Customer Reviews
Top Investing Podcast
Tom and Don have great show banter and are a genuinely great listen. I have listened since I was 25 and am confident their advice has helped me perfect my portfolio with a small
and value tilt. They are advocates for investors everywhere and have equipped their listeners with questions and knowledge to ensure they are receiving true fiduciary advice. I love that they bring in current events into their radio show and podcast only segments. Keep up the great work!
Mostly excellent investing advice
Great technical and practical content. However, the economics literature does not agree with their assessment of annuities. Nor does Paul Merriman. He recently spent an entire podcast discussing their importance. You are behind the curve on this one. It took you guys a long time to come around to the effectiveness of index funds. Annuities have their place for a large proportion of retirees.
You are spot on about Bitcoin. It is a risky and volatile investment and a poor replacement for a currency. Investors should not put more than 4% of their net worth in crypto.
Phony Financial Advice
This show often promotes itself as providing sound financial advice. However, one of the show’s hosts advocates for the socialization of his daughter’s student loan debt to the rest of us. Not really very sound financial advice! I would have thought a show named “Talking Real Money” would lean a little more towards promoting personal financial responsibility. You won’t find that here…
