Send us a textIs Abdul Carter destined to become the next superstar for the New York Giants? In this segment from 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob break down why the hype is growing around the Giants' No. 3 overall pick. From Joe Schoen's recent comments on the Up & Adams podcast to a bold prediction by former NFL star Shawne Merriman on Good Morning Football, the buzz around Abdul Carter is impossible to ignore. Merriman even declared, “I believe Abdul Carter is going to be the Defensive Rookie of the Year,” citing Carter's explosiveness and instinctive playmaking.Schoen gave fans a deeper look into Carter's work ethic, leadership, and fit in Shane Bowen's evolving defense. Carter has been the first to arrive at workouts, showing the same relentless drive that got him drafted so high. Schoen also gave insight into how the Giants plan to utilize Carter alongside Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux to create a dominant, versatile front.But that's not all—Dru Phillips praised cornerback Deonte Banks' offseason growth, noting that fans are going to see “a different Tae” in 2025. There's also movement on the offensive side, with wide receiver Gabe Davis visiting the Giants. As Jordan Raanan hinted, there's real momentum for a reunion with Daboll and Schoen, who know Davis well from their days in Buffalo.This segment also covers Schoen's vision for the upcoming season, his thoughts on the tough early schedule featuring divisional matchups, and the mindset inside the locker room. He didn't hold back about his excitement for second-year players like Tyler Nubin and Phillips, new veterans like Jevon Holland and Paulson Adebo, and how the mix of youth and leadership can elevate the Giants' defense.We also touch on the team's future at quarterback with Jaxson Dart. Schoen spoke about the collaborative process that led to drafting Dart, his fire and passion, and how his competitiveness and toughness can help unify the entire roster, not just the offense.If you're looking for the latest ny giants news and updates, the inside scoop on Abdul Carter's potential, and how the Giants are building for 2025 and beyond, this is the giants channel to be watching.

Send us a textHow does Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem defy our expectations of power and royalty? Jesus entered the city not on a war horse but humbly, riding on a donkey. What does this say about the kind of kingdom He is bringing?In this moment, the crowds declared Jesus their king, but were they ready to accept the kind of king He truly was? What does it look like to lay down our own kingdoms, our desires, and our expectations to make room for His reign?Jesus' humble entry challenges us to surrender all—our ambitions, our brokenness, and even our false ideas of who He is. Will we open the doors of our hearts to the King who offers grace, forgiveness, and transformation?HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

Don and Tom dive into how to properly build a diversified portfolio, using a listener question about Paul Merriman's “Four Fund Portfolio” as a launch point. They explore the essentials of asset allocation, including U.S. vs. international exposure, large vs. small cap, and value vs. growth, while comparing Merriman's approach to models from DFA and Avantis. Along the way, they bust myths around Social Security, early retirement, and the tax implications of tweaking existing portfolios. As always, a few detours into Mayberry and Chick-fil-A make the ride more entertaining. 0:04 Listener questions fuel today's deep dive into proper portfolio design 0:50 The basic building blocks: stocks and bonds, plus deeper diversification 1:57 Financial literacy fail: is a stock or a mutual fund safer? 2:43 Listener question: what about Paul Merriman's “Four Fund Portfolio”? 4:01 U.S. large vs. small, value vs. blend—and why emerging markets matter 6:50 Paul's long-term results: 12.1% annualized since 1970 with higher volatility 8:07 Comparing allocations: DFAW, AVGE, and how Apella does it 9:13 Which funds to use for large cap value, small cap value, and more 11:38 Rebalancing: the hard part most investors ignore 13:10 Summary: yes, Merriman's model works—and it's easier than you think 14:13 Retired at 34 with $30M—why early retirees still face emotional challenges 16:15 Social Security and early retirement: COLAs vs. your top 35 earning years 18:10 Listener with $500K in STAR fund: worth selling and buying AVGE? 19:36 Actively managed STAR fund isn't horrible, but there are better options 21:04 Can I use my Roth IRA for future family needs?

In this episode we answer emails from Harry, Sally, Jack and Javon.

In this deeply empathetic episode, Frank Vasquez responds to a listener who's lost nearly everything through leveraged investments caught in market turmoil. His compassionate yet practical response offers a roadmap back from financial devastation, emphasizing that starting from net worth zero with income potential creates a foundation many successful investors have built upon.The conversation shifts to examining the psychology behind financial social media, where Frank taxonomizes poster behaviors into revealing categories. From genuine question-askers to Dunning-Kruger sufferers repeating harmful advice from financial media marketing materials disguised as guidance, this analysis helps listeners navigate confusing information landscapes. His take on affirmation-seekers posting humble brags or seeking validation for poor decisions provides particular insight into why certain destructive financial ideas persist online.With inflation concerns mounting due to potential tariffs and immigration restrictions, Frank offers practical portfolio protection strategies beyond traditional TIPS, which merely help investors tread water rather than outperform during inflationary periods. His breakdown of managed futures, commodities, value-tilted stocks in hard assets, and property/casualty insurance companies provides actionable alternatives. The discussion culminates in comparing investment theorist Paul Merriman's value-tilted ETF recommendations with Frank's diversification approach using Shannon's Demon principles, demonstrating how different philosophical frameworks can lead to successful long-term investing.What distinguishes this episode is Frank's ability to balance technical expertise with emotional intelligence, offering not just investment strategies but wisdom about resilience and perspective during financial hardship. Whether you're recovering from losses or preparing for economic uncertainty, this episode delivers both tactical guidance and reassuring wisdom from someone who's weathered financial storms himself.Have questions?

In the left corner, we have Paul Merriman, the seasoned finance veteran weighing in at 183 pounds. In the right corner, Dr. Karsten Jeske, the scrappy newcomer at 208 pounds. The bell rings, and the small cap value debate begins.This episode features a financial boxing match between two investment heavyweights with dramatically different perspectives. Paul Merriman champions diversification through the efficient frontier, which means adding small cap value to your portfolio. Dr. Karsten Jeska has “thrown cold water” on this approach, favoring simpler strategies like “VTSAX and chill.”The stakes are high — we're talking potentially millions of dollars in your retirement account over decades.Merriman argues that history shows clear evidence for small cap value's premium. From 2000 to 2009, small cap value outperformed the S&P 500 in all but one year, compounding at 10 percent while the S&P 500 returned negative 1 percent. He believes this pattern will continue, creating a powerful diversification effect when combined with broader market indexes.Jeske counters that small cap value's outperformance is mostly “front-loaded” in history, happening before anyone knew about it. Since 2006, small cap value has underperformed. He argues that once an advantage becomes widely known, it disappears in an efficient market. Adding small cap value might even be “di-worsification” — increasing complexity without improving returns.The debate expands beyond small cap value to touch on:Active vs. passive investing strategiesMarket timing vs. buy-and-hold approachesSimplicity vs. complexity in portfolio constructionThe role of faith vs. evidence in investment decisionsWhile both experts disagree about small cap value's future, they agree on fundamentals: invest early, stay invested for the long term, and understand that no one can predict markets with certainty.What starts as a technical debate evolves into a philosophical discussion about evidence, probability, and the limits of our knowledge — all with millions of retirement dollars hanging in the balance.Timestamps:Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising run times.

The following are Dr. Pass' note to his podcast: "This week to conclude 2024 we speak with noted investment expert Mr. Paul Merriman to discuss a few topics related to personal finance and investing. First we tackle the notion of having 'enough' to retire. Is there a magic value and how would one think about this? Why is an S&P 500 Index or Total US Stock Market Index a fine 'core' investment and how might one possibly improve upon its performance? What are some of the psychological hurdles we have as investors and potential retirees? Mr. Merriman reviews these and other topics on our end of year episode.” Paul Merriman's Website Paul's "Quilt" Chart Paul's "Bootcamp" page Last Year's episode of Pediheart was replayed on Mr. Merriman's site Paul's book "We're Talking Millions"

Selecting a distribution strategy: What advice can you give to a DIY investor who is trying to decide what to do about how they access their money to live on and how much to take out? Buy and Hold vs. market timing: I believe in buy and holding index funds, with low expenses. I don't think I need to pay an investment advisor to help me do that. I see the Merriman Wealth Management firm offers buy and hold and market timing services and charges AUM fees. This is very different from what you suggest on your Foundation website. What is your relationship with the Merriman firm and what are your beliefs about market timing? All small cap value portfolio: Do you know investors who are investing 100% of their portfolios in small cap value? It seems like it might be a smart thing to do with very long term investments for a very young person. Time to start market timing: I am thinking about using timing with a large amount of new money. Who do you use for the market timing aspect of your portfolio management? Flexible vs. fixed distribution strategies: "I believe you expect that a flexible withdrawal strategy will pay out more money to live on, as well as leave more money to heirs. Bill Bengen seems to believe that this strategy is not sustainable over the long term even if a person had enough money to accept lower annual withdrawal amounts in market draw downs. Flexible withdrawal strategies make sense to me but there isn't much writt en about them. What am I missing?” The answer to this question includes 4 distribution tables: Table D1.4 - Fixed Distributions: S&P 500 Equity Portfolio - Conservative ($40,000/yr) Table F1.4 - Flexible Distributions (Conservative-4.0%/yr): S&P 500 Equity Portfolio Table D4.4 - Fixed Distributions (Conservative-$40,000/yr): US 4-Fund Equity Portfolio Table F4.4 - Flexible Distributions (Conservative-4.0%/yr): US 4-Fund Equity Portfolio Finally Paul reads four Ben Carlson quotes about the nature of bull and bear markets. Paul makes reference to a table of annual Price to Earning (P/E)ratios starting in 1871 and another comparing the S&P 500 Price to Book Value from 2000 to 2024.
