Ep 69: Interview Questions To Ask A Financial Advisor

March 25, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MB

It's not easy to hire a professional service provider. Even the most astute consumer only scratches the surface of truly understanding a profession they are not part of. The information gap is huge. So how do you ensure you find a competent and trustworthy advisor? Hear Kevin nine questions to ask your advisor. He will unpack some of the industry gobbledygook, share disclosures from brand-name Wall Street firms that will surprise you, and help you become a more informed financial-advice co...

Ep 68: My Journey As A Financial Planner

March 11, 2021 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

Fish mislabeling was once rampant in the US. Thought you were getting Red Snapper? Surprise! You get porgy or tile fish. Deceptive marketing for profits at best and exposing consumers to serious health risks, including food allergens and heavy metals in pregnant women at worst. Sadly, many 'financial advisors' are similarly mislabeled and may cause financial harm. After all, you just need a 70% on a multiple-choice test and a high school diploma to become registered (and the high school dip...

Ep 67: Beyond Diversification: Terminal Wealth Dispersion

February 25, 2021 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

Putting the odds of investing and retirement success in your favor should be a given as is being diversified. But what does diversification really mean? Ten stocks? One hundred stocks? Two asset classes or ten? Building on the concept of standard deviation -- or degree of variability -- in investment returns, hear Kevin take the idea of diversification farther. Diversification is not just minimizing variability or owning the S&P 500. It's also reducing the risk of underperformance by owning...

Ep 66: Proper Investment Expectations & Standard Deviation

February 11, 2021 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB

If your head is in the freezer and your feet in the oven, on average you may feel quite comfortable despite suffering from two extremes. San Diego type weather on the other hand will leave you consistently comfortable over time. Averages are commonly used to discuss investment returns, but they are an oversimplification. You don't receive average returns. Compound returns drive your dollar growth and the variability in returns -- or standard deviation -- causes the compound return to always...

Ep 65: Should You Continue To Hold An Underperforming Investment?

January 28, 2021 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MB

Inevitably you will have some investments perform better than others in your portfolio. A normal, human response is to seek pleasure and avoid pain or sell the underperformer and buy what has done well. But does that make investing sense? Listen to Kevin discuss critical concepts of diversification and probability and why process matters more than outcomes. Hear an example of this being applied in professional basketball and playing probabilities in blackjack. In sticking to a good process...

Ep 64: Investment Lessons To Learn From 2020

January 14, 2021 14:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

Ep 63: 3 Ways To Tax-Optimize Your Charitable Giving

December 17, 2020 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Most Americans donate to charity and many have distinct goals in their retirement plan to meet annual charitable donations. Most also give cash ...the easiest but also least tax-efficient way to give. Hear Kevin discuss three ways to tax-optimize your charitable giving. Whether through in-kind transfers of appreciated stock, using a donor-advised fund, or via Qualified Charitable Distributions, each can help you gain a bigger tax break and meet your charitable goals in the Retire Smarter wa...

Ep 60: Why The Cheapest Investment Option May Not Be The Best

November 05, 2020 14:56 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MB

The purchase price of your car is one factor to consider. But the Total Cost of Ownership -- adding in costs for insurance, fuel, maintenance and repairs, as well as the residual value upon sale -- is a better way to evaluate financial aspects of a car purchase. In doing so, the cheapest vehicle is often more expensive than initially perceived. Same too goes for selecting investments. Many solely use the expense ratio to determine what fund to buy. But while the expense ratio is important a...

Ep 59: Retiree Health Insurance Part 2: Pre-Medicare

October 15, 2020 09:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

Healthcare is a primary concern, especially for retirees. Transitioning from employer-provided coverage you've been on for decades is stressful. Now you have more complexity and choices than ever before. And, yes, costs may seem sky high after retiring and before Medicare. Listen in to hear Kevin and health insurance expert Zig Novak discuss health insurance options from the time you retire to before you can begin Medicare at age 65. Should you take COBRA? What types of plans and are availa...

October 01, 2020 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MB

Ep 57: A Tale of Two Decades

September 17, 2020 09:00 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MB

Proper investment diversification works ... even when you don't want it to. With the US stock market and particularly large technology stocks having the wind at their backs recently, many are eschewing diversification to chase these high flyers. As the saying goes, if we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it. In that spirit, hear Kevin tell a tale of two decades. First is the Lost Decade of the 2000s when, after the Tech Bubble burst, US investors lost money for an entire decade from ...

Ep 56: Should The Election Influence Your Investing Strategy?

September 03, 2020 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MB

Biden or Trump? Republicans or Democrats? Who will be better for the economy and your investments? These are questions many are asking with the election quickly approaching. Many let their political beliefs influence their investment strategy, but should they? Hear Kevin discuss what the evidence shows and how our political beliefs may influence our perceptions of reality. Get ready to check your alternative facts at the door and get real.   Timestamps: 6:24 - Keep Politics Separate From...

Ep 55: Roth Conversion: Why 2020 Could Be The Best Year

August 20, 2020 09:00 - 33 minutes - 46.7 MB

Paying a lower tax rate today vs. what you would otherwise pay in the future on pre-tax IRA/401k dollars is a good move. They way you can do so is by converting money to a Roth IRA and paying tax in the year of the conversion. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) lowered tax rates and significantly widened tax brackets on individuals. Current law has the tax rates under the TCJA in effect through the 2025 tax year and increasing to pre-TCJA rates and brackets in 2026. Yet, tax rates may g...

Ep 54: Should You Delay Retiring?

August 13, 2020 09:00 - 28 minutes - 39 MB

Hear Kevin discuss key variables you should consider as you plan through the COVID-induced uncertainty, including items that may nudge you to retire now and others that result in waiting.   Timestamps: 6:45 - Kevin's First Impressions On Postponing Retirement Due To Pandemic 10:35 -...

Ep 53: Investing Vs. Speculating Part 2

July 23, 2020 08:00 - 35 minutes - 49.3 MB

65% of Institutional Investors surveyed in late June believe the market is factoring in the long-term impact of the coronavirus "too little" while only 5% said "too much," implying the market is overvalued. Yet, the market has continued to go up. Has it come too far too fast? Hear Kevin discuss the topic in detail and explain why our brain function predisposes us to make investing mistakes, including blindly chasing investment returns and firmly entering the world of speculation (while aban...

Ep 52: Investing Vs. Speculating Part 1

July 09, 2020 08:00 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MB

Investing should be scientific and process-based. Speculating is more akin to gambling and lacking fundamental support. At extremes, it is easier to discern the two but can be shades of grey in between. Hear Kevin discuss the forward-looking nature of the stock market and times why it can make investing sense (not speculating) to look through bad economic news. And be sure to listen to the end where Kevin discuss process-based portfolio changes made in March, as a result of changing inputs...

Ep 51: Case Study: Retiring Before Age 60 & Before You Ever Thought You Would

June 18, 2020 08:00 - 33 minutes - 46.4 MB

Like your work but hate your job? Bad boss. Terrible commute. Whatever the reason. Hear Kevin share a story of a client who retired in her late 50s. She loved her work and taking care of her customers but hated other aspects of her job. She worked long hours and had a long commute. Taking care of her household on the weekend and trying to have a bit of fun left little space and time to seriously consider her retirement and life after work. Perhaps this is why she was in a state of disbelie...

Ep 50: What To Do When Your Spending Goals Change After You Retire

June 11, 2020 08:00 - 27 minutes - 38.3 MB

You cut the paycheck cord and enter retirement. Then a spending goal unexpectedly increases...significantly. You can't simply continue to work longer, so what do you do? Hear Kevin discuss real-life cases where clients had to provide financial support to their daughter going through a messy divorce and another situation where a client desired to buy a 2nd home. Though the situations were starkly different, the process to rework the retirement plan and evaluate tradeoffs was similar. Life t...

Ep 49: Potential Inheritance: Include In Your Retirement Plan Or Not?

May 28, 2020 18:44 - 47 minutes - 65.5 MB

You live below your means and invest for your future ... similar to your parents. Now your parents are getting older, and it seems fairly clear they'll be leaving you an inheritance at some point. Meanwhile you're still working. Should you include the potential inheritance in your retirement plan? Banking on an expected inheritance for your retirement plan involves risk. Hear Kevin discuss real-life cases where it was appropriate and another where it was too risky.   Timestamps: 6:25 - M...

Ep 48: Why Big Tech Stocks Must Underperform

May 14, 2020 08:00 - 37 minutes - 51.2 MB

The five biggest tech stocks -- Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft -- are great businesses. They've been so successful over the last decade that they comprise about 20% of the total S&P 500 market capitalization -- a level of concentration not seen since the late 1990s. They also command higher prices (valuation) than the market as a whole. While these companies have provided outsized growth rates and returns to investors over the last decade, there is no logical reason you shou...

Ep 47: Risks & Uncertainties in Pandemics & Retirement Planning

April 30, 2020 08:00 - 43 minutes - 59.3 MB

Interesting parallels can be seen in modeling retirement projections and the Coronavirus pandemic. Small changes to inputs -- such as the rate of return or infection spread rates -- can have magnified effects on outputs -- such as ending wealth or total infections (and ultimately deaths), given similar exponential growth traits. What is important to understand in both are the concepts of risk and uncertainty. Risk can be modeled. Uncertainty cannot yet must be planned for. Misunderstand eit...

Ep 46: Rebalancing Your Portfolio: Why, How & Complexities to Overcome

April 23, 2020 08:00 - 32 minutes - 44.1 MB

Be sure you or your advisor is taking advantage of the high-probability benefits rebalancing is expected to add to your net investment returns when done right. Have ...

Ep 45: Retire Smarter Solution™

April 16, 2020 08:00 - 18 minutes - 25.4 MB

Suppose you have to have surgery. Does exploratory surgery sound like something you would volunteer to undergo? Or, does a pre-determined surgical plan sound better? If you're like me, having a plan and a repeatable process sounds less risky and what I would prefer. The same goes for retirement. Retirement spending. Health Insurance. Social Security. Investing. Taxes. These are all key and complex areas where you need to make smart decisions for retirement. So how do you thoughtfully consid...

Ep 41: Coronavirus & Your Investment Strategy Part 2

March 19, 2020 08:00 - 35 minutes - 48.3 MB

Timing the market sounds great, especially during times of market distress like that caused by Cornovirus (COVID-19) concerns. Who wouldn't want to participate only in the ups while avoiding the downs!? Sadly, the only way market timing will work is for you to get lucky, which is no way to invest your life savings. Listen to Kevin describe the theoretical reasoning about why market timing does work and investigate both the academic research as well as the actual record of mutual funds that ...
