Summary
There used to be a clear distinction between public and private companies. Firms would take years or even decades to grow, build their revenue and profits, and eventually tap the public markets to go national or even global. This is no longer how it works.
Dave Nadig is President and Director of Research at ETF.com, and he shares with us how investors should navigate all of these new products. Each week, “At the Money” discusses an important topic in money management.
From portfolio construction to taxes and cutting down on fees, join Barry Ritholtz to learn the best ways to put your money to work.
