    The Fed, Interest Rates, and the Big Mortgage Myth

    When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, mortgage rates fall… right? NOPE. Don’t let the noise out of Washington, D.C. confuse you about what the Fed actually does. The Federal Reserve plays a massive role in our economy — but it does not set mortgage rates. In this episode, we’ll chat with Brett- who’s my brother, and the Chief Investment Officer at LifeGoal Investments. We break down what ACTUALLY drives the Fed’s decisions, what parts of the economy are impacted, and why mortgage rates barely care what the Fed does. By the end, you’ll understand the mechanics, the misconceptions, and the real levers that move markets.

    Cash Burning Holes in Investors’ Pockets- LITERALLY

    On this podcast, we discuss what to do with cash.  Cash, money markets, CDs are that warm fuzzy blanket that everyone feels comfortable with- until they realize they’re comfortably losing money- because their yield after tax is less than inflation.  And with the Federal Reserve about to cut rates further, it’s only going to get worse.  To discuss options for cash, we’ll chat with Brett- who’s my brother, and the Chief Investment Officer at LifeGoal Brett grew up at BlackRock & has investing certificates from Harvard.  So if you really want to understand the details of what it takes to design and manage risk in a portfolio, here’s your guy.   Enjoy.

    Is the 60/40 Portfolio Broken?

    In this episode, we take a clear look at the traditional 60/40 portfolio—how it earned its reputation as the foundation of balanced investing, what recent market conditions have revealed about its limitations, and whether it can still play a meaningful role for today’s investors. We also dig into the growing interest in alternative investments, examining the factors driving this shift, the types of assets investors are exploring, and how these strategies aim to complement or replace the classic stock-and-bond mix.
