Not If, But When

2024/03/28

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3vzmbWHThe stock market has quite the win streak going. I submit that this in itself should not concern investors, but it is something investors should be aware of. Markets are indeed unpredictable, and markets are multi-directional. Sometimes win streaks can lull us to sleep allowing us to forget that markets are… multi-directional. Join me today as I discuss this current win streak, kids on roller coasters, and the importance of healthy

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3Tr9Ag4If you know me, you know I love cycling. If you know me, you know I love personal finance. Today was a treat for me, as our author Blaine Carver allowed my two favorite topics and hobbies to collide. Today, cycling meets financial planning in order to explain the importance of recognizing the drag taxes can have on returns. Furthermore, Blaine explains to us the necessary planning we can do to combat that drag. Without spoiling all fun of the

Leverage: Amplifying Outcomes

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2024/03/08

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3uQ2RnSLeverage is debt. Is leverage good or bad? Neither. As is applicable to most things, leverage can be prudent in some cases and it can be misused in others. Debt can allow us to enjoy something today, while we stretch the cost over a defined time period. Debt can also be the culprit behind many stories of financial ruin. Join us today as James Andrews unpacks the dos and don’ts and ins and outs of leverage. Links mentioned in this

When You Don't Get What You Pay For

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2024/03/01

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3P61dFnWhen stock prices (valuations) feel stretched, it can be a bit scary. Elevated market prices can lead to high peaks, which precede deep valleys (drawdowns). So, when euphoria starts to become contagious, it’s important to steep ourselves in the lessons of history. I will unpack all of this and more as we introduce today’s topic with a comical Girls Scout cookie fiasco that took place last week. You won’t want to miss it. Links mentioned in

Gone Fishing

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2024/02/02

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/42rcKV3 Often, we are our own worst enemies. To grow/mature as an investor, it is helpful to watch game film to slow down, reflect, and understand how things played out last year. Please join me as I unpack why the markets in 2023 were a lot like fishing. I will also conclude with some guidance on why (1) constantly refining your process and (2) controlling your emotions are such a key to long-term wealth accumulation. Links mentioned in this

What is Risk Anyway?

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2024/01/26

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/429YLTH What is Risk? Seems like quite a philosophical question, no? Yet, one we must wrestle with when it comes to investing. A misunderstanding of risk can be costly. Blaine Carver uses this analogy, and I think it’s perfect: We need to adjust our financial binoculars. We need to focus less on the blurred foreground and more on the horizon. The short-term gyrations in the market are anything but clear. But focusing on the horizon (10, 20, 30 years from

The Power of Simplicity

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2024/01/12

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3RXvTZY The temptation to overcomplicate wealth management in the name of sophistication is strong. Financial advisors are especially prone to fall into this category as we seek to add value to our clients. I encourage our readers to focus on the north star, not to be pulled away by the clever gimmicks that pop up every year, and to exercise discipline in our process. I encourage our readers to build wealth that withstands the test of time so that many

A New Who

2024/01/05

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3tDVijt Last week, we discussed the short life spans of New Year’s Resolutions. Blaine Carver offered some simple and profound wisdom around setting goals first by defining WHO you aspire to be prior to defining WHAT specifically you plan to do. This is a great segue for our dialogue today on what are the key attributes and/or traits of a successful investor? This question gets me to an article for you on WHO you should aspire to be as an investor. I hope

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3H0IPt9 Today Blaine Carver shares his Thoughts On Money. We know that gyms and juice bars will be as busy as ever in January; why? New Year’s Resolutions! Yet, come February those trends tend to normalize as resolutions are ditched and old habits return. Some of us have become disenchanted with these resolutions because we know historically these commitments fade and fail. I’d encourage you to dive into Blaine’s article today, as he will share more

Returns of a Jedi

2023/12/22

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3RBuYOT Yoda tells the young Jedi, Luke Skywalker, “Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.” I can’t think of a better piece of wisdom for investors, both young and old. When you start to be drawn in by the seductive results of unsustainable returns, you have set a course to the dark side, a path to financial ruin.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/47WPz7e Today we welcome back James Andrews to share his Thoughts On Money. I won’t spoil it, but the opening story alone is worth a read. James goes on to talk about decision making and the importance of thinking beyond just the initial benefits or consequences. Whether it is a rippling pond or a tipped over domino, we get this idea that one decision can set off a chain reaction of other intended or unintended outcomes. Links mentioned in this

Distracted by the What

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/12/08

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3sZxIgP Today we will discuss the importance of understanding the why behind the what. Too many financial decisions are made in a manner where the action gets more attention than the intent. Understanding the why is one of the keys to financial success. To unpack this truth I will share some funny stories, including one from my childhood – you won’t want to miss it. Please do join me today for my Thoughts on Money. Links mentioned in this

A Capitulation Situation

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/47gGZj8 Growing up, it’s normal to dream about your future. As we grow up, our career aspirations shift, morph, and evolve. Perhaps in 3rd grade, you dreamed of being an astronaut. By 5th grade, you settled on being a pro baseball player, and by college, you find yourself two years into an art history major when your dad nudges you to pivot to something more practical. In these years of maturation, it is totally normal and probably healthy to leave your

When it Hits Close to Home

Thoughts On Money [TOM] ·

2023/11/03

This week's blogpost - Have you ever attended a walk for breast cancer? Or perhaps a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research? A discussion with almost any attendee will lead to a conversation about how this disease or cause hits close to home for them. Whether it’s their own battle or that of a loved one, you can connect the dots from their passion to their support. Our experiences can drive our beliefs and behaviors. Last week my wife got in a car accident. I’ll be upfront, it was a fender bender,
