Este capítulo cuenta con la colaboración de ford.es.La semana pasada pasará a la historia -técnicamente hablando, eso sí- por ser aquella en la que, por fin, los cinco grandes índices en Wall Street lograron entrar en subida libre absoluta, la situación más alcista que existe. El Russell 2000 se sumó al Nasdaq 100, el Nasdaq compuesto, el S&P 500 y al Dow Jones industrial, al romper los techos de 2021 y 2024 y completó un repóquer de ases que hacía años que no se veía"El mercado ha confirmado que es alcista de arriba a abajo, sin duda, y que está en modo cohete", asegura Joan Cabrero, analista técnico y estratega de elEconomista.es en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de mercado. Sin embargo, expone el experto que no es momento de tomar posiciones en el mercado, ni de incrementarlas, como podría llamar a hacer el comportamiento de las bolsas estadounidenses."Llevamos semanas recomendando estar con mucha liquidez. Concretamente recomiendo tener un 60% de liquidez, porque esa es la munición que nos servirá a la postre cuando haya un susto de mercado, que lo habrá y mientras tanto seguir beneficiándonos del buen tono de mercado".¿Qué esperar del mercado y dónde comprar?La dinámica en la que han entrado las bolsas en las últimas semanas hace pensar que antes o después habrá un recorte. El Ibex ya nos ha enseñado ese camino en los últimos meses. "Desde la subida que nació en octubre de 2022, el selectivo ha registrado cinco correcciones de entre el 8 y el 10% desde el último pico. ¿Qué buscamos ahora? La sexta", comenta el analista, que recuerda que si eso ocurre desde niveles actuales, sería volver a los mínimos de junio, a la zona de 14.000-13.740."Yo entiendo que cuando haya esa resaca, ese susto de mercado, que lo habrá, será una oportunidad. Sobre todo porque ya tenemos un repoquer. Es decir, sabemos que la tendencia es alcista y que es diferente operar que analizar, por lo que en la caída compraré, sin dudar", expresa el experto que recuerda que tiene un ojo puesto en la cartera de empresas disruptivas que maneja en las últimas semanas."Viendo que el Russell rompe resistencias, voy a invertir con más fuerza ahí y seguiré mi lista de deseos de compañías sólidas y fuertes para sembrar después de la resaca", indica el experto que recuerda en su comentario estratégico semanal que la situación evoca lo ocurrido con los semiconductores en abril."Entonces, cuando sufrieron una severa caída y parecía que se acababa el mundo, recomendé comprarlos. No vi debilidad, vi una grandiosa oportunidad de sembrar en fortaleza. El tiempo me ha dado la razón: basta ver ahora su evolución", señala. Ese es el mismo guion que quiere aplicar ahora Cabrero con las compañías que tiene en el radar, que son valores que "han demostrado liderazgo, que hoy vuelan demasiado alto, pero que en cuanto consoliden abrirán la puerta para entrar en tierra fértil".
It goes without saying there are always things evolving or changing in the whitetail world. Early season may be the biggest change though. From testosterone changes, to territory changes, to food sources and then to minor pressure movements and often time drought conditions. These variables can be placed into two categories, Macro and micro variables. The Macro variables are the variables that all whitetails are having to consider or are being influenced by, these changes are more physiological than environmental like the micro variables. These variables alter, influence, and predict how deer will then move on the landscape. Therefore they impact hunt strategy greatly! These changes cannot always be predicted months in advance when you set your farm up for the season, so you must be willing to pivot and adjust or call an audible to your plan when it is necessary. Oftentimes, the best laid plans need to have audibles thrown into the mix to accommodate for these macro and micro variables that hunters and landowners do not have control over! This week we break these all down so you can become a better woodsman.
This week on Own It we're talking to Courtney Lewis from The Variable. She just stepped into the role of partner and CEO there two months ago after being on the strategy and leadership team for several years. Courtney didn't land at The Variable from the agency world. She was in business and management consulting before and brought that experience and knowledge to the firm. We talked about everything from her journey to agency life and ownership, to her perspective on the gender gap in agency ownership, and even biscuits and baking. We had so much fun getting to know one another. You're going to enjoy this a lot.

Este capítulo cuenta con la colaboración de ford.es.La política monetaria sigue marcando el rumbo de los mercado y, ahora sí, todas las miradas están puestas en la Reserva Federal y su reunión de esta semana (los próximos 16 y 17 de septiembre), en la que se espera que reduzca el precio del dinero. Sobre todo tras ratificarse la semana pasada la esperada decisión del BCE de mantener los tipos de interés intactos en Europa y tras conocerse los datos de inflación de EEUU -en línea con las previsiones de los economistas- y las solicitudes semanales de subsidio por desempleo, que alcanzaron su nivel más alto en casi cuatro años.En este contexto, el Ibex 35 afronta esta semana decisiva a solo un 5% del objetivo que encuentra en los máximos de 2007 (máximos históricos, sin efecto dividendos descontado), que se encuentran en los 16.000 enteros. "Ese es el objetivo fácil que el mercado tiene entre ceja y ceja", asegura Joan Cabrero, en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de Mercado."Sin embargo", expone el analista técnico y estratega de elEconomista.es, "hasta ahí tenemos un 5% de subida, pero imaginen que esta calma chicha al final acaba en tormenta y tenemos una corrección, una caída abrupta del mercado. Nos tenemos que preguntar, bueno, ¿yo voy a comprar aquí para ir a ganar un 5% y con el riesgo de que el Ibex pueda caer hasta 13.750-14.000 puntos?".Y es que, una caída hasta las cotas que expone el experto significaría que el selectivo español protagonizara una caída de un 10% y describiendo una tendencia de fondo igual de alcista que la que mantiene en la actualidad.Por tanto, el plan operativo u hoja de ruta pasa inevitablemente por esperar a que el mercado español se aleje de su último pico que estableció hace un par de semanas en los 15.440 puntos hasta los 13.700-14.000 puntos. "Ahí es donde yo sugiero esperar para comprar, porque si el Ibex 35 cae un 10% desde su último máximo, sería la sexta corrección que habría desarrollado ese calibre desde los mínimos de octubre 2022, que es cuando nació la tendencia madre, la actual, la de los últimos años, en octubre de 2022", explica el experto que recuerda que "en el techo no se compra, se compra en la base y la base está incluso por debajo de los 13.700".Por tanto, toca tener paciencia para comprar cuando caiga y se produzca esa sexta corrección que habría desarrollado el Ibex 35.Para aquellos inversores un poco más internacionales que estén buscando invertir fuera de las fronteras españolas hay que recordar la evolución del EuroStoxx 50, que a pesar de la percepción que puede cundir en el mercado de que la bolsa no para de subir, lleva cuatro meses enmarcado dentro de un canal lateral que acota su evolución."Operativamente, sin un ajuste más amplio del rally que nació en abril, no hay compra que recomendar. Y cuidado: si llega una corrección al otro lado del Atlántico, aquí no habrá refugio posible. Los niveles que espero para volver a aconsejar compras en bolsa europea se encuentran en la zona de los 4.900-5.000 puntos. Esa caída supondría un retroceso del 10% desde los últimos máximos y el encuentro con la directriz alcista que guía los ascensos desde 2020. Solo ahí, cuando el ruido se convierta en oportunidad, volverá a merecer la pena sembrar", sentencia el experto.

You track your steps. Maybe even your calories. But do you know what it really costs to live each month?Your personal cost of living is one of the most important numbers in your financial life. Without it, you may be spending in ways that don't reflect your values—or your faith. Let's explore why this number matters, how to calculate it, and how it ties into faithful stewardship.The Basics of StewardshipNo matter your income level or stage of life, the same principles apply. There are five things you can do with money:Earn itLive on itGive it awayOwe it to othersGrow it through saving and investingToday, we're focusing on “living on it”—what it really takes to cover your day-to-day needs. And remember: it's not just rent and groceries. A true cost of living includes less frequent expenses too—insurance premiums, car repairs, or even Christmas gifts.Why Tracking MattersInflation may be slowing, but most of us are still paying more than before. The government reports a national “cost of living,” but that number doesn't reflect your personal circumstances. That's why tracking your own cost of living is crucial—it provides clarity, and clarity is the foundation of stewardship.A practical tool for this is the FaithFi app, which helps you track your income, giving, saving, and spending—all in one place. Here's where to start:1. Begin with GivingFor believers, giving isn't just another line item. It's the first priority—an act of worship and trust in God's provision.2. Add Savings GoalsWhether building an emergency fund, saving for retirement, or preparing for a large expense, set targets you can track monthly.3. List Your ExpensesExpenses fall into three categories:Fixed: Rent, mortgage, insurance, subscriptions.Variable: Groceries, gas, utilities.Irregular: Property taxes, holiday gifts, car repairs. Spread these out by assigning a monthly average.When you add it all up, you'll have a clear picture of your total monthly needs—your true cost of living.If your expenses exceed your income, don't panic. The process reveals problem areas so you can adjust—cutting back on non-essentials, reevaluating fixed costs, or pausing discretionary spending. Stewardship isn't about guilt—it's about faithfulness.Proverbs 27:23–24 says, “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever.” In modern terms: know your financial condition and manage it wisely.Living With Clarity and FaithTracking your cost of living isn't just a budgeting exercise. It's about living intentionally, aligning every dollar with God's purposes. Needs will shift, life will happen, but clarity allows you to walk with confidence, generosity, and purpose.That's why I encourage you to download the FaithFi app today. With FaithFi Pro, you'll gain access to tools, articles, Bible studies, and daily encouragement to help you manage money with wisdom. Find it at FaithFi.com or in your app store.So, do you know your personal cost of living? If not, there's no better time to find out.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 67 and single. Should I start taking Social Security now, or wait until age 70 for the larger benefit? I'm also worried about whether Social Security will even be around in the future. On top of that, I worked many years for a nonprofit that provided housing, so my reported income was low. Now I'm earning more—will that help increase my Social Security amount?I'm retired and already drawing Social Security, but I also have earned income from pastoring two rural churches. With that income, am I allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA or another type of retirement account?My husband and I don't have much debt besides our mortgage and a 0% interest loan we used for a heat pump. Should we pay off the heat pump early, add more to our emergency fund, or focus on paying down the mortgage?My online savings account was compromised, and someone tried to transfer money out. What steps can I take to protect myself when using online accounts?

Variable frequency drives, or VFDs, have long offered the opportunity to boost the energy efficiency of rotating equipment such as pumps and fans.

TWC Podcast #64 Slot Machines Don't Train Dogs!What if everything you've been told about variable reinforcement is only half the story?Dog trainers and psychologists love to say, “Switch to variable reinforcement, it's like a slot machine, that's how behaviors stick.” But here's the truth: that analogy is flawed, incomplete, and in training, often misleading.In this episode, Ivan Balabanov breaks down:-Why the slot machine comparison fails in dog training.-When is Continuous Reinforcement actually more powerful?-How to use extinction bursts as a tool to sharpen behaviors.-Why barking, whining, and nipping aren't “disobedience” but feedback.-The difference between keeping behaviors alive vs. making them bulletproof.Dogs aren't pigeons in Skinner boxes. They aren't gamblers at slot machines. Real training is about clarity, joy, precision, and connection — not random paychecks.If you're serious about dog training, this episode will challenge what you've been told and show you how to think beyond the textbook.Subscribe to the Training Without Conflict® Podcast for more episodes

Associates on Fire: A Financial Podcast for the Associate Dentist
In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Read, CPA, CFP, continues the series on turning financial chaos into financial freedom for dental practice owners. Building on previous episodes covering team assembly, personal financial planning, and implementation strategies, Wes dives deep into the third step: developing a business financial plan that supports your personal financial goals.He explains why organizing your financial reporting is the foundation for success, how to interpret monthly financial “X-rays” of your practice, and why understanding your break-even points is critical for long-term wealth accumulation.Whether you're aiming to stabilize cash flow or strategically grow your practice, this episode offers the insights you need to take the next step toward financial clarity and independenceVisual Reference: Break-Evens ChartKey PointsDeveloping a business financial plan is step three in the dental financial planning journey.Organizing financial reporting (balance sheet, income statement, forecast) provides a monthly “X-ray” of your practice's health.Practice CFO's monthly CFO Analysis offers in-depth trend data, industry comparisons, and a “Where Did My Cash Go?” report.Understanding break-even points helps track when collections start contributing toward personal wealth.Fixed costs (rent, labor, marketing, administrative expenses, debt) make up 75–85% of a dental practice's expenses.Variable costs (labs, supplies, merchant fees) fluctuate with production and collections.Dental practices' high fixed cost structure can amplify the impact of slow months on cash reserves.Hitting break-even levels for obligations, debt, taxes, and personal pay is necessary before wealth accumulation begins.#DentalBoardroomPodcast #DentalFinancialPlanning #DentalPracticeManagement #DentalBusinessTips #DentistWealth #BreakEvenPoint #DentalCFO #FinancialFreedomForDentists #DentalBusinessGrowth #DentalPracticeOwners

This week's edition of Overdrive Radio takes a deeper dive into Overdrive's relatively new Load Profit Analyzer tool: https://overdriveonline.com/load-analyzer Go there and pull up the analyzer to follow along with this detailed walk-through with owner-operator business coach and longtime Overdrive contributor Gary Buchs. As regular readers will likely recall from when it was introduced late in 2024, the Analyzer was in part inspired by Buchs' own efforts at individual load profit analysis, tracing back to his decades as owner-operator himself. (Gary retired from the road in 2019, yet continues private efforts as a mentor/business coach to other owner-operators.) I brought Gary on to talk us through a few divergent load examples in hopes that more owner-operators in the audience might benefit from what is in essence a fairly simple calculator, but might also be a powerful personal accountability tool for business performance long-term. So, with this episode, get to a spot where you can pull out the mobile device or laptop and go to https://OverdriveOnline.com/load-analyzer We'll run through the three cost-input fields you see there, namely: **Fixed cost per day under load **Salary per day under load and **Variable cost per mile Then analyze results for three different loads all originating in Dallas with offers at wildly different rates: $2.30, $3, and a whopping $10/mile on a short haul. When it comes to profits, though, results from the analyzer might be surprising if you closely take into consideration the impacts of time spent on each load. Set up with all those different cost metrics, considering your contribution to your home budget's needs in the salary on the expense side of the equation, fundamentally the analyzer is set up to help you do that with a close eye on business profits. There are always dozens of variables at play in load selection and post-delivery analysis, but engaging with your own numbers with the tool we hope helps yield better profit results over time, as Gary likes to say, as you "touch those numbers" routinely. Give it a whirl with today's podcast. More from Gary on the topic of negotiations in this past Overdrive Radio edition: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15736582

In this episode we answer emails from Ron, Michael, Jaime and Clare. We discuss all the generosity bestowed on us and our charity, including the McKenna Man portfolio, a listener's personal portfolio and two-year experience, portfolio longevity issues and common myths thereabout, tax considerations and how to really enjoy retirement after accumulation.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterMichael's Portfolio (unlevered) vs. a 70/30 since 2022: testfol.io/?s=fW46hjKw65MBreathless AI-Bot Summary:Money can buy you more wealth, but it can't buy you more time. This fundamental truth frames our deep dive into the stories of listeners who've transformed their financial futures through risk parity investing.We begin with Ron's creative McKenna Man Portfolio – a 100% equity allocation that makes quarterly charitable distributions while still growing steadily. Michael shares his journey from traditional investing to a risk parity approach that delivers impressive returns with dramatically lower volatility, proving these principles work in real-world applications.The heart of this episode tackles a question many struggle with: how to plan for extremely long retirement periods of 50+ years. Contrary to popular fear-mongering that suggests dramatically lower withdrawal rates, we explore research showing withdrawal rates tend to flatten over extended timeframes. Variable withdrawal strategies that adjust based on actual spending needs rather than rigid CPI increases can support withdrawal rates only slightly lower than traditional 30-year plans. For those concerned about longevity risk, slight adjustments to equity allocations or implementing rising equity glide paths provide additional security without sacrificing quality of life.Perhaps most powerful is Claire's story of transitioning to a work-optional lifestyle at 56, using risk parity principles to escape a high-pressure career and create space for relationships and experiences. Her wisdom cuts through financial noise with crystal clarity: "Don't worry about running out of money, worry about running out of time."When we reflect on Bronnie Ware's "Five Regrets of the Dying," none involve wishing for more wealth. They center on authentic relationships, self-expression, and allowing more happiness – precisely what proper financial planning should ultimately enable. The purpose isn't maximizing wealth, but confidently answering "how much is enough" so you can stop playing the accumulation game and start truly living.What would your life look like if financial fears no longer dictated your choices?
