What this video covers
- How active management seeks to outperform a benchmark while passive management replicates it, and why passive aligns with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)
- Why higher fees, turnover, and reduced tax efficiency are the price of active management, and where active still has opportunity (small-cap, international, emerging markets)
- How growth investing targets above-average earnings growth with high price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-book (P/B) ratios, and why growth stocks typically reinvest rather than pay dividends
- What value investing means: buying below intrinsic value with a margin of safety, and the patience required to avoid value traps
- Why growth stocks carry high valuations due to expected future earnings, not current earnings
- How income investing targets regular cash flow from bonds, preferred stock, dividend-paying stocks, and real estate investment trusts (REITs), distinct from capital appreciation's long-term growth focus
- Why income investing and value investing are not interchangeable: one cares about cash flow, the other cares about price versus intrinsic worth
