Recently, famous radio show host and personal finance guru Dave Ramsey made headlines by saying he's perfectly comfortable with an 8% withdrawal rate in retirement. Critics were quick to respond, calling his advice scary, dangerous, and just plain wrong. So, who's right?  On this episode, hear Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, break down Ramsey's comments and how you should be thinking about income and spending in retirement.    Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: How Dave Ramsey explains his position on the 8% withdrawal rate. Why the math might seem simple but is actually wrong. What you need to know about Geometric and Arithmetic returns. You can't ignore the sequence of return risk with a 100% stock portfolio. Is the 4% rule too depressing?   Have questions? Need help making sure your investments and retirement plan are on track?

For all the narratives around investing and making money, those who have survived the investment cycles for decades and earned above average returns have typically adhered to sound disciplines. This means valuing companies correctly, not taking shortcuts, not being swayed by management ebullience, and digging into the financial statements is key to optimising returns. In this episode, Steve Clapham, veteran analyst, investor and creator of Behind the Balance Sheet explains why effective investment training has diminished, and how reading accounts is more important than ever in an era of waning cheap money. Steve shares his candid thoughts on the CFA and explains why the cash flow statements are so vital. He then explains why opportunities on the buy-side are increasingly plentiful, before covering a few case studies of 'creative accounting' (including two recent high profile fraud scandals: Patisserie Valerie and Wirecard).    ​​The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, Bremont Watches, LiveTrade and IFM Investors. -- FURTHER RESOURCES To help improve your equity analysis and access world-class training videos, consider signing up to Steve's Analyst Academy Course.

Le président de transition, le général Tiani, a abrogé la loi criminalisant les migrations le 27 novembre – qui prévoyait des peines contre toute personne aidant des migrants à passer la frontière. Cette décision, salue Mouryya Niger, « respire les vibrations d'une réponse à l'Union européenne » en réponse, précise L'Événement Niger, « à la position de l'UE qui a voté une résolution pour exiger la mise en liberté du président déchu Mohamed Bazoum, et son rétablissement au pouvoir ».Cette abrogation actée par le général Tiani est donc un témoignage supplémentaire – si besoin était -, de la dégradation des relations entre Niamey et ses anciens partenaires occidentaux, « encore un coup de canif, déplore Aujourd'hui au Faso, à la coopération avec l'UE », un « gros pavé dans le jardin européen ».Endiguer les flux migratoires en EuropeCette loi était même, juge L'Événement Niger, une forme d' « ​​​​​​​externalisation des frontières européennes ». Alors même que « ​​​​​​​des migrants peuvent quitter des capitales de l'espace Cédéao et effectuer librement leurs voyages », assène un membre de la société civile interrogé par le journal nigérien, « ​​​​​​​c'est quand ils arrivent [dans cette ville, la "porte du désert"] que leur projet migratoire est un interdit ».Empêchés de franchir les limites invisibles, tracées dans le sable, qui mènent vers la Libye ou l'Algérie, des milliers de migrants se sont donc retrouvés bloqués à Agadez, devenue, déplore Aujourd'hui au Faso, « ​​​​​​​un hub forcé de migrants illicites ».Revers pour l'UE, satisfaction pour certaines communautésCar une véritable économie s'était développée autour des migrations : ainsi, croit savoir L'Événement Niger, qui affirme s'appuyer sur des chiffres du Conseil régional, « après 11 mois de la mise en application de la loi, en 2015, l'économie de la région avait perdu environ 65 milliards de francs CFA ».Une manne financière tarie donc avec la loi criminalisant les migrations, qui avait permis, concède Aujourd'hui au Faso, au moins officiellement, « ​​​​​​​de mettre un terme au trafic crapuleux et criminel des passeurs » et autres « ​​​​​​​trafiquants de tous acabits ». Alors, le titre burkinabè regrette que pour seule réponse à une Union avec laquelle les relations sont devenues délétères, celui qu'elle appelle ironiquement « ​​​​​​​G.I. Tiani » n'ait « ​​​​​​​pas trouvé mieux que d'ouvrir cette sorte de route de Shangri-la désertique ». Et à la fin, grince le même membre de la société civile cité plus haut, « ce sont [les migrants] qui reçoivent le coup de bâton ».Discussions entre Patrice Talon et Boni YayiLe président béninois et son prédécesseur, chef du parti les Démocrates, se sont rencontrés hier lundi à Cotonou. « L'opportunité d'échanger sur plusieurs sujets d'actualité », expose sobrement La Nouvelle Tribune, comme le retour des exilés, l'audit du fichier électoral pour les scrutins généraux de 2026, ou l'éventuelle libération de certains détenus – dont Joël Ayivo et Reckya Madougou par exemple.Surtout, le titre béninois s'enthousiasme du symbole que constitue cette rencontre, « ​​​​​​​démarche de dialogue » qui, même, « représente un pas important vers la réconciliation et le renforcement de la démocratie » dans le pays.Mais le journal pose une nuance, une mise en garde contre « ​​​​​​​l'hypocrisie politique » qui peut parfois teinter ce genre de rencontres. Or, c'est précisément ce que pointe Le Pays, qui s'interroge sur « ​​​​​​​la sincérité de [l]a démarche » de Patrice Talon - démarche que le journal burkinabè salue néanmoins, y voyant un signe « ​​​​​​​d'élégance politique et de considération envers son opposition ». Mais la prudence reste de mise car, « ​​​​​​​une chose est de recevoir l'opposition en audience, une autre est d'accéder à ses requêtes ».Des résultats en demi-teinteCertains sujets ont rencontré des fins de non-recevoir du président, comme le sort de Reckya Madougou. Il faut dire, analyse La Nouvelle Tribune, que le chef de l'État « ​​​​​​​n'a certainement pas envie d'avoir des soucis supplémentaires ». Alors, certes, des gestes envers ses adversaires politiques pourraient rejaillir positivement sur lui, mais « à quel prix » ?Bref, trop risqué – alors les deux leaders politiques ont plutôt accordé leurs violons au sujet de la révision du fichier électoral et de la composition de la commission électorale suffisant, espère Le Pays, pour « dissiper les doutes de l'opposition »et « créer un climat de confiance favorable à la paix sociale ». Il en va, martèle enfin le journal, « ​​​​​​​de l'intérêt de tous ».

Victor Haghani and James White are co-authors of "The Missing Billionaires, A Guide to Better Financial Decisions." Victor is also the founder and CIO of Elm Wealth and David is the CEO, where they implement these concepts for their clients. This fascinating book discusses investment decision-making and risk-sizing and how to make better financial decisions with your wealth.   Markets have behaved very well for 100 years, resulting in real profits for investors. However, few rich families from the early 1900s have been able to retain their wealth despite exceptional returns in the markets. The problem isn't that people make poor decisions about what to invest in, they make poor “risk decisions” about how much risk to take and when to take it.   This podcast is hosted by Rick Ferri, CFA, a long-time Boglehead and investment adviser. The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded individual investors who follow the general investment and business beliefs of John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Group. It is a conflict-free community where individual investors reach out and provide education, assistance, and relevant information to other investors of all experience levels at no cost. The organization supports a free forum at Bogleheads.org, and the wiki site is Bogleheads® wiki.    Since 2000, the Bogleheads' have held national conferences in major cities nationwide. There are also many Local Chapters in the US and even a few Foreign Chapters that meet regularly. New Chapters are being added regularly. All Bogleheads activities are coordinated by volunteers who contribute their time and talent.     This podcast is supported by the John C.

BIO: Luke Gromen has 25 years of experience in equity research, equity research sales, and as a macro/thematic analyst.STORY: Luke put a large position in a private equity investment because it had a great founder who had previously created and sold some tech companies. Additionally, one of Luke's dearest friends went to work there. However, he didn't realize that the company was overvalued, so when the founder couldn't raise funding, the company collapsed, and Luke lost all his money.LEARNING: Position sizing is crucial. Don't get too excited and emotionally invested in an investment. Be careful when investing in illiquid assets because you can easily get trapped. “Start small; you can always get bigger. You're better off chasing a higher valuation down the road of a more successful operation than starting too big and then having to put in more money or be stuck.”Luke Gromen Guest profileLuke Gromen has 25 years of experience in equity research, equity research sales, and as a macro/thematic analyst. He is the founder and president of macro/thematic research firm FFTT, LLC, which he founded in early 2014 to address and leverage the opportunity he saw created by applying what clients and former colleagues consistently described as a “unique ability to connect the dots” during a time when he saw an increasing “silo-ing” of perspectives occurring on Wall Street and in corporate America. FFTT caters to institutions and sophisticated individuals by aggregating a wide variety of macroeconomic, thematic, and sector trends in an unconventional manner to identify investable developing economic bottlenecks for his clients.Prior to founding FFTT, Luke was a founding partner of Cleveland Research Company, where he worked from 2006-14. At CRC, Luke worked in sales and edited CRC's flagship weekly thematic research summary piece (“Straight from the Source”) for the firm's clients. Prior to that, Luke was a partner at Midwest Research, where he worked in equity research and sales from 1996-2006. While in sales, Luke was a founding editor of Midwest's widely-read weekly thematic summary (“Heard in the Midwest”) for the firm's clients, in which he aggregated and combined proprietary research from Midwest with inputs from other sources.Luke Gromen holds a BBA in Finance and Accounting from the University of Cincinnati and received his MBA from Case Western Reserve University. He earned the CFA designation in 2003.Worst investment everLuke's worst investment ever was a private equity investment he made. He started investing in it in early 2001, relatively early in his career when the US was already in recession. The investment was in a tech company similar to Amazon but for construction supplies. It had a database targeting the industrial B2B space.The company had a great founder who had previously created and sold some tech companies. Some friends of Luke knew him and spoke highly of him. Additionally, one of Luke's dearest friends went to work in the company, so he had somebody on the inside telling him the company was going well. All this made Luke overconfident, and he went in too big. The investment was about 30% of his entire net worth. Luke didn't think anything wrong was going to come up. Then Luke met the founder and realized he was not a very good salesperson. He didn't think much about it anyway.One day, Luke talked about his investment with a tech analyst at work. When he mentioned the initial valuation, the analyst told him he would lose all his money. This is because...

Henssler Money Talks – November 18, 2023Season 37, Episode 46This week on “Money Talks,” Chief Investment Officer Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, is joined by Managing Associate Melanie Wells, CFP®, and Associate Peter Lynch to cover the week's economic news, including the Consumer Price and Producer Price indices, Retail Sales, and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey. Melanie and Peter consider a wealthy investor who wants to leave his massive estate to his five grandchildren. With the grandchildren ranging in ages from 3 to 20, the experts explore his options of using a trust to shelter their inheritance from estate and gift taxes. Additionally, the trust can allow him to control how his money is used from beyond the grave. The experts wrap the show by addressing a question on finding the “sweet spots” in the current Treasury market.Timestamps and Chapters00:00 Market Roundup: Covering November 13 – November 17, 202322:55 Case Study: Using Trusts to Pass on Wealth34:13 Q&A Time: What are the “sweet spots” in the current Treasury market?Follow Henssler:  Facebook: http://bit.ly/HensslerFacebook  Twitter: http://bit.ly/HensslerTwitter  LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/HensslerLinkedIn  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/YouTube: http://bit.ly/HensslerYouTube   “Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

The barrier to entry for online "fin-Influencers" is incredibly low, but responsible professional technical analysis covers an immense body of knowledge. In this episode, we dig into the complexity behind John's technical mosaic and the multi-factor models he uses. Yet, the simplicity with which he communicates market conditions and portfolio construction to his institutional clients cannot be overstated. While understanding "the health of the market" allows portfolio managers to responsibly take on risk for clients while maintaining situational awareness of market fragility, ignoring intermarket relationships and bottom-up trends leaves precious alpha off the table and presents career risk. Considering the ~60% rally of US equities off the LTCM low in 1998 to the peak in March of 2000, a lack of breadth is not reason enough to avoid market risk.The long and winding road of John's career on Wall St. allowed him to learn from many notable practitioners from his early days at Lehman Brothers to more recently as a buy-side technical strategist at Fidelity (FMR). He outlines a fascinating genealogy of technical analysts in his "family tree," which he takes great inspiration from and aspires to pay forward that is rooted in Robert J. Farell's Merrill Lynch technical research group. John is a huge advocate for technical analysis, where he is an adjunct university professor and an executive board member of the CMT Association.  Enjoy this insightful, informative, and hilarious episode of Fill the Gap with John Kolovos, CMT, CFA!Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.

In this month's episode of the “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” podcast, Ryan Kisiel, partner and head of Sustain at H/Advisors Maitland, joins host Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP, Havas Red, to discuss trends in climate and sustainability disclosures and reporting, and implications for how brands and businesses communicate internally and externally about these topics in 2024.   2023 has marked another year of climate and sustainability in the spotlight. There's been continued — if not increasing — scrutiny on whether brands and businesses are actually following through with their pledges, particularly around climate and net-zero, and whether there are real data and actionable plans behind those pledges.   In many countries, the push for mandatory disclosures has gained momentum during this period. Back in July, the European Commission adopted the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), standardizing how companies within the European Union report climate change and other ESG-related actions. Meanwhile, in the U.S., where policy on climate disclosures remains in limbo, the state of California has taken matters into its own hands, signing into law the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, known as SB-253, which has implications well beyond companies operating in California.   "Red Sky Fuel for Thought" is a monthly podcast produced by Havas Red, examining emerging themes relevant to brand communicators and marketers.    Note: This H/Advisors' article was referenced in the podcast: “California sets the standard for mandatory carbon disclosures”   What did you love?

Discover Lafayette welcomes Missy Bienvenue Andrade, CEO of the Community Foundation of Acadiana. Community Foundation of Acadiana (CFA), founded in 2000, is a tax-exempt foundation whose core purpose is building legacies and improving communities by connecting generous people to the causes they care about. The organization focuses on the parishes of Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Mary, St. Martin and Vermilion. The parish affiliates each have permanent endowed funds for their geographic region. Missy gave great credit to Raymond Hebert, its first CEO who served until 2022, for his leadership in building an organization that is healthy and ready to move on to its next chapter of philanthropic focus in Acadiana. As of 2022, CFA has received total gifts of $364,588,403.00 over its years of existence. Donations of all sizes are welcomed and "Donor Assisted Funds" or "Corporated Advised Funds" can be established at any level. Scholarships are also housed at the CFA. Missy explained that many times, a donor may want to make an end of the year contribution and wait until disbursing the funds until a later time; special requests and assistance from staff can help the donor make their wish come true in the timing that fits their desires. Donors can also make contributions and request that their funds be invested in the market, either under the direction of their own investment advisor or with the assistance of CFA professionals. Missy Andrade (left) pictured with Erica Ray, Carolyn Doerle, Missy Manuel and Carlee Alm-Labar at a recent groundbreaking of the Paul A. Doerle Farmer's Market Pavillion at Moncus Park. Missy believes an important mission of the CFA is to define how the organization may best assist Acadiana nonprofits. She looked back on 2023's SOLA Giving Day which raised the most money ever for local nonprofits, totalling $1,829,127.00. CFA runs the back office of SOLA Giving Day which has been wildly successful over the past six years. This year Venmo and Paypal were added as payment options and this appeared to eliminated barriers to giving; CFA saw people were giving contributions in the range of $5 and $10, as well as large sums, and the event experienced the highest number of people ever giving on a single day. CFA is entering a new phase of defining its mission. It recently hired Ekstrom, Alley Clontz & Associates ("EAC") to assist in a comprehensive strategic plan for the organization as it determines how it can best serve Acadiana as it builds a bridge to an even more successful outreach. EAC has consulted on behalf of over 200 community foundations across the U. S. and abroad, and is a leader in its field. Rather than just studying other community foundations across the country, Missy emphasized that CFA want to ensure that our particular community needs are identified and addressed. This is Missy's second appearance on Discover Lafayette, as we interviewed her a few years back when she was President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana. Missy Bienvenue Andrade previously served as CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana. You may here our earlier interview with her here The 91st annual Lafayette Civic Cup Awards will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at the City Club at River Ranch. This years award will be bestowed upon Rodney Savoy. The CFA is handling the event. The Savoy family donated the land and beautiful building on which CFA is housed.

Episode Highlights: Michael discusses his role as a translator and liaison for the investment team which is helping clients understand market environments and build intentional portfolios to manage risk. (3:21) Michael mentions that investing is a slow but effective way to build wealth, especially through the power of compounding and sticking to a long-term plan. (5:45) Michael explains that trying to time the markets is not recommended, as studies show that investors tend to buy high and sell low, resulting in significant underperformance. (8:12) Michael discusses how recessions have consistent outcomes within three to five years, making it crucial for those nearing retirement or transitioning to be cautious about spending down principle during a market shock. (16:29) Michael explains that Morningstar is a research-driven investment firm that believes in being prepared for different market environments rather than trying to predict specific outcomes. (20:25) Michael mentions that the current market environment is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, leading to a cautious approach to taking smaller bets in portfolios. (26:31) Michael discusses how Morningstar started as a research and data company in the 80s and now manages investments by categorizing equities based on value, core, and growth, as well as large, mid, and small sizes, to understand the characteristics of a portfolio. (30:27) Michael explains that the price you pay for an asset is crucial in determining its investment potential, as a great asset at a bad price can be a bad investment, while a not-so-great asset at an amazing price can be a good investment. (39:24) Michael emphasizes that historically, markets have experienced fluctuations and declines on an annual basis, but have also shown overall growth over time. (44:51) Key Quotes: “True investing is a great way to build wealth slowly and not a great way to build wealth quickly.” - Michael Laughlin, CFA, FRM “What we actually try to do is build portfolios that are robust to multiple different market environments, or multiple different outcomes. And then, as time passes, and those outcomes reveal themselves in a way, we continually update, we continually tweak, we continually tilt. But we never say, okay, you know, we're going to be in a high inflation, low growth regime.” - Michael Laughlin, CFA, FRM “It's important to remember that the price you pay for something matters. So you can have a great asset, but at a bad price be a bad investment. And, you know, conversely, you can take maybe a not-so-great asset at an amazing price can be a good investment.” - Michael Laughlin, CFA, FRM Resources Mentioned: Michael Laughlin, CFA, FRM, LinkedIn Morningstar Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors
