  • Ok

    2d generation Boglehead and creating a 3d generation so I write this from a good place. Compared to other retirement podcasts this sounds like an infomercial with over laughing and guests over patting each other on the back and talking over each other. Also too many guests on the same episode.

  • Just what I needed

    I was very excited to learn on Instagram that there was now a Vanguard podcast! So far it’s been very helpful for me and I want to listen to each one! So many investing podcasts are a lot of fluff, speculation and confusion. They say not to time the market yet they talk about buying the dip. I don’t get that. I need this information that you are presenting and I look forward to hearing much more down the road. Thank you for putting this out there!

  • Total waste of time

    As a vanguard investor of 3 decades, I find every episode confusing, a waste of time, and the kind of chatty hucksterism Vanguard used to eschew.

    Mr Davis embarrasses himself, IMO.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Asset Category No One Talks About
Q: Dan, you've absolutely crushed a lot of the myths that are around, floating around about international bonds and emerging market bonds. What's the key takeaway?
Look at your portfolio, see if you can use a little bit of EM credit in there, and then look at your portfolio as a whole holistically and analyze your currency exposure.
Tax-Saving Strategies for Savvy Investors
Q: What are some other things that kind of pull against, at least my understanding, conventional wisdom?
There is tax risk in the system, and diversifying tax across investment vehicles is analogous to diversifying an investment portfolio.
Tax-Saving Strategies for Savvy Investors
Q: What do you think is the hurdle for most people in appreciating the numerous things that they can do that's under their control?
The biggest hurdle is the pain of paying taxes, which leads many to think tax efficiency is just about deferring them as long as possible.
Investing in the Age of AI
Q: What if AI doesn't transform? AI actually disappoints?
There's a 30 to 40% chance that AI disappoints, which could present risks for the equity market.
Investing in the Age of AI
Q: Can you talk about megatrends and why investors should care about them?
Davis explains that megatrends like AI, globalization, and demographics play significant roles in shaping the economy and market growth, influencing investment decisions now and in the future.
