Stijn Schmitz welcomes Don Durrett to the show. Don Durrett is Author, Investor, and Founder of Goldstockdata.com. The podcast explores the current state of precious metals markets, with a particular focus on gold and silver's potential future trajectory. Durrett's primary thesis centers on the impending failure of the U.S. bond market, which he believes is the fundamental driver behind gold's current and future price movements. He argues that the massive U.S. government debt, currently at $38 trillion and growing by $2 trillion annually, has created an unsustainable economic situation. This instability is causing investors to lose confidence in U.S. Treasury bonds, with countries like China already reducing their holdings. Regarding gold price targets, Durrett is remarkably bullish, projecting prices between $6,000 and $8,000 per ounce. He bases this projection on historical bull market patterns, particularly comparing current trends to gold's performance in the 1970s and early 2000s. He anticipates that gold will experience significant appreciation, especially when the stock market encounters serious challenges. Silver presents a more volatile prospect, which Durrett describes metaphorically as "little sister" following "big brother" gold. He expects potential shortages and significant price fluctuations, with targets ranging from $100 to $150 per ounce. His investment strategy involves extreme diversification, currently holding 161 stocks with minimal allocation to each to manage emotional risk. Durrett emphasizes that his approach is speculation, not traditional investing. He recommends looking for companies with multiple growth potential - through project development, discoveries, and acquisitions. His website, Goldstockdata.com, provides data and analysis for investors interested in precious metal mining stocks. Critically, Durrett warns that this is a high-risk strategy requiring significant emotional discipline. Investors should be prepared for substantial portfolio volatility, potentially experiencing corrections of 30% or more while maintaining a long-term perspective focused on the anticipated economic reset.

Under the leadership of CEO Hiten Sonpal, the company has developed a groundbreaking alternative to hydraulics called Beltdraulics, inspired by the efficiency of human muscles. This innovative technology replaces traditional hydraulics, which rely on fluids and compression, with electric systems that use belts to mimic the tension in muscle fibers.Hiten explained, “Hydraulics required pumps, reservoirs, and hoses. They were inefficient and leaked everywhere. So, [the founders of RISE Robotics] came up with an alternative technology that we now call Beltdraulics.” Beltdraulics offers remarkable advantages, being three times faster, three times more efficient, and three times more durable than traditional hydraulic systems.The company's work is more than just an engineering feat—it's a green revolution. RISE Robotics' technology is already helping industries like oil and gas reduce emissions and improve efficiency. For example, their equipment can cut battery size requirements in half, reducing costs and infrastructure demands while doubling productivity. “If there's anything we can do to clean up [polluting industries], it would be fantastic from a company mission perspective,” Hiten said.RISE Robotics is also making waves with government contracts, including partnerships with the Department of Defense and interest from sectors like maritime, forestry, and mining. The potential applications for their technology are nearly limitless, as hydraulics are used in everything from cranes to farm equipment.As part of its growth strategy, RISE Robotics is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. Hiten emphasized that the campaign offers investors terms similar to those of institutional backers, making this an exciting opportunity for individuals to invest in a clean, green future.RISE Robotics is not just innovating; it's paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable industrial landscape.tl;dr:Hiten Sonpal introduced how RISE Robotics is replacing hydraulics with clean electric systems.Hiten explained the company's Beltdraulics technology, inspired by muscle fibers, that's faster and more efficient.RISE Robotics is disrupting industries, from oil and gas to defense, while reducing emissions and costs.Hiten shared his superpower: building high-performing teams through diversity, psychological safety, and collaboration.Investors can join RISE Robotics' mission by participating in its Wefunder crowdfunding campaign.How to Develop Building High-Performing Teams As a SuperpowerHiten's superpower lies in his ability to build and lead high-performing teams. He explained, “To have a high-performing team, you need diversity—diversity of experiences, ideas, passions, and interests.” He also emphasized the importance of fostering “a culture of healthy conflict” where team members feel psychologically safe to voice their ideas and concerns. This environment enables teams to collaborate effectively, expand possibilities, and achieve more than they would individually.One powerful example of Hiten's superpower in action came during his time at iRobot. After a challenging trip to China, one of his team members called him out during a retrospective for not providing enough central coordination. Instead of reacting defensively, Hiten saw this as a success—a reflection of the psychological safety he'd created within the team. This openness allowed the team to improve and ultimately succeed.To develop this superpower, Hiten suggests creating a culture where feedback is welcomed and encouraged, even when it's directed at leadership. He also advises reducing complexity for teams by narrowing focus and cutting scope on projects, enabling them to move forward effectively.By following Hiten's example and advice, you can make building high-performing teams a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Ethereum hasn't reached full speed yet. Now it might. Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation outlines Lean Ethereum, a plan to optimise the stack so validators stop executing and start verifying. With zk proofs in under 12 seconds and on-prem provers around 10 kW, the base layer can reach gigagas capacity and roughly 10,000 TPS while getting more decentralized. Add Fossil, seconds-level finality, and post-quantum signatures, and the changes stick. We unpack the EthProofs race, the four-phase path to mandatory proofs, the three-times-a-year gas target in EIP-7938, and why native rollups could remove gas ceilings for L2s. If you're wondering whether Ethereum can scale without turning into a data center chain, this is the roadmap. ---

Should the S&P go higher? Today we discuss that and more in this wide-ranging episode. We talk the markets, and warn that investors often cling to bad positions instead of reassessing when wrong, noting that current valuations are stretched and the market appears overextended. There is rising corporate caution during earnings season, weak performance among consumer staples and cyclicals, and the growing dominance of the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks in driving the S&P 500's gains. AI-related capital expenditures and record margin debt levels suggest heightened risk, so you should remain defensive and patient as market conditions soften despite entering a historically strong seasonal period. We discuss...  New York City's election of a socialist-leaning mayor and question how it might impact the city's historically capitalist foundation. Drawing a parallel to investing, we stress the need to reassess assumptions when investments go against you instead of clinging to them. The current market is overextended, with valuations significantly above historical trends and a concentration in a few large tech stocks. Consumer cyclicals and staples, normally defensive areas, have underperformed, suggesting caution for risk-averse investors. The "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks are disproportionately driving the S&P 500's performance, masking weakness in the broader market. AI-related capital expenditures are rising sharply, but returns on these investments remain minimal, highlighting potential overhype. Margin debt has reached record levels, indicating elevated risk if market sentiment shifts. Earnings season shows that even companies beating expectations may see stock declines, signaling that much of the positive news is already priced in. Weak market breadth—many stocks declining while a few outperform—indicates fragility and higher potential volatility. While a correction is possible, seasonal trends historically make late November through January a strong period for markets. Inflation is picking up modestly, while interest rates are being lowered, creating a complex environment for fixed-income investors. Private credit and real estate markets are showing early signs of stress, particularly as products are increasingly marketed to retail investors. Investors are advised to watch for opportunities in mispriced assets but remain cautious due to market overvaluation and potential downside risks. Overall, the discussion emphasizes patience, caution, and careful risk management amid uncertainty in politics, markets, and emerging technologies.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/should-the-sp-500-go-higher-763

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire?

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with Neal Bawa—renowned data scientist, multifamily investor, and founder of GroCapitus, Mission 10K, and Multifamily University. Known as the "Mad Scientist of Multifamily," Neil has helped thousands of investors harness the power of data analytics to identify the most profitable real estate markets across the U.S. Neal shares how he transitioned from running a successful tech company to building a multimillion-dollar multifamily portfolio using his proprietary data-driven system called Location Magic. This method distills hundreds of market variables into five key metrics—population growth, income growth, job growth, home price growth, and crime reduction—to rank U.S. cities and submarkets for optimal returns. We dive deep into how Neal's data science background changed the way investors evaluate markets, why multifamily properties are outperforming single-family homes in 2025, and how his teams are on a mission to build 10,000 rental townhomes for middle-income families nationwide. You'll also discover why the Midwest and Northeast are poised for rent growth, how to spot undervalued secondary markets, and what to expect from real estate cycles over the next decade. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting your multifamily journey, this episode is packed with data-driven insights to help you invest smarter and build lasting wealth.     What You Will Learn: How Neal transitioned from tech entrepreneurship to multifamily real estate investing The five key data metrics behind Location Magic (population, income, jobs, prices, crime) Why 2025 is the best time in years to buy multifamily—and the risks of single-family plateauing How to use data analytics to rank markets and find high-growth cities before they boom Why secondary and tertiary markets (like Carmel, Fishers, and Provo) are outperforming large metros How Neal's Mission 10K is reshaping the American Dream through build-to-rent townhomes The role of inflation, supply, and rent growth in the coming real estate cycle Practical strategies to align your portfolio with macro-economic data trends     Links & Resources: Website: www.grocapitus.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nealbawa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MultifamilyU      Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?

Jesse returns for the 10th "Ask Me Anything" episode to tackle three listener questions that cut to the core of modern wealth planning. He opens with a deep dive into direct indexing, separating substance from sales pitch. While advocates tout it as the next evolution of indexing—combining personalization and tax-loss harvesting—Jesse explains why, for most investors, the extra complexity, cost, and tracking error outweigh the modest tax advantages, making low-cost ETFs the better long-term choice. Next, he answers a question from a listener whose retirement timeline doesn't align with their spouse's, exploring how couples can navigate income changes, healthcare coverage, and tax strategy when one partner stops working years before the other. He breaks down the pros and cons of filing jointly versus separately, showing why joint filing almost always leads to lower overall taxes and greater flexibility. Finally, Jesse delivers a masterclass on decumulation—the art and order of withdrawing money in retirement. From spending taxable assets first to preserving Roth and HSA accounts for last, he maps out how smart sequencing, Roth conversions, and bracket management can extend portfolio life, minimize taxes, and keep retirees financially steady through every stage of the journey. Key Takeaways:• Direct indexing isn't revolutionary for most investors—it's often an overhyped, higher-cost alternative to low-cost ETFs with limited long-term benefits. • Married filing jointly is almost always the better tax choice, offering lower overall tax rates, higher standard deductions, and broader eligibility for credits. • Before changing filing status, couples should test both scenarios using online 1040 tax calculators to see the real impact on their total tax bill. • Guardrail and Monte Carlo strategies help retirees adjust withdrawal rates dynamically based on market performance, rather than using a rigid 4% rule. • HSAs can be used as stealth retirement accounts, reimbursing decades-old medical expenses tax-free or even acting as traditional IRAs after age 65. • The key to successful retirement planning is flexibility—balancing tax efficiency, market uncertainty, and personal goals to ensure sustainable income for decades.

There's a crackdown on money laundering via real estate transactions. FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) is making new reporting requirements that affect real estate investors across the country, including here in Indianapolis and all of Indiana.FinCEN intention is to prevent illicit actors from using legal entities and trusts to anonymously launder illicit funds thru the US residential real estatemarket. Their goal is to identify individuals involved in the “entities”, by requiring industry reporting of very specific information for members, managers, trustees, etc. of the entity.The scope of the rule for reportable real estate transactions are as follows: 1. Property Type: Residential Real property2. Financing: non-financed (cash or private non-licensedlender)3. Transferee: Buyer is a legal entity or trust4. No exemption applies: not a result of transfer due todeath or divorceThere is no dollar amount threshold. All sales of Residential Real Property are reportable. This basically affects almost everyone in real estate to at least a certain degree.Brett Snodgrass talks to James Schultz of Momentum Title Agency about what this means in practical terms for everyone investing in real estate in Indianapolis and really all of Indiana.James Schultz is the Chairman of Government Affairs Committee for Indiana Land Title Association. James has spent a lot of time in Washington DC as this is a federal issue as well as state and local issue.James has spent many hours talking with attorney generals, state senators, state representatives and so many other officials and professionals that are weighing in on what legislation, regulations and practice changes will look like in the coming days.Many of these lawmakers and government regulators don't really understand what it's like to be an investor, nor do they understand how real estate investors, including wholesalers, positively impact the community.Investors help communities when they have good motives and practices. But there are also bad actors out there who give wholesalers, realtors and investors a bad image.This is such an important conversation to listen to. If you want to know what rule changes and new and developing regulations are and how they will impact your real estate business, then listen to this episode.JAMES SCHULTZ - MOMENTUM TITLE AGENCY: https://momentumclosings.com/teams/location/?company=6&location=Indy%20Main

We're mashing up quantum computing, AI infrastructure, and space stocks as we dig into a handful of headline-grabbing earnings reports. From GPU farms on the ground to satellites in orbit, we're asking what's investable now… and what still belongs in the “sci-fi someday” bucket. Emily Flippen, Jason Hall, and Keith Speights: - Break down CoreWeave's latest results, including booming backlog, heavy capex, and whether an AI infrastructure arms race can still reward shareholders. - Compare CoreWeave's reality to “up-and-coming” quantum names like Rigetti, IonQ, D-Wave, and QUBT – and make the case for (or against) taking the tech-giant route with Alphabet or Microsoft instead. - Explain why Rocket Lab's record revenue, rising margins, and growing backlog are bright spots in a bruised space sector – and how government shutdown drama factors into the story. - Dig into AST SpaceMobile's satellite-to-cell strategy, big-name carrier partners, ambitious launch plans, and why 2026 could be a make-or-break year for the stock.
