Jared Dillian is a former Lehman Brothers trader, author of seven books, and the founder of Jared Dillian Money. He spent seven years at Lehman, where he was head of ETF trading, before building a successful market commentary and newsletter business. In this episode, Jared shares lessons from launching a newsletter during the 2008 financial crisis, explains why he believes bonds may offer one of the biggest investment opportunities today, and discusses the importance of having a strong voice and maintaining intellectual honesty when building an audience. On this episode we talk about: Why Jared believes bonds may be a better opportunity than stocks in today's market How bonds work and why interest rates can create significant opportunities for investors Jared's experience trading at Lehman Brothers and starting a newsletter during the 2008 financial crisis What makes a successful newsletter, including the importance of having a compelling voice The dangers of confirmation bias and why creators should remain intellectually honest Why Jared avoids consuming other financial newsletters so he can maintain his own independent thinking The challenges and benefits of building an infinitely scalable newsletter business Jared's concerns about lofty valuations and expectations surrounding major IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI His new book, The Awesome Portfolio, and his approach to creating a lower-volatility investment portfolio Top 3 Takeaways Your voice can matter more than your accuracy. Jared believes that having a compelling perspective and making convincing arguments can be more important for a content business than simply being right all the time. Think independently and be willing to change your mind. Jared emphasizes intellectual honesty and warns against becoming so attached to a particular viewpoint that you ignore evidence that contradicts it. Look beyond what everyone else is doing. Jared's contrarian approach has led him to see bonds as a potentially attractive opportunity while much of the market focuses on stocks, inflation, and government deficits. Notable Quotes "You have to have something to say. You have to have a voice." "You have to be intellectually honest." "I don't want to bet against him. I want to bet on him. It's just the wrong price."

Michael was tasked with finding something uplifting. He failed. This is what a slow week for good news looks like. We open on the flooding in Nepal and what you can realistically do when you live in terrain that gives you seven minutes of warning. One school got 14 minutes and everyone made it out. Then the part nobody wants to say out loud: reading the news is taking something from you. I talk about how I decide what to let in. National debt past forty trillion. Bonds selling off. Printing money and calling it something else. Blind loyalty to a party instead of judging what is actually being delivered. The Kennedy Center. Roughly 800 wounded U.S. service members in Iran in six months, the classification that kept those numbers quiet, and a reported airstrike on a wedding. The Lindsay Clancy verdict that never came. Cities cancelling Flock camera contracts, 214 jurisdictions pulling them out, officers using the data to track people they should not be tracking. None of it is a reason to quit.

With Rafael Devers leading the charge, the team's young players are getting valuable experience that could pay off in the future.

"I'll give you 950 billion reasons to buy bonds right now," says Thomas Hayes, who gives a contrarian take on why investors should bolster their portfolios in fixed income. He discusses the "seasonality effect," a crowded AI trade, a complicated geopolitical picture, and a steady rise in crude oil as components he sees leading a lasting bond rally. Thomas highlights stocks and sectors he sees as fortresses in the current market environment, including Pfizer (PFE) and DENTSPLY SIRONA (XRAY). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Timothy Burklow Sr. warns that the global bond sell-off and rising oil prices could trigger a market pullback, forcing the Fed to tackle inflation more aggressively. He highlights structured notes as a potential hedge against market volatility.

In a season marked by ups and downs, the Giants' recent 13-12 loss to the Pirates was a microcosm of their entire campaign. With Rafael Devers leading the charge, the team's young players are getting valuable experience that could pay off in the future. But what does the future hold for this team, and how can they turn things around? We welcome John Shea of the San Francisco Standard, who also shares his thoughts on the Hall of Fame, voting process and how it relates to Bonds' case. We also discuss the recent sale of the Angels to Stan Kroenke, and what it might mean for the team's future. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Few trends have influenced markets more this year than the AI buildout, evolving policy expectations, and uncertainty in energy markets. On this timely episode with host John Bryson, Matt and Emily share their latest insights on what's ahead for investors. They explain why economic growth and corporate earnings have remained resilient, and how equities and bonds are responding to the Fed's evolving policy stance. The conversation also explores what's ahead and how investors can position their portfolios. Read a snippet of the discussion below and listen to the full podcast for more insights. 1 What's driving the momentum in global economic growth? Matt: The U.S. remained the engine of global growth, and countries selling into the U.S. benefited as well. Asia, particularly the semiconductor sector, saw strong support from this demand. The question is whether it's sustainable. That's harder to answer because many of these factors were one-time catalysts that boosted growth in the U.S. and, by extension, global growth. 2 How can investors position their portfolios for what's ahead? Emily: We think about portfolio construction as a bag of golf clubs, and making sure to use all the tools available. Equities are like your driver; they help you deal with inflation. Historically, stocks tend to perform reasonably well when inflation runs between 2% and 4%. We're also seeing one of the strongest earnings seasons in modern history, which helps preserve purchasing power if inflation begins to reaccelerate, although that's not our base case. Bonds haven't been getting much attention because the economy has performed better than expected. But if growth begins to slow, they could play a much more important role. Matt: Investors shouldn't become too attached to any single outcome. The key is building a portfolio that can navigate multiple scenarios. In fixed income, we continue to favor corporate credit. Corporate bonds should perform reasonably well if growth remains solid. We're positioned slightly below benchmark duration while maintaining exposure to areas such as high yield.

For years, investors have looked at the bond side of their portfolios and wondered: what's the point?Interest rates were near zero, yields were low, and then 2022 reminded investors that bonds can lose money too.But today, the fixed income landscape looks very different. Retirees can potentially earn 4%, 5%, or even more on investments they traditionally consider their “safe money.”So… is fixed income finally back?In this episode, I break down how I'm thinking about bonds and fixed income for retirees today, including:-Why higher interest rates can create risks for BOTH bonds and stocks-How much of your retirement portfolio should potentially be in fixed income-Risk tolerance vs. your actual capacity to take risk-Using bonds, CDs, T-bills and cash to create a short-term income reserve-Why guaranteed income can change how much investment risk you need to take-Where annuities may fit into the fixed-income conversation-Why chasing dividend stocks for income can create its own risks-How to build an investment portfolio around your retirement plan, not the other way aroundI also share one of my favorite lessons from Tiger Woods' 2019 Masters victory and why sometimes the best retirement strategy isn't firing at every pin. It's simply making sure you stay in the tournament.The goal isn't to maximize the return on every dollar you have.Some dollars need to grow. Some need to hedge against inflation. Some need to produce income. And some simply need to make sure you're still in the game when markets get ugly.⁠⁠Are you interested in working with me 1 on 1?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click this link to fill out our Retirement Readiness Questionnaire⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠visit my website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⛳ PFR Nation (Who This Is For)If you're over 50, have saved seven figures (or multiple seven figures), love golf and travel, and you want to make work optional while minimizing taxes… welcome to the right place.-KevinConnect with me here:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the podcast⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join My Company Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is for general education purposes only and should not be considered as tax, legal or investment advice.

This week on Financial Planning: Explained, host Michael Menninger, CFP®, welcomes back Nick DeVito, CFP®, for Part II of a Q&A series on life events, investments and general financial planning. In Part II, Mike and Nick turn their attention to investment planning, tackling some of the most common questions investors face: When is a good time to invest? Should you invest in stocks or bonds? And how much risk should you actually take in your portfolio? The guys discuss why successful investing is about more than simply trying to predict what the market will do next. They explore how an investor's goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and overall financial plan should influence investment decisions—and why there isn't necessarily one right answer for everyone. From deciding when to put money into the market to determining the appropriate balance between stocks and bonds, this conversation highlights the importance of having an investment strategy that fits within your broader financial plan. Listeners will gain valuable insight into: When it may be a good time to invest Why trying to perfectly time the market can be challenging How to think about investing during periods of market uncertainty The differences between stocks and bonds How stocks and bonds can play different roles in a portfolio How to determine an appropriate level of investment risk Why risk tolerance matters when building an investment portfolio How your time horizon can influence your investment strategy The relationship between investment risk and potential returns Why your investment strategy should reflect your financial goals How diversification can help manage portfolio risk Why investment decisions should be coordinated with your overall financial plan Common questions investors should consider before making changes to their portfolio The importance of avoiding emotional investment decisions How working through different scenarios can lead to better financial decisions Investing can raise some difficult questions, especially when markets are volatile or financial goals change. Knowing when to invest, how much to invest, what investments to choose, and how much risk to take can have a significant impact on your long-term financial strategy. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all investment advice, Mike and Nick use a real-world financial planning perspective to explore the questions that should be considered before making major investment decisions. The goal isn't to predict the next market move—it's to understand how an investment strategy fits into the bigger financial picture. Whether you're just getting started with investing, deciding between stocks and bonds, reviewing your retirement portfolio, or wondering whether your current level of risk is appropriate, this episode offers practical insights and real-world considerations to help you make more informed investment decisions.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Mario Innecco to the show. Mario is a Financial and Macro Economic Analyst, and Host of the ‘Manneco64 YouTube Channel’. Mario Innecco presents a compelling case that we are in the early stages of a secular bull market for commodities, driven by decades of underinvestment and a historic reversal in the bond market. He argues that the 40-year bull market in bonds, which began in 1981, is definitively over, and this shift will fundamentally reallocate capital toward hard assets like gold, silver, and other commodities. The core problem, he explains, is an unprecedented global debt bubble. Western nations, particularly the United States, are trapped in a debt-based fiat currency system where ever-increasing debt requires more debt issuance to service, creating a vicious cycle now exacerbated by rising interest rates. This situation, he believes, will force governments into financial repression, eroding purchasing power and driving investors toward gold and silver as timeless stores of value that cannot be printed. The discussion highlights Japan as a critical “canary in the coal mine,” with its carry trade and the potential repatriation of capital posing a systemic risk to interconnected global financial markets. Innecco suggests that the ultimate solution to this monetary instability will be a return to gold as a settlement asset, a move already being pioneered by China and the BRICS nations. He views the pure fiat currency era since 1971 as a historical aberration that is nearing its end. For investors, he sees significant upside not only in physical gold and silver but particularly in undervalued mining stocks, which offer substantial leverage. While gold and silver are expected to lead, he also notes strong potential in other commodities like copper, tungsten, and oil, all supported by supply constraints and the global trend toward resource sovereignty.

During this time, he advised major financial institutions and corporate clients on market strategies and risk management. A dedicated proponent of the Austrian School of Economics, Mario founded the maneco64 YouTube channel in November 2015, which serves as a platform for alternative economics and contrarian views. Through his videos, blog articles, and social media, he educates a worldwide audience on the intricacies of the fiat monetary system, financial markets, and the enduring value of precious metals like gold and silver.

August is officially in the books! And after another month of AI enthusiasm, strong corporate earnings, stubborn inflation, rising oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty, Fed drama and some major market breakouts, it's time to step back from the daily noise and see where the money actually went. On today's episode of TraderMerlin, we're pulling up the charts and reviewing the performance of our Top 8 Market Segments for August. Because sometimes the best way to understand what's happening in the financial markets isn't another headline... It's simply looking at which assets are actually going UP—and which ones aren't. We'll compare the performance of the major markets and see where traders and investors were putting their money throughout August. We'll discuss: U.S. Equities – The S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow and Russell 2000 all finished August higher despite plenty of volatility along the way. Technology – AI remained one of the dominant market themes, with another massive Nvidia earnings report helping reinforce enthusiasm for the AI trade. Small Caps – Are smaller companies finally participating more meaningfully in the bull market? Gold – Precious metals delivered another powerful month as inflation, geopolitical risk and concerns about the dollar drove demand. Bitcoin & Crypto – Bitcoin was one of August's standout performers as digital assets attracted another wave of capital. Energy & Crude Oil – Middle East tensions and disruptions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz kept energy markets firmly in focus. Bonds & Interest Rates – Treasury yields remained a major source of volatility as investors digested inflation data and Kevin Warsh's message from Jackson Hole. The U.S. Dollar – What currency markets are telling us about inflation, monetary policy and global capital flows. But we're not just ranking winners and losers. We're asking the much more important question: What is August's performance telling us about September? The S&P 500 gained roughly 2.5% in August, continuing an earnings-driven bull market. Semiconductor stocks remained strong, with Nvidia gaining nearly 9% for the month, while software stocks continued their impressive recovery. But some of the biggest moves weren't in stocks at all. Bitcoin gained more than 20% during August, while gold also posted a powerful monthly advance as investors increasingly looked toward scarce assets amid concerns about inflation, government debt and monetary policy. Meanwhile, crude oil remains one of the market's biggest wild cards as renewed tensions in the Middle East pushed Brent back above $90 per barrel to close out the month. That's a very interesting combination: Stocks rising. Gold rising. Bitcoin rising. Oil rising. Bond yields remaining elevated. Normally, those assets aren't all telling us the same story. So what exactly is the market pricing in? That's what we'll try to figure out today. And the timing couldn't be better because tomorrow we turn the calendar to September—historically one of the most difficult months of the year for U.S. equities. For additional market research, check out CME Group Markets, Federal Reserve Economic Data, and Nvidia Investor Relations. Listen now:

Bonds Yields and Elections November is not that far away and the rates of U.S. Treasuries are rising. The Treasury Secretary is trying various strategies (perhaps, with November in mind) to juice the markets and get rates down, but they are not working all that well. What's going on? What is the relationship between elections and treasury rates? We ask one of the leading experts in the world on this topic, Layna Mosley (who has a fabulous new paper on Brazil, elections and rates). Politicians (at least some of them) better watch out — winter is coming. Producer: Leanna Doty

US equity futures are mixed but off their lows, with S&P futures slightly down. Bonds are little changed overall, while the dollar is slightly softer after Friday's gains. Crude is firmer amid renewed US-Iran strikes, precious metals remain under pressure, and Bitcoin is modestly higher but still below 79K level. Sentiment is soft into this week as tensions in the Middle East escalated over the weekend. US forces struck Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, with Tehran responding via intercepted missile strikes on US bases in Jordan. It was the first direct exchange of fire since July. Hence, diplomacy remains stalled. Companies Mentioned: KKR&Co., ONEOK, Inc., SK Hynix

Shasky tells Spadoni that having Bonds in attendance to honor Kent made him sad as he feels Bonds will never get into the Hall of Fame, Spadoni disagrees.

Fixed-income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors.

Investments in cryptocurrencies are relatively new, highly speculative, and may be subject to extreme price volatility, illiquidity, and increased risk of loss, including your entire investment in the fund. Spot markets on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and largely unregulated, and therefore, may be more exposed to fraud and security breaches than established, regulated exchanges for other financial assets or instruments. Some cryptocurrency-related products use futures contracts to attempt to duplicate the performance of an investment in cryptocurrency, which may result in unpredictable pricing, higher transaction costs, and performance that fails to track the price of the reference cryptocurrency as intended.

It's Friday Q&A—with a small experiment. Don slips one AI-generated voice among the listener questions and challenges you to identify the robot, with his complete two-book library hanging in the balance.The financial questions are thoroughly human: where to keep a future car fund, whether an $11,000 Roth-conversion program earns its fee, when children can fund Roth IRAs, and what happens when bond holdings move from a traditional IRA into a Roth.Don also tackles the enviable problem of an oversized HSA, its inheritance rules and post-65 flexibility, plus the timing tradeoff for Social Security survivor benefits.0:46 — Friday Q&A and the find-the-robot challenge4:03 — Where should a $70,000 car fund live?7:21 — Is an $11,000 Roth-conversion plan worth it?9:39 — Roth IRAs for children—and newborns11:13 — Bonds that move into a Roth conversion13:54 — The $500,000 HSA problem16:43 — When a surviving spouse should claim Social SecurityQuestions?

Robinhood says it wants to be everything to investors—but its fastest-growing attractions look a lot like a casino. Don and Tom examine prediction markets, options, crypto, payment for order flow, and the uneasy fit between fiduciary advice and a brightly lit door to speculation.They explain why gamification and enormous transfer bonuses can be especially dangerous for inexperienced investors. If the goal is long-term wealth rather than entertainment, a boring, diversified custodian still beats a platform built to monetize trading excitement.Then they answer questions about using bonds during a retirement downturn, combining CD ladders with target-date funds, the trap behind eye-popping mortgage REIT dividends, and better ways to give money to grandchildren.1:03 — Robinhood and its merry band of revenue streams3:00 — Vlad Tenev explains the financial supermarket5:36 — A fiduciary office beside a casino door8:28 — Monetizing speculation instead of investing13:14 — Using bonds when retirement begins in a downturn21:06 — CD ladders and target-date funds23:36 — The truth behind 17% REIT dividends27:28 — UTMA, UGMA, 529s, and gifts for grandchildrenQuestions?
