Evan shares a few rules about Trump Accounts that have come out recently. Paul segues to an interview where the Robinhood CEO is pressed about an obviously dangerous investment that the SEC is shutting down. His response was, “People should be free to do what they want.” Paul pushes back hard to remind investors that this product is hurting investors and would be the equivalent of a drug dealer making the same comment about a drug that is killing the people who take it.

Later in the episode, Paul talks about the importance of teaching your kids about money and investing because the wealth you built through discipline can disappear if your heirs don’t understand how to manage it.

Over the last week, we’ve heard many stories and predictions that remind us of events that have happened in the Middle East in recent history. When the news gets this big, even the most disciplined investors are tempted to respond to current events and make an emotional investing decision. Today, Paul and Evan read an article arguing that a real democratic revolution in Iran seems impossible until it happens. Listen along as these two advisors share why making investment decisions based on current events is a trap and how confident investors are humble enough to live with uncertainty, avoid market timing, and emerge on the other side.

Later in the episode, Evan discusses his research on the worst wars of the last 100 years and the market growth that occurred during those years, asking, “What happened to the people who went to cash knowing that war was coming?” Evan and Paul want you to know that people who are trying to get you out of the market right now don’t understand how wars affect companies.

Paul brings Jim Wood on the show to discuss the current climate and why it leaves investors vulnerable to people taking advantage of them. In a world where threats of war, a 24-hour financial news cycle, and an industry full of market timers dominate, investors are in danger of getting pushed into their emotions and then making changes that make the market makers money. Paul tells investors they don’t need an investing club to get ahead; they need a Nobel Prize-winning method that helps them reach their goals. Later in the episode, Paul talks about an important conversation you can have with your spouse to help you both feel more confident about your finances.

Paul and Jim share a somewhat funny take in MarketWatch from an investor who is all over the place, but actually represents many people who are still trying to beat markets and be “good” at investing. Listen along as these two investors talk about how markets go up during recessions and why being a good investor isn’t about looking at all the news and trying to get your money in the right place at the right time. Later in the episode, Jim shares four signs to watch out for to avoid getting scammed out of a lot of money. Always remember, “If it sounds like it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

Paul and Jim discuss the news in Iran and its unfolding developments. Listen along as these two advisors cover why uncertainty, war, and changing prices aren’t necessarily signs of market decline. How should your portfolio perform during a decline? Paul and Jim answer these questions and try to give you a bigger picture and possible positive outcomes that the media will never talk about. Paul and Jim talk about a veteran who wants to give their child a chance at a better financial future and to know if a Roth IRA is a good option. The advisors discuss the benefits of a Roth IRA and what they would walk through as an advisor before recommending a Roth IRA, 529 plan, or a non-qualified account. Later in the show, Paul and Jim discuss Trump Accounts and whether or not you should take advantage of the free $1,000 for new family members.
