  • Episode #13: How Do The Stock Markets Perform During Election Years

    I've been in this business for 12 years, and I've worked with clients from all walks of life. Both in terms of wealth, and in terms of age. With that said, I've noticed that I get similar questions from many of my clients regardless of their situations. 

    In today's episode, I'm introducing a new segment into the show. I hope you like it!

  • Episode #11: Derick Boyd - Rewriting The Narrative In The African-American Community

    Derick's resume is loaded. He has 2 Masters degrees. He is currently working on his PhD, is the father of a new baby girl, and the founder of For You The Culture, a non-profit whose mission is to "rewrite the narrative of the African-American Community."

    Derick & I get into some uncomfortable, but necessary discussions about his views on the African-American culture and what he feels needs to change.

    Derick is not just attempting to rewrite the narrative, he is living it out as an example for others to see. He is a fantastic role model and a great ambassador for Peoria Illinois.  

    I came away from this interview very impressed by this young man, and I have little doubt that you will too.

  • Episode #10: If the President Gets Impeached, Is the Stock Market Going To Crash?

    One the hot topics right now, both on Capital Hill and on Wall Street, is a possible Presidential impeachment. 

    This show WILL NOT be an analysis of the political situation at the White House and in Congress, but rather a look back at historical Presidential impeachments and how the stock markets performed during the proceedings. 

    Full disclosure, the sample size is pretty small. There isn't much to really go off of, but I feel it's important to look back at the Clinton, Nixon and Andrew Johnson impeachment processes anyway. Hopefully we can gain some knowledge from history to better navigate today's possible Trump impeachment. 

    Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts! It helps the growth of this show tremendously.

  • Episode #9: How To Properly Analyze And Select A Mutual Fund

    When considering buying a mutual fund, or any investment for that matter, it's important analyze them properly. Factors such as fees, risk and tax efficiency should come into play when making a decision to buy an investment or not. However, when it comes to mutual funds, comparing a them to a benchmark (such as the S&P500 index or a Dow Jones Index, for example) should come into the equation, as well. Not just any benchmark though, it should be the PROPER benchmark. 

    You don't compare the gas mileage of a massive pickup truck, to a Toyota Prius, right? The same concept applies here.

    You generally won't get the info you desire by comparing a high-risk mutual fund to a low-risk benchmark. It just doesn't work that way. 

    I wrote a blog post about this back in June, but today, I rant about it.

    As always, reach out to me if you have any thoughts about the show, or have personal finance questions!

  • Episode #8: What Is The Stock Market? How Does It Work?

    In my 12 years as a Financial Planner, I've been asked many questions about the "stock market." It's a term that gets used quite often, but it rarely gets defined. I thought I'd take an opportunity to get back to the basics of investing and personal finance. 

    In this episode we go over what the stock market actually is, what the S&P 500 is, and what the Dow Jones Industrial Average is. 

    If you like the show thus far, please leave a review below. I truly appreciate it and it greatly helps the show's growth.
