  • That’s fascinating

    Listening since first show, but reluctantly signed off some time ago. Guest quality usually very high. Host’s interviewing skills, style, and adaptivity alas, remain wooden. To deem everything ‘fascinating’ is beyond a tic.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

At The Money: Considering a Career Change? How About FINFLUENCER?
Q: What led you to leave a stable teaching and finance path to start educating a wider audience online?
The core motivation was the realization that education about money was not reaching enough people, and there was a large gap between what people knew and what would help them make informed financial decisions. This sparked the pivot to creating scalable educational content beyond a local clientele.
At The Money Fan Favorite: Looking Past Market Cap Weighted Indexes
Q: How does RAFI differ from traditional cap-weighted indexes?
RAFI weights are based on economic measures like sales, profits, net worth, and dividends/buybacks, averaged to reflect a company's real economic footprint, which tends to tilt away from overvalued, high-priced winners and toward those with a stronger economic base, potentially offering a different and more stable exposure over time.
At The Money Fan Favorite: Looking Past Market Cap Weighted Indexes
Q: What should a portfolio manager do about the concentration in cap-weighted indexes?
Consider shifting toward alternative weightings such as RAFI, which weight companies by economic fundamentals rather than market capitalization, thereby reducing concentration risk and potentially improving the long-run risk-adjusted return, while being mindful of turnover and tracking error.
At The Money: Profiting from Dividend Growth
Q: What are endogenous vs exogenous returns and why does that matter for investors?
Endogenous returns come from the company's own performance and ability to grow profits, while exogenous returns come from factors outside the business like investor sentiment; focusing on endogenous drivers leads to more sustainable wealth creation over time.
At The Money: Profiting from Dividend Growth
Q: How do you distinguish between economic investing and gambling or speculative bets?
The line is clearer when you consider zero-sum bets versus wealth creation: owning a durable business aims to create new wealth, while many speculative trades rely on price movements and time value; long-term value creation requires a different mindset and risk framework.
