Some punk is impersonating me on Instagram! In this weeks episode I explain how the scam is working, and what to watch out for when trying to work out whether something is a scam or not. This is a rapidly increasing issue with financial content, so it's really important!

I also expand on part of the discussion with Mark LaMonica in last weeks episode about indexes, and whether the future for index investing looks quite as bright as the last 10 years.
