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 32: The Twenty-Dollar Bill.LEARNING: Trade as if the markets are efficient, even though they are not. “If the markets were perfectly efficient, then no one would discover anything about a mispriced stock. There would be no abnormal behaviors or biases, such as investors preferring to buy lottery stocks; therefore, there would be no incentive for investors to conduct any research. This would make the market inefficient.”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 32: The Twenty-Dollar Bill.Chapter 32: The Uncertainty of InvestingIn this chapter, Larry explains the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) and why successful trading strategies often self-destruct due to their inherent limitations.According to Larry, one of the fundamental tenets of the EMH is that in a competitive financial environment, successful trading strategies self-destruct because they are self-limiting—when they are discovered, they are eliminated by exploiting the strategy.He shares the example of Andrew Lo's adaptive markets hypothesis, which acknowledges that while the EMH may not necessarily hold in the short term, it does predict that inefficiencies will self-correct over time as arbitrageurs exploit them after publication. This understanding leads us to the inevitable conclusion that financial markets trend toward efficiency in the long run.Efficient markets rapidly eliminate opportunities for abnormal profitsTo demonstrate how the efficiency of markets rapidly eliminates opportunities for abnormal profits, Larry shares the following example:Imagine that an investor discovers that small-cap stocks have historically outperformed the market in January. To take advantage of this anomaly, that investor would have to buy small-cap stocks at the end of December, before the period of outperformance. After achieving some success with this strategy, other investors would take note—with the large dollars at stake, Wall Street is quick to copy successful strategies. An academic paper might even be published. Since the effect is now known to more than just the original discoverer of the anomaly, one would have to buy before others do to generate abnormal profits. Now, prices start to rise in November. But the next group of investors, recognizing this was going to happen, would have to buy even earlier.As you can see, the very act of exploiting an anomaly has the effect of making it disappear, making the market more efficient. This underscores the significant role investors play in shaping market efficiency.Behave as if equity markets are...

The feud between President Trump and Fed Chair Powell is really a fool's errand. Neither can possibly know what interest rates should be, simply because interest rates are derived in the marketplace. Price fixing, by either the Fed or the President, always ends us creating economic malaise. The Fed should not exist because there's no way to properly fix prices, and counterfeiting is unconstitutional and immoral. The current posturing between fails to get us closer to ending this anti-American institution.

Is pursuing Financial Independence (FI) truly worth it, or is it just a fool's errand? In this solo episode of Journey to Launch, I'm unpacking the hidden struggles of the FI journey—the sacrifices, the emotional rollercoaster, and the reality that more money won't magically fix all your problems. From feeling cash-poor while building invisible wealth to navigating shifting goals and unexpected challenges, here is the ugly truth about FI and how to stay motivated without putting your life on hold. In this episode, I share: The Illusion of Wealth & Invisible Abundance- How Financial Independence often means accumulating invisible wealth through investments and assets rather than cash, making people feel “broke” despite growing net worth. Sacrifices and Trade-Offs – The journey to FI requires cutting back on spending, which can feel restrictive and lead to burnout if not balanced with enjoying life. "Each Level Has Its Devil" – Reaching FI doesn't magically solve all problems; new challenges arise, such as financial decision fatigue, fear of running out of money, and identity shifts. Uncertainty in the Journey – Life circumstances change, making FI goals fluid; focusing on financial flexibility rather than a fixed number is more sustainable. FI as a Journey, Not a Destination – True financial freedom comes from security, flexibility, and autonomy, rather than just quitting work; enjoying the process is crucial.

Renaissance Women: Eulalie Spence

Eulalie Spence (1894-1981) was a playwright, director, and teacher from the British West Indies. She made a living as a school teacher, a profession she stayed in for 40 years, but truly made a name for herself by winning awards in several theater competitions. As a self-described “folk dramatist,” her plays depict everyday Black life. This led her to gain criticism from contemporaries like W.E.B. Du Bois, whom she was in the famed Krigwa Players with. She authored some fourteen plays, five of which were published, including “Episode,” “Fool's Errand,” “Her,” “The Hunch,” and “Undertow.” Her works continue to be studied and performed today. For Further Reading: Eulalie Spence, Playwright of the Harlem Renaissance Era Black Female Playwrights: An Anthology of Plays before 1950 Review: In Eulalie Spence’s Harlem, the 1920s Come to Life - The New York Times This Black History Month, we’re talking about Renaissance Women. As part of the famed cultural and artistic Harlem Renaissance movement, these women found beauty in an often ugly world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica.

Greg and Ed ring in 2025 with a difficult look back at their New Year's Resolutions from 2024. They recognize the obvious: if you don't keep your resolutions, you only have yourself to blame. But they try to answer the interesting question of whether Bangkok itself might make keeping certain resolutions more difficult.    Ed begins with a confession that he mostly failed in his efforts to improve his Thai. His plan was to study a well-regarded PDF of common Thai expressions, and while he did succeed in having a Thai friend make some recordings, he didn't spend much time actually studying them. His second resolution was to watch the top ten best Thai films of all time, and watch them in Thai with Thai subtitles. Again, although he downloaded some of the films, he blew off actually doing the hard work. Ugh.    Greg fared somewhat better. Although he failed to watch a movie and read a book about key figures in Thai history, he did manage to spend more time at the Siam Society and develop a new hobby, the Japanese art of archery known as kyudo. Yea Greg!   Ed's last resolution involved an effort to establish a new ‘third place.' In this case, some serious effort was put forth at a very Thai local gym, but Ed failed to make any meaningful connections and eventually couldn't muster the motivation to keep going.    Both guys conclude that expat life can make it difficult to keep these types of ‘self-improvement' resolutions: expats tend to live in very self-contained bubbles that don't make it easy to make significant changes to your life. Given this insight into the expat situation, in the end, it's all on you to find a way to get it done. :) Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

This week, Kate explores the Ballerina Farm article heard ‘round the World Wide Web and reacts to the Times UK profile of homesteaders Hannah Neeleman and her husband Daniel, who run a picturesque farm in Utah with their eight children. Kate high-level examines Neeleman's portrayal of farm life, the influence of their Mormon faith on gender roles, how that lack of context likely made the article more inflammatory to a secular audience, and discusses the complexities of claimed empowerment in our choices when they're from a finite set of options. She also goes on a gratuitous Juilliard tangent (the Troy Bolton of it all), but not before a predictable plea to her audience to not marry someone after three weeks and a rant about bearing children being left up to God's will. Kate also touches on her confusion about the label of “trad wife,” wonders if she is one while her son is on her lap while she records, and attempts to explore the nuances of active versus passive harm when promoting a certain traditional (or regressive) lifestyle on the internet.
