    Revisiting Dual Momentum Investing with Gary Antonacci

    With the international markets starting to show some life, now could be the time to consider a Dual Momentum strategy.  I sat down with Gary Antonacci, author of Dual Momentum Investing and a 40-year investment industry veteran with an MBA from Harvard. Gary shares his expertise on momentum investing and trend following, diving into its origins in the 1930s and its evolution despite the efficient market hypothesis. Discover why momentum delivers interesting risk-adjusted returns, how it blends trend following and fundamental analysis, and Gary’s groundbreaking dual momentum strategy—combining absolute momentum (is an asset trending up?) and relative momentum (which assets perform best?). Learn how it applies to stocks, bonds, and the GEM portfolio, which boasts impressive long-term results. This is part of our Podcast Rewind Series where I revisit old interviews that have real application for advisors today. Key Highlights:  History of momentum investing Absolute vs. relative momentum explained GEM portfolio performance vs. global benchmarks Rules-based investing to eliminate emotion Gary’s take on today’s markets Details on Dual Momentum Investing (book) Enhanced models for advisors (aggressive, balanced, conservative) Visit https://www.optimalmomentum.com for more on Gary’s book and models.    Follow Jay Coulter & Resilient on Social Media:  X: https://twitter.com/sjaycoulter  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjaycoulter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sjaycoulter TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/sjaycoulter   Learn more about Resilient Advisor: http://www.resilientadvisor.com  © Resilient Advisor.

    The Soul of Wealth with Dr. Daniel Crosby

    In this episode of The Resilient Advisor Show, Jay Coulter interviews Dr. Daniel Crosby, the Chief Behavioral Officer at Orion, discussing a wide array of topics from health to financial wisdom and his latest book, The Soul of Wealth. Dr. Crosby begins by sharing his health journey, which began as a support effort for a friend and evolved into a structured plan focused on mindfulness and protein intake. This journey helped him realize the impact of mindful eating and the pitfalls of mindless snacking. Dr. Crosby explores themes from The Soul of Wealth, emphasizing how wealth can provide fulfillment if used with intention. They discuss concepts like the top regrets of the dying, where he reflects on how focusing on the temporary nature of life can lead to more meaningful choices. Another major theme in his book is social isolation, worsened by social media’s “empty-calorie” interactions, which create a sense of connection without true closeness. Additionally, Dr. Crosby highlights how intentional spending—on experiences, relationships, or self-fulfillment—can lead to lasting happiness. The episode concludes with Jay discussing how The Soul of Wealth can be used in financial advising, especially for clients who struggle with meaningful spending or transitioning to a decumulation phase. Dr. Crosby’s work is positioned as a resource to guide clients toward deeper fulfillment and intentional use of wealth. He recommends Amazon for purchasing his book, hoping it inspires readers to blend financial success with genuine life satisfaction.
