"The Four Most Dangerous Words in Investing Are: This Time It's Different." Sir John Templeton

With the 2020 Presidential Election only TWO weeks away, we have heard the phrase "This Time It's Different". With this phrase, comes uncertainty regarding politics, the future of our country, and the economy. However, one thing is absolutely certain, market VOLATILITY.

In today's podcast, Brett and Brian discuss the difference between RISK(permanent loss of capital) and VOLATILITY (being forced to sell assets at a lower price than you originally started)AND what YOU can do to defend yourself against both.

Do you have a Roth IRA? Do you have Automatic Contributions set up? Don't miss their discussion on the opportunities these two simple things provide.

There are two fundamental truths about the market.

1. Price declines are temporary

2. The value of great businesses rise when these declines occur

In today’s podcast we discuss those two important truths. We discuss two very different companies and how the value of their businesses have risen despite the bear market.

The information should get you thinking a little different the next time a bear market occurs. What the media focuses is often times wrong.

Bonds are known to be less risky than equities, however, this is not true. If you look at the long-term, as we do, bonds are a riskier investment and the odds of losing money are far greater in bonds than stocks. Do we own bonds, yes, but it is for a particular reason.

Brett and Brian will explain why bonds are risky and in what circumstances you will want to own them.

The stock market has roared back the last month despite horrible news. The current sentiment in the market is overwhelmingly bearish.

Almost everyone we hear on T.V. and talk to believes the market is going to fall.

So, should we wait for the market to bottom before buying more stocks?

That is the topic of the day. After a 30+% positive market move, should we wait to put more money to work?

In today’s podcast we talk about timing the market, the risk/reward of putting more money to work right now, and much more (including Michael Jordan destroying our dreams!).
