Show Notes

What you will hear in this podcast:

  • I’m not anti-Wall Street! I love the Stock Market. It is my bright and shiny object, but it’s a game, and it’s a lot of educated gambling.

  • You should not be putting your entire portfolio in the stock market, in my opinion. You should put a part of it.

  • One of my favorite investments, and a favorite for my clients, is a very strong real estate portfolio.

  • If you want to create real wealth, you want every dollar to create simultaneous benefits.

  • Imagine that you own 10 homes, single-family residences, and you owned them outright? Do you think that might create a better-than-normal income for your family?

  • I’m all for renewable energy; I love it! Weak link - battery!

  • I have a very contrarian mindset. Look at what Warren Buffet is doing? Whenever everyone is fearful that’s when you should be greedy.

  • In my opinion, why would you have everything in the Stock Market when you can have true diversification that’s not correlated?

  • My wealthiest clients always start by dipping their toes in the water first. They can easily cut a big check, but when they get into a new investment, they always do the bare minimum.
