<prompt> Human: I am a virgin to investing, I am sure many people are in the same boat. I saw the post on The Best documentary on investing I have ever seen and was hoping it would be a great way to dip into the investing world. Then I read the comments. Almost all of them saying it was bull.So, I am interested in learning more, but I dont want to learn the wrong way or get excited about someones luck of the draw and invest badly. Is there anything me and my family should watch movie or documentary that would give us a introduction to investing and where to put our money?  <response>: Ill admit I havent gone back and read through all of the comments to that thread, but I thought many were just saying it was simplistic in its scope. And it was. That doesnt mean it isnt a valuable video for you to watch. You should watch it. You will learn quite a bit and if you apply what you learn, it will be helpful to you. You most likely will never really need to know more.My own comments on that thread if you care to go look at them as purely an example of comments which were not fawning shouldnt be taken as refuting whether the video would be helpful to a lot of people. The problem with the video is that it is simplistic and only concerns one very discrete subject. To suggest it is the best video on investing assumes investing is only a question of comparing actively managed funds with passively managed index funds. It is a very good video for people with no interest or need for more complex understanding of investing.
