Talking Real Money - Investing Talk

Great advice when it comes to long term investing and planning. It gets hard to listen to at times when politics are injected. Politics can be relative to the Q&A, but it goes beyond that and you can tell what is trying to be sold. As an example, rebates on road tolls are “vote buying” (he doesn’t like Florida’s Gov) but he cheers canceling student debt and somehow that isn’t vote buying. Don also believes there isn’t enough bloat in government to make a dent if you try and cut, so the only option is to raise taxes to reduce the deficit. It makes me wonder about his objectivity on other financial investments.

These guys are very smart and are entertaining. They have good analysis of topics and can do math. But their answer to everything is to invest in two obscure high fee ETFs which I can only assume they are paid to endorse. The show is a front for their investment firm where they claim to be fee only but push these terrible products. I looked up one of these ETFs and it’s only been around a year and has huge fees. Listen to their advice but do not buy any stocks they recommend.

Excellent podcast!

These two guys are unprofessional and act very childish; talking over each other and bickering every single show. How can anyone take them seriously with the childish behavior acting like junior high punks. Clean up your act, for goodness sake you are two old gizzards. Is this how you want people to remember you two by. Cut it out, the sad part is that you don’t seem to want to listen to the audience. Many listeners had commented on this, yet you removed their reviews. Grow up Don and Tom, it is very hard to listen to your podcast since your childish behavior has become worse.
