In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 08: Be Careful What You Ask For.LEARNING: High growth rates don't always mean high stock returns. “Emerging markets are very much like the rest of the world's capital markets—they do an excellent job of reflecting economic growth prospects into stock prices.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 08: Be Careful What You Ask For.Chapter 08: Be Careful What You Ask ForIn this chapter, Larry cautions people to be careful what they wish for in investing. He emphasizes the daunting challenge of active management, a path many choose in the belief that they can accurately forecast market trends.However, as Larry points out, the reality is far from this ideal. The unpredictability of the market makes it almost impossible to predict with 100% accuracy, a fact that investors should be acutely aware of.High growth rates don't always mean high stock returnsIt's important to note that high growth rates don't always translate into high stock returns, underscoring the unpredictability of market outcomes. According to Larry, for today's investors, the equivalent of the “Midas touch” (the king who turned everything he touched into gold) might be the ability to forecast economic growth rates.If investors could forecast with 100% certainty which countries would have the highest growth rates, they could invest in them and avoid those with low growth rates. This would lead to abnormal profits—or, perhaps not.Nobody can predict with that accuracy. Even if one could make such a prediction, they may still not make the profits they think they will. This is because, as Larry explains, experts have found that there has been a slightly negative correlation between country growth rates and stock returns.A 2006 study on emerging markets by Jim Davis of Dimensional Fund Advisors found that the high-growth countries from 1990 to 2005 returned 16.4%, and the low-growth countries returned the same 16.4%.Such evidence has led Larry to conclude that it doesn't matter if you can even forecast which countries will have high growth rates; the market will make the same forecast and adjust stock prices accordingly.Therefore, to beat the market, you must be able to forecast better than the market already expects, and to do so, you need to gather information at a cost. In other words, you can't just be smarter than the market; you have to be smarter than the market enough to overcome all your expenses of gathering information and trading costs.Larry emphasizes that emerging markets are very much like the rest of the world's capital markets—they do an excellent job of reflecting economic growth...

Welcome to the latest episode of the Greatness Coach podcast. In today's thought-provoking exploration, we delve into the intriguing concept, "Be Careful What You Ask For." Join us as we dissect a profound scene from the movie "Evan Almighty," where a powerful lesson about challenges, growth, and the true nature of asking for more unfolds. Discover the deeper layers of how challenges are essential to building strength, mastering new skills, and transforming your life's journey. Key Highlights: The Teacher Appears: Unpacking the adage "When a student is ready, the teacher appears," and its embodiment in a pivotal scene from "Evan Almighty." The Challenge and Growth Connection: Understanding how asking for qualities like courage, love, or wealth doesn't necessarily result in them being handed to you; instead, challenges arise to help you develop these qualities. Lessons from Adversity: Exploring real-life examples of individuals who received abundance suddenly, only to face financial ruin, and understanding the value of challenges in building a foundation for lasting success. The Hero's Journey: Recognizing the parallels between your life's journey and the hero's journey, where challenges and trials are essential steps toward personal mastery and transformation. Thank you for joining us on this thought-provoking episode of the Greatness Coach podcast. As we navigate the intricacies of asking for more in life, remember that every challenge you face is an opportunity to strengthen your foundation, develop new skills, and embark on your own hero's journey. Embrace challenges as the stepping stones to greatness, and let the lessons from "Evan Almighty" serve as a reminder that your path to personal mastery is one worth pursuing relentlessly. If you found value in this episode, share it with someone who could use a fresh perspective on challenges and growth. Together, let's build a community dedicated to embracing life's lessons and thriving through adversity. Until next time, stay relentless in your pursuit of greatness. Peace and love.

This week the I am reading from Dr. Christopher Kerr's book 'Experiences of the Dying: Evidence of Survival of Human Consciousness' and 'Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of UFO Contact' by Preston Dennett.Dr Christopher Kerr's book 'Death is But a Dream: Hope and Meaning at Life's End'.Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real," these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance.Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's book also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure.Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this book is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one. Death Is But a Dream is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery.BioChristopher Kerr, MD, PhD, is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Chris earned his MD as well as a PhD in Neurobiology. Dr. Kerr received numerous awards throughout training that recognized his clinical performance, as well as his success as an educator and scientist. Chris's background in research has evolved from bench science toward the human experience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patients' dreams and visions at the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near-universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning, as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated. To date, the research team at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.This work was the subject of Chris's TEDx Buffalo Talk, which has been viewed approximately 3 million times and has been the subject of reports on BBC and in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Scientific American Mind, Huffington Post and Psychology Today. It will also be featured in an upcoming Netflix production and a public television documentary film to be released nationally in early 2021. Dr. Kerr's work was also published by Penguin Random House earlier this year in a book called Death Is But a Dream, which is now being released in multiple languages.https://www.amazon.com/Death-But-Dream-Finding-Meaning-ebook/dp/B07SRQC373/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1613916946&sr=8-1https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/kerr-experiences-dying.pdfhttps://www.drchristopherkerr.com/Preston Dennett about his book 'Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of UFO Contact'.This book represents the cutting edge of UFO research, with ten new and original firsthand accounts of very close encounters with UFOs and aliens. The majority of these cases come from fully conscious recall rather than memories retrieved through hypnosis. Face-to-face confrontations, missing-time, onboard UFO experiences -- these accounts show what it's like to have direct contact with beings from beyond Earth.Chapter One: Four teenagers are confronted with a UFO and experience missing time, each of them recalling different portions of what actually happened.Chapter Two: A young girl has a very close encounter with a UFO, and years later, both she and her son are visited by an entity her son calls “The Bony Crab Monster.”Chapter Three: When a local farmer reports UFOs over his farm, two friends go to check it out and end up being followed home by UFOs. One of them is struck by a beam of light, beginning an ordeal that haunts him for the rest of his life.Chapter Four: After visiting a person who “channels” ETs, a young woman asks to go onboard the ETs spaceship. In a classic case of “Be Careful What You Ask For,” the woman discovers that she has invited the aliens into her life.Chapter Five: A married couple who both have a history of encounters visit Sedona, Arizona and come upon a UFO landed alongside the road. Both are taken onboard and experience an adventure that will leave them forever changed.Chapter Six: A psychologist crashes her motorcycle on a remote highway late at night. Stranded and alone, her ETs show up again and rescue her in a very unusual way.Chapter Seven: A mother and two sons experience six hours of missing time after a UFO encounter late at night. Years later, as an adult, one of her sons suddenly recalls everything that happened on that fateful night.Chapter Eight: A woman is enjoying a quiet night at home when she is visited by a gray-type extraterrestrial who communicates with her through automatic writing, relaying profound messages both personal and for all of humankind.Chapter Nine: Two young boys experience missing time on Catalina Island. Later one of them recalls what happened: he was taken to what appears to be an underground alien base.Chapter Ten: An office-worker and her friends take a spontaneous trip to Area 51 in the Nevada Desert and see UFOs for the first time. She is later taken onboard a craft and undergoes one of the most bizarre contacts on record.Ten cases, each told in the witnesses' own words, each providing fascinating insights into the nature and origin of these strange visitors to our planet. Fully illustrated by award-winning artist, Kesara, this book will change the way you view extraterrestrials and the UFO phenomenon.Preston's BiographyPreston Dennett began investigating UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends and co-workers were having dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. He is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of 29 books and more than 100 articles on UFOs and the paranormal. Several of his books have been Amazon UFO bestsellers. His articles have appeared in numerous magazines including Fate, Atlantis Rising, MUFON UFO Journal, Nexus, Paranormal Magazine, UFO Magazine, Phenomena Magazine, Mysteries Magazine, Ufologist and others. His writing has been translated into several different languages including German, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Icelandic. He has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell, Coast-to-Coast and also the History Channel's Deep Sea UFOs and UFO Hunters.
