The future isn't foreseeable. Maybe foreguessable.

Dec 3

Once again it’s the time of year for all kinds of financial predictions, many painting a gloomy picture of the future. Tom and Don specifically discuss Neil Irwin’s latest New York Times piece and more generally why we should not believe in the predictive power of perceived “experts.” The future is NOT foreseeable, but at best ‘foreguessable,’ and taking what thought-leaders say as financial gospel can land you in hot water. From there, they pivot to a discussion on rebalancing and timing, explaining why now would be an excellent time to rebalance your portfolio. Finally, they end the show with a discussion on how to educate future generations about investing and all that would go into ensuring the youth are financially fit
