This week's EdPuzzle is a double feature! This video from TwoCents titled "What The Heck Is An Index Fund?" explains the numerous benefits of investing in index funds and how sometimes the way to win is to aim for average!

If you're interested in the previous Two Cents video on diversifying with mutual funds, we have an EdPuzzle for that too!
