10/1/24: Knee, Hip, Kidney and Lung Transplants - Next: Heads Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

A biomedical engineering company is developing head transplants using robotics and AI to help patients with severe conditions retain their consciousness while receiving a new body, with potential surgeries starting within eight years. Meanwhile, studies show psychedelics can improve emotional states in rats, and non-surgical techniques using ultrasound and 3D printing are repairing tissues. Plus, Ric answers a question from a listener who is considering a corporate trustee for her new trust. While professional trustees can offer unbiased management, it's crucial to ensure that heirs can remove and replace them if necessary to maintain accountability.

9/26/24: 23% Cut in Social Security Benefits Starts in 2034 Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

The Congressional Budget Office now projects that the Social Security Trust Fund will be depleted by 2034, highlighting a critical and ongoing financial challenge. With benefits potentially cut by 23% for retirees, the need for Congress to address the sustainability of Social Security is urgent, particularly as many Americans rely on these benefits for their livelihoods. Plus, a listener's dilemma highlights the need to adapt investment strategies when transitioning from equities to cryptocurrencies, as the extreme volatility of crypto demands a different approach than traditional stock market rules.

9/24/24: An Impact of AI You Might Not Like Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

AI's rapid advancement is causing significant job cuts across major companies, with UPS, Google, and BlackRock among those impacted, raising concerns that it could automate 300 million full-time jobs globally by the decade's end. Despite potential benefits, over half of Fortune 500 companies view AI as a substantial risk, particularly in media and technology, where fears of competitive disadvantage and operational challenges loom large. And Ric answers a listener question about the future of investing in XT, bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as a vital next step, building on the success of the iShares Exponential Technologies ETF he launched in 2015, while connecting it to emerging technologies like AI.

9/19/24: The $10,000 Dorm Makeover Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

An interior designer specializing in college dorms, highlights a trend where students now spend an average of $10,000 on dorm furnishings—more than their tuition. This lavish spending contrasts sharply with the rising rates of grade inflation, where students achieve higher GPAs while studying less. The phenomenon raises concerns about entitlement in education and the potential long-term impacts on innovation and workforce readiness.
