Investing Unscripted119. Jason is Buying a Bunch of BondsOften, when we think about the parts of investing, we think about the years we are growing wealth, and the years we are spending it. But there's an in-between period when long-term goals turn volatility into risk and can see a few bad months derail decades of careful planning and success. In this week's show, Jason explains to Jeff how he's making changes in his portfolio to start lowering the risks that the market's whims upend his family's financial planning as retirement becomes more of a near-term reality than some distant goal. ***************************************** Subscribe to our p...2024-09-1145 min

Investing Unscripted75. Should Stock Investors Lower Their Expectations?Investors have profited wildly from stocks over the past 14 years. Since March 2009, the S&P 500 has returned an average of 15.1% total returns per year. That's a mind-blowing 50% better than the long-term historical average. As a result, do investors have wildly unrealistic expectations going forward? After all, interest rates have been persistently at record lows for much of that time, giving companies access to cheap capital to fund growth, buy back stocks, and acquire competitors. It's also resulted in large sums of institutional money moving into equities to offset the much lower yield available in fixed income. In t...2023-10-211h 03

Even the worst-performing of the bunch (Microsoft) has gained 35% this year, more than double the ~15% returns of the S&P 500. Considering that these 7 companies make up more than one-quarter of the market cap of the S&P 500, it's no surprise it's been a good year for stocks. But Jeff and Jason think they can do even better.

It's hard to stand by while our portfolios are doing, well whatever, and not feel the need to act. Stocks going up? Sell to lock in gains. Or maybe buy more! It's going up, after all! Stocks falling? Sell to cut the losses. Or maybe buy more! It's going to go back up, after all! But none less than Warren Buffett has made the case for being a lazy investor.

Investing Unscripted53. I Don't Know How To Invest AnymoreThe past three years have been like a whipsaw for a lot of investors. After the bizarre – incredible – runup in stocks during the Coronavirus pandemic, the past 18 months have been hard. And with interest rates now high enough to make bonds a legitimate option for returns, many people find themselves in an investing environment they have never seen before. Count Jeff in that number. In this episode, Jeff and Jason talk through all of the changes, and why it has Jeff – and likely many other new investors – questioning whether they know how to invest anymore. ...2023-05-2050 min

Investing Unscripted51. Does Warren Buffett Even Matter?Did you know that Berkshire Hathaway stock has outperformed the market since the market peak before the coronavirus pandemic?

In this week's show, they discuss how so many investors are running the other way, paying a hefty premium for low-growth, "blue-chip" stocks that are likely to deliver underperforming returns going forward, looking for dividend stocks, and otherwise searching for safety in what Jason says is "the wrong way."

Investing Unscripted49. Are Your Goals the Same As Your Incentives?When it comes to understanding human behavior, Jason has learned the value of understanding incentives.

Yet, we as investors seem to make the mistake of not having our personal incentives aligned with our long-term financial goals. In this episode, Jason and Jeff discuss this complex topic and offer some examples of incentives versus goals to help you strengthen your own investing toolbox.
