Sound Retirement Radio - 421 Will The Stock Market Crash In 2024?
play

01/02/24 • 11 min

One of my clients recently forwarded an article with the headline that reads "US economist predicts 2024 will bring "Biggest crash of our lifetime".

Here is a quote from the article "This is the one time I'm telling you, do not listen to your financial adviser. Things are not going to come back to normal in a few years. We may never see these levels again. And this crash is not going to be a correction. It's going to be more in the '29 to '32 level. And anybody who sat through that would have shot their stockbroker."

Unfortunately, when these types of articles are published it can cause people to worry and question both their financial plan and their investment strategy.

play

11/14/23 • 30 min

In this podcast episode, I will provide compelling reasons for you to seriously consider the benefits of hiring a financial advisor. Why it is important to avoid high fees and commissions. To comprehend the potential value that advisors can offer, we examine studies conducted by Canada, Vanguard, Morningstar, and Envestnet PMC. Hiring a financial advisor can bring peace of mind, as it helps us uncover the unknowns we didn't even realize existed. Hiring a financial advisor can provide valuable assistance in various aspects of your financial planning. They can help you create a comprehensive retirement plan, guide you in asset allocation and risk management, assist with investment management, cash-flow planning, and income sourcing. Additionally, they can offer expertise in tax planning, charitable giving strategies, and estate planning concepts. A financial advisor can also provide behavioral coaching to help you make informed decisions. After listening to today's podcast, I hope that many of you will consider exploring the benefits of working with a financial advisor to optimize your financial well-being.

Sound Retirement Radio - 413 Chapter 8 Investing

413 Chapter 8 Investing

Sound Retirement Radio

play

10/17/23 • 36 min

In Chapter 8, we dive into investing strategies. I spend the first couple of pages of this chapter talking about diversification of your money across time segments, often called buckets. Since the publication of this book I have completed some additional back testing of a bucket strategy using a bucket simulator that one of our RBC community members developed and which you have access to. One of the things I was attempting to do in the buckets backtest was to simplify buckets by spending them sequentially rather than having refill rules. In this chapter I discuss bucket refills but after doing additional research on spending sequentially I don't think the refill rules are necessary. When you watch the video you will see that this approach of diversification works very well when compared with a 60/40 stock bond mix that is rebalanced each year. At least it works really well in the context of history. As I often remind the people we serve. History is a guide, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you are interested in watching the video I will include a link at Sound Retirement Planning.com so that you can see how a bucket strategy performed and I will also provide some links so that you can do you own bucket backtesting. After the discussion on buckets I get into the art and science of investing and we discuss both strategic asset allocation as well as tactical investment management.
