Imagine a world where investment firms actually worked in your best interest and financial regulators had your back—yeah, keep dreaming. The reality is getting worse, not better. The latest proof? A flood of sketchy "investment opportunities" dressed up as safe and innovative. Take the new PRIV ETF, which claims to focus on "investment grade" private credit—except 95% of its holdings are junk-rated. Or BlackRock sneaking Bitcoin into its model portfolios, giving investors exposure to one of the most volatile assets around without them even realizing it. And, of course, the structured finance industry is partying like it's 2006, bundling up risky loans and convincing investors they're solid bets. The lesson? You cannot rely on regulators, Wall Street, or even common sense prevailing. You need a real investment strategy—not a collection of ideas—and a healthy dose of skepticism. Because if it sounds too good to be true, it is. 0:11 A Sensible Investment World 1:51 The Rise of Risky Funds 3:50 Bitcoin in Portfolios 5:45 The Return of Old Schemes 7:18 The Investor's Responsibility 9:45 The Importance of Strategy 12:13 Listener Questions Begin 14:22 ETFs vs. Mutual Funds 16:26 Bonds in 401k vs. Taxable Accounts Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you hear about the guy who owned last year's top-performing funds? Yeah, it's too bad he bought them this year, though.There's a lot of evidence to suggest that buying and holding index funds will pay off in the long run. Benji Bailey joins us today to make the case with some impressive numbers.Benji Bailey is Vice President of Investments and Senior Fixed Income Manager at Praxis Mutual Funds, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.The Importance of Indexes in InvestingTo understand index funds, we can view them like guideposts in a national park. Just as signs direct visitors to scenic views and help them stay on the right path, indexes serve as essential benchmarks for investors. These benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 for large-cap stocks or the Bloomberg Aggregate for bonds, allow investors to measure their progress toward financial goals.Without these guideposts, investors risk straying off course, possibly realizing too late that their portfolio has been heading in the wrong direction. Publicly available indexes provide a crucial check-in, ensuring investments align with long-term objectives.Many investors believe they can outperform the market by actively trading stocks. However, research suggests otherwise. A study published in The Journal of Finance found that individuals who frequently traded stocks underperformed compared to those who traded less.Over a six-year period:The market returned approximately 18% annually.Less active traders saw returns of around 16.4%.The most active traders only achieved 11.4%, underperforming by over 6%.This trend highlights the dangers of excessive trading. Warren Buffett summarized it well: “The stock market is designed to transfer money from the active to the patient.” The Bible echoes this wisdom in Proverbs 13:11: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Active vs. Passive Mutual FundsA key distinction in investing is the difference between active and passive mutual funds:Active funds: Managed by professionals who handpick a smaller set of stocks, hoping to outperform the market.Passive funds: Designed to mirror an index, holding a broad range of stocks for stable, long-term growth.According to Morningstar, over the past 15 years, only 9% of actively managed large-cap funds outperformed their passive counterparts—meaning 91% of active funds underperformed. This data suggests that passive investing can be a more reliable strategy for many investors.Aligning Investments with Faith ValuesMany faith-driven investors worry that traditional index funds may include companies whose values don't align with their beliefs. Praxis Mutual Funds addresses this concern by screening out companies involved in industries such as:AlcoholTobaccoGamblingAbortion-related businessesHowever, the more companies an investor removes from an index, the greater the potential for volatility in returns. For example, removing just one company from the S&P 500 would have little impact, but excluding half of the index's stocks would significantly increase volatility.Praxis Mutual Funds utilizes an optimized equity index strategy to balance faith-based values with financial performance. Instead of replicating an index, Praxis screens out objectionable companies and uses a software-driven approach to reallocate funds into a diversified mix that closely tracks the market's performance.This method allows faith-based investors to remain aligned with their values without sacrificing reasonable returns.The Role of Patience in InvestingMarket volatility can make investing an emotional challenge. Many investors instinctively buy when the market is high and sell when it's low—precisely the opposite of what leads to long-term success.Historical data shows that the S&P 500 has had an average annual return of around 10% over the past 97 years, but actual yearly returns rarely fall near that average. Investors who stay the course and focus on long-term gains are more likely to benefit from market growth.The Bible encourages this patient approach in Ecclesiastes 11:2: “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” Diversification and patience are essential principles for wise investing.Making a Positive Impact Through InvestingBeyond screening out specific companies, Praxis Mutual Funds takes an active role in making a positive impact through:Proxy voting: Ensuring shareholder influence aligns with faith values.Shareholder engagement: Advocating for ethical corporate practices.Community development investing: Allocating 1% of funds to microfinance and social impact projects.Faith-based investing is about more than avoiding harmful industries; it's also about using investment dollars to create meaningful, Christ-centered change in the world. Whether through index funds or faith-based investment strategies, the goal is to align financial decisions with biblical principles.As Proverbs 21:5 reminds us: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” A well-planned investment strategy, guided by faith and patience, can lead to lasting financial fruitfulness.For those interested in learning more about faith-based investing, Praxis Mutual Funds provides a wealth of information at PraxisInvests.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:As the executor of my deceased relative's estate, do I need to report my role to FinCEN, similar to reporting the controlling party of a company?I'm 85, and I draw Social Security. I used to do side jobs, and when I filed my taxes because of the side jobs, my CPA told me I don't need to file taxes anymore since I'm on Social Security. Now I'm hearing they're talking about cutting taxes on Social Security, so I'm confused. Do I still need to file taxes if Social Security is my only income?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazinePraxis Mutual FundsNeither Poverty nor Riches: A Biblical Theology of Possessions (Volume 7) (New Studies in Biblical Theology) by Dr. Craig BlombergWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Help the Investor Understand Your Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors hear a great number of pitches. In each pitch, the investor must figure out what the startup is doing and if it meets their investment criteria. In pitching, an investor considers these steps to help the investor understand your startup: State clearly what the startup does. In fact, state it in 5-7 words so the investor has a clear understanding. Show a picture of it, if possible. State the value proposition. This shows how the product is different from the competition. Use analogies and metaphors to explain complex technical products so non-technical people get a sense of it.. Identify your target market and your ideal customer profile. Show the customer ROI from using the product. Investors want 10X improvements over the competition, not 10% increases. Show not only a large available market but also an initial beachhead market that you have already established. Display the team and call out the skills each one brings to this startup. By providing a few clear points in the presentation, the investor can more easily grasp the basics of the startup.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

A business needs to have somebody at the ownership level thinking like an investor and somebody at the ownership level thinking like an operator. That could be 2 or more partners owning a business together. Or, it could be one Owner-Operator, who knows how to think like an investor. If, as an operator, you're putting in alot of effort and not getting very much of a return at all, consider if the business is worth it? Does it need to pivot into a different industry? Does it need to be shut down and the equity redeployed elsewhere? These are the sorts of questions an investor needs to answer.

As the founder of OneIMS and co-founder of ClickX, Solomon has helped businesses overcome growth plateaus and achieve measurable, sustainable success.   We discuss the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face when trying to scale, the key mindset shifts needed to break through revenue ceilings, and why AI is becoming a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize operations. Solomon shares real-world strategies for accelerating growth, leveraging data-driven marketing, and making smarter business decisions. Whether you're a solopreneur or running a multi-million-dollar company, this episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately. Episode Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [2:20] – How Solomon went from self-taught web developer to helping businesses scale through data-driven marketing. [4:26] – The turning point that forced him to pivot from website development to full-scale lead generation. [7:38] – The biggest mistake small business owners make when trying to grow. [10:19] – The revenue thresholds where businesses typically hit roadblocks and how to break through. [12:31] – Why mindset is often the biggest bottleneck in scaling a business. [14:47] – How digital marketing and AI can accelerate business growth without increasing headcount. [19:06] – The evolving role of AI in sales and marketing, and why businesses need to adapt now. [24:58] – How AI is eliminating inefficiencies and making businesses more profitable. [26:42] – The future of scaling: why companies that embrace AI will have the biggest competitive advantage.   Five Key Takeaways 1. Scaling requires more than just working harder. Many entrepreneurs believe they need to add more services or expand their offerings, but true growth comes from refining and doubling down on what works. 2. Lead generation is more important than aesthetics. Having a great-looking website or social media presence means nothing if it does not generate revenue. Businesses must focus on conversion-driven strategies. 3. AI is the next competitive advantage. Businesses that leverage AI for automation, marketing, and sales optimization will outperform those that rely on traditional methods. 4. Mindset is often the biggest obstacle. Entrepreneurs who struggle to scale usually have internal roadblocks rather than external ones. Identifying and addressing these limitations is key. 5. Cutting unnecessary expenses accelerates growth. Many businesses waste money on ineffective marketing strategies. Analyzing ROI and reallocating resources to high-impact activities is essential for sustainable success.   Links & Resources https://www.thimothy.com/ Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast 3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD 7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod

We are back in the middle of housing bubble 2.0. Today we cover recent market corrections, investor psychology, and the importance of perspective when managing investments. We talk recent market downturns and real estate. Including the concerns over rising FHA mortgage defaults, government intervention artificially propping up housing prices, and the potential for a significant correction if foreclosure backlogs are released into the market.  We discuss... The U.S. stock market recently declined about 10%, marking an official correction and triggering investor anxiety. Many investors struggle with perspective, reacting emotionally to short-term losses rather than focusing on long-term strategy. U.S. markets have outperformed international markets for the last 20 years, but history suggests this trend may reverse. A 30-40% market correction would simply bring valuations back to historical norms, not signal economic collapse. Financial success means little if it comes at the cost of personal well-being, stress, or strained relationships. Ray Dalio's phrase "cash is trash" is context-dependent, as cash can be a valuable asset in volatile markets. Holding cash during downturns can significantly improve investment positioning when markets recover. The housing market faces risks due to a high FHA mortgage default rate, currently at 14%, one of the highest in history. Government intervention has kept foreclosures from hitting the market, potentially propping up home prices artificially. An estimated 400,000 foreclosures are backlogged due to government support, posing a risk if policies change. If government mortgage relief ends, housing inventory could rise sharply, leading to potential price corrections. Media outlets prioritize sensationalism over useful financial insights, making independent research critical. The economy remains fragile, and regardless of leadership, structural issues could lead to economic challenges. A correction in housing prices could trigger more foreclosures and increase rental market pressure. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum remain volatile but are still significantly up from past lows. Investors must adapt to bear markets, as different strategies are required compared to bull markets. Real estate affordability issues stem from government intervention and prolonged cheap credit policies. If housing supply increases rapidly, sellers could panic, leading to a sharper market decline.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners 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/housing-bubble-2-0-695

Po úterních jednáních prezidenta Donalda Trumpa s Vladimirem Putinem je zřejmé, že se nedostal v otázce příměří tak daleko jako dříve s prezidentem Zelenským.

Přesto Rusko v noci na středu zaútočilo drony na Ukrajinu. „Jsem přesvědčen, že Ukrajina Trumpa nejen nezajímá, ale spíš otravuje,“ hodnotí pro Český rozhlas Plus česko-americký bankéř a investor Ondřej Jonáš.

A business needs to have somebody at the ownership level thinking like an investor and somebody at the ownership level thinking like an operator. That could be 2 or more partners owning a business together. Or, it could be one Owner-Operator, who knows how to think like an investor. If, as an operator, you're putting in alot of effort and not getting very much of a return at all, consider if the business is worth it? Does it need to pivot into a different industry? Does it need to be shut down and the equity redeployed elsewhere? These are the sorts of questions an investor needs to answer.

Investors have gone sour on clean energy. In a troubled time for stock markets in general, where is the capital for energy flowing now?Host Ed Crooks is joined by Shanu Mathew, Senior VP and Portfolio Manager at Lazard Asset Management, and Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of the Energy, Climate Justice, and Sustainability Lab at NYU. Shanu returns to the show to break down how institutional investors, under pressure to deliver returns, are shifting strategies on energy. Amy shares insights on cleantech venture capital trends, and the factors that support investment in low-carbon solutions. With support for renewables under threat, and cutting-edge technologies facing mounting challenges, is the transition to low-carbon energy slowing down or recalibrating? Meanwhile, Big Oil companies are changing course on their decarbonisation strategies and approaches to addressing climate change. BP and Shell are pulling back from power and renewables and emphasising oil and gas investments instead, after pressure from investors. Are they adapting to market realities, or are they abandoning clean energy too soon? And what will their strategic shift mean for the rest of the industry and for the climate? Amy discusses the close ties between oil prices and capital flows into cleantech.Finally, there's no end to the debate around AI's evolving role in energy infrastructure. Electricity demand growth remains a dominant trend. The hyperscale data centre users, such as major tech firms, have emerged as key players in power demand. But trust issues persist between them and energy providers. The sector has a history of overestimating demand growth, leading to overbuilding. Are we in danger of going through that cycle all over again?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
