I give some inspiration in "The Word of the Week", and get into your head like John Cusak in "Being John Malkovich" in a segment called "Empire State of Mind". It's a fun and inspiring show.  Thanks for listening!

The Affordable Care Act (known as “Obamacare”) launched this past week.  But it was overshadowed by the government shutdown.  I give my two cents in a segment called “Sticks and Stones”.  I've also got buzz about the next crazy thing that traders are doing to make money in “The Streets are Talkin'”.  And of course, I've got a market update and “Word of the Week”.

Forbes just released their list of America's richest people.  I examined the ones who are self-made, talked to wealthy individuals that I know, and found one habit that all of these people have in common.  I share that habit with you in this podcast, and also introduce new segments about the stock market, Washington politics, a story about a prominent political figure that may make you gag, and stories to inspire you to become wealthy yourself.

In last week's podcast, I explained how the "B", "I", and "C" in BRICS appear to be contenders for providing future growth opportunities to investors. South Africa joined the "BRICS" community in 2005.  Yet, its performance is hardly representative of Africa.   What about the other countries in Africa?  Should more than one African country been added to the "BRICS" acronym?  Quoting Seinfeld, what's the deal with Africa?

In last week's podcast, I questioned if the Eurozone had the next big investment opportunities.  In the near term...not really.   So the next natural place to look is in Emerging Markets.  In particular, the BRICs: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.      Are these countries living up to the pomp and circumstance that started in 2001 by Goldman Sachs analyst Jim O'Neill?  Or, is “BRICS” turning out to be just a catchy acronym that lost popularity to the next shiny new investment idea on the scene?   Can we talk?    Image by:  Steve Murray/National Post

Summer's here, and the US stock market is going through its seasonal "two steps forward, two steps back" dance. Meanwhile, longer term investors are looking for the next big investing opportunity. The Eurozone has been tarred and feathered since the 2008 financial crisis.  But although the region is down, it's not out. Is now a good opportunity to get into Eurozone investments while the prices are still low?  How can you tell when and if the Eurozone has profitable investment opportunities? I talk about that, plus the drama I had the past week at home, in today's podcast!

If Bernanke stops the Fed's bond purchasing program, bond values may decrease causing rates to rise.  The Fed also can't keep interest rates low forever. Higher interest rates will impact your savings and investments.  Will you be ready when they go back up?  Are you aware of how rising interest rates may affect you?  Are you ready to keep inflation from devouring your purchasing power, and – most importantly – do you know how? You'd be surprised.  I talk about how rising interest rates may impact your wallet, plus strategies to protect yourself, in this week's podcast.

Some consider the bond market the ugly stepsister to stocks, and tend to ignore this unsexy sibling.  However, investors pay more attention to the bond market for warning signals about the health of our economy – not the stock market.  What's the bond market telling investors today?  Will the party continue, or are we going to turn into pumpkins soon? I'll give my opinion in this week's podcast!

Stocks have been soaring since the start of the year with no signs of slowing down.  Some analysts have even tossed around the idea of the Dow hitting 20,000 this year. Really?  Is this soaring market just smoke and mirrors?  Or has it turned into an invincible machine, such that it makes sense to get in now before stock prices keep rising? I give my opinion in this week's podcast.
