This week, something seismic happened in private markets. Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, and Coatue's Philippe Laffont announced a $1B tech fund that's now accessible to individual investors — with minimums starting at just $50K. Let that sink in. The floodgates are opening. What used to require millions and insider access is now coming to retail. First Hamilton Lane launched the first truly retail private fund exclusively on Repubic with a $500 minimum and now Coatue offering access to its own unique offering at $50k (funds like these typically have minimums in the millions). In this episode, Scott is joined by KingsCrowd's Head of Product, Brian Belley, to unpack the real impact of this new "public-private" trend — and how everyday investors (and fintech bros) can take advantage of this radically evolving market. What they discussed: - Why this marks the official arrival of the retail private equity era - The pros, cons, and potential traps for new investors - How to build a modern portfolio without getting wrecked by fees, hype, or fine print - Why the next generation of private investing will blur the lines between public and private assets Support the show (and your wallet) by creating a free account at Kingscrowd.com.

In a stunning revelation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessette cites a Vanguard stat showing that 97% of individual investors held their positions during a recent market downturn, resisting what some allege was a coordinated sell-off by institutional investors aimed at undermining Donald Trump. This episode explores the growing divide between Main Street and Wall Street, the political implications, and the resilience of everyday Americans who still place their trust in Trump's economic vision.
This Flashback Friday is from episode 301, published last February 21, 2013. Jason Hartman interviews Bud Conrad, Chief Economist of Casey Research, regarding the geopolitical focal points in our world, funneling these down to how it all affects the United States. Bud mentions the importance of looking at the big picture of what is happening in the world, particularly China becoming the new “mover” in the world, Japan's apparent desire to destroy its currency, new technology, government overreach, who benefits from inflationary measures and monetary policy, and much more. Author of the new book Profiting from the World's Economic Crisis, Bud Conrad holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. He has held positions with IBM, CDC, Amdahl, and Tandem. Currently, he serves as a local board member of the National Association of Business Economics and teaches graduate courses in investing at Golden Gate University. Bud, a futures investor for 25 years and a full-time investor for a decade, is also a regular lecturer for American Association of Individual Investors and a frequent contributor on Fox Business News. In addition, he produces original analysis for Casey Research, including unique charts and research on the economy and investment markets.

Lawrence McMillan, president of McMillan Analysis, says the market has been in an oversold rally and is currently correcting as it comes out of that. He sees deteriorating breadth but still thinks this could be what he called "a healthy correction." McMillan says if the Standard & Poor's 500 can't hold the 5400 level, he would expect it to drop to 5000, a move big enough to put the stock market into bear market territory, a decline of 20 percent from market peaks in February. Wade Pfau, professor of retirement income at The American College of Financial Services, returns to the show to discuss updates to "Retirement Planning Guidebook: Navigating the Important Decisions for Retirement Success,” and discusses the trend of investors trading some potential returns for more certainty, using annuities and reverse mortgages to secure income. Plus Wayne Thorp, head of research and analysis products for the American Association of Individual Investors — who created AAII's growth investing strategy — talks growth investing amid declining growth in the Money Life Market Call.
Op lange termijn worden koersen bepaald door de winsten van de bedrijven waarin u belegt. Soms lopen koersen een beetje achter op de winstontwikkeling, vooral wanneer beleggers somber zijn, of als de rente hoog is. Op andere momenten lopen de koersen vooruit op de winsten. Zoals ten tijde van corona, toen beleggers dachten dat door alle monetair en fiscale steun de economie en de winsten wel zouden herstellen. Dat hadden ze goed gezien. Het doet me denken aan beursgoeroe Josef Lakonishok, die stelde dat de beurs en de economie als een hondje zijn dat wordt uitgelaten door zijn baas. Soms loopt de hond vooruit, soms loopt hij achterop, maar hij blijft in de buurt. Momenteel lopen de koersen ook weer wat vooruit. Dat komt met name door het geloof in kunstmatige intelligentie (AI). In de verwachting dat dit de efficiëntie en dus de winsten zal verhogen. Op korte termijn worden koersen vooral bepaald door vraag en aanbod. Er zijn verschillende groepen beleggers die allemaal een eigen strategie hebben en een ander denkvermogen en ervaring. De memehype uit 2021 liet zien dat de groep met particuliere beleggers groter en agressiever kan zijn dan grote hedgefondsen. Deze laatste groep beleggers zat vooral short in aandelen zoals AMC, GameStop, Bed Bath & Beyond en Koss. Door de gestegen koersen moesten de hedgefondsen met de staart tussen de benen hun verlies nemen. Vier jaar later kunnen we constateren dat de koersen van deze aandelen in de meeste gevallen zijn teruggevallen naar de fundamentele waarde. Ergo: dicht bij nul. Particuliere beleggers laten een opmerkelijke veerkracht zien. Ze zijn weliswaar somber volgens een enquête van de American Association of Individual Investors, toch kopen ze bij deze koersdip aandelen bij. Het is als Pavlovs hondje dat leerde dat het bij het luiden van een bel te eten kreeg. Zodra hij die hoorde, ging hij kwijlen. Sinds de coronacrisis weten deze beleggers dat er altijd weer herstel komt. Dus kopen ze bij iedere dip weer bij, kwijlend in afwachting van het koersherstel. Dit jaar staken ze maar liefst $67 mrd in de markt. Op korte termijn krijgen ze hulp van Amerikaanse pensioenfondsen. Die moeten, nu het kwartaaleinde nadert en aandelen het slecht hebben gedaan, aandelen bijkopen om het gewicht daarvan in hun portefeuille weer op peil te brengen. UBS berekende dat ze de komende dagen voor ongeveer $85 mrd moeten kopen. Als iedereen koopt, gaan de koersen omhoog. Op korte termijn tenminste. Bedenk dat dipkopen de afgelopen jaren wel heeft gewerkt, maar dat dat niet altijd zo zal zijn. Wie een beetje zijn beursgeschiedenis kent, weet dat er lange periodes met dalende koersen kunnen zijn. Dus wees geen kwijlende hond en blijf baas over je eigen beleggingsstrategie. Over de column van Corné van Zeijl Corné van Zeijl is analist en strateeg bij Cardano en belegt ook privé.

Stocks rallied last week following dovish comments and forecasts from the Federal Reserve, but Chair Powell said inflation may be 'transitory', which brought back nasty flashbacks from 2021. Investors are as bearish as ever, but retail investors have been buying the dip on our favorite stocks that are way off their recent highs. Is our timing terrible, or have we decided that the market has bottomed and the tariffs that go into effect next week will just be a minor adjustment? Plus, what the SKEW Index is telling us, and what to expect in the stock market and the economy this week.

Doug Ramsey, chief investment officer at The Leuthold Group, says that stock market swings have had increasing impact on economic growth and the rate of inflation in recent years — "Price is a fundamental," he says — and that means the current downturn in the stock market could deliver a recession. At the same time, if the market moves from current correction-levels to bear-market levels, he expects inflation to then ease up and to help drive a potential recovery. Charles Rotblut, editor at AAII Journal, discusses the latest investor sentiment survey from the American Association of Individual Investors, which just hit its third straight week with bearish sentiment above 57 percent and bullish sentiment below 20 percent, a three-week stretch in both numbers that has never been seen since the survey started in 1987. While sentiment levels didn't hit these levels during events like the Dot-com Crash and the Great Financial Crisis, Rotblut noted that when sentiment reaches bearish extremes, the market typically has rebounded in six months, which bodes well for a recovery before year's end. In the NAVigator segment, Roxanna Islam, head of sector and industry research at VettaFi, discusses the Invesco Closed-End Fund Income Composite ETF — which she considers the "Standard & Poor's 500 for closed-end funds" — as it celebrates its 15th anniversary and crosses $800 million in assets.
The percentage of individual investors who expect stock prices to fall over the next six months reached the highest level since November 2023, according to the latest survey from the American Association of Individual Investors. Wall Street Journal reporter Hannah Erin Lang joins host Ariana Aspuru to discuss what this uncertainty in the stock market could mean for your investments.

What if your emotions are driving your investment choices more than actual market changes? In our latest episode, we sit down with Charles Rotblutt, Vice President of the American Association of Individual Investors, to uncover the complex dynamics of market sentiment and its surprising influence on investment decisions. With a focus on the rapid information flow in today's markets, we examine the emotional rollercoaster investors often experience, even when their portfolios remain steady. Charles offers his unique insights into how maintaining a long-term investment strategy can help navigate these emotional waves and reveals why undervalued sectors, such as small-cap stocks and international markets, could be poised for a comeback.We tackle pressing concerns dominating investors' minds, from inflation and national debt to interest rates and current market valuations. The conversation spans the shifting behaviors in investing—from traditional strategies to the gamification and speculative trends seen today. Despite these changes, there's hope in diversification, allowing investors to discover hidden gems within market volatility. By discussing valuation disparities between small-cap and large-cap stocks, as well as between international and U.S. markets, we emphasize the critical importance of balanced portfolios.

Bill Adams, chief economist for Comerica Bank, says his forecast for 2025 now includes fewer rate cuts, slightly higher inflation, and increased fiscal support for the economy, but those conditions are signs of an an economy "that's humming along, continuing to grow, it's not a recession," and he says the risk of a recession in the next year or two is now "back to its historical normal." Charles Rotblut, editor at AAII Journal — the keeper of the American Association of Individual Investors' sentiment survey — discusses how bullish sentiment was on the rise and bearish sentiment on the decline in the immediate aftermath of the election, and that the impact could last for more than the few big-volume trading days the market posted last week. David Trainer, founder and president at New Constructs, revisits Peloton, one of the first "zombie stocks" the company started labeling back in 2022, discussing why the company's recent run — up about 150 percent in the last three months — is not going to save it from the ultimate financial death its numbers say it must suffer. Plus, Alison Hadley discusses a survey on the impact of social media on fashion purchases, which found that social media — and specifically "outfit of the day" posts — inspired the average American to make roughly $250 in purchases over the last six months.

You've undoubtedly met people who have made a lot of money in the stock market and dreamed you could become one, too. If that's you, I've got great news. You can learn to be a successful stock investor, make some money and maybe some friends while you're at it. How? By joining an investment club. Today we welcome Ionnie McNeill, a member of the nonprofit National Association of Investors to give us the lowdown. You can download the episode wherever you get your podcasts: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on YouTube Music (formerly Google Podcasts) Listen on Spotify Don't forget to check out our podcast page for more episodes designed to help you make the most of your money. What is an investment club? Our guest, Ionnie, talks about joining an investment club and how it's helped her and others become better investors. Even though it's relatively easy to start investing no matter how much money you have, sometimes it helps to learn from others. Plus, investment clubs can also provide support. For an index investor like Miranda, joining a club might not make sense. However, if you want to learn how to evaluate stocks and understand the metrics to use when picking stocks for your portfolio, an investment club can help. Ionnie takes us through the mechanics of her club and how it works to help new investors learn. Additionally, being part of an investment club can motivate you, even as a seasoned investor, to implement principles that will benefit your portfolio over time. We also talk about other types of investment clubs beyond stocks, like those that focus on real estate investing and other assets, that you can join based on your interests. How to avoid investment club scams Unfortunately, whenever you have a good thing, someone almost always wants to scam off it. That's the case with investment clubs as well. There are plenty of financial scams masquerading as investment clubs. Ionnie helps us understand some of the scam red flags to watch out for: A stranger approaches you online, through social media or texting app. There's no real vetting process. A legitimate investment club usually has requirements to join and a process that allows you to see if you fit. There's a focus on day trading or getting rich quick. The asset selection process isn't transparent and you're told there's minimal participation. Ionnie suggests joining the American Association of Individual Investors, which can help you find model portfolios and principles, and also checking out BetterInvesting.org, which can help you find (or even start) an investment club. Meet this week's guest, Ionnie McNeill[caption id="attachment_492295" align="alignnone" width="837"] Courtesy of Ionnie McNeill / Money Talks News[/caption] Ionnie McNeill is a longtime BetterInvesting member and volunteer, originally joining as a youth member. Currently, she is serving as a BI National Board Member and the President of the BetterInvesting South Florida Chapter. In the summer of 2020, Ionnie and 26 other people started the South Florida Model Investment Club, which welcomes visitors to come and observe how an investment club is run on BetterInvesting Principles. "The Baby Billionaire's Guide to Investing" is her children's book explaining the importance of investing early and the power of compound interest.

Avi Gilburt, founder of the Elliott Wave Trader, expects the stock market to reach new highs, but thinks the current rally will carry to those record levels by no later than the second quarter of 2024, after which he says "a bear market is going to be in our future." Additionally, he says there will be a banking crisis that is part of the bear market, notig that systemic issues with the banking system will create trouble that "will likely be worse than what we saw in 2008," when troubles in the financials sector were cornerstone to the Great Financial Crisis. Brenda Langenfeld, portfolio manager for Nuveen, says that banking environment will actually create opportunities for investors in preferred securities, noting that heightened banking regulatory oversight will be favorable for credit investors, that positive fundamentals suggest stability and growth and that valuations are at levels "that present a capital appreciation opportunity over the next year." Also on the show: Charles Rotblut discusses the latest sentiment survey from the American Association of Individual Investors, which shows levels of bullishness at their highest levels in more than two and a half years, and portfolio manager Francisco Bido of F/m Acceleration brings his quant-active investment style to the Market Call.
A SEAT at THE TABLE: Leadership, Innovation & Vision for a New Era
For nearly two decades most investors' attention was focused on the stock market. Then suddenly central banks began raising interest rates and investors began to rethink their strategies.That's given rise to growing interest in a range of alternative investment vehicles, including CEFs, internal funds, ETFs, UITs, and commodity pools.However, until now most of these investment vehicles have only been available to institutional investors. I'm Jane Singer and welcome back to A Seat at The Table where we sit down with industry leaders and innovators to gain valuable insights that will help us grow our businesses.Today we're joined by Kimberly Flynn, managing director and partner at XA Investments. Having previously served as the Senior Vice President and Head of Product Development for Nuveen Investments' Global Structured Products Group, Kim's leadership and dedication played a pivotal role in developing over 40 closed-end funds and raising approximately $13 billion in capital.Kim will discussing:The democratization of alternative investments that is allowing individual investors access to institutional-caliber strategies.What she sees as the top emerging alternative asset classes.What investors need to consider in an investment environment where there's high interest rates and inflation.How alternative investments can work with an ESG strategy.Useful Links:Asianet Consultants: https://asianetconsultants.comKimberly Flynn: kflynn@XAInvestments.comXA Investments: www.xainvestments.comVisit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm

If the wealthiest families of the past century spent a reasonable amount of their wealth, invested in the stock market, and paid taxes, there would be thousands of billionaires today. But there aren't. So, what happened? To answer this question, we are joined by authors and finance professionals, Victor Haghani and James White. Their recently released book, The Missing Billionaires: A Guide to Better Financial Decisions, uses the missing billionaires puzzle to explore how and why most investors fail to capture the returns offered by the market. Victor was a founding partner of Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), the multi-billion-dollar hedge fund that famously collapsed in 1998 and nearly took the global financial markets down with it. His participation in the downfall of LTCM led him to reassess much of the way he thought about investing, and in this episode, he shares some simple but powerful frameworks and personal finance recommendations. We also receive accessible explanations of the Merton model and expected utility theory from James, take a deep dive into dynamic asset allocation, discuss optimal solutions for lifetime spending, and learn more about the certainty equivalent return and Sharpe ratios, plus so much more. Whether you're an entrepreneur invested in your own business or simply focused on building long-term wealth, Victor and James' book (and this conversation about it) will be a valuable resource for better financial decision-making, so be sure to tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: (0:05:19) The puzzle of the missing billionaires (and why it matters to Victor and James). (0:09:45) Some common but critical financial decision-making problems most people face. (0:12:39) Unpacking the coin-flipping experiment in their ‘What's Past is Not Prologue' paper.

(0:29:04) What the Merton share tells us about dynamic asset allocation if it is or isn't possible to estimate expected equity returns. (0:35:29) How real expected returns affect optimal risky shares for long-term investors. (0:37:29) Different ways to forecast volatility to determine the optimal risky share. (0:42:00) Easy-to-understand definitions of the utility curve and expected utility theory. (0:50:20) Using the certainty equivalent return and Sharpe ratio to evaluate investments. (0:57:56) Whether or not options belong in the portfolios of typical retail investors. (0:59:01) If expected utility is a good model for normative personal finance recommendations. (1:05:16) How Victor's experience with LTCM affected him, both professionally and personally. (1:09:08) What optimal solutions for lifetime investing and spending look like. (1:22:22) Questions to ask yourself to work out your own utility function and risk aversion. (1:28:19) Victor and James' parting financial advice and respective definitions of success.

Today we welcome James Choi, Professor of Finance at the Yale School of Management, to the show to share some of his insight into what he has dubbed practical finance. James has focused his research on behavioural finance, behavioural economics, household finance, capital markets, health economics, and sociology, and is turning this expertise into pragmatic knowledge marketed towards ordinary people. This reframing and reconfiguration of the theory for all people and the decisions they make, could not be more in line with what we are trying to do here at Rational Reminder, and this conversation with James was packed with so many surprising and informative responses to relatable questions. We ask James about index funds, the benefits of advisors, optimal equity, diversification, and much more. We also spend a little bit of time exploring the individual reasons that people have for their decisions, with James expanding on the disconnect between people's philosophy and their actions. Further topics include the role and impact of education, renting versus buying, and the formulation of his concept of practical finance, so make sure to join us and catch it all. Key Points From This Episode: The failure of economic theory to explain everyday financial decisions. (0:03:03) A little about James' course on personal finance at Yale.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by equity analyst John Zolidis. He's the president and founder of Quo Vadis Capital, which provides research for both professional money managers and individual investors, specifically in the retail and restaurant sectors. Dan and Corey kick off the podcast by discussing what they're bullish on – what they like, what they want to buy, and what they're buying. Corey expresses optimism in U.S. stocks, citing their recovery and global financial leadership as "the best house in a bad neighborhood." Dan shares his optimism for the housing sector, highlighting historically low inventory levels. (00:41) Then, John joins the conversation to share his perspective on the possibility of beating the market and overcoming cognitive biases in investing. He brings up "the wise-man problem," referring to the cognitive bias that arises from an individual's belief that they have seen and understood all market situations based on past experiences. (19:41) John challenges the belief that outperforming the market is impossible, citing the importance of understanding companies and long-term prospects. John emphasizes the need to align investments with financial goals and avoid short-term performance targets influenced by media hype. He believes a longer-term perspective is the key to gaining an edge as an individual investor. (39:23) ➡️ Watch Here
