The Investor Coaching Show with Paul Winkler

Watch Out: Mortgages That Last Longer Than the House

Imagine your house falling apart before your mortgage is even up. Unfortunately, this could become a reality for many homeowners. Homes are being built faster, bigger, and with lower-quality materials than they were 50 years ago. Today, Paul shares the devastating consequences when builders cut corners using materials and methods that aren’t built to last and homeowners don’t do their due diligence. Later in the episode, Paul does the work for you and looks through the disclosures Yrefy hides at the end of their TV ad. The disclosures clearly state that the investments are high-risk and untradeable, and liquidity is not guaranteed — even though the ad says otherwise. Paul warns, “Read the fine print yourself.” You won’t regret it.

Edward Jones Head of Investment Strategy Encourages Investors to … Market Time

Today, Paul shares an interview with the Edward Jones head of investment strategy, where she’s pressed about the lackluster performance of the area of the market most of their investors are in: large U.S. companies. She finally admits that they are still “feeling good” about the U.S. economy, but now might be a good time to consider diversifying in smaller companies and international companies. Paul and Evan are pretty shocked that a Harvard Business School graduate, who helps millions of investors, would so blatantly tell investors to buy based on past performance and then call it diversification.
