Here's a fun fact you may not know: "in the 1890's and early-1900's through, say, the 1920's, bicycles - to people of that generation - meant for the first time in history no one had to hitch or saddle a horse [to get around]." That's according to author/journalist/historian and today's guest, PETER JOFFRE NYE. A second edition of his book, 'Hearts of Lions: The History of American Bicycle Racing', is now available.

Mizzou business professor and author, JOHN HOWE, takes on what he calls, "home bias investing." In short: putting all your eggs in one basket - the U.S. basket, not the U.S. and China basket, for example - isn't necessarily a smart move because it lacks diversification, which can actually hurt the return on your investment(s) in the long run. So why do people still do it? November 26, 2021
