Yesterday I spent some time with Eric Balchunas recording a Masters in Business podcast. Balchunas is Senior ETF Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence and the author of “ The Bogle Effect: How John Bogle and Vanguard Turned Wall Street Inside Out and Saved Investors Trillions.”. It’s a fun conversation I’m sure everybody will enjoy. There are parts of our discussion I thought were obvious, but he convinced me as underappreciated: First and foremost, the intense disruption of low-c

As I’ve gotten older the part of pop culture where I’ve fallen behind the most is music. There aren’t many new artists I like so I mostly end up listening to older music. There could be a get-off-my-lawn nostalgia thing going on here but the data shows I’m not alone. Ted Gioia crunched the numbers and the results are astounding: Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market, according.

One of my favorite ways to contextualize market trends is to divide long periods of time into secular bull and bear markets. When we look at the past century, we can see decades-long eras where the economy is generally robust, supporting markets trending higher, with expanding multiples. We call these eras Secular Bull Markets. The best examples are 1946-66, 1982-2000, and 2013 forward.

In about a month, an important moment will happen in the world of crypto/web3. The Ethereum blockchain will move from a proof of work consensus mechanism to a proof of stake consensus mechanism. This event is known as “The Merge” in Ethereum land. There are many reasons why this is an important moment for the world of crypto/web3, but to my mind the most important reasons are: 1/ The Merge reduces the carbon footprint of the Ethereum blockchain very significantly.

Just as retweets aren’t endorsements, my AM reads include things I find fascinating, important, and well-written — regardless of whether or not they reflect my beliefs. If anything, finding contrary pieces helps reduce confirmation bias and curtails my time in a limited information bubble of my own construction.

A reader asks: I have a house with a low interest rate (2.75%) I refinanced a year ago. My family has grown (3 kids) and might be time to get a bigger house. My problem is of course mortgage rates have skyrocketed (now could probably get a 5.75% rate). Is there anything I can do with this low rate asset? Or am I stuck selling my house at 2.75% and financing at the higher rate.

Employee stock grants can be an excellent benefit, but they can also be complicated, especially when they involve restrictions and vesting schedules. Stock grants also come with significant tax consequences that, depending on the situation, can leave you with large tax bills. However, you do have some control over when those tax bills are paid and, in the right circumstances, you can lower your total tax bill significantly if you elect to pay taxes upfront.

By Bryson Milley, CFP, CIM One of the questions I’m most asked by retiring clients is, “How do I manage my investments once I’m retired?” While I could give them all the technical information and thought processes behind it, that may not help the client understand. I find that stories and analogies are much more useful in explaining concepts. Yet for many years I struggled to find a good analogy for my clients.

For Adam Llewellyn Morse, CFP , a nine-year MDRT member from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, that means verbalizing the things he is going to do and giving team members a chance to articulate what they need him to do. “As a business owner and leader of the team, it’s difficult to hold other staff members accountable when you’re not actually performing at a high level yourself,” he said.
