I've never gotten so much feedback on a recommendation I made. I've been hearing from a lot of listeners who took my advice and tuned into the podcast Our Thing, with Sammy the Bull Gravano. Sammy was a hitman for the mafia, working directly for John Gotti, doing stints with the Colombo and Gambino crime families. Sammy was a hitman, and also, paradoxically, a gentleman.

If you have equity compensation and are in an abnormally high-income tax year, it often makes sense to consider how you may be able to offset that pending tax liability. One way to mitigate the tax bill might be to give to charity. Giving to charity in a high-income tax year makes sense for several reasons. First and foremost, the high-income tax year might be the result of cashing out stock, giving you the cash flow necessary to make such a contribution.

U.S. stocks have compounded at an annual rate of 10.4% from 1926-today. If this was the only information you had, then there would be only one logical thing to do; Buy an index fund, and never, ever sell. Jeremy Siegel once said, "Fear has a far greater grasp on human action than the impressive weight of historical evidence." I think this is mostly right, but doesn't give enough consideration to the fact that bear markets really, really suck.

I’ve been writing about money for almost eleven years now, and in that time the world has become an immensely richer place. Here in the US, our economy has grown by about 25% even after inflation, world economic output has grown even faster, and the number of people living in extreme poverty has been cut roughly in half.

Risk management can be defined as the “process which aims to help organizations understand, evaluate and take action on all their risks with a view to increasing the probability of success and reducing the likelihood of failure” (Hopkin, 2010, p. 37). This is the definition made by the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), which also published ‘A Risk Management Standard’ (IRM, 2002), a guide that lays out a framework for managing risks.

It's one thing to study the past after it was written, it's another thing to experience it in real-time. Telling future generations about the lockdown cannot possibly convey what it was like to experience it. Looking back at how crazy the numbers got during the dotcom bubble is informative, but data doesn't tell the whole story. Luckily we have people like Corry Wang, who was working at Bernstein during the runup, to share some lessons he learned.

But if your closing rate is stuck or your pipeline feels like a revolving door… something has to change. Most advisors are just one small shift away from dramatically increasing their revenue. The difference?

In 2018, Research Affiliates wrote an article called CAPE Fear: Why CAPE Naysayers Are Wrong. One of the naysayers was yours truly. I tweeted that quote in July 2017, as the CAPE ratio crossed 30 for just the third time ever. The two other markets that saw such lofty valuations were 1929 and 2000. Gulp. To be very clear, at that time, I was in the "lower your return expectations camp" due to a combination of recent performance and high valuations.
