time. Biased advice and terrible intro music. Index investing might have worked 5-10 years ago but you’re now too late to the game.

This is a really phenomenal podcast. It's teaching me so much about investing. I love the 'bad investment advice' and 'ask the spud' segments because it's answered questions I have and didn't know to ask! Thanks Dan! You're giving me the confidence as I learn both...Read full review »

This is an awesome investing podcast for Canadians! I really enjoy the variety of people Dan brings on to talk to. As a young investor I’ve learned a lot of valuable information that I’m implementing already! Sad to hear the podcast is stopping, may have to re-listen to all the episodes again!

I’m so sad to be through all of the podcasts, but will enjoy listening again. There is so much gold in here; I’m sure I’ll learn even more on the second time around. Dan Bortolotti is the real deal.

Combine this with the wealth of online Canadian Couch Potato information- Portfolios etc....you will have more than enough information to make future investments. I’ve been a couch potato investor for 7 years. Thank you to Dan and all of your guests. Please continue the podcasts in 2019.
Urdaddy99 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/07/19
This is absolutely the best, most informative, and most relevant podcast for normal folks who just want to invest smartly. It’s obviously about Canadian investing but so much of it translates to the US.
M@boston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/19

Overall a pretty good practical podcast but would be great if it included all Canadians, including advice for the tons of expats working overseas. Keep up the good work. Alex

This podcast is a must for every potential DIY investor. Though I do wish it was released more often, I would rather have the quality episodes stay high. Just great.

I'm so used to hearing buzz words and sneaky double-talk from investment managers - no more! Dan tells it like it is, clear and straightforward. And he goes a layer deeper and explains how he comes to conclusions...no black boxes here. Love it.Read full review »
RG Lempera via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/27/18

This is the podcast I look forward to - and which, along with some recommended reading material, helped me get a much better handle on managing my investments.

Thanks Dan for your time in creating this podcast, it is financial advice in plain language that even the basic investor can understand but also touches on more complicated subjects related to etfs
denver poole via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/07/18
This is a fantastic way to pass the time on those commutes daily. Very informative for us Couch Potato investors. Thanks Dan!

Solid advice for looking after your finances. It great to have a podcast about having a long term strategy inside of hearing about this weeks hot stock or sector.
Ruralroads9 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/17
Totally concise and logical, Dan is a very talented financial advisor who truly understands investing fundamentals and his clients. It doesn’t hurt that his voice is also very pleasant to. My favourite part is the “Bad Investment Advice” and “Ask the Spud” sections.
