INVESTOR IN THE FAMILY Radio

Mark Hibben is one of my favorite tech experts when it comes to investing. Especially when it comes to Apple.

In this interview we dive in to the upcoming September 7th Apple event and what we should expect out of the new iPhone 7.

We also spend a few minutes addressing the EU tax decision and whether it really makes any difference to Apple.

A few highlights:

• Is Apple the bad guy when it comes to the tax decision?
• Is there any chance Apple will actually ever pay anything as a result of the decision?
• What changes should we expect in regard to the iPhone 7 case and antennas?
• What kind of screen upgrade will we most likely see?
• What big changes are planned regarding the headphone jack and why should anyone care?

100 Baggers Book

How many investing related emails are in your inbox right now?

How many tabs on your browser do you have opened to an investing article that you really want to read?

I have a subscriptions to the WSJ and as a result have a rain forest worth of paper piled on my office floor. Add to that The Economist and Bloomberg/Businessweek. I subscribe to all these because in my opinion they are some of the best sources of news available. But what's the goal?

Pick something you want to become at as investor or pick a classic investing book that you want to read. Then, actually plan the reading into your schedule. Identify quadrant 3 activities in your day and over rule them with life-giving quadrant 2 activities.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the show.

Jesse Moore comes out of the oil industry (upstream, midstream, and downstream) and brings with it special insights that help him as an investor.

Recently, he wrote about whether Tesla's autonomous vehicle program is a self-defeating business model and I wanted to sit down learn more about his thesis and thoughts.

He also wrote about how the first trillionaire will make their money and how space elevators will help. We talk about that as well.

Some hightlights:

• Is Tesla's autonomous car program a self-defeating business model?
• Do we really understand the mechanics of vehicle utilization rates?
• Google versus Tesla and the safety of autonomous cars.
• How significant of a role will autonomous vehicles really play?
• How long will it take for them to take hold (assuming they do)?
• Why teenagers don't want to drive.
• What will happen to gas prices if electric vehicles significantly impact oil demand?
• Does $30 oil make electric cars a losing proposition?
• How close are we to asteroid mining and why should anyone care?

I hope you enjoy the interview.

Ralph Baker is known on Seeking Alpha as "Shock Exchange," a name he derives from his youth mentorship program that teaches investment management skills and competitive basketball skills.

Ralph started learning to invest in the 5th grade when his dad gave him a copy of the WSJ and started quizzing him on it. Since then, he has spent decades in the M&A space. When it came time to teach his kids about investing, he decided to include the community and his youth program was born.

If Ralph can teach kids to invest (who went on to predict the Great Recession), I'm convinced he can teach us as well.
