THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FUTURE with Ric Edelman

Wow, you’re really trying to play catch-up for Kamala in this last podcast on ethics. She had lost in most of your criteria up to this point. It’s funny how you have only been playing just a couple of comments on all of them to up to this point. I guess since you’ve seen that Trump has won most of your criteria you had to really push hard and play lots of extra listener comments today all in her favor of course. Of everyone that has worked close to her they all hate her. She is horrible to people and has risen with no merit. But I guess none of that matters in terms of honesty, ethics, and doing the right thing, right? Bad form sir, bad form!

I’ve been listening to Ric for 8 years and wish I’d found him sooner. Much of his info I’ve used to improve my own finances and those of family, and all of it has improved my financial education. He inspired me to study finance formally and now I coach financially stressed people through a local nonprofit. I’m grateful to him for his advice over the years and will miss him when he wraps up his podcasts.

Dear Ric, I started listening to you 25 years ago, as a single woman, raising two children. I read your books, followed your advice, and I worked a second job so I could maximize contributions. Because of your advice and my hard work, I am very proud of what I have accomplished. Despite never meeting you, I want you to know you are one of the most important people in my life. Best of luck to you. And BTW, AI doesn’t hold a candle to your personal touch.

I am a long time listener of Ric’s and appreciate his wisdom and knowledge. But I have found it very troubling that several of his recent shows have shown a strong bias for Donald Trump (which is interesting because other commenters have called Ric a liberal because of his stance on social issues like basic universal income). Although I understand the need to talk about how electing Trump to another term may positively influence markets, I think it is also important to give context to the idea that his negative actions, especially his attempted overthrow of our government, bring chaos and uncertainty to those same markets. Stop it with the fan-boy mentality and get back to giving balanced insight!
