Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, returns to Forward Guidance to comment on the ample and growing earnings of the big banks (particularly JPMorgan Chase, whose stock surged over 7% on rosy net income and increasing deposits). Whalen argues that banks unrealized losses on their securities due to interest rate risk have gone down dramatically as interest rates have fallen since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on March 10. However, he expects banks cost of funds (what they have to pay for deposits) to continue to rise and he makes the case that the primary headwind for...

Dan McNamara, veteran commercial MBS trader and founder of Polpo Capital, joins Forward Guidance to argue that the commercial real estate (CRE) default cycle has only just begun. McNamara notes that the fall of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank is causing regional banks to curb lending to commercial real estate projects, and that as a result many property developers will strategically default and walk away from the buildings.

Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, joins Jack Farley to share her data-driven investment outlook at a challenging time for global markets. Sonders argues that before the turmoil in the regional banking sector, the U.S. was already in a rolling recession where weakness rolled throughout different parts of the economy.

John Maxfield, banking specialist and author of the Maxfield on Banks Substack, joins Jack to discuss the history and future of the U.S. banking system. Drawing on his wide-ranging historical knowledge, Maxfield notes that when it comes to banks, failure is the norm, not the exception.

Maxfield makes the case that, paradoxically, a serious cause of bank failure is not just not enough liquidity: often banks fail because there was too much liquidity....

Commercial Real Estate Is In Serious Trouble | Nick Halaris


Nick Halaris, President of real estate investment firm Metros Capital, joins Jack to share insight on the challenges commercial real estate faces after a surge in interest rates and the fall of two U.S. banks. The phrase commercial real estate is a catch-all terms that refers to offices, apartment buildings (multi-family), retail, and industrial spaces. Unlike residential real estate, which is typically financed with long-term fixed-rate mortgages, a lot of commercial real estate was financed with floating rate debt, which means that as interest rates rose last year, the interest expense of some commercial real estate developers rose dramatically.

Today, Silicon Valley Bank, an institution with over $200 Billion worth of assets, failed. Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, returns to Forward Guidance to explain why.

Transitory Goldilocks Is Here | Darius Dale


Darius Dale of 42 Macro once again joins Jack to share his macro view for 2023.

George Noble has seen many bubbles in his storied career: the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, the Dotcom Bubble of 2000, and the Japanese mega-bubble which he rode on the way up and down.

But very recently, Teddy has closed his short in government bonds and has actually entered a massive long position in Treausurys. Teddy tells Farley why he expects growth and inflation to slow rapidly as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy. A note on the title: up...

The world of macro investing is full of narratives: that a rising dollar threatens emerging market stocks and commodity prices; that rising bond yields imperil growth stocks but buoy value stocks; and that inflation is bad for Tesla, good for gold, and great for Bitcoin.

CoVenture Credit - Esoteric Credit with Ail Hamed, Brian Harwitt, and Marc Porzecanski - [Invest Like the Best, EP.108]


My guests this week are Ali Hamed, Brian Harwitt and Marc Porzecanski who work together at CoVenture Credit. When I first had Ali on as a podcast guest, we discussed the many aspects of what his firm does, ranging from venture, to crypto, to credit. We glossed over the lending side of the business, but having since learned a lot from them on the topic, I was excited to get the chance to talk with members of their credit team for todays longer exploration of esoteric high yield lending. I am always proselytizing the value of investor education, s this...

Saifedean Ammous The Bitcoin Standard - [Invest Like the Best, EP.107]


My guest this week is Saifedean Ammous, author of the book the Bitcoin Standard. This was one of the more interesting conversations Ive had in the world of cryptocurrency, primarily because we dont talk about Bitcoin or Crypto until 25 minutes into the talk. Instead, we focus on history, economics, sound money, low time preference, and goldall interesting topics. Saifs thinking on cryptocurrencies other than bitcoinwhich is that they are worthlessis unique and thought provoking. His reasoning around why gold shouldnt be compared to the returns generated by assets like equities was also compelling. If youve followed my Hash Power...

My guest this week is Kathryn Minshew, the co-founder and CEO of the Muse, and the co-author of The New Rules for Work: the Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career. Ive learned in business is that the quality of people and the culture they create dictate outcomes.

Given that Kathryn runs a jobs marketplace and has written a book on the topic, she is the perfect person to explore some the core concepts...

Richard Craib - Crowdsourcing Predictive Algorithms - [Invest Like the Best, EP.102]


I intentionally avoid the world of quantitative investing on this podcast. The whole point of this format is to learn about many different fields, and the vast majority of my time is already spent in quant world. Occasionally Ive broken this rule because of something unique, including this weeks conversation with Richard Craib, the founder and CEO of Numerai. If you listen to the podcast often youll have heard me reference Numerai, a hedge fund which blends quant investing, cryptocurrencies, crowdsourcing, and machine learning talk about a PR companys dream. One important note: Numerai is both incredibly open and very...

Elad Gil How to Identify Interesting Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.101]


My guest this week has a fascinating background. He has a PhD in biology but has split his time as both an investor and an operator. As an investor, hes involved in companies like Airbnb, Coinbase, Instacart, Opendoor, Stripe, Square, and Pinterestnot too shabby. As an operator, he helped both Google and Twitter scale their businesses, in the case of Twitter from 100 employees to 1500 over two years. Hes just written a book about these experiences called the High Growth Handbook. Our talk centered on what makes for a good investment and more specifically how Elad identifies an interesting...

For the 100th episode, Ive brought back my good friend Brent Beshore. Brent was the 10th guest on the podcast, after we met because of a mutual interest in capital allocation. I quickly learned that Brent was one of the most unique and thoughtful investors around. He was an entrepreneur from the moment he left school, trying many different things before finding a fit buying smaller business with the intention of owning them forever. What amazes me about Brent is his encyclopedic understanding of business and the nuances of different business models and deal structures. This comes from reps. He...

Boyd and Bronwyn Varty Track Your Life - [Invest Like the Best, EP.99b]


Todays conversation is a continuation of my discussion on applying the lessons of tracking animals in the wild to tracking in your own life. I encourage to listen to that episode first. In this second part, Boyds sister Bronwyn joins and offers perspective on business and life. Given that Boyd and Bron grew up in this wild place, their perspective on the world is refreshing and very different. We discuss a wide range of things, But the section on restoration near the end is just phenomenal stuff. Please enjoy part two of my conversation with the Varty family. For more...

Boyd Varty Live Like a Tracker - [Invest Like the Best, EP.99a]


An interesting question that I think about a lot: how do you balance exploring the new with savoring what you already know and love? Most of the time I prefer to explore, but the best part of this podcast experience for me has been meeting people who become close friends. For episodes 99 and 100, Im bringing back two of the most popular past guest who are both now dear friends. This weeks episode is split into two parts, today and tomorrow. Todays episode is with Boyd Varty and tomorrow is with both Boyd and his sister Bronwyn. The incredible...

Ryan Selkis - The Crypto Barbell and Token Curated Registries - [Invest Like the Best, EP.98]


Ryan Selkis - The Crypto Barbell and Token Curated Registries - [Invest Like the Best, EP.98] This weeks conversation is for those interested in the nitty gritty of cryptocurrencies and for those who, like me, are fascinated by that world but more than a bit skeptical of the investing prospects for the many cryptocurrencies now in existence. My guest is Ryan Selkis, who I met at an event hosted by Union Square Ventures and Blocktower Capital. At that event, in a crowd of many brilliant people, Ryan was consistently asking hard questions and raising counterpoints. I love his perspective because...

Cathie Wood Investing in Innovation - [Invest Like the Best, EP.97]


My guest this week is Cathie Wood, the founder of ARK invest. Cathie and her team believe that disruptive innovation is the key to long-term growth and, therefore, alpha in the public markets. Because their style of investing is entirely contingent on what will happen and change in the future, it is about as different a style as exists from the quantitative approach to investing, which relies on what is currently knowable about stocks and businesses. The future is notoriously hard to predict, so I am always interested to hear about investing approaches which try to model or handicap the...

Bethany McLean - Business Gone Bad and the Art of Persistence - [Invest Like the Best, EP.96]


Ive often heard that good investors are a bit like journalists: doggedly collecting evidence and building an understanding of how all the pieces of a company or investment fit together. My guest this week is one of my favorite writers and journalists, Bethany McLean. Across her career, Bethany has covered many of the most interesting stories in business and investing, including Enron (which became the famous book and documentary, the Smartest Guys in the Room), Valeant, Wells Fargo, SAC Capital, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the great financial crisis, and most recently, fracking and the energy revolution. Given how deeply...

Modest Proposal Value is Dead, Long Live Value - [Invest Like the Best, EP.95]


A very short introduction today because my guest is anonymous. Suffice it to say he manages a large pool of private capital. He goes by the pseudonym modest proposal and his twitter presence is one of the reasons I first got on and now stay on the platform. He is level headed, smart, and skeptical by nature, all of which made for a great conversation. We discuss how difficult the market has become for active investors, thematic investment opportunities, and the potential sources of market mispricings. Please enjoy our conversation, and let me know which other anonymous accounts youd like...

[REPLAY] Eric Maddox The Ace of Spades - [Invest Like the Best, EP.15]


With Patrick out of the country this week, we thought we'd play an old favorite that many of you have not heard. Please Enjoy! This week we explore a rare and underappreciated skill through the lens of an incredible story. My guest is Eric Maddox, whose name you probably dont know but wont soon forget. Just trust me that you need to listen to this entire episode, and listen carefullybecause that is what the episode is ultimately all about: how to listen to others, with care and empathy, in the age of distraction. Sometimes its fun not to know whats...

Niel Robertson The Future of Media - [Invest Like the Best, EP.94]


This weeks episode covers a new set of topics. The conversation, with Niel Robertson, covers media, e-sports, content distribution, marketing, and a lot more. Niel started a software company out of his bedroom when he was 14, and sold his first company in 1999 for $280 million, when he was 24 years old. He has started and sold other companies to Twitter and Cisco. He started another large business that ultimately failed. Hes been an investor, venture partner, and serial entrepreneur. You can find more in the shownotes. As I often do, I cut the long background section from the...

We cover all aspects of ETFs in some detail, and luckily in ways that have little overlap with a few other recent ETF-centric episodes on two of my favorite podcasts: the Meb Faber Show and Capital Allocators...

New Angles on Crypto - Kyle Samani and Tushar Jain - [Invest Like the Best, EP.92]


My guests this week are Kyle Samani and Tushar Jain, both managing partners at Multicoin Capital. Ive taken a bit of a break from crypto because I hadnt sensed many new angles to explore in this forum, from an investors point of view. I felt that while things keep evolving, the major investment theses have been established and explored. Kyle and Tushar are interesting because of their often divergent views. For example, Kyle has been an outspoken supporter of Ethereum relative to bitcoin. This conversation, which is meant for those still curious about crypto, offers lots of new food for...

Michael Recce Tim Cooks Dashboard - [Invest Like the Best, EP.91]


My guest this week is Michael Recce, the chief data scientist for Neuberger Berman. The topic of our conversation is the use of data in the investment process, to help cultivate what is commonly referred to as an information edge. I call the episode Tim Cooks Dashboard because of an interesting question that Michael poses: if you armed the best apple analyst in the world with Tim Cooks private business dashboard, what might that be worth? Effectively Michaels goal is to recreate the equivalent of a company dashboard for many businesses, helping analysts understand the fundamental health and direction of...

Ash Fontana Investing in Artificial Intelligence - [Invest Like the Best, EP.90]


My guest this week is Ash Fontana, a managing partner at venture capital firm Zetta, who invests in companies which build software that uses artificial intelligence methods like machine learning to predict and prescribe outcomes.

Mike Zapata The Darkest Night: Lessons from Battle and Value Investing - [Invest Like the Best, EP.89]


My guest this week is remarkable. He now applies his talents on Wall Street, searching for smaller cap companies trading at huge discounts in an effort to compound wealth for his investors. He is classically trained, having earned his graduate degree from Colombia, a school known for producing value investors. But his method also reflects what he learned across more than a decade of active duty in the U.S. military. Mike Zapata served us all as a Navy SEAL in the aftermath of 9/11 and ultimately as a member of the SEALs Development Group, commonly known as SEAL team 6....

Sam Hinkie Data, Decisions, and Basketball - [Invest Like the Best, EP.88]


I came across this weeks guest thanks to the overlap of three passions of mine: data informed investing, value creation, and basketball.Sam Hinkie worked for more than a decade in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, and then most recently as the President and GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. He helped launch basketball's analytics movement when he joined the Houston Rockets in 2005, and is known for unique trade structuring and a keen focus on acquiring undervalued players. Today, he is also an investor and advisor to a limited number of young companies in which he feels his experience can...

Tren Griffin Pulling the Thread - [Invest Like the Best, EP.87]


My guest this week is a bundle of curiosity, and that is one of the nicest things I could say about someone.

Hes also worked with or for several well know businesspeople and investors like Craig McCaw, and written several books including one on...

Jason Karp Opportunities in Public and Private Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.86]


I believe that any investment strategy that will deliver strong returns in the future must evolve. Any strategy should rest on rock solid foundational principles, which change rarely if everthings like price discipline, or business growth. But the features of the strategy must keep getting better, because the marketplace is incredibly competitive. That evolution is the topic of todays conversation with Jason Karp. Jason is the founder and CIO of Tourbillon Capital Partners, a multi-billion dollar asset manager based in New York City. We cover a ton of interesting ground. We start with what has happened in public and private...

Chris Douvos A Value Investor Lost in the Valley - [Invest Like the Best, EP.85]


My guest this week is Chris Douvos, a managing partner at Venture Investment Associates, which allocates 1.6B in behalf of investors. Chris is the first professional allocator Ive spoken with who focuses specifically on venture capital funds, so I had a ton of questions for him on how to build a portfolio in an asset class known for uncertain, but often enormous, outcomes. We discuss the major recent changes in the asset class and where things might be going. I sought Chris out because while this is an investment style that is full of creativity and hope, Ive always felt...

Arianna Simpson The Crypto Landscape - [Invest Like the Best, EP.84]


My guest today is Arianna Simpson, who has spent her career in an around the world of technology working at startups, Facebook, and now in venture capital as an investor focused on the world of cryptocurrencies.

It is clear that she loves to learn and that the best manifestation of her style of learning is investing in technology. In our conversation we discuss...

Shark Tank with Thatcher Bell and Taylor Greene - [Invest Like the Best, EP.83]


Weve always found that even in public equities, you learn more once you have a live portfolio. One of the best ways to learn is to put some capital at risk. For this episode, I asked two VCs to sit down with me and Brett and treat the conversation as they would a normal pitch meeting, so that we, the audience, can get a peek into their world and the types of questions they ask.The venture capitalists in question are Thatcher Bell, of CoVenture, and Taylor Greene, of Collaborative Fund. The first voice that youll hear is Thatcher, and the...

Nikhil Kalghatgi Moonshot Investing - [Invest Like the Best, EP.82]


My guest this week helps me complete the first trilogy of guests on the podcast. His name is Nikhil Kalghatgi. Along with past guests Ali Hamed and Savneet Singh, Nikhil is a partner at the asset management firm CoVenture. If you liked those two conversations, you will love this oneit is somehow even more wide-ranging than the first two. Nikhil is the CEO of CoVenture Crypto, but he ended up there because of an overarching investing style that he calls moonshot investing, which we explore right from the start and in great detail. He is obsessed with productivity and happiness,...

Live EP.01 Peter Attia, M.D. [Invest Like the Best]


This weeks episode was the first one that Ive recorded live.

My guest, for the second time on the podcast, is Peter Attia, who has lead one of the more interesting careers Ive ever come across and who is focused on understanding longevity, health span, and quality of life.

Albert Wenger - World After Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.80]


My guest this week is Albert Wenger, a managing partner at Union Square Ventures and the author of the book World After Capital. Albert studied economics at Harvard and earned a PhD in information from technology, but if youd asked me to guess before looking those up, Id have guessed that he studied philosophy because of how widely he has thought about the world and the impact of technology. Our conversation is about how technology is changing the world from an Industrial Age to a knowledge age. We explore how cryptocurrencies, low cost computing, and regulation will impact our future...

Savneet Singh - The Berkshire of Software - [Invest Like the Best, EP.79]


My guest this week is another in a recent series of people that makes me want to work harder, learn more, and do more for others. His name is Savneet Singh, and he has already accomplished a remarkable amount in the worlds of business and investing. Hes preferred to keep a bit of a low profile, but Im hoping, for everyones sake, to change that a little bit. Savneet has invested in unique things like Spanish real estate, famous startups like Uber, cryptocurrencies before they were cool, and even websites. He founded and built a fintech company. And now, he...

Dan Rasmussen - Private Equity Returns in Public Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.78]


It has been a while since we discussed private equity on the show, so I was excited for this weeks conversation. My guest is Dan Rasmussen, the founder of Verdad advisers. Dan worked in private equity and has spent years studying the entire field. Dan identified several key drivers of private equitys outsized returns: size, value, and leverage. His firm uses these factors as a starting point to build a portfolio of public equities that behave like their private brethren. We cover a ton of ground, discussing the prospective returns for equities, forecasting, and tons of investing strategies. Please enjoy...

Pat Dorsey Returns - The Moat Portfolio - [Invest Like the Best, EP.77]


My guest this week, back for a second conversation, is Pat Dorsey. Pat ran equity research at Morningstar before leaving to start his own asset management company: Dorsey Asset Management. His areas of deep interest are competitive advantage and capital allocation. He believes that capital allocation should be in service of competitive advantage and invests in a concentrated portfolio that he and his team feel embody these ideas. If you have not already, I strongly recommend listening to our first conversation, which is a sort of crash course on moats. In this conversation, we cover different ground. We spend much...

Josh Wolfe - This is Who You Are Up Against - [Invest Like the Best, EP.76]


Long-time listeners will have heard me joke before that this podcast should really be called this is who are you up against. Ive been waiting for the right episode to deploy the joke as a title, and this week we have it. The joke is meant to convey how incredibly impressive these people are who we get to hear from every week. My guest this week is Josh Wolfe, a founding and managing partner at Lux Capital in New York City. Lux is a venture capital firm, but a highly unique one. Theyve spent more time in hard sciences and...

Harvey Sawikin - Emerging Market Opportunities - [Invest Like the Best, EP.75]


My guest this week is Harvey Sawikin, a co-founder and lead portfolio manager at Firebird Management, which manages funds dedicated to investing in emerging market equities. Emerging markets are often a blind spot for investors of all types: most of us have never traveled to the far east or eastern Europe, where many of the thousands of emerging market public equities operate. Ive been very lucky to travel quite a bit in Asia and the Middle East, but never to eastern Europe, which where Firebird focuses its investments. Harvey and I discuss his 24 years of experience evaluating emerging and...

Finally, we explore a unique media company,...

Dr. Ben Hunt - The Three-Body Portfolio - [Invest Like the Best, EP.73]


My guest this week is Dr. Ben Hunt, the chief investment strategist at Salient and the author of the extremely popular epsilon theory. Ive always enjoyed Bens writing style, particularly his use of farm and animal based analogies to describe market phenomenon.

Ali Hamed Creative Investing - [Invest Like the Best, EP.71]


I have a special request this week: share this episode with every curious person in your life. The conversation, with a 26-year old investor named Ali Hamed, serves as an example of whats possible when you think creatively. Ali views the world with a fresh set of eyes, and has already become an expert at identifying new investment opportunities where others have not. As the second prodigy 26 year old in as many weeks on the podcast, these young guns are making me feel like an ancient 32 year old. We talk a lot about alpha in our world, earning...

Sorin Capital Retail Contrarians - [Invest Like the Best, EP.68]


So far Ive spent no time in the podcast discussing real estate, so I was excited to get the chance to talk to the team at Sorin Capital, a billion dollar hedge fund which specializes in commercial real estate, REITs, and commercial mortgage backed securities.Sorin is lead by Jim Higgins, who founded the firm, and Tom Digan, who coincidentally was a college classmate of mine at Notre Dame. Youve probably heard me joke that this podcast should be called This is who you are up against, and this episode is a good example. I always enjoy exploring a niche part...

Franklin Foer World Without Mind - [Invest Like the Best, EP.67]


My guest this week is Franklin Foer, the author the recently published book World Without Mind. The topic of our conversation is one that Ive been thinking through often this past year: the impact that large technology companies have on our minds and behavior. This conversation is only indirectly related to markets, but given that the companies we discuss are now several of the largest by market cap in the global stock market, what happens to them likely impacts all of our portfolios whether we own them or not. Given that these companies compete for our attention and dollars, they...

Adam Ludwin - A Sober View on Crypto - [Invest Like the Best, EP.66]


My guest this week is Adam Ludwin, the founder and CEO of Chain, a blockchain technology company targeted at large enterprises. Before shifting his career to focus solely on crypto, Adam was a venture capitalist focused on FinTech, which is how he came across the Bitcoin whitepaper earlier than most. I called this episode a Sober View on Crypto because Adams take is so balanced. He is certainly long crypto, both in his portfolio and career, but he is very skeptical of much of what is happening in the ecosystem today. For example, he offers the best reason Ive heard...

Joanne Wilson - Angel Investing and Trend Spotting - [Invest Like the Best, EP.65]


My guest today is Joanne Wilson, a New York City based angel investor, writer, podcaster, trend spotter, and self-described woman around town.

Connor Leonard - Capital Light Compounders & Reinvestment Moats - [Invest Like the Best, EP.64]


This weeks conversation is an ode to old school, fundamental public market investing. My conversation is with IMCs Connor Leonard, who spends most waking hours thinking and reading about markets. His mandate is to invest purely as if it was his own money, with no pressure to hug a benchmark, and no pressure to do much of anything other than earn strong long-term returns. The portfolio that results from this approach is highly concentrated and unique. Connors strategy is to sort companies into four categories based on their type of sustainable competitive advantage. As youll hear, the vast majority fall...

Dhani Jones - Adventures in Sports, Business, and Investing - [Invest Like the Best, EP.63]


My guest this week is unique. As you will hear early and often, he is programmed to go his own way, to, as he says, go one way when everyone else is going another. His name is Dhani Jones, a name I knew as a Notre Dame football fan, because he won a championship with our arch-rivals, the University of Michigan, in the late 90s. Dhani went on to a long and successful career in the NFL, but even more interesting has been his many pursuits in business and investing outside of football. Like my conversation with Tim Urban, Ill...

Chris Burniske - How to Value a Cryptoasset - [Invest Like the Best, EP.62]

My guest this week is Brad Katsuyama, the founder of the IEX exchange and protagonist of Michael Lewiss famous book Flash Boys, which chronicled the role of high frequency trading in markets. This conversation was yet another reminder of how complicated markets can be, and that very few participants know all aspects of the process well. Brad and I get deep into the history behind his company, and the ways in which markets and exchanges have evolved, better or worse. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was our exploration of entrepreneurship. Brads whole story is one that entrepreneurs...

Brett Maloley - Ladder: The Fitness Marketplace - [Invest Like the Best, EP.60]


This weeks episode is part of an experiment and so requires a longer than normal introduction. Ive come to view this podcast as a learning tool, a means to understand a new topic in a short window of time. One of those areas is venture capital and startupsan area that one year ago was completely foreign to me. I think the best way to learn is aggressive immersion in a topic along with some consequences, what we often call some skin in the game. Accordingly, this is a conversation with the founder of a startup in which I am an...

Tim Urban - Grand Theft Life - [Invest Like the Best, EP.59]


This weeks conversation is about artificial intelligence and interplanetary travel. Its about content creation, thinking from first principles, and death progress units.

David Gardner - Finding Companies That Break the Rules- [Invest Like the Best, EP.54]


The investment strategy discussed in this week's episode is diametrically opposed to my own value tendencies, but it still one that has done exceptionally well. My guest is David Gardner, co-founder of the Motley Fool. He is unique in that he is both a pure investor--a true stock junkie--and an entrepreneur. His energy is remarkable.

Team Ritholtz - The Wu Tang Clan of Finance - [Invest Like the Best, EP.52]


My guests this week don't need to be introduced. In celebration of the one year anniversary of invest like the best, I asked Josh Brown, Mike Batnick, and Barry Ritholtz to join me for a hour, during which I spent more time laughing than asking questions. I chose this team because they are the pioneers of mold breaking honesty and personality in our industry. They all figured out that just being themselves yields incredible results. This is a strategy that everyone should try, but very few do. Honesty and transparency require vulnerability, which is hard for most of us. I...

My guest this week is Pat Dorsey, who was the longtime director of equity research at Morningstar, where he specialized in economic moats: sources of sustained competitive advantage that allow a few companies to deliver huge returns over time. Several years ago he left Morningstar to form his own asset management firm, Dorsey asset management, and build a portfolio of companies with wide moats like those he studied at Morningstar. And while moats are critical, equally important is how companies allocate the capital generated--or made possible--by the existence of the moat. A special thank you to Brian Bares who introduced...

Brad Stulberg - Just Manageable Challenges - [Invest Like the Best, EP.49]


This week's conversation is about performance. More specifically, it is about the ins and outs of steady progress and growth. My guest is Brad Stulberg who coauthored the book Peak Performance, which combines research from many fields into a description of how athletes, creatives and others continue to push boundaries in their respective crafts. As someone who is intermittently lazy, the growth equation framework that Brad and I explore has impacted me often since I first read the book several months ago. I hope you enjoy this conversation, which isn't about investing, but which is, at its heart, still about...

Leigh Drogen - Sink or Swim--How to Combine Quant and Traditional Asset Management Techniques - Invest Like the Best, EP.48]


Several weeks ago my conversation with Leigh Drogen on quant investing proved timely and popular--because everyone in asset management is facing the rise of big data, and the use of data science in investing strategies. Because of the rise of quants, many are asking themselves how to survive and thrive in a changing industry. In short, how can traditional managers compete with quants? This second conversation with Leigh was set up to answer many of the questions posed in the first one. If quants are taking over, what should other investors do about it? Leigh proposes a method by which...

Rishi Ganti - Esoteric Assets - [Invest Like the Best, EP.46]


My guest this week is Rishi Ganti, who invests in what he calls esoteric assets. I'm not sure what to do other than laugh in amazement at his professional credentials -- PhD in economics, CFA, CPA, lawyer, speaks six languages, and so on. The best part is he isn't lording those over anyone and in fact casts some shade on the whole idea of credentials in our conversation. He just did it all because he's a learning fiend. Rishi's core idea about markets is this: avoid markets at all costs. As he explains off the bat, the minute there are...

Jerry Neumann - The Deployment Age, Power Laws, and Venture Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.45]


I am drawn to a group of investors that I call practitioner philosophers.

My guest this week is one such practitioner philosopher, NYC based venture capitalist Jerry Neumann. I came across Jerry's essays a year ago, and he is on a very short list of writers whose work I read without fail and almost always more than once.

In a statement in February 2020, the FDA said, "Since January 24, the FDA has been in touch with more than 180 manufacturers of human drugs, not only to remind them of applicable legal requirements for notifying the FDA of any anticipated supply disruptions but also asking them to evaluate their entire supply...

How to Become an Entrepreneur During a Crisis


Most people are trained to avoid mistakes. Rather, they always play it safe. Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad said, "Some of the biggest failures I know are people who have never failed." His point was that because people try to play it safe, they never take any risks. And because they never take any risks, they never get ahead in life. That is certainly not the case for today's guest, the CEO, and Co-Found of Nekter Juice Bar, Steve Schulze. Prior to launching Nekter, Steve worked for consumer-based companies in various sales, marketing, and management capacities, including spending over 10 years...

The Original Internet Godfather: From FBI's Most Wanted to Leading Security Expert


Online crime often succeeds because of failure across a variety of systems and as technology changes, cybersecurity becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain. Those that are committing online crime usually operate open source and somewhat freely exchange information. The result is a criminal community that is more educated and much quicker than the "good guys." Today's guest, Brett Johnson, ran the first organized cybercrime community, Shadowcrew, but after finding himself on the United States Most Wanted List, he's turned from bad guy to good guy. His background as the first Internet Godfather and current status as a leading security professional...

How to Prepare for the Future and Avoid Being Caught in the Next Crash


As the global financial crisis spreads and the Fed prints more and more money to try to save the U.S. economy, the average person is wondering how can they avoid being caught in the next crash. First, you must understand that the mess the U.S. is in has been happening since 2008. Mortgage-backed securities were the pin that popped the bubble in 2008, and the pin today is the coronavirusnot the cause. The real cause of the economic problems is what 99.9% of the people can't seethe structure of the economy itself. Guest George Gammon, American real estate investor and...

Can the U.S. print its way out of financial disaster?


The Fed has been printing trillions of dollars, and the amount of debt that has been added is insurmountable. America was already the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and in the last month they have added staggering amounts of debt and they continue to add more and they're printing more money. Why? Today's guest, one of the world's most successful international investors, Jim Rogers, says "There's an election in November in the United States. None of those guys care about you and me or other people or young people like my kids. They care about the...

Investing Outside the Central Bank


The Federal Reserve, the United States central bank, has "printed" more than $2 trillion since the global economic crisis began, and when the Fed prints money it makes the price of assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin go up. As Robert Kiyosaki says, central banks are run by the "controlling elite." These elites do not like gold because central banks cannot print gold. Equally, central banks do not like Bitcoin and blockchain because what Robert calls people's money, does not need central banks either. Today, billions of people are trapped in a central banking system owned by the mega-rich and...

The Dollar Milkshake Theory: A Global Currency Crisis


Central banks have created a "milkshake" of different currencies and pushed liquidity into the global economy. As of 2016, the US started raising rates while the rest of the world was "mixing" the milkshake. As a result, raising rates acts as a straw that sucks the capital into the United States. So what is the outlook in the post-coronavirus economy? Brent Johnson, CEO of Santiago Capital, explains the "Dollar Milkshake Theory," what impact the strong dollar will have on gold and Bitcoin, and why comparisons of currency strength are all relative. In addition, he explains that a strong dollar is...

Why You Should Plan to Retire Young, Retire Rich


"Investing is a plan." In order for Robert and Kim Kiyosaki to retire young, they had to have a plan, a plan that started with nothing because they had nothing. The plan had an exit, and it also had a time limit. For many, however, the current financial crisis has disrupted the plans of millions of people to retire in the near future. For the majority of baby boomers they've prepared for retirement by relying on a 401(k) and it's how the majority of the US prepares, including probably you. But guest David Scranton, host of the financial TV Show...

Do You Have the DNA of a Wartime Leader?


Do You Have the DNA of a Wartime Leader? A peacetime leader takes the safe route. They follow the rules of: go to school, get a good job. They are worried about being perfect, but accept the bad. And make committee-based decisions. You might even be one. In contrast, wartime leaders bring peace of mind through strength and a sense of security. They are quick to make decisions and can lead during turbulent times. A lot of people are facing a crisis right now. If you're one of those people, ask yourself: Will this crisis make you stronger, or weaker?...

How To Prepare For The New Depression


The Government is managing the economy through government debt and the Fed printing money. There's no better example of why they do this than when the Fed announced it would create limitless amounts of money in March 2020. Had the Government not printed money, the U.S. would have certainly fallen into a depression. The question you should be asking is, "How long can this go on before we spiral into a new depression?" To answer this question, you first must: 1. Understand the forces that drove the global economy and the financial markets before the Coronavirus struck. 2. Understand what...

The Age of Entrepreneurship: Guy's Golden Touch

We are in a new agethe age of entrepreneurship. Today, the barrier to entry to entrepreneurship is almost non-existent. But to heed the opportunities available to everyone it requires a...

Pension Time Bombs: Part 7 - Autopsy of Dead Pensions


Many public or government pensionsincluding some of the largestare not audited annually by independent certified public accountants. In fact, about 60 percent of all corporate pensions in the United States are not audited. Let's call it another example of the "gross malpractice generally practiced" that pervades pension management. Pensions don't just implode overnight. There are always warning signs or "red flags" that have been disregarded for decades. "Who Stole My Pension" co-author Ted Siedle, says, "Pension deaths are almost always foreseeable. Likewise, pension deaths are almost always preventable. If not foreseen and prevented, someone was not doing his or her...

Gold, Silver & Crypto: Insurance Against a Corrupt Federal Reserve


Throughout history, "money" has been many different things. Money has taken the form of seashells, colored beads, feathers, live animals, and large stones. Today, there are three types of modern money. Robert Kiyosaki says they are: 1.God's money: Gold and silver 2.Government's money: Dollars, Euros, pesos, etc. 3.People's money: Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Most are taught that saving money is smart but the truth is the dollar is worthless because the Fed is has been printing trillions of dollars ultimately make savers the biggest loser of all. So if saving money isn't smart, what is? Get on your own gold standard,...

5 Pension Time Bombs: Part 6 - Kentucky Fried Pensions


States with the worst pension fund shortfalls include Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, and New Jersey which have less than half of the assets needed to pay promised benefits and another 17 states have less than two-thirds. The extent to which public pensions are underfunded has been obscured by governmental accounting rules, which allow pensions to eliminate their underfunding, no matter how large, simply by investing in risky assets. In fact, investing in riskier assets may allow a pension to raise investment assumptions, but it also increases the probability that existing underfunding will increase. It's anyone's guess what will happen if...

5 Steps to Stay Healthy During a Pandemic

Pension Time Bombs: Part 4 - The Cure to the Pension Crisis


As if the coronavirus hasn't caused enough damage, it also has investors feeling like they've been punched in the gut financially. Falling stock prices and interest rates have created a problem for both DB and DC pensions plans. The unfortunate thing about the coronavirus hitting at a time when most pensions are already underfunded, it almost certainly, will likely lead to more pension cuts as trouble grows in the economy. So the question that Robert Kiyosaki and his guests will be answering is, "What can I do?" In today's episode of the "5 Pension Time Bombs" series, Rich Dad Advisor...

How to Survive the Main Street Crisis


The rules are changing quickly for entrepreneurs since confirmed coronavirus cases continue to exponentially grow around the world. As a result, the U.S. Federal Government sprung into action to try to alleviate further damage and destruction to the economy. Last week, President Donald Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act into law, which initiated a $2 trillion stimulus package, the largest emergency relief bill in American history. Our guest today, Tom Wheelwright who is the Rich Dad Advisor on Taxes, and author of "Tax-Free Wealth: How to Build Massive Wealth by Permanently Lowering Your...

The Financial Storm is Here


Some people say these most recent global events are part of a grand conspiracy, and that might well be. Some people say the events represent the struggle between capitalists, communists, and socialists, and that might be, too. But the only way out of this financial storm is to be prepared with financial education. There were so many signals pointing to a market crash, and guest Bert Dohmen, the author of the Wellington Letter, looks behind the scenes of the global investment markets, analyzes cross-market relationships, global correlations, and especially credit market data which gives him superb clues as to what...

Are We Experiencing a Black Swan Event?


If you've been following your financial advisor's advice of "invest for the long term" for the last several years you've been living fat, dumb and happy...until now. The sudden plunge in the stock market and the global spread of the coronavirus is making citizens across the globe more and more anxious as the days go by despite efforts by the Fed to pump in more money. The truth is the Feds can't print their way out of this one. Harry Dent, author of Zero Hour: Turn the Greatest Political and Financial Upheaval in Modern History to Your Advantage, warns, "Markets...

Pension Time Bombs: Part 3 - Ill, Dying, and Dead


Mark Greene, a 30-year veteran UPS driver from Upstate NY, found out that the pension he and his organization's members were counting on for their retirement security was in financial crisis. As president of the Teamsters Alliance for Pension Protection (aka TAPP), a grassroots pension watchdog organization, he led efforts to raise funds to perform the first-ever forensic investigation of The New York State Teamsters Conference Pension & Retirement Fund. The people running the pension had spent millions (money paid by workers' retirement savings) for bad advice from so-called experts who ultimately ran the pension into the ground. Ted Siedle...

Surviving Coronavirus: Protect Your Health and Wealth


As cases continue to grow exponentially, the number of known global cases of COVID-19 passed 100,000 over the weekend.

Additionally, on Monday, March 9, the Dow Jones industrial average declined 2,014 points, or 7.8%, its biggest single-day loss since October 2008. While the total number of cases affecting individuals worldwide has yet to be known, there is much each...

The Wall Street casinos are charging high fees for gambling in risky hedge funds and other speculative investments, outrageous investment-industry conflicts of interest, and outright violations of the law. According to Ted Siedle, a former attorney with the...

Vontae Davis and Walking Away From $5 Million a Year


There's a question that I like to ask people, and I want you to think about your answer for a minute. "What would you do if I paid you five million dollars per year?" Would you quit your job? Would you work more? How far would you be willing to go to get that money? If you're former NFL player Vontae Davis, a five-million-a-year paycheck wasn't enough to keep working. Not only did he get out of playing football, but he walked off the field in the middle of the game. Why? Because of his health. He knew that continuing...

The Looming Pension Crisis: a Discussion with Ted Siedle


We are in the early stages of the greatest retirement crisis in the history of our nation and, indeed, the entire world. One thing is certain: doing nothingsitting back, confident your pension check is "in the mail"is not an option. That's a risk you can't afford to take.

Too frail to work, too poor to retire...

Pulling Back the Veil of the Modern World of Banking - Nomi Prins


For the last couple of years, if you heard the word collusion, chances are that you would imagine Russia helping the Trump administration win the 2016 election.

In today's episode, we're talking with Nomi Prins, author of the book Collusion. As a Wall Street insider, Nomi got a firsthand look at how the...

Learning How to Reduce Your Taxes, the Legal Way - Tom Wheelwright

In this episode, we're talking with Tom Wheelwright, a professional tax advisor. If you're anything like me, you hate giving any money to the government. It...

Finding and Harnessing Your Competitive Spirit


You can't ignore the fact that the 'competitive spirit' is becoming more and more rare among men and women, both in this country and around the world.

However, here to explain why the world at large is not a zero sum game, and why truly competitive people are people who compete with themselves more than anyone is sports psychologist, motivational speaker and author of The MindSide Manifesto, Dr. Brett McCabe. Dr. Brett McCabe had...

The video details how the stock market reacted positively to President Trump's revised tariff strategy, which involved increasing tariffs on China while reducing them for other nations. This market surge, reminiscent of the 2009 rebound under President Obama, saw significant gains for major tech companies. The presenter suggests that this market behavior aligns with previous predictions about tariffs being adjusted if they negatively impacted the US economy, and anticipates potential future trade agreements that could further stimulate the market. The core message emphasizes the importance of capitalizing on market volatility and investing during periods of uncertainty, as sudden market upswings...

This video analyzes the significant decline in the stock market triggered by the White House's newly implemented tariff policies, highlighting the resulting loss of investor confidence and the criticisms from business leaders and even Trump supporters who fear economic damage; it also presents the counter-argument from a White House trade advisor defending the tariffs as necessary to address trade imbalances. Amidst the uncertainty, the speaker shares his personal investment strategy of buying quality stocks during this downturn, drawing parallels to his successful approach during the pandemic, while acknowledging the inherent risks but emphasizing the potential for substantial returns.

Episode 14 - $300,000 By Age 28!


In this episode I illustrate the story of how I was able to gain a 300k net worth before the age of 28. No windfalls or inhairantecs, no hitting it big with a startup company or getting lucky with bitcoin. The biggest contributors is avoiding debt, having savings, and taking advantage of small opportunities when they present themselves.
