  • Barry’s pod is the best!

    I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times.

    Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with.

    Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob ... more

  • Bad host

    Barry Ritholtz is annoying always interrupting the guest and pretends that he knows more than the guest. Don’t keep cutting people off with meaningless phrases. Be humble and listen.

  • The best finance podcast

    First off, Barry knows how to interview his guests. Great questions create engaging and informative conversations. The guests are diverse and there is so much to learn not only about finance but about career paths, success, failure and even book recommendations. This is the long view so if you are looking for get rich quick tips, look elsewhere. A weekly dose of wisdom. Thank you Barry!

  • When Data Learns to Listen

    This was a quietly powerful conversation. The way you explored AI as a tool for interpretation rather than prediction adds real depth to how people think about investing. Markets move on narratives, language, and collective belief, and using technology to notice those subtle shifts feels both timely and responsible. I really appreciated how this episode encouraged discernment and better questions, not just faster answers. That kind of thinking helps people make wiser decisions over the long term... more

  • Went downhill

    Used to be a weekly listen for me with good advice but it’s gone downhill. The sponsored content about watches is one thing but slipping watch promotions into almost every episodes ridiculous. If the content was better I might tolerate the excessive ads.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

At The Money: Farmland Investing (Fan Favorite)
Q: What makes farmland a compelling addition to any investment portfolio compared to other real estate assets?
Farmland provides income, acts as an inflation hedge, is non-correlated with most other assets, and offers potential for capital appreciation, supported by long-term productivity gains and technological improvements.
The Future of Automation and AI with Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur
Q: What led to Honeywell's plan to split into three companies?
The host asks about the thinking behind separating Honeywell into Automation, Aerospace, and Solstice Advanced Materials, and Kapur explains the desire to simplify the company and pursue focused scale in three distinct, high-potential areas, with a formal plan executed in 2024 after long internal analysis.
Winning the Degenerate Economy with StockTwits CEO Howard Lindzon
Q: Why did you pursue Robinhood despite skepticism from some VCs?
The opportunity wasn't just about the product; it was about the ARB—an early bet on capturing a large, growing audience with zero marginal cost per user as the platform scaled.
Focusing on Growth (Not Market Cap)
Q: Explain what goes in to the RAFI growth index.
The RAFI Growth Index uses growth indicators from three pillars—sales, profits, and R&D expansion—to rank and weight companies by how much their growth contributes to the economy, rather than by their size alone.
Focusing on Growth (Not Market Cap)
Q: So, if that's the case, what are we selecting on? It's not just cap weight. I'm assuming it's, and I've read some of the research, you're looking at increasing sales, increasing profits, increasing R&D.
We select based on percentage growth across sales, profits, and R&D where available, and when one of those components isn't available, we aggregate the others to gauge how fast a company is growing, with dollar magnitude driving the weight so that the index reflects real macro growth contributions.
