2/10/23: The Future of Cybersecurity Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

It's Friday, February 10th. We're living in a digital world these days. No surprise there. It means there's a new threat to our way of life. Cyber-attacks.

Cyber-attacks are growing in number and size. At the World Economic Forum this year, 39% of companies said they have suffered collateral damage from cyber-attacks. 90% of these companies are concerned about future attacks. I don't have to tell you, things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad.

2/9/23: Why the Social Security Trust Fund is on the Brink of Collapse Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

The past couple of days I've been talking with you about retirement, how to calculate in about 30 seconds how much money you're going to need and what to do when you get laid off in your 50s and 60s and you find yourself getting discriminated against because of ageism. Now, I want to talk with you about a related topic, Social Security.

2/8/23: Laid Off in Your 50s or 60s? Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

It's Wednesday, February 8th. Yesterday, I talked about the fact that you'll likely need millions of dollars in savings in order to retire in financial comfort. That raised a question from William in Albuquerque. He sent me an email that said the following:

"Ric, no one wants to confront age discrimination. I think it's a potentially huge obstacle to anyone's efforts to achieve financial independence by retirement. I lost my well-paid job at 58 and I went to an unemployment seminar that was sponsored by the state of New Mexico, and the presenter said if you're over 40, getting a new job that is equivalent to the job you just lost is improbable, if not impossible..."

2/7/23: The New Math -- How Much Money You'll Need to Retire Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Let me ask you this, how much money do you need in order to retire in financial security and comfort? There's a new survey out from Northwestern Mutual.

And unfortunately, like so many other surveys in the financial services industry, this one is just downright stupid. They even said so themselves.

2/3/23: Why Crypto is Here to Stay Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Tom Emmer, a member of Congress, just issued a tweet and he said, "Crypto is here to stay. I will keep advocating for policies that advance crypto innovation and adoption in the US because crypto is more than a financial investment. It's about restoring liberty and choice to individuals". Wow. That's brand new coming from Tom Emmer. And he's not alone. Kevin McCarthy, the speaker of the House, way back in 2019, he said, "I like Bitcoin. I want the government to start using blockchain". That was in 2019 when Kevin McCarthy was not the Speaker of the House. Well, now he is, and he's in a much stronger position to dictate that the government in fact start using blockchain. So when you have these major political leaders embracing and endorsing this asset class, well, you know, things are coming.

And this isn't just a Republican thing. Democrats, too, are highly supportive. Janet Yellen last year called blockchain technology transformative. Maxine Waters, the ranking minority member of the House Financial Services Committee, she said last summer, "We're in a new digital assets space race. America can't be left behind". And Elizabeth Warren last year said, "Let's do a central bank digital currency. Yes, I think it's time".

1/31/23: Happy Birthday! The ETF Turns 30 Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

It's Tuesday, January 31st. Guess what? ETFs have now hit their 30th anniversary. The first exchange traded fund was the Spyder S&P 500 ETF Trust, and for the first time ever, investors could buy and sell the 500 stocks of the S&P 500 in a single trade. Today, that ETF has $370 billion in assets. It's still the largest ETF in the world. ETFs have become the most popular investment vehicle in the country. There are now nearly 2000 ETFs on the market from hundreds of fund companies. ETFs are now far more popular than mutual funds, which have been around for 100 years.
