In this YouTube short, Catherine Bell explains that successful investing is less about making more decisions and more about avoiding "stupid" ones, a principle she cites from Keith Cunningham’s book The Road Less Stupid. She shares that after 20 years of experimenting across asset classes, she discovered she prefers two approaches: acting like a bank (providing capital) and "renting dirt" (investing in land or real‑estate‑type assets). Catherine credits Tommy with the idea for an investor‑style survey, which she says condenses her two‑decade learning curve into a quick tool that helps viewers identify their own investing style, cut out trial‑and‑error, and accelerate wealth growth (“add more commas” to their bank accounts). The short’s purpose is to motivate viewers to take the survey, clarify their style, and make fewer costly mistakes.

Keith Cunningham, in his book, The Road Less Stupid, he says that we don't need to be making more better decisions.
So, because again, if you don't know what your numbers are, how do you know what you're going to do? You know, so— Right.
The other thing I'd like to add, just going back for a second around the investor survey, like where that came from was, and Tommy came up with this idea, is because when I share my story, it took me like 20 years of investing and literally doing all the different asset classes of investing to discover that I like two things. I like to be the bank and rent dirt. So Keith Cunningham, in his book, The Road Less Stupid, he says that we don't need to be making more better decisions. We need, we need to be making less stupid decisions. And so by doing that, like really thinking through the things, the investor survey literally helps you make less stupid decisions and cut straight to it rather than doing, taking the long, hard road path that I did for 20 years. and helping you actually get really clear on your style of investing and hopefully help easing the pain that I went through so that you can add more commas sooner to your bank accounts. So that was the whole purpose of that.
