It's the title of today's economic podcast I enjoy following. https://www.coindesk.com/10-popular-investing-beliefs-we-should-be-questioning Obviously we all have opinions about investing and that is just that: opinions. What I think is "unique" about us is that we have a lifetime experience and approach to investing with the "been there, done that" attitude. I'd be curious if there are other beliefs you could add to the list - I'm sure you'll dismiss plenty of those that are already listed or shrug others as obvious . To me number 8 and 1 are in that "duh" category but the podcast is geared towards younger crowd so I understand why those are on the list.
In case you don't feel like listening here's the full list of those beliefs worth questioning (he elaborates on each point):
10. Buying a home is better than renting
09. Passive index investing is a good way to build wealth
08. Ignoring compound interest in your twenties and taking risks is ok, you'll have time to make up for it
07. Your portfolio should allow you to sleep at night
06. Markets hate uncertainty
05. Investing in technology companies is not value investing
04. Cash is trash
03. US treasuries are risk free
02. Bitcoin is backed by nothing
01. Stocks only go up
