No today's episode of the Financial Procast is not really sponsored by Apple, but if you listen closely you'll get the joke. All I can say is thank goodness for the amazing battery life of my Macbook Pro Retina. We were able to record this hour long podcast with me only having about 25% of the […]

In episode 158 we were truly given the gift of awesome topics to discuss and we even get to reference some commentary from one of our favorite economists/financial commentators, Robert Shiller. Today we're discussing what Dr. Shiller thinks investors can expect in regard to asset returns moving forward, the rise of “roboadvisers” (and their insane […]

Well, we're back after I was gone on a little vacation last week. I know that many of regular listeners were shocked that we didn't release an episode last week as it is customary for us to do so even when one of us is away. Alas, life happened and we weren't able to record […]

Well, today's episode takes us back to our normal format where we scoured the interwebs looking for stories that we think would interest our community and that we could pontificate on for more than a minute or two.

So, we don't have a neatly organized show for you today. Instead, […]

We had a couple of thin topics to start off today's episode but not to worry…the last two topics carried us and we had plenty to say about those things. It seems talking about 401k's and picking on government officials is always good fodder. Be sure you tune in to the bit on Roth IRA […]

No doubt we are humbled that anyone listens to […]
