Mike Savage, Managing Director & Portfolio Strategist at Charles Schwab, joins us in studio to discuss the unique behaviors of Millennial investors, including why Millennials view ETFs as the future building blocks of portfolios.  Nate and Jason also offer five ETFs for Millennial investors to consider.

ETFs have been called the next generation mutual funds.  What are ETFs, how exactly do they compare to mutual funds, and how do you select the right ones for your portfolio?  Nate, Conor, & Jason explain the basics and offer some helpful tips.

With yet another mutual fund giant making the leap into ETFs, we explain how investors are reaping the rewards. We also walk through fund fee basics and AlphaClone’s Maz Jadallah & Brad Bredemann spotlight the AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ETF (ALFA).

Oil continues to play a major role in the financial markets, economy, and even politics.  Matt Smith, Director of Commodity Research at ClipperData joins us to discuss the unique dynamics of the oil market.  Van Eck Global’s Brandon Rakszawski also spotlights two oil-related Market Vectors ETFs.

With cash outperforming both stocks and bonds for the first time since 1990, we continue last week’s conversation on the merits of alternative investment options.  Plus, IndexIQ’s Executive V.P. & Chief Portfolio Strategist, Kevin DiSano, spotlights hedge fund replication and currency hedged ETFs.
