The ThinkWealthy Podcast

So what can go wrong with the pref? Well let me count the ways. 1...2... that's it. There are primarily two ways to mess up with the pref.

This is starting to get confusing. So I get back my money, and the pref, and my profit? Shut up and take my money!!

To the pref, and beyond!

Preferred Returns. It's like returns, but more preferable. Oh, we did that one already. Snap.

Preferred Equity. It's like equity, but more preferable. Right?

Capital Stack recipe: A pinch of equity, a bit of Real Estate and a healthy dollop of debt.

Here's a masterclass in the most misunderstood metric in all of real estate. Well, expect for maybe the MIRR. And the XIRR...

Cash on Cash. It's like double chocolate but can actually pay your bills. 

In these five minutes we'll cover all you need to know to vet a deal. Well, not really, but we'll give you a really solid outline.

Time to get started. So, just how do I invest in real estate?

Your home is not an investment. Change my mind.

Want to know the best kept secret about options? Do you? Listen in. All will be revealed.

Coffee, Soybeans and Gold, oh my!

In this episode I hint at how I've made way more than I ever lost.

This is an important one. If you are only going to listen to one thought ever, this is the one. I know, I've said this before. But they're both super important.

In this episode, I will reveal how I lost a lot more money than I should have.

Now we come to one of my personally favourite topics.

You know us well. We can't end a conversation without a thought on how to practically apply what we've been talking about. It's just who we are.

How many kinds of bonds are there? One, two, three, fou.. no. Just three. So we'll keep it short.

If you're still listening at this point you should feel proud. 50 thoughts. (Well, 48 and two brainstorms, but who's counting.) Congratulations on coming this far. Your investment portfolio will one day sing your praises.

The name is … no this is stupid and overplayed. Let's just talk about bonds with some stupid James Bond joke. 

Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund. Never buy a mutual fund!

Yeah, we're back to candlesticks. But this time, their going to help us make some money. 

Them Averages they be moving. Simple tools to get a better understanding of the general market trend.

Time for our second indicator. And a deeper understanding of all that we're talking about. 

Well, you made it. Finally we're going to learn our first technical indicator. Let's go!

What are candlesticks and why are they still relevant in 2021? 

Technical analysis. Sounds scary. Like Distributed Microsystems. Or Reverted Egotranslic. Okay, I made that last one up. But Technical analysis is not really that hard, even if it may take time to master. Let's dive in.

Welcome to the wonderful world of soothsaying, future telling and technical trading. In the coming thoughts, we are going to demystify stock trading and share the tools you need to start on your own journey. Disclaimer: Fortune-telling not covered.

Now what? Here a few basic strategies that can make you oodles of money over time.

Not all strategies are good ones. Take dollar cost averaging. Sounds sophisticated. But don't do it. You may feel smart, but you'll make less money.

What is the greatest risk in investing in the stock market? No, I'm not going to tell you here. It's in the thought.

Finally, let's talk about stocks.

The Grand Finale: In this thought, we wrap up the whole discussion on risk and reward and show you several examples of how to think about risk across your entire portfolio.

Reward is easy to understand, but how do we approach risk? How can we measure it? That's what this thought is all about.

The goal in investing is not to make the most money possible. It's to give yourself the best chance at growing your money in a safe but highly profitable manner. Seems obvious. I guess it is.

The investment world is made up of four natural types of investments. Facebook, Amazon, Google and Netflix. No. Sorry. That's something else. It's really more like Apple, Verizon, Notes and shorts. 

Balance is so important in life. That is why, we need to find balance in our portfolio. It will also help reduce risk and increase our profit. Not to shabby for a financial principle which sounds like it was invented by a Budhist monk.

Diversification is easy. Just spread around the money to spread around the risk, right? Well, sure. But how does it really work? 

This is one of my favourite topics. What are opportunities? Where are they hiding? Why do they matter?

Should I focus on acquiring skills or making money today? Should I pursue our dreams or pick a practical career? All will be revealed in this thought.

Do you know the three ways to make money?

This is an important one. If you are only going to listen to one thought ever, this is the one. Mind over matter. Intellect over emotion. Live the life you choose.

Ramit Sethi has made a lot of money telling others how to get rich, but do his ideas stack up? Spoiler: they may work, but his approach is not ThinkWealthy-level living.

Now it's time to pull it all together and start living the dream. Life on a budget. 

So you know what you're spending every month and you income should be enough but you still seem to be short. What went wrong? Surprise(!) Expenses. In this thought we explore the four most common types of surprise expenses (hint: they're not really surprises) and how to budget for them.
