Bitcoin price has gone higher. Recently Bitcoin hit a price of $87,000. Almost ONE year ago, Bitcoin was $126,000! I believe Bitcoin is going to $150,000 or higher. I just don't know WHEN! 

How is inflation eroding the purchasing power of your money? WHAT causes inflation? How as investors, do we OVERCOME the TRUE rate of inflation with our investments? 

Roth conversions can be a HUGE help to get a bigger pile of money/assets INTO our ROTH IRA accounts. I strive to have as many DIVIDEND producing assets as possible INSIDE of my Roth IRA accounts. Why? Answer: Because dividends withdrawn from a Roth IRA (as long you meet two conditions) are 100% TAX FREE!!!! You pay ZERO tax!! 

We also discuss "global arbitrage" in retirement. Groceries and rent (housing) cost less in certain parts of the world! It's cheaper to live, it's easier to live comfortably if you are willing to relocate.

Season 3, Episode #46. Not Me, But You! Podcast. 

CLM annual rights offering. N-2 filing in August 2026. This update is for Cornerstone funds CLM and CRF. These are closed end funds. The fund is going to do an "annual rights offering" sometime in 2026. This event will likely affect share price causing it to drop. 

I discuss how I am going to benefit from this anticipated drop in price (NAV) and I explain WHAT an "annual rights offering" is. We also discuss a special feature that both CLM and CRF have outside of the annual rights offering that can affect re-investing. This information is time sensitive. But IF I had missed it this year in 2026, I would benefit from knowing about annual rights offerings for future years. 

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

Season 3 Episode #45. Not Me, But You! Podcast. 

AI = Artificial Intelligence. It can be simple to invest in order to benefit from AI upside in the stock market. I don't attempt to select individual companies that will be "the next big thing" in the AI space and are "set to blow up."  Instead I invest in broader funds that will capture profit. I provide specific examples. 

In review, interest rates we earn on our money are extremely important. One of my main goals as an investor is to outpace the true rate of inflation. I discuss how I accomplish that. 

I discuss retirement, pathways toward retirement and financial independence. It's possible to become wealthy, over time simply by pushing buttons on your phone. Complicated math is not needed nor is extreme technical knowledge in order to evaluate investments. 

As always, investing is a personal choice that no one can make for you. We all need to do our own research (which again doesn't have to be complicated) and then we all need to accept responsibility for the money we choose to invest and the outcomes of those investments. 

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

Season 3, Episode #44. Not Me, But You! Podcast. 

Not Me, But You! coming soon to YouTube!  Precious mettles like Gold/Silver can be useful in a financial portofolio in my opinion. This is NOT financial advice. Do you own "certificates?" or the actual gold/silver metal? If you own the actual metal in what secure place do you store the metal? Transporting the metal can be cumbersome and problematic. 

Precious metals like Gold/Silver can be a good hedge against inflation and "money debasement." But HOW you invest and HOW you buy it can make a difference. Do you dollar cost average with freqent purchases? This is the method I would use. Now you are holding the asset (precious metal) and hoping the price goes up so you can sell and lock in some profit. It'a a buy/hold opportunity. Precious metals do NOT pay dividends typicaly. 

What about Bitcoin? I discuss a side-by-side comparison of precious metals (specifically gold) as compared to Bitcoin for an investor who bought both starting in January 2010. This "investor" does NOT likely exist on planet earth. Why? That is part of what we discuss. There were challenges in 2010 especially with Bitcoin. 

If you bought gold you would have had to held it through 2024 when the price went up significantly. With Bitcoin, we can look forward to a new all time high price about every 4 years. One primary features of Bitcoin, as an asset, is that it has a FIXED supply. 

Why invest at all? Answer: because your money is buying less and less EACH year! Our main goal as investors: is to OUTPACE the TRUE rate of inflation. Not the reported inflation numbers. Do you buy groceries, or fuel? Just look at how costs have gone up dramatically since Covid! 

I utilize the power of consistentcy...rinsing/repeating to work to my advantage over time.

Season 3, Episode #42. Not Me, But You! Podcast. 

We discuss the Dow Jones, S & P 500 and the Nasdaq. We compare/contract growth investments vs. income (dividend) investments.  We discuss investments like Bitcoin, MSTR, MSTY, ULTY and I offer thoughts on those investments. But these are my personal opinions. Not financial advice. 

We also talk about "price targets." How do you know WHEN an investments is "on sale" and a potentially good time to buy?? I cover my "Litmus Test" that I utilize when evaluating whether I want to invest or not. 

Knowlege is POTENTIAL power per Tony Robbins! We also cover Tesla and Space X stocks. Far too often, investors play "the Look Back" game, which is a complete waste of time!

We have an honest discussion of Magnificent 7 stocks...what the cost of one share is and how likely it is that we will become wealthy based on growth stocks alone. 

Compared to dividend/income stocks which pay us money every week/every month/every 3 months. 

We discss Roth conversions: where we can move cash/assets FROM our Traditional IRA into our ROTH IRA! We are NOT limited in the AMOUNT of money/assets we can move in this manner! Roth conversions are SEPARATE from our yearly CONTRIBUTION limits that we can add to our Roth IRA each year. 

The interest rate we earn on our money is CRUCIALLY important. Are you aware that the dividend yield of MOST Mag 7 stocks is LESS than 1% per year!! 

Have courage today to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

We discuss the story of (parable) of The Good Samaritan found in the book of Luke in the New Testament in the Bible. I relate this story to like in 2026 and how we can use wealth to help others. 

We also discuss some Tony Robbins quotes.  My family and enjoy traveling because we are focussed on collecting memories and not things. 

The Summer season tends to "suck" for the stock market and investing. I talk about how I was wrong about the 2026 stock market and how I was wrong about how Bitcoin would peform in 2026. 

Use the free website, Stock Analysis dot com to research investments quickly. Check the rate of return or ROI(return on investment). We need to pay very close attention to the interest rate that we earn on our money. Accepting a "low" interest rate will cost us money. We won't make as much. 

What percentage do you pay to the bank that issues your credit card if you don't pay off the balance each month? 

I will be starting a NEW Youtube channel with the same name as this podcast. Coming soon!
