Podcast appearances and mentions of gil baumgarten

Brett Ewing, chief market strategist at First Franklin Financial Services, says that the rally he expected for small-cap stocks when he last appeared on the show in January, finally arrived in the third quarter and the stock market is now rotating towards smaller companies, industrials and real estate investment trusts. Ewing says that he expects the stock market to have a "decent correction" near the end of the year, if only because the market has seldom been up this much after three quarters and most years with a similar gain have seen a downturn in the fourth quarter; while he thinks the market will quickly backstop a decline, he noted that investors may also want to lean into fixed income because bonds, historically, have outperformed equities in the first 12 months after the federal reserve starts a rate-cutting cycle. Nadia Vanderhall, Financial Planner and CEO at Brands + Bands Strategy Group, discusses her recent blog post on how consumers can use gift cards as a budgeting and money-management tool — and can be a valuable accessory for teaching kids about money — and Gil Baumgarten, founder and president of Segment Wealth Management talks ETFs and stocks in the Money Life Market Call.

In the past year, the stock market has made headlines with its unexpected ebbs and flows, signaling to people who otherwise had their money elsewhere to try their hand at investing, while setting off alarms of panic in others. With the feeling of so much riding on each decision you make with your money, ‘weathering the storm' that is the stock market certainly tests the resilience of the investor and their funds. Natural responses of fight or flight, risk versus reward and confirmation biases all play a part in how far an investment can go, as well as just simply knowing the rules around fees and taxes on investments. This ‘behavioral finance' is what Gil Baumgarten explores in his new book, Foolish: How Investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over by the System.Beginning his career at the venerable EF Hutton in the early 1980s, Gil became a top portfolio manager for UBS and Citigroup Smith Barney, becoming one of only a handful of professional money managers with a 15-year all-ETF portfolio track record.  After decades of working with brokerage firms and feeling more like a number with dollar signs and less like a true advocate for his clients, he transitioned to working independently, starting his firm Segment Wealth Management in 2010 as a Fiduciary Financial Advisor.Helpful links:Join the Strategic Financial Mastery programJoin Our Free CommunityTrain your team with an on-site workshopDisclaimer:BYFIQ, LLC is a wholly owned entity of Coltivar Group, LLC.

Have you been wondering if we are truly in a recession and how you should prepare?

Hear his perspective on long-term investments both for return and stability, the number one financial mistake investors should avoid, and healthy habits to put into practice. Baumgarten reminds us that the Bible does not say that money itself is evil. Rather, the love of money is evil and some of the rich were only vilified because of their motives.

In this episode, Jeff and Gil discuss: Succession planning and partnering. Transitioning your business at the right time. Building your business and referring the work that doesn't fit your model. Running your own business versus working in a larger brokerage firm.   Key Takeaways: Doing what's right morally for the right reasons will often work out in the end. The evolution of technology has changed the game for the financial world. Leverage your staff in a way that allows you to show up and perform in the role that you feel is your greatest strength. Brokers who are comfortable in their cocoons at the wirehouses have no idea of how big the numbers are when it comes to going out on their own.   "I really never appreciated the relief that I would have, from meeting a prospect and caring less about how I was gonna get paid. It is such a relief to me to not have to figure out how I'm going to fit a square peg into a round hole, and I think the clients receive it better, because they understand that they are not the square peg in my round hole." —  Gil Baumgarten Connect with Gil Baumgarten: Website: https://gilbaumgarten.com/ Website: https://segmentwm.com/Book: https://gilbaumgarten.com/book/  Connect with Jeffrey Concepcion: Website: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.comContact: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.com/contactTwitter: https://twitter.com/Stratos_WealthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stratoswealthpartnersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffconcepcion1/

It seems like every other week there's a new investment craze and before you can wrap your head around it everyone on social media is already on to the next one. In this week's episode, I'm joined by a veteran of the investment industry to help navigate through all the investing noise. Gil Baumgarten is the Founder, President, and CEO of Segment Wealth Management and the author of FOOLISH: How Investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over by the System.  Gil Baumgarten has been a part of the investment industry for over 37 years and has been the multi-year recipient of the Top 1,200 Financial Advisors in America distinction by Barron's. He started his career on Wall Street in the 1980s but found it routinely emphasized its own interests over the clients. In 2010, Gil left the brokerage world to start Segment Wealth Management, a fiduciary firm where the interests of the client and the firm could align. He launched his first book, FOOLISH: How Investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over by the System last spring. In this episode Gil pulls back the curtain on Wall Street and why he ultimately decided to leave and do things on his own terms. Gil shares why a lack of understanding about short-term investing is what leads to major losses and ending up in high tax brackets. I also ask Gil what's the difference he's seen from working with high-net-worth individuals and what we can learn from their investment strategies.

Summary: I sit down with Gil Baumgarten to discuss where the market is heading in the coming year, and the ways that you can play it safely to mitigate risk and maximize returns. He contends that energy is probably going to continue to go higher into the new year, especially if demand spikes during the winter. Additionally, we're seeing a rise in interest rates, threats to traditional real estate, and other drastic changes. Tune in to get the full scope of the future market. Highlights: -Where is the market heading in the coming year and years ahead? How can you play it safely to mitigate risk and maximize returns? -Energy is probably going to continue to go higher -Oil has advantages in terms of transportability, but you can't transport Natgas as easily -During winter, if demand were to spike, energy could go up very dramatically -Rise in interest rates is putting a lot of pressure on tech stocks -There has been a shift back towards value that has happened over the last decade -There's a lot of smooth sailing with regard to this shift -Baumgarten in concerned about traditional real estate, and states that the effects of the pandemic will still be visible -Weakness of office space rents -If you see something you want on the market, it's smart to buy it sooner rather than later -ETFs are more tax efficient, and from an estate-planning standpoint, much more effective than mutual funds -ETFs are better vehicles all around and have a spectacular tax advantage Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Segment Wealth Management The Reality of Inflation is Setting in with Gil Baumgarten The Markets Are in Flux, Will They Crash? with Gil Baumgarten

Baumgarten reassures us in saying that It is not good for money to only head in one direction—it's vital for markets to take one step back so that true base value can be found and the market stays in sync. Highlights: -Markets are in flux—they tend to fluctuate up and down -Are we having the much awaited correction? Will it become a crash? -It's not good for money to only head in one direction—it needs to shake from time to time so that true base value can be found. It's like trimming the hedges in your yard; they come back healthier -Every boom ends with a bust, but the marketplace typically takes four steps forward and one step back. The one step back keeps the market in sync -There are a lot of negative trends occurring -Biden inherited a booming market with full employment due to full taxation -Should investors get rid of all their tech and move to energy? -High energy prices are inevitable -A lot of people are thinking that we are at the end of fossil fuel transportation -Electric consumes fossil fuels too—just out of sight -Perhaps we have an electric future, but it will not happen overnight -Policies are hostile to US energy and consumption—which puts people at a disadvantage -Deck-clearing events produce the opposite outcome in their wake Useful Links: Segment Wealth Management Gil Baumgarten

BIO: Gil Baumgarten is a 36-year veteran of the investment industry. In 2010, Gil made a break from the brokerage world to start Segment, a fully fiduciary firm where the interests of the client and the firm could align. STORY: Gil invested heavily in UBS shares, and when the 2008 financial crisis hit, the stock lost its value and knocked about 80% of the market value of his stocks. LEARNING: Concentration is the key to getting wealthy. Diversification is the key to keeping your wealth. Don't be too diversified or overly concentrated.   “Wealth is the sum total of all the money you've never spent.”Gil Baumgarten  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gil-baumgarten/ (Gil Baumgarten) is a 36-year veteran of the investment industry. In 2010, Gil made a break from the brokerage world to start https://segmentwm.com/ (Segment), a fully fiduciary firm where the interests of the client and the firm could align. He has since attracted a billion dollars in supervised assets. He is a multi-year recipient of Barron's Top 1,200 Financial Advisors in America distinction, wherein Gil was ranked in the Top 50 Financial Advisors in Texas. Worst investment everGil decided to accumulate some stock options and use that to retire in his 60s. His plan was to have a couple of million dollars worth of stock and stock options. Gil invested heavily in the UBS stock and was feeling confident about it. Come around 2008/09, not only did the stock market fall apart, but his UBS shares dropped and knocked about 80% of the market value of his stock. He lost well into six figures in a relatively short time. The vast majority of his loss was occurring in his UBS shares. Lessons learnedDon't get carried away. Be mindful of the risks that you cannot control. Concentration is the key to getting wealthy. Diversification is the key to keeping your wealth. Stop speculating, instead buy an index fund and let it sit if you're interested in compounding wealth. Andrew's takeawaysPeople get wealthy by first concentrating their energy on improving themselves through education and/or working with smart people. Second, they find the right way places to allocate their money. Don't have too much diversification. You want to get exposure, particularly to the stock market, because you need that compounding. But you also don't want to be overly concentrated. Figure out where you're going to create the most wealth. Actionable adviceReduce speculative investments. Anything that you're buying with the anticipation that you're going to sell to someone else at a later date for more money is speculation, as opposed to buying shares in Coca-Cola or American Express, or any other well-established business.

Dow Down 765, we've been due for a correction since March 2020. Shortest time in history where the market doubled.  Technology has brought about a huge evolution. Spreads have diminished. Everything is digitized. High frequency traders have changed the game. It's made commissions free and has saved investors money. It's an unsolvable puzzle. If the SEC reverses this policy is could have negative effects. Buy blue chips to hold for the long-run. Gil is a big proponent of ETF's. Avoiding commingled accounting and annual gains involved with traditional mutual funds is a major benefit. That combined with estate planning benefits can make a huge difference in estate taxes.

In the past year, the stock market has made headlines with its unexpected ebbs and flows, signaling to people who otherwise had their money elsewhere to try their hand at investing, while setting off alarms of panic in others. With the feeling of so much riding on each decision you make with your money, ‘weathering the storm' that is the stock market certainly tests the resilience of the investor and their funds. Natural responses of fight or flight, risk versus reward and confirmation biases all play a part in how far an investment can go, as well as just simply knowing the rules around fees and taxes on investments. This ‘behavioral finance' is what Gil Baumgarten explores in his new book, Foolish: How Investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over by the System.Beginning his career at the venerable EF Hutton in the early 1980s, Gil became a top portfolio manager for UBS and Citigroup Smith Barney, becoming one of only a handful of professional money managers with a 15-year all-ETF portfolio track record.  After decades of working with brokerage firms and feeling more like a number with dollar signs and less like a true advocate for his clients, he transitioned to working independently, starting his firm Segment Wealth Management in 2010 as a Fiduciary Financial Advisor.
