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.
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!
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.
Isnt there something better for joe davis to do?
