Product Description In just 72 short minutes, this award-winning film systematically debunks the myth that investors can beat the market by picking stocks, timing markets, or by hiring a high-priced commissioned broker or advisor to actively manage their money. Based on Mark Hebner's highly acclaimed Index Funds book, this film advances Hebner's mission to change the way the world invests by replacing speculation with an education.

It cuts through Wall Street hype, including slick sales pitches and fear tactics that make investors feel the need to trade.

Once investors understand the concepts, they can invest and relax. Brian Schroeder (Investment Change Evaluations, LLC) says of the film, "For the novice or seasoned expert, this movie is fantastic.
