The Investor Coaching Show with Paul Winkler

What are financial advisors actually taught when they first enter the industry? Today, Paul, Evan, and Jim reflect on 25 years of “The Investor Coaching Show” and the attacks on 9/11, and share the advice Paul and Jim received early on as advisors that pushed them over the edge. Listen along as these advisors talk about the pressure to survive, sound like an expert, and use complicated language to win people over in their early years, and how many advisors who “made it” are the ones who figured out how to make investing feel complicated and sell the solution.

Christians want to be good stewards of their resources and make wise investing decisions. But Paul, Evan, and Jim point out three foundational problems with values-based funds: They can turn investing into speculation, their high turnover can resemble market timing, and the overlap among many of these funds suggests they may not be as diversified as advertised. Listen along to hear why assessing companies based on their values is unreliable and dangerous, and why evidence-based investing is stronger than value-based investing. 

 

Later in the episode, Evan talks about Nvidia, a company that is usually the largest in these value-based funds, and how they contribute to data centers. Paul discusses the pressure on companies to move data centers outside of the United States to other countries that do not share U.S. interests.

Today, Evan remembers the 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11, the week the stock market closed, and how this tragedy shows the true resilience of the stock market, the U.S. economy, and the American people. Evan reminds investors that confidence in your financial plan isn’t about being in the right place at the right time or being in the market during times of peace and stability. Confidence comes from knowing that people and industries always find a way to continue, no matter what’s going on in the news.

Prices are rising, and more people are wondering how long they can keep up. Today, Paul talks about a conversation with an investor who is genuinely concerned about how rising interest rates and inflation will affect both the economy and his spending power. Listen along as Paul explains why most inflation investment strategies introduce risk and miss out on the greatest inflation hedge of the last 100 years: equities. Paul goes on to explain that when you own companies that raise prices and are still required to deliver profits to their shareholders, your portfolio is positioned to provide income regardless of inflation rates.

A lot of questionable advice about 401(k)s has been making the rounds lately, and Paul and Evan break down where some of it goes wrong. They explain how your workplace retirement plan is an important part of your overall strategy — and why blindly following the latest Roth conversion craze can create problems that aren't easy to see. Listen along as they explain how confident investors coordinate their 401(k)s with a broader plan, rather than ignoring it or trying to make it do all the work.
