Don and Tom take a reality sledgehammer to investors' wildly inflated expectations for stock market returns. A new survey shows average Americans expect 12.6% after inflation, even as historical real returns rarely crack 9%. They explore how this overconfidence—fueled by recency bias and company loyalty—leads to dangerous behavior like under-saving, over-spending, and poorly diversified portfolios. With real-world client stories, historical decade-by-decade returns, and a deep dive into how long it takes portfolios to recover after major drops, they reinforce the need for long-term discipline and diversified planning. The episode wraps with audience questions on umbrella policies, retirement bond ladders, and smart ETF tax-loss harvesting strategies. 0:04 Don delays the podcast waiting for Tom's arrival (with British accent) 1:30 Survey shock: Investors expect 12.6% real annual returns 2:28 Reality check: Actual global stock returns are closer to 9% 3:45 Dangerous real-world portfolios: 100% S&P 500 near retirement 5:30 One-stock portfolios tied to employers—what could go wrong? 6:50 Under-saving due to false optimism about future returns 7:14 Decade-by-decade historical real returns from 1930–2020s 10:13 The Dave Ramsey fantasy: 8% withdrawals on 12% returns 10:40 Recency bias: Why we forget recent downturns so fast 11:05 50% of years see 10% drops; 1 in 3 see 20% drops 12:47 Emotional investing vs. disciplined long-term planning 13:39 Listener Q: How long to recover from a major market drop? 14:22 Diversification shortens recovery time historically 15:36 Build for the worst case: 50% stock market drop 16:32 Listener Q: Does Ivan need an umbrella policy with $350K net worth? 17:57 Umbrellas are rarely needed—but the industry sure sells them 18:54 Listener Q: Is LifeX 10-year bond ladder a good retirement tool? 20:20 It's mostly return of principal—DIY Treasury ladders are cheaper 22:40 Don't be fooled by nice websites and big yield promises 23:24 Listener Q: Can AVGE replace four-fund ETF portfolio for tax loss harvesting? 24:32 Swap Avantis for DFA funds—nearly identical, wash-sale safe 25:56 Parting shots: Buy a decent mic, don't let emotion control your portfolio Learn more about your ad choices.

Rates are stuck, debt is exploding, and the dream of homeownership feels more like a financial fairytale. From $120K Bitcoin to $350K starter homes, this episode unpacks the chaos behind today's real estate market with a punch of humor and a dose of hard truth. If you're a Realtor or mortgage pro trying to keep up, this is the episode that breaks it all down.

Dive into the wild, wonky whirlwind of Adams County's weekend warfare – a series of savage altercations on Deerfield Road that exploded from a bike ride gone wrong to a gunshot showdown! It all kicks off Friday night, July 11, 2025, in the Kingston area near Natchez, where 33-year-old Black resident Reginald Butler is pedaling his bicycle and crosses paths with a rowdy crew of young party-goers (mostly white dudes in bathing suits – sandbar shenanigans?). What starts as a simple cig request (or so they say) spirals into pure mayhem: Butler's knocked off his bike, pummeled by four assailants, suffering a fractured nose and possible concussion. He bolts on his bike, heads home, grabs a handgun for "protection," and pedals back – big mistake or bold move?   Enter round two: Butler runs into the group at another bridge spot. They allegedly drag him into the woods, resuming the beatdown. Amid the frenzy, Butler pulls his piece and blasts Hayden Pounds in the chest – one round also ripping through a nearby vehicle! Pounds gets airlifted to a hospital but bounces back and is released. The whole mess is caught on multiple phone cams, igniting community fury across racial lines – hundreds raging on social media, calling it a "heinous" attack no one should endure.   Arrests drop like dominoes: Butler's hauled in for aggravated assault, bonds out on $50K. Then Cameron Taunton (21, Vidalia, LA – already on probation for assaulting a disabled person) gets nabbed, charges upgraded from simple assault to aggravated assault and conspiracy ($350K bond). Houston Pretty (18, Vidalia) faces the same: aggravated assault and conspiracy ($350K). A 16-year-old juvenile joins the lineup with identical charges – name withheld. Sheriff Travis Patten warns more collars coming, with MBI and FBI probing for hate crime vibes (racial slurs? Lynching echoes?).   Clay unpacks the insanity: "Hard to buy a cig ask sparks this – motive missing? Butler escapes, arms up, returns – kills self-defense claim. If roles reversed under Biden DOJ, hate crime charges fly!" Questions swirl: Why the bridge? Who started round two? Innocent cig stop or deeper beef? Brace for national spotlight – Ben Crump incoming? This ain't just a fight; it's Mississippi's powder keg of race, rights, and reckless returns. Boom – truth bombs dropping!

Nothing says efficient government like spending $350,000 to clean up a homeless encampment that officials have ignored for over a decade. Oregon's Department of State Lands finally decided to address the Sandy River Delta situation—with hazmat crews, private security, and yes, bear mace for activists who dared to interfere.We dive into this spectacular display of bureaucratic problem-solving where officials claim there's no housing available while simultaneously spending hundreds of thousands on cleanup crews. Watch as activists get maced for protecting people living in conditions the state created through years of policy neglect. Meanwhile, campers face the impossible choice between nonexistent shelter options and arrest for trespassing on land they've occupied without enforcement action for years.Is anyone surprised that the 'solution' involves more security contractors than social workers? How exactly does ignoring a problem for a decade suddenly make it an emergency worth $350,000 in taxpayer money? And why are we spraying citizens with bear mace instead of addressing the root causes that put them there?

Learn how Jerry builds seller trust through transparency and authority, locking in sight-unseen contracts with honest due diligence contingencies.

USPAP, Verification, and Bernoulli's Fallacy.  That's a mouthful!  What does it mean?  I'm assuming  you've heard of USPAP.  Verification is an important component of USPAP's SR1-4 (learn it, love it, use it).  But it is likely Bernoulli's Fallacy is something you don't know about.  Yet.  You will, though.  It is going to become really important in residential real estate appraisal, especially when UAD3.6 takes effect in November of 2026.  Read on to learn why. Really USPAP, verification and Bernoulli's Fallacy go together.  USPAP's Standards Rule 1-4 requires us appraisers to "...collect, verify, and analyze all information necessary for credible assignment results."  As with a lot of USPAP, this is not overly clear (hello, ASB!).  Bernoulli's Fallacy says, in so many words, in statistical inference, people often wrongly assume that a single event, or a small number of observations, directly reveals the underlying probability of a process.  We see this all the time from clients.  Most houses in a subdivision sell for between $300K and $350K.  Yet the one with the premium view and the kitchen upgrades that sold for $393K gets all their attention.  If the subject is your basic house in the neighborhood, then its value is somewhere between $300K and $350K, that one outlier notwithstanding.  One outlier's price does not predict market value, despite what the client demands. USPAP, verification, and Bernoulli's Fallacy are a package deal.  USPAP demands verification and we avoid Bernoulli's Fallacy by being very skeptical about the predictive value of one or two outliers.  This will become even more important as UAD3.6 kicks in and appraisers will need to write more in their appraisal reports.  Are you preparing for that? Questions?  Contact me at tim@theappraisersadvocate.com.   Need legal help or information on E&O insurance.  I can help you with those, too.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1003: Dealers and analysts react to President Trump's tariff order, as the administration considers a tax deduction for auto loan interest paid. Plus, Fisker Oceans have found new life as a rideshare fleet in NYC.Show Notes with links:Trump's sweeping tariff order is shaking the auto world. The new 25% levy hits nearly all foreign-built vehicles and key components.Analysts predict $4K–$10K price hikes, and Cox Automotive warns that 30% of U.S. vehicle production could be disrupted within a week. GM stock fell 9%, hit hardest due to its reliance on Mexico and South Korea, Ford and Stellantis were down around 2%Ferrari responded by is raising prices by 10%, up to $350K on some models. Even Tesla isn't safe—Elon called the impact “significant” due to global parts sourcing.Michael Wood, GM of JLR Virginia Beach on LinkedIn “This will inadvertently heavily impact a brand that never had jobs here in the first place. The outcome could be disastrous for those working at these stores. Volumes go down, staffs are reduced and displaced.”Rob Malanowski, Internet Director at Ancira Nissan said on LinkedIn “If you're a car shopper, you will get to choose between: paying more for a non-US built vehicle, paying more for a US built vehicle, deciding you don't really need a new car right now. Bet we'll see a ton of people in group 3.”President Trump has proposed a tax deduction for interest paid on auto loans—but only for vehicles made in America. The idea, announced alongside 25% tariffs on imported vehicles, has drawn mixed reactions from dealers and analysts alike.Dealers are split—some say it could help consumers, while others doubt its feasibility.Analysts say the deduction could save buyers around $20 a month, but tariffs could add $60–$90 to payments.Used car prices could rise 9-12% due to increased demand for domestic models.The White House and Speaker Johnson's office have yet to confirm details, including whether the deduction applies to standard tax filers.“I think it's Trump's way of trying to regulate interest rates,” said Ford dealer Nick Anderson, calling it a “pipe dream.”Trump argues the policy will “pay for itself” by increasing U.S. auto production.What happens to thousands of Fisker Oceans after the company goes bankrupt? In New York City, they're hitting the streets as Uber and Lyft rides, thanks to a fleet operator with a vision and a Bronx repair shop keeping them roadworthy.American Lease bought 3,000 Fisker Ocean EVs for $42.5M, renting them to rideshare drivers.New York City mandates all Uber & Lyft rides be EV or wheelchair-accessible by 2030.BHP Service Center in the Bronx is now the go-to repair shop for these orphaned EVsShop owner Ronen (“Roni”) is already stockpiling parts, purchasing wrecked vehicles and even making molds for body panels.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
