Jeremy Keil explores 7 money moves you can consider before the new year to lower your taxes and keep more of your money in retirement. Every December, people scramble to finish holiday shopping, travel plans, and year-end tasks. But one of the most important deadlines — your December 31st tax deadline — often gets overlooked until it's too late. And once the calendar flips to January 1st, many of the smartest tax moves disappear. In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through seven year-end tax steps you should consider to make sure April brings fewer surprises and more savings. With new tax laws taking effect, the stock market sitting near all-time highs, and contribution limits shifting in the coming years, this is the perfect moment to take control of your finances. 1. Manage Your Tax Bracket Before the Year Ends Your income may fluctuate from year to year — especially in retirement. Some retirees have unusually high-income years due to bonuses, pension payouts, early retirement packages, stock vesting, or unexpected distributions. Others have abnormally low-income years. If you're experiencing a higher income year, now is the time to pull deductions forward. Charitable giving, donor-advised fund contributions, and other deductible expenses can help lower your taxable income. If you're in a lower income year, you might choose to accelerate income instead — such as doing a Roth conversion or taking extra withdrawals at a better tax rate. Year-end planning starts with projecting your tax return and understanding which direction to go. 2. Harvest Capital Losses — and Sometimes Gains Even in years when the market is high overall, you may still have individual positions sitting at a loss. Harvesting those losses can offset gains or reduce taxes now or in the future. On the flip side, some retirees find themselves in the 0% long-term capital gains bracket, which creates the perfect opportunity to harvest capital gains on purpose. When you're in a low tax bracket and gains cost nothing, you can reset your cost basis without additional tax. This is one of the most underused year-end strategies — especially when markets have been climbing. 3. Review Mutual Fund Capital Gain Distributions Many mutual funds issue their capital gain distributions in December. You may not receive the money in cash, but it still counts as taxable income. Look up the estimated year-end distributions from your fund companies and double-check your brokerage account. Mutual fund distributions have surprised many retirees — and they can lead to unnecessary underpayment penalties if tax withholding isn't adjusted in time. 4. Get Your Tax Withholding Correct Years ago, tax underpayment penalties weren't a big deal. But with high interest rates today, penalties now operate more like expensive interest charges for not paying taxes in the proper quarterly schedule. If you expect to owe money for 2025, you may want to adjust withholding from your paycheck, pension, Social Security, or IRA distributions. For retirees over 59½, using IRA withholding is one of the easiest ways to catch up — and it is treated as if it was paid evenly all year. To avoid penalties, don't wait until spring. Make corrections before December 31st. 5. Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) If you're age 70½ or older, QCDs allow you to donate directly from your traditional IRA to charity tax-free. This is often better than taking withdrawals and giving afterward — especially if you use the standard deduction. Even if you're not yet required to take RMDs, QCDs can reduce your future RMD burden and help you give in a more tax-efficient way. With 2025 bringing updated QCD limits and ongoing rule changes, it's smart to review your giving strategy now. 6. Make Annual Exclusion Gifts Before Year-End In 2025, the annual exclusion gift limit is $19,000 per person — and it remains the same for 2026. If you're planning to help your children or grandchildren, consider spreading the gifts across the end of this year and the beginning of next year to maximize tax-free amounts. For education planning, 529 plans also allow “superfunding,” letting you front-load up to five years' worth of gifts. Year-end is an ideal time to execute these strategies thoughtfully. 7. Rebalance Your Investments (Especially After a Big Market Year) When markets rise sharply, your portfolio may drift into a risk level you never intended. A portfolio that started at 60% stocks may now sit at 68% or higher. That's more risk than you signed up for — especially if you are nearing retirement. Rebalancing is a critical part of your year-end checklist. It brings your risk back in line, prepares your portfolio for the next year, and supports the long-term stability of your retirement plan. The Bottom Line Year-end planning isn't just about taxes — it's about taking control. Whether it's adjusting your income, harvesting gains or losses, fixing withholding, giving strategically, gifting to family, or rebalancing your investments, December is your opportunity to make meaningful changes before the window closes. Don't let the deadline sneak up on you. Start now so April feels predictable — not painful. Enjoying these episodes?

There is something incredibly liberating that happens when you realize your genes are not a life sentence. We have all been told that if a gene runs in your family, you're destined to live out the same story. Celiac. MTHFR. Hashimoto's. Breast cancer genes. We're taught to brace ourselves instead of learning how to influence the environment those genes live in. When the gut is overwhelmed, the immune system stays in a reactive state, and in that environment certain genes become more expressive than they would in a balanced body. And as the gut heals and the immune system steadies, those expressions often soften again.When we move through life in the energy of fearing our bodies, or resenting the parts of us that feel complicated or confusing, it creates a disconnect. Not just within us, but within our children. They feel it. They feel the way we brace around certain symptoms. They feel the heaviness we carry when we believe something is wrong with us, or wrong with them. Our energy teaches them what to believe about their own bodies, the world around them, and what is possible or impossible.If your child has a gene variant that society labels as undesirable, the most healing thing you can offer them is not fear. It's acceptance. It's steadiness. It's the belief that their body is not broken. Because when you hold that belief, they learn to hold it too.Your body is not something you need to fear. Your child's body is not something to fix. Every single part of you was designed on purpose. Every one of your gene variants is a page in your story. And when certain genes express, it is an invitation. It is your body communicating with you and bringing you back into alignment so you can show up in your life as the best version of you.. It is your body asking you to come closer, not pull away.When you view your body through this lens, everything shifts. You stop battling yourself. You stop bracing for what might happen. You begin partnering with your body instead of fearing it. And this is where your deepest power lives. In relationship. In understanding. In the environment you create on the inside.Your genes respond to you. They respond to the way you live, the way you nourish yourself, the way you support your gut and your nervous system, the way you speak to yourself, the way you choose to show up every day. And the more safety and nourishment you bring into your life, the more your genes settle into the expression that serves you.This is the freedom of gene expression. This is the empowerment that no lab report can ever take away from you. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Don and Tom saddle up for a tour through Schwab's “Good, Bad, and Ugly.” They applaud CEO Rick Wurster's warning about the growing overlap between gambling and investing, take a hard look at Schwab's retail-side conflicts and non-fiduciary sales practices, and then recoil at the truly ugly: Schwab's acquisition of Forge Global and its push to open private-company speculation to everyday investors. From there, they field listener questions about crypto's pointless search for a purpose, how to implement a disciplined 5 percent retirement withdrawal strategy, the ins and outs of tax-free Vanguard mutual-fund-to-ETF conversions, and whether a younger spouse should convert a large TSP balance to Roth.

Do you ever wonder why it feels like everyone else is healing faster than you or your child?Comparing timelines is something I see a lot of and it's something I have experienced myself. It can be really hard to be months into your journey and see someone else making remarkable progress in just two days! There's this quiet pressure most women carry, and no one really talks about it out loud. The pressure to grow faster. Heal faster. Figure things out faster. To not fall behind. To keep pace with whatever invisible timeline we think we're supposed to be on. And when healing is part of the story, that pressure multiplies. You start comparing your child's progress to someone else's. You compare how quickly someone else's skin cleared or how fast another woman felt “better” in her body. You start thinking your timeline means something about you. Or your motherhood. Or your effort. Or the choices you've made.Your timeline is not a measure of how well you're doing. Your timeline is a mirror of who you're becoming.Healing isn't just symptoms leaving the body. It's the nervous system learning safety again. It's the mind slowly moving out of survival mode. It's the body trusting itself enough to let go of things it's been holding for years, gosh, for most of us… our entire lives. And deep growth, the kind you actually feel in your bones, never happens on a schedule. It unfolds in the pace your life can hold. The pace your motherhood can hold. The pace your nervous system can hold.Thanks for listening!

It's easy to blame algorithms and AI for corroding our information ecosystem, but our guest this week argues that we have a just as much, if not more of a role to play in creating the environment we want to see. Ray Block Jr. is the Brown-McCourtney Career Development Professor at Penn State and the Michael D. Rich Chair in Countering Truth Decay and RAND Corporation. He joins us to discuss the new report, "Rebalancing the Information Ecosystem and Renewing Shared Societal Commitments for Information Use," published by RAND earlier this fall. Block's scholarly research includes community organizing and social identity. You'll hear that perspective come through in this conversation, which focuses on how social fabric — not fact checking or tech policy —is the key to creating a healthy information environment and, in turn, a healthy democracy.

Your portfolio might be due for an end-of-the-year cleanup. The Morningstar US Market Index is up about 15% through mid-November 2025, and overall performance has been strong for years (even after 2022's down market). That said, some stock sectors have performed significantly better than others, and performance can vary widely even within a sector. That could mean you'relikely holding some winners and some losers. Tax-loss harvesting could help trim your tax bill to save some money. While you're tuning up your portfolio, it could also be a good opportunity to bring your asset allocation back into balance.

Key Takeaways from This Week's DiscussionETFs vs. Mutual Funds — Tax Efficiency MattersMutual funds often create higher annual taxes in taxable accounts. ETFs and index funds are more tax-efficient because of how they handle capital gains—saving investors up to 1% a year. Keep mutual funds inside IRAs to avoid unnecessary taxes.Equal-Weighted vs. Cap-Weighted PortfoliosThe Invesco Equal Weighted S&P 500 (RSP) holds the same 500 companies as the standard index but gives each stock equal weight. This creates different exposure and more turnover, yet the ETF version reduces the tax drag—a key advantage for long-term investors.Small-Cap Value Funds — Choosing the Right FitVBR (Vanguard) performs best when large-cap growth leads, while AVUV and DFSV outperform when smaller value companies rise. The lesson: size and style matter in long-term returns.The Power of Rebalancing & “Shannon's Demon”Mentioned by Bill Yount from the Catching Up to FI podcast,  Shannon's Demon illustrates how periodic rebalancing can turn volatility into profit. By selling high and buying low, you can enhance long-term performance while keeping risk in check.Morningstar Ratings — Don't Chase the StarsStar ratings mostly reflect recent trends, not future potential. Focus instead on the underlying asset class and decades of evidence, not last year's winners.Small-Cap Value Slump — Patience Pays OffSmall-cap value has struggled this year, but historically it offers one of the best long-term premiums. Remember: asset class selection drives up to 99% of overall portfolio performance.Risk Parity Portfolios — Balancing Risk the Smart WayPaul compared traditional diversification to risk parity, which balances exposure across stocks, bonds, and commodities. He prefers government bonds over commodities since bonds generate income and often rise when stocks fall.Diversifying Within an Asset ClassInstead of going “all or nothing,” you can hold multiple ETFs—like AVUV and DFSV—for extra balance within a category. Just keep the lineup manageable for your brokerage or platform.Factor Investing — What Really Drives ReturnsThe strongest long-term drivers are size and value. Momentum and quality can help, but smaller, cheaper companies historically deliver the best rewards.Growth Funds & Ten-Year PerformanceTen-year snapshots can mislead. From 2000 to 2025, small-cap value funds far outperformed growth and the S&P 500, showing the value premium remains powerful across full market cycles.S&P 500 vs. Total Market — Nearly Identical Over TimeSince 1928, returns differ by only 0.1%. The S&P's recent edge comes mainly from a handful of mega-cap tech stocks, not fundamental differences in the indexes.Hiring an Advisor — When It's Worth ItA skilled fiduciary advisor can help manage emotions, discipline, and rebalancing. If you struggle to stay consistent, professional guidance may be worth far more than the fee.The DIY Investor Myth — Overcoming Human Biases“No one cares more about your money than you” sounds good, but behavioral biases—recency, overconfidence, and loss aversion—can derail results. Automation or a trusted advisor can protect you. For more insight, see Paul Hayes' free book Spending Your Way to Wealth, especially the appendix on 48 investor biases.Thank you again for your time, attention, and thoughtful participation. Despite the technical hiccups, your engagement made this an incredibly rewarding session!

Bill Bengen, the creator of the 4% rule, joins us to revisit one of the most important ideas in financial planning and retirement research. In this conversation, he explains the origins of the 4% rule, how his thinking has evolved over 30 years, and why he now believes retirees can safely withdraw closer to 4.7% — or even more — under certain conditions. We explore the data behind his findings, how to think about inflation, valuations, longevity, and sequence of returns risk, and the philosophy of living well in retirement.Topics covered:The origins and evolution of the 4% ruleHow Bill discovered the worst-case retirement scenario (1968)The role of inflation and market valuations in withdrawal ratesWhy he now recommends 65% equities instead of 55%How diversification increases sustainable withdrawalsThe logic behind a U-shaped equity glide pathSequence of returns risk and how to mitigate itThoughts on the permanent portfolio and goldBucket strategies and cash reservesDynamic vs. fixed withdrawal methodsHow longevity and FIRE affect planning horizonsWhy retirees should spend and enjoy moreThe philosophy behind “A Richer Retirement”Timestamps:00:00 The origins of the 4% rule03:00 The 1968 retirement “buzz saw” scenario07:00 Common misconceptions about the 4% rule10:00 Inflation and valuation adjustments13:00 Diversification and higher withdrawal rates15:00 Longevity, FIRE, and extended retirements16:00 The U-shaped equity glide path18:00 Rebalancing and allocation timing19:00 The permanent portfolio and gold20:00 Sequence of returns risk explained22:00 Cash reserves and bucket strategies23:00 Dynamic withdrawal approaches24:00 Why the rule is now closer to 4.7%27:00 The changing market environment29:00 Key charts and frameworks from the book31:00 The eight essential elements of planning33:00 Withdrawal strategies and asset allocation34:00 Required minimum distributions36:00 Reflections on creating the 4% rule38:00 Bill's philosophy on life and retirement40:00 Closing thoughts and where to find his book

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat tackle three critical financial planning decisions for high-net-worth investors. First, they break down whether it's better to self-insure for long-term care or rely on costly, often restrictive hybrid policies. Next, they explain how to rebalance an inherited portfolio, especially when legacy holdings no longer align with your goals or risk tolerance. Then, they dive into how to finance a vacation home wisely—weighing the risks of portfolio loans, capital gains exposure, and over-leveraging in retirement. You'll also hear a sharp analysis of gold's recent surge—and why emotional investing often backfires. Packed with real-life caller scenarios and expert financial guidance, this episode is a must for anyone focused on smart wealth management, legacy planning, and minimizing risk.

In this special Investing 101 episode, the Rational Reminder hosts—Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson—team up to revisit the fundamental concepts that every investor should understand before diving deep into portfolio construction or market theory. Drawing from Ben's original "Investing 101" presentation and years of client experience, the trio lay out why investing matters, how inflation shapes your future, what stocks and bonds really represent, and why a disciplined, evidence-based approach beats prediction and luck every time. They unpack core ideas like financial independence, risk versus volatility, global diversification, and market efficiency, then connect them to practical tools like ETFs and Vanguard's asset allocation funds. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:24) Why this episode revisits "Investing 101"—inspired by a listener still unsure how to begin. (0:05:03) Why investing matters: inflation erodes purchasing power, investing fights back. (0:06:33) The math of compounding: how a 7% return versus 2% changes your retirement entirely. (0:10:57) Saving early and often: habit formation beats late-life catch-up. (0:11:53) The trade-off between saving more and taking more investment risk. (0:14:04) Utility theory and the psychology of saving when young. (0:16:39) Marginal utility: when more money no longer adds happiness or purpose. (0:20:47) Stocks and bonds explained: ownership versus lending and the role of each. (0:23:11) The Japan story: a cautionary tale about chasing past winners. (0:26:49) Narrative investing: why investors love stories and get burned by them. (0:30:19) Market capitalization weighting—how global prices tell you what to own. (0:33:42) The stock market is not the economy: why news headlines mislead investors. (0:37:14) The power of diversification: why most individual stocks fail—and a few drive all returns. (0:41:56) Bonds, volatility, and inflation risk—why "safe" assets aren't risk-free. (0:44:41) Building your mix: matching volatility tolerance with long-term goals. (0:45:10) The behavioral challenge: risk is only useful if you can stay invested. (0:48:08) Active management as gambling: adding unrewarded noise to your portfolio. (0:51:43) The paradox of skill: why markets punish even brilliant active managers. (0:55:51) Efficient markets and Eugene Fama: the evidence that prices already reflect all information. (1:00:20) How small fees compound into big losses over decades. (1:03:07) The behavioral hurdle of indexing: trusting a system with "no one at the wheel." (1:04:54) The real value of financial advice: behavior, discipline, and holistic planning. (1:07:24) Implementing the plan: how asset allocation ETFs simplify everything. (1:11:41) Rebalancing and emotion: why automation protects investors from themselves. (1:14:24) Paying a bit more for simplicity: why 0.10% in fees can be worth it.

Viele Depots sind voller Aktien, Aktienfonds und ETFs, die nur noch wenig bringen. Hinzu kommen Nieten, an denen Anleger viel zu lange festhalten. Anleger sollten regelmäßig aufräumen: „Es ist auch ein psychologisches Phänomen, dass wir uns mit unseren Nieten nicht so gerne beschäftigen wollen. Und wir möchten sie auch nicht so gerne verkaufen, weil wir uns ja dann eingestehen würden, dass es ein Verlustgeschäft ist. Clever ist es nicht! Zudem nicht nur nach der Kursentwicklung schauen, sondern würde ich die Aktie z.B. auch zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt wieder kaufen. Wie könnte das Unternehmen in Zukunft dastehen und was traue ich der Aktie“, so Buchautorin und Finanzjournalistin Jessica Schwarzer. Alle Details - auch wie ein Rebalancing funktioniert - verrät die Expertin im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de

Das neue Kinderdepot von Scalable Capital ist live – und Tobias Kramer spricht mit Christian W. Röhl (Chief Economist Scalable Capital) über smarte Vermögensbildung für Kinder und natürlich auch Erwachsene: Von NV-Bescheinigung und Freibeträgen bis zu ETF-Strategien mit MSCI ACWI, MSCI World ex USA, Emerging Markets und Small Caps. Dazu: das Scalable-Feature „Taschengeld“ (ETF-Gebühren-Rückerstattung & Reinvest), Scalable Wealth fürs automatische Rebalancing und die Frage, wie man das Depot wirklich einfach, breit und kostengünstig aufsetzt, egal in welchem Alter. Anhand eines Beispielplans (Kindergeld, Startgeschenk, 8 % p. a.) diskutieren die beiden, wie schnell aus vielen kleinen Beträgen sehr viel Geld werden kann – und was rechtlich wichtig ist (das Geld gehört dem Kind). Außerdem: Update zu SoftBank und der Stop-Taktik von Tobias. Inhalte & Highlights - Kinderdepot: Einrichtung, Besonderheiten bis 18, rechtliche Punkte (Eigentum, verdeckte Schenkung vermeiden). - Steuern optimieren: NV-Bescheinigung, Sparer-Pauschbetrag, Sonderausgabenpauschale – Freibeträge richtig nutzen (auch per Rebalancing). - Kosten drücken: 200 Xtrackers & iShares ETFs ohne Gebühren + „Taschengeld“ (gebührenfrei besparen & quartalsweise Reinvest). - Portfolio-Rezepte: Basis: MSCI All Country World (ACWI) als One-Click-Lösung. 2-ETF-Mix („Zwei Nasen tanken super“): ACWI + MSCI World ex USA zur Reduktion des US-Gewichts. Feinjustierung: Emerging Markets (Asien) & MSCI World Small Cap als Satelliten. Scalable Wealth fürs Kind: automatisches Rebalancing, einfache Umsetzung, keine Zusatzkosten bis 18. - Praxis: Sparraten (z. B. Kindergeld), Rebalancing-Zeitpunkte, Entsparen & FIFO, warum einfach > kompliziert ist. - Bonus: SoftBank-Case – warum Tobias Teilgewinne systematisch sichert. © adorum publishing GmbH 2025

This week on "Investing Simplified," Matt Sudol and Matt Mai examined the recent market rebound following earlier volatility, drawing parallels to previous downturns and emphasizing how quickly markets can recover. They discussed the importance of keeping your financial “buckets”—growth, emergency, and protection—balanced, and explained how every investor's situation is unique, whether accumulating wealth, approaching retirement, or actively drawing income. The duo highlighted the need for ongoing portfolio review and rebalancing to manage risk, especially given high market valuations, and encouraged listeners to schedule complimentary consultations to discuss their individual financial roadmap.Additionally, the show covered significant updates from the newly signed tax bill, effective for 2025, which brings changes such as expanded deductions for seniors, an increased SALT cap, and boosts to child tax credits. Matt and Matt stressed the importance of proactive tax planning in light of these changes and reminded listeners about the value of thorough estate planning—including trusts and privacy provisions—to protect family assets.Navigating the world of finance can be overwhelming, especially when biased advice and outdated strategies cloud the path to financial success.

Sometimes, your investment portfolio needs a course correction to stay safe and on track with your personal allocation strategy. We tackle the essential, yet often ignored, financial tune-up known as rebalancing. Learn exactly what rebalancing is, why this simple process is about managing risk (not chasing returns), and the practical steps to implement it, including smart tax strategies for your 401(k) and brokerage accounts. Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/131-what-is-rebalancing-and-should-i-be-doing-it/

Die Wall Street schmilzt weiter nach oben. Goldman Sachs betont, dass man sich über eine Reihe weiterer Rekorde im Oktober/November nicht wundern würde. Der Oktober gelte an der Wall Street oft als „Bären-Killer“, mit einer starken Performance, insbesondere nach Prozess des Rebalancing zum Quartalsbeginn. Man sehen zudem, dass der positive Vermögenseffekt durch steigende Aktienkurse, die Belastung durch schwächere Immobilienpreise neutralisiert. Das Konsumwachstum dürfte im laufenden Quartal allein dadurch um 30 Basispunkte angefacht werden. Was den Regierungs-Shutdown betrifft, bleibt die Wall Street entspannt. Die Rating-Agentur Fitch betont, dass die Bonität der USA dadurch zunächst nicht belastet wird. Im Fokus stehen außerdem die US-Hersteller von eAutos. Rivian konnte im dritten Quartal 13.201 Autos ausliefern. Wie dem auch sei, werden die Aussichten für das Fiskaljahr gesenkt. Der Mittelwert wird um 50.000 Fahrzeuge auf 42.500 Autos reduziert. Tesla wird heute ebenfalls Auslieferungen melden. Die Wall Street rechnet für das dritte Quartal mit etwa 440.000 Auslieferungen.

Don goes solo this week and covers the wild state of “investing” in 2025 — including single-stock ETFs, leveraged funds, and zero-day options that look more like gambling than investing. He answers listener questions about Roth strategies for kids, aggressive long-term allocations, finding fiduciary advisors, dealing with inherited stock portfolios, and the ethics and fees of big Wall Street firms. Plus, he fields questions about new tax-focused ETFs and whether complicated multi-fund factor strategies are really worth the trouble. 0:04 Don jokes about ChatGPT replacing him, welcomes listeners 1:53 Today's topic: 30% of new ETFs are tied to single stocks — “this is gambling” 4:27 Zero-day options and high-frequency trading likened to sports betting 5:23 Congressman Ro Khanna's 2,800 trades this year — four per market day 6:12 Don's call to stop pretending this is investing 8:16 Caller Mike: 3 kids with $100k+ Roths each — aggressive allocation recommendations (AVUV, AVGE, DFAW, 100% equity) 12:24 International weighting debate — Don likes 60/40 global tilt 15:34 Caller Dan from Israel: How to confirm if an advisor is a fiduciary; why inheriting stocks isn't a reason to keep them 18:08 Transitioning from stocks to ETFs while minimizing capital gains 22:23 Caller Laura: Ethical concerns with J.P.

Don and Tom break down the overhyped expectations around recent market returns, referencing Jason Zweig's analysis of 230 years of stock market data. They emphasize that spending and saving habits matter more than chasing 15% returns, and explain why realistic planning using a 3–6% real return assumption over 30-year rolling periods is more prudent.

In Episode 436 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with economist, policy adviser, and investor Sony Kapoor about why developed world demographics, debt, and political sclerosis will crush forward returns for investors who fail to rebalance their portfolios for the new investment paradigm. Kapoor and Kofinas spend the first hour of their conversation unpacking the thesis explored by Sony in two of his papers: “Winter Is Coming” and “The Case for a Great Rebalancing” in which he argues that global capital has been increasingly misallocated due to factors such as the growth of passive indexation, maladaptive benchmarking, and an excessive focus on short-term performance at the expense of long-term returns. They explore how demographic tailwinds in advanced economies have flipped into headwinds; whether AI driven productivity gains can realistically offset the drag of declining birth rates; why accommodative post GFC monetary and fiscal policies undermined political stability in developed countries; and what recent stresses—including dollar weakness, Treasury market liquidity scares, and an increased reliance on short-term debt financing—suggest about looming financial repression, fiscal dominance, and a rotation out of U.S. capital markets. The second hour is devoted to a conversation about investor incentives, market structure, investment opportunities in emerging markets, and how to construct a more diversified portfolio suitable for the world that is coming into being. Demetri and Sony discuss why political and currency risks may now be lower for a diversified emerging markets basket than for a similarly diversified portfolio of developed market assets. They discuss what a reweighting toward emerging markets could look like; why India stands out given its digital public rails and domestic-demand engine; how places like Indonesia, Brazil, and Nigeria fit into a rebalancing; and how to think about geopolitics, US policy risk, and portfolio construction in this new paradigm.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Karin Bursa welcome Bobby Holland of U.S. Bank and Bob Costello of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) for a timely and data-rich discussion on the Q2 2025 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index—and what the latest shifts in the freight economy mean for shippers, carriers, and supply chain leaders.They discuss the first quarter in over two years where all five U.S. regions saw increases in shipment volume, signaling a potential turning point after a prolonged slowdown. Bobby shares fresh Index data on spend and shipment velocity, while Bob brings broader economic context, including consumer spending patterns, inflationary pressure, and the uneven pace of recovery. From driver shortages and regional capacity gaps to policy impacts and shifting inventory strategies, the panel examines how these macroeconomic forces are playing out in freight and what they could mean for the rest of 2025, offering insights for supply chain professionals preparing for continued volatility, opportunities in cross-border trade, and early signs of renewed activity.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(00:51) Overview of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index(06:15) National freight trends and insights(22:26) Midwest region analysis(25:59) Rebalancing supply chains(26:57) Consumer spending trends(27:33) Goods vs. services spending(29:30) Northeast region insights(36:31) Southeast region insights(44:56) Future of freight marketsResources:Download the full Q2 2025 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: bit.ly/scn-us-bankRegister for the ATA Management Conference on October 2025 in San Diego: https://www.trucking.org/news-insights/registration-now-open-ata-management-conference-exhibition-0 Learn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com Learn more about the American Trucking Associations (ATA): https://www.trucking.org Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/ Connect with Bob Costello: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-costello-444bb670/ Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Real healing asks something of you. It's not a product you take. It's a path you walk. And the first step is choosing to actually begin.We have to talk about something that might sting a little.Because I can't tell you how many times I've heard, “I've tried everything.” And I get it. I've said that, too. But if we're being radically honest? Trying everything is often just trying a lot of things halfway. Jumping from one quick fix to another, hoping something sticks. Hoping something works without having to fully commit.That's not healing. That's surviving. That's symptom management. And if you're here for that, I'll tell you now - this isn't the podcast for you.But if you're here because you are done living in cycles of survival... If you're here because you're ready to break generational patterns, to claim a new way of being - for yourself, for your children - then this is the place for you.Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Kathy Jones and Liz Ann Sonders dive into the latest economic data and its implications for the Federal Reserve's policy decisions. They analyze the recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and assess the risk of latent stagflation. They also examine the Fed's dilemma in considering a September interest rate cut, a possible 50-basis-point reduction, and ongoing labor market and inflation pressures. Kathy and Liz Ann stress the importance of looking beyond headline figures to understand revisions and underlying economic trends. They also address recent changes at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and their potential impact on the reliability of economic data. Finally, Kathy and Liz Ann discuss the data and economic indicators they will be watching in the coming week.On Investing is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

In this episode we answer two emails from John and one from Pete.  We revel in John's summary of the podcast from its humble beginnings to its current form, his sailboat analogy to portfolio construction and his highly humorous questions.  We also discuss two common but conflicting investor biases: rejecting assets because they've performed poorly recently or because they've performed too well recently and discuss rebalancing rules for leveraged funds and the newer managed futures fund CTA.Links:Listener Blog Post Describing Risk Parity Concepts:  15 Uncorrelated Assets | SSiSJohn's Testfolio Rebalancing Analyses:  testfol.io/?s=k6HKskV4lsyTestfolio CTA Analysis:  testfol.io/analysis?s=9WzkwrOUa0hBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:The evolution of Risk Parity Radio takes center stage as we dive into a fascinating listener journey through 445 episodes of financial wisdom and soundbite mayhem. From our humble COVID-project beginnings to developing signature elements like standardized soundbites, cowbell references, and charitable partnerships, this episode offers a rare look at how the podcast has grown alongside its community.A brilliant sailing analogy perfectly captures the essence of risk parity investing: just as skilled sailors can make forward progress in various wind conditions by using the right sails, diversified portfolios can navigate different economic environments by including assets that perform well under specific conditions. This metaphor elegantly explains why we emphasize creating all-weather portfolios rather than attempting to predict market movements.Gold's dramatic turnaround provides a perfect case study in investment humility. In late 2022, some listeners questioned including gold, calling it a "waste of space" that wasn't fulfilling its purpose. Fast forward to 2025, and gold delivered an impressive 28% compound annual growth rate. This example highlights a common cognitive trap: rejecting unfamiliar assets either because they've performed poorly recently ("must be done forever") or because they've performed too well ("must be too high to invest in now").We also explore technical questions about rebalancing strategies for portfolios containing leveraged ETFs and observations about managed futures funds, demonstrating how complex portfolio management requires thoughtful consideration beyond simple formulas.Whether you're a longtime listener appreciating the walk down memory lane or a newcomer curious about our approach to investing, this episode delivers valuable insights about portfolio construction while maintaining our characteristic blend of education and entertainment.

In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, hosts Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench welcome Frank Vasquez back on to challenge everything you thought you knew about safe withdrawal rates. Frank reveals how a properly constructed risk parity portfolio can support a 5% withdrawal rate—meaning you could comfortably pull $125,000 annually from a $2.5 million portfolio without the traditional fear of running out of money. This isn't theoretical; it's a practical strategy that sophisticated investors have been using for decades. Frank takes listeners step-by-step through building this portfolio on Fidelity, demonstrating real-world implementation rather than just concepts. You'll discover how mathematical principles like the Fibonacci sequence can guide your allocation decisions, why traditional diversification falls short, and how to rebalance effectively without overthinking the process. Most importantly, Frank shows how to customize this approach to your specific situation, making risk parity accessible whether you're approaching FIRE or already financially independent. This Episode Covers: Risk parity fundamentals - Understanding true diversification beyond stocks and bonds Asset class breakdown - Specific investments across equities, bonds, commodities, and alternatives Rebalancing strategies - When and how to adjust your portfolio without constant tinkering Withdrawal techniques - Practical methods for taking income from multiple asset classes And SO much more!

Katy Kaminski returns to examine a moment in trend following that feels familiar... but isn't. Drawing on new research, she and Niels explore how drawdowns resolve, why recovery is faster when markets break, and slower when they don't, and what that asymmetry reveals about the current cycle. They unpack copper's historic 1-day move, the role of China in CTA return dispersion, and what slower, replication-based strategies might be capturing that others aren't.
