  • Highly recommend. Informative, varied, and overall one of the best financial podcasts I’ve found

    I started listening to this show 3 years ago as I waded through so many investment focused podcasts looking for one that was not all chest thumping egomaniacs that were light on substance. I wanted one that helped me learn and grow as an investor while giving me access to a wide range of quality professionals. I enjoy Chuck’s interview style as a trained financial journalist. He asks intelligent and helpful questions for his audience, he answers audience questions and I enjoy his personal storie... more

  • Stimulates thought process

    This (free) format does what it says, it stimulates my thought process to do my own research to make the best decision for me. Personally, I learn more from this podcast than I do from my CFP.

    Those wanting a cookie cutter, one size fits all investors need to look elsewhere or hire a robo-advisor.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AAII's Rotblut on the potential meaning of 'vanishing optimism'
Q: What do AAII sentiment numbers suggest about the market's direction?
Rotblut explains that sentiment readings show shifts and are used as contrarian signals; currently, there is a nuanced mix with bulls and bears, suggesting caution rather than a clear trend, and leadership in certain stock areas remains a focal point.
Wells Fargo's Cronk: Raising rates in an oil shock 'is a categorical mistake'
Q: What is the near-term outlook for rates given oil prices and inflation?
Cronk argues for a cautious path, suggesting that raising rates during an oil shock would be a categorical mistake and that policy should remain data-dependent and balanced against energy-driven inflation pressures.
Investors haven't 'planned for enough,' particularly with inflation
Q: What should people do to prepare for inflation in retirement?
Build a plan that accounts for higher-than-expected inflation, consider annuities or pension-like income where appropriate, and ensure asset allocation is aligned with time horizon while keeping expenses in check.
Resource investor Rozencwajg: Today's oil 'shock' is tomorrow's building catastrophe
Q: What should Kurt consider before signing an indexed universal life policy and are there signs of trouble in the broader IUL market?
The guest highlights free-look periods for refunds, the likelihood of surrender charges in early years, and the importance of recognizing that a policy's cash value can be eroded by fees and loan features; he cites industry claims and a notable legal case to illustrate the risks and emphasizes that true life insurance needs should drive purchase decisions rather than speculative investment returns.
Resource investor Rozencwajg: Today's oil 'shock' is tomorrow's building catastrophe
Q: Kurt asks if indexed universal life insurance is a good retirement savings vehicle and whether the claims sound too good to be true.
Rozencwajg explains that IUL is not an investment but a life-insurance product with a cash-value feature; while it can offer tax-advantaged loans and some riders, the promises are usually overstated, surrender charges can be severe, and many agents market it as a universal solution, so buyers should proceed with caution and focus on genuine insurance needs rather than flashy returns.
