Podcasts about income investing

Denn Kapital, das über Jahrzehnte wachsen kann, schafft Handlungsspielräume, die weder Staat noch Arbeitgeber garantieren. Genau darum ging es in dieser Folge des Einkommensinvestoren-Podcasts: Wie Eltern mit klaren Strategien, eigenverantwortlichem Handeln und einer Portion Disziplin für ihren Nachwuchs ein robustes Finanzpolster aufbauen können.

This episode of the Mo Money podcast is a recording of a live event we did on how to build a second income from investing. So, we addressed the elephant in the room, talking about what's going on in share markets today. We throw some market data in there around what investors really need to know to make smart moves based on what's happening at the moment, as well as covering the building blocks of investing and how to actually build another income stream from investing, how the tax works on that, and how you can minimise or avoid that, and some of the investment mistakes to look out for that can hold you back.  This episode is perfect for anyone that wants to make smart investment moves today and create another income stream to replace their salary, so that they're working out of choice rather than necessity.   Want to make smarter money moves and get ahead faster?  Upcoming events: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/ben-nash-pivot-wealth-34379655697 Learn more about Pivot Wealth: https://pivotwealth.com.au/ Check out Ben's book, Get Unstuck: https://www.getunstuckbook.com.au/   Check us out on socials:    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bentalksmoney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotwealth/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenNashPivot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pivotwealth/ Chat about how Pivot Wealth can help with your money: https://calendly.com/pivot-new-clients/intro-chat-w-pivot-wealth   Note: The advice shared on this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, sits down with Christine Thorpe, Institutional Portfolio Manager at Fidelity Investments, to discuss the critical role of core fixed income in insurance portfolios. Despite being the largest allocation for most insurers, core fixed income often takes a backseat to higher-yielding asset classes. Christine shares insights on sector positioning, duration management, and Fidelity's preference for rates over spreads in today's evolving market.   With Fidelity managing approximately $2 trillion in fixed income strategies, Christine also highlights the firm's team-based investment culture and how it helps drive consistent performance. She discusses how insurers can navigate shifting economic conditions, the importance of patience and diversification, and why thoughtful risk management is essential for long-term success. Whether you're deep in the fixed income space or looking to refine your approach, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

This episode is a recording of a live event I did on how to build a second income investing, where we covered investment basics all the way down to the different types of investments out there, how to construct an investment mix that actually works for you, the difference between index funds and non-index funds, and, again, how to choose and practically how you can get started. We also went through some of the top investment mistakes that hold people back. So, this episode is perfect for anyone that wants to invest more or invest smarter with more confidence.   Want to make smarter money moves and get ahead faster?  Upcoming events: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/ben-nash-pivot-wealth-34379655697 Learn more about Pivot Wealth: https://pivotwealth.com.au/ Check out Ben's book, Get Unstuck: https://www.getunstuckbook.com.au/   Check us out on socials:    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bentalksmoney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotwealth/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenNashPivot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pivotwealth/ Chat about how Pivot Wealth can help with your money: https://calendly.com/pivot-new-clients/intro-chat-w-pivot-wealth   Note: The advice shared on this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.

Watch VideoInvesting involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility.Investors in asset-backed securities ("ABS"), including mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), generally receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary based on the rate loans are repaid. Some asset-backed securities may have structures that make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, making their prices volatile and they are subject to liquidity and valuation risk. CLOs bear similar risks to investing in loans directly, such as credit, interest rate, counterparty, prepayment, liquidity, and valuation risks. Loans are often below investment grade, may be unrated, and typically offer a fixed or floating interest rate.This material is not intended as a recommendation or as investment advice of any kind, including in connection with rollovers, transfers, and distributions.

0:00 Intro 0:56 Recapping the Year for the Market's Best Performers 2:28 How to Respond When Your Stocks are Up Significantly 3:59 Topic 1: Debunking "Too High, Too Fast" 13:39 Topic 2: Alternatives if You Can't Stomach Staying Long 16:40 Bonus: Another Income Idea In speaking with clients over the last few weeks, one theme keeps coming up in discussions. Many of their portfolio stocks have made sharp, quick moves higher, prompting two key questions: "Are these stocks too high, too fast? Should I sell?" In this week's Jarvis® Update, CEO Noland Langford and Director of Research, Brian Dress, do their best to debunk the myth of "too high, too fast". We look at 5 stocks early in the video, 4 of which have seen stock prices increase by more than 100% in 2024 alone. Noland looks back on his considerable experience as both an advisor and an investor to share wisdom he's learned over the years in how to deal with such fortuitous circumstance. He urges investors to allow the "magic" of their best growth stocks to play in their favor. The takeaway: stocks that move high often have a great chance to continue their strong performance over the years. We have a keen understanding from working with investors that our optimistic viewpoint doesn't fit with every personality. For those investors, we offer an alternative, diving deeper into our income securities project, which we have been building diligently over the last six months. For those who make it to the end of the video, we cover one of our favorite income securities, which we wrote up this week. If you still have cash building up in checking, savings, CDs, or elsewhere on the sidelines, now is the time to consider finding it a new place to grow. Contact us for some ideas of how you can reallocate those funds more productively.

0:00 Intro 0:59 Market Update 3:29 Topic 1: Outlook for New Administration Policy 8:09 Topic 2: Investment Opportunities in the New Administration 11:27 BKLN -- Another Income Security The US Election is past and we have a definitive winner. There are plenty of implications for health policy, foreign policy, and beyond, but today we are focusing on the implications for our listeners and their investments. The 2 main messages we want to stress are (1) Don't Do Anything Rash and (2) Don't Mix Your Politics with Your Investments! In this week's Jarvis® Update, CEO Noland Langford and Director of Research, Brian Dress, cover the changes we expect to see in fiscal policy (taxes and spending), along with the regulatory regime. We expect to see a lighter environment for regulation, along with an administration more favorable to mergers & acquisitions, which is ultimately shareholder friendly. We also touch briefly on what sectors we expect to perform well in the coming Presidential administration. The episode closes out with yet another income security idea, which you need to watch to the end for the reveal. With interest rates on a bit of a rollercoaster in 2024, we have an idea that should perform well in a rising interest rate, due to its investment in floating rate debt. We know some of you were holding money on the sidelines waiting for the outcome of the election. With that uncertainty behind us, it's time to put those funds to work. If you still have cash building up in checking, savings, CDs, or elsewhere, let us know. As interest rates drop, you are taking on more reinvestment risk and we have some ideas of how you can reallocate those funds.

0:00 Intro 0:53 A Look Back at the Year to Date 3:52 Topic 1: Investing Around the US Election 7:49 Topic 2: Earnings Season in Full Swing 13:01 Topic 3: BONUS -- Income Securities We know there are jitters among investors as we move swiftly toward the US Presidential #election. Volatility has kicked up over the last 6 weeks, especially as regards #interestrates. In this week's Jarvis® Update, CEO Noland Langford and Director of Research, Brian Dress, cover our thoughts on the election. You won't hear us pontificating on matters political, but we do share historical data suggesting that the ultimate result of the election is unlikely to make a substantial difference in long-term return expectations. We also give you our view into the 3rd quarter #earningseason as it continues to unfold. We heard very constructive reports from major tech companies in Netflix (NFLX), ServiceNow (NOW), and Tesla (TSLA). We share thoughts on a few other names, including United Parcel Service (UPS) and a couple blasts from the past in General Electric (GE) and International Business Machines (IBM). The episode closes out with a bonus Topic 3. As interest rates have drifted lower in 2024, we have been on the hunt for new avenues for income. This has led us to closed-end funds and Brian shares one of our favorites. If you still have cash building up in checking, savings, CDs, or elsewhere, let us know. As interest rates drop, you are taking on more reinvestment risk and we have some ideas of how you can reallocate those funds.

0:00 Intro 0:49 Market Recap 1:59 Topic 1: 2nd Quarter Earnings Review 8:36 Topic 2: Is This a Market in Transition? With 2nd quarter earnings moving toward a close, we are taking inventory of trends developing in the overall markets. Where information technology and communications services were the sectors dominating in the first half of 2024, we are starting to see some new trends developing, as interest rates begin to crest and move lower. In this week's Jarvis® Update, CEO Noland Langford and Director of Research, Brian Dress, discuss some of the most market-moving earnings over the past week, including from major players like Nvidia (NVDA), Salesforce.com (CRM), and CrowdStrike (CRWD). We also note the change in market leadership that has occurred over the past 3 months, as the move in interest rates has been to the benefit of highly interest rate sensitive sectors of the market like real estate and utilities.

Inflation report pretty much solidifies a rate cut in September Personal consumption expenditures prices (PCE) were right in line with expectations as they increased just 2.5% in the month of July. Core PCE, which is the Fed's preferred measure came in at 2.6% and was slightly below the estimate of 2.7%. While both readings matched the June inflation report, I would say inflation at around 2.6% is still extremely manageable and I believe we will continue to see it trend towards the 2% target as we exit the year. With these numbers I believe we will see the Fed cut rates by 0.25% at the September meeting and then we could see one or two more cuts before the end of 2024.    Will oil and natural gas disappear over the next few years? You may think that in a few years oil and natural gas will be a thing of the past, but Exxon believes the consumption of oil will be the same in 2050 as it is today and they don't see carbon emissions dropping until the year 2030. In the report they do see the world demand for natural gas increasing by 21% by the year 2050 while they expect the demand for oil to increase by just 2%. They do point out most of the growth for these energy sources will come from the industrial sectors to fuel manufacturing and also from chemical feed stock. Exxon does believe consumption of biofuels, solar, and wind will continue to rise, but clearly, they believe natural gas and oil are still needed to help fuel our world's energy needs. The big loser they believe is coal as they see that energy source dropping off 39% by 2050. To help with emissions, Exxon is largely turning towards carbon capture and hydrogen-based fuels.    Rent concessions are climbing at apartment complexes! We are now well into the second half of 2024 and as we have been saying for the past couple years we believe the overbuilding of apartment buildings will eventually put downward pressure on rents. According to Moody's, rents are up 22% since 2019 across the country and the average rent is $1750, but due to the overbuilding of apartment buildings, landlords are having a hard time maintaining the higher rents and are now starting to offer concessions such as a month or two of free rent or a discount on utilities. Some of the more creative apartment companies have come up with cash rewards or gift cards to Amazon, CVS, Target or Walmart if you pay your rent on time. Don't get too excited about the concessions. They may sound good, but be sure you do the math to find out how much you're really saving. One large rental company says by offering a rewards program, about 97% of the renters renewed their lease in 2024. That is well above the national average renewal rate of 65%. I do believe over the next couple of years we should see rents decline somewhat as vacancies climb and these big rental companies have to pay the loans on all the construction costs, they incurred to build these apartments. Simply put, they will need the cash flow to make their debt payments.   Business failures have climbed this year! Over the past year, starting a business has not been that easy. The number of failed new businesses increased by 60% as the new business owners ran out of money. Could this be because of a slowing economy? Bad business management? Or not having enough cash to start a business? Or perhaps it could be all three?   Growth vs Income Investing The fundamental goal of investing is to make money, but for most people this is broken into two phases, growth and income. During working years everyone is saving and investing money, building their nest egg so during retirement, they can stop working and begin relying on income from their assets to support them. However, it is one thing to add money every paycheck to a 401(k) for 30 years, it's another thing entirely to withdraw money from an investment portfolio every month for 30 years without running out. During the growth phase, the swings in the market aren't as emotionally tolling because there's a paycheck coming in every few weeks. When that paycheck stops and you're selling positions to withdrawing money from an account during a market decline, things can go bad quickly. Not to mention nest eggs are largest in retirement, so a small percentage change is still a large dollar swing. The average retirement lasts over 20 years, but bear markets occur about every 4 years so retirees have to endure these periods multiple times. During a bear market if positions are sold at the wrong time, if the bear market lasts too long, if too much is withdrawn, or if the investments aren't sound, the portfolio will not have enough remaining funds to recover. Again this is not a risk during the growth phase when funds are begin added, not withdraw. To prevent against volatility risk in retirement, a lot of people shift their investments to something overly conservative, which short term feels safe, but long term will not produce the growth necessary to keep up with inflation and prevent outliving money. Before actually retiring, it is necessary to get comfortable with an investment philosophy that will continue to provide growth but will also allow sustainable withdrawals through the ups and downs of the market. Mistakes made early in retirement can result in the need to return to work or heavily reduce your lifestyle which no one wants to do after spending decades looking forward to retirement.   Companies Discussed: Super Micro Computer, Inc.(SMCI), Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM), Advance Auto Parts(AAP)

As advisors, this is one of the most frequently asked questions we hear from clients and other investors.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and David Blanchett discuss:  People's irrational preference  A gap between perceived and actual ability Is cryptocurrency going to last?  Investing when there are low yields   Key Takeaways:  In theory, people should be indifferent between spending down their portfolio and living off of it - but investors aren't always rational, they have a strong preference towards not depleting their portfolio, and they want to live off of the income.  As you age, your probability of making a poor decision increases. At the same time, the gap increases between your perceived ability to make good decisions and your actual abilities.  Blockchain technology is real, it has some potential public use but the value of cryptocurrency is effectively speculative and most investors are young people who have never seen market downturns.  Don't focus on the fact that it could drop in value, focus on how it does in creating sustainable income.    "The best thing you can do is to make 'easy buttons' and a way to enjoy retirement where you're not stressed out all the time when the market goes down." —  David Blanchett    Connect with David Blanchett: Website: https://www.davidmblanchett.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-blanchett-b0b0aa2/    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today - https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

This week on the Expert Voices podcast, Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio, speaks with David Nilssen, CEO of DOXA Talent, and a forerunner of revolutionizing how businesses think about and engage with borderless talent. Randy and David take a look at the intricacies of borderless talent acquisition and the attributes that contribute to the success of a CEO in today's ever-evolving SaaS landscape. They discuss how purpose-driven approaches to outsourcing can bring about positive global change and how talent scarcity, remote work, offshoring, and AI integration are altering the business world permanently. David also talks about the value of peer groups and why you need to invest in your tribe. Quotes“The interesting thing about the Guidant business is that we don't make a tremendous amount of money financing businesses. That's what we're known for. But we actually really try to break even, as you're pointing out, on that particular deal. And then we have tax and accounting, payroll and 401K administration on the back end. And so what's really interesting about that business is that we've figured out a way to acquire a customer, profitably acquire a customer and then provide them with other services that really has no acquisition cost associated with it.” -David Nilssen [30:32]“How do we operate at the edge of our own ignorance? How do we keep learning and how do we have enough humility to ask? Because part of the thing I think as a CEO is people look at you for the answer and sometimes you don't know what the answer is. And so you got to admit that you don't know and then go ask questions of everyone you can. Like what you're describing with learning about subscription businesses and how that model works, is going to help you be a better leader and create a better business.” -Randy Wootton [42:22]Expert Takeaways The talent landscape is being reshaped by four key trends: talent scarcity, the rise of remote work, the necessity of offshoring, and AI advancements.Creating a meaningful employee experience is crucial for retention and productivity, particularly in remote work settings.A focus on 'impact' and 'income' helps secure a sustainable career progression for remote employees, generating value for both the employee and employer.Peer groups provide valuable support for personal and professional growth, benefiting not only business leaders but also their interpersonal lives.Today's CEO: curious and open to learning, embraces their role with humility and has a keen sense of responsibility.Timestamps(01:46) Trends in talent scarcity and remote work(04:31) Challenges and advantages of focusing on SMB and mid-market(10:50) Creating a culture of purpose, leadership, team, client, and career(17:05) The value of career pathing and continuous learning for employees(22:19) Tracking the key metrics(30:38) Investing in your tribe: mentor, coach, peer group, and peer advisory(34:56) How to be a CEO: learning and humility(37:26) EO, peer groups, and investing around you(42:16) Success: curiosity, ownership, and a people-first mentalityLinksMAXIOUpcoming Events

Today, Jason discusses his recent trip to Budapest, Hungary and yacht week in Greece. He believes the Fed must pivot and lower interest rates and increased housing affordability will lead to a rebound in the housing market. The majority of investors are buying properties and taking more control over their finances by using the hybrid self-management approach he recommends to his exclusive group  Empowered Investor Pro. And in this episode Jason welcomes David Hay, financial advisor and chief investment officer of https://evergreengavekal.com/ giving a macro outlook on today's economy. David shares deep insights into the economy, markets, and income investing. With a focus on generating cash flow from investments, their expertise lies in income generation. Hay believes we're on the verge of a major credit spread expansion, which is crucial for financial markets and the economy. Credit spreads, the difference between government and corporate bond yields, widened significantly last year, negatively impacting balanced portfolios. While credit spreads narrowed and led to a rally, Hay predicts another widening due to rising bankruptcy and tightening lending standards. Understanding credit spreads can provide buying opportunities and higher yields in the future, despite market timing challenges.
