Who is your favorite MAINSTREAM financial person? No religion and preferably no politics. I need to have someine to recommend when people ask me for a recommendation. I liked Dave Ramsey, but the show has just gotten too damn toxic for me.

I recommend Brian Preston, The Money Guy. Zero politics, non judgemental, and he offers sound advice that applies to 87% of Americans.

They all suck.
You can get all the personal finance advice you need to fit on a single index card and you'd be fine. Issue is nobody wants to follow the index card because they all think they work too hard and deserve special treatment. Personal finance isn't about math. It's really just discipline. It's a behavior problem, not because it's a mythical topic to master. |

View Quote I learned early on to not bother giving someone personal finance advice. They literally never follow it. We used to give out copies of Total Money Makeover and Financial Peace. I never liked DR's show. But his books are decent enough. I don't agree with the debt snowball from a financial POV but his argument is that people are having behavior issues and the snowball figures that intonthr equation. He later released the debt avalanche which address it. |

I like Charles Payne. He's nice to listen to in the truck.
But, I don't care what any of the talking heads say. |

I don't have one. It would be nice, I remember back in the day some people I listened to. Seems like things have changed, however.

Tell them to watch CNBC…but not to pay any attention to Jim Cramer….and, ironically, the rampant liberalism.
In addition to constantly interviewing industry experts, they have a handful of “empaneled” regulars who, for the most part, are pretty good. It doesn’t take long to determine which ones are doomers, which are eternal optimists and who is worth listening to. Watch, learn, listen to the ones who make sense/cents to you. |

How? They generally have returns greater than the large caps and are less risky than small caps. I've been underwhelmed with Mid-Cap stocks for some time. I'm not saying that what your saying isn't true historically, but the moves towards consolidation at the highest levels along with logistical chain advantages that larger companies have has pushed large caps into the best performing asset class post 08. I've been hearing for years that THIS is the year mid cap out paces large cap, and it just hasn't happened. Even this year my mid cap fund only BRIEFLY outpaced the S&P 500 and its one of the top midcap funds this year. I WANT there to be more competition, but without breaking up a lot of the big players it's going to be a challenge for smaller companies to truly break out as a whole. |

View Quote In tgg be e li g run, mid caps occupy the sweet spot. Currently: the AI, chip and Big Tech aberrations are distorting what normal looks like. Just look at everyone’s go to, the vaunted S&P500: the other 493 stock in the index are dragging The Mag 7 (even including AAPK and TSLA) down. |

You can find these two on U-toob Danielle DiMartino Booth, Masters in Economics who spend seven years at the Dallas Fed before getting her PhD and author of Fed Up. Nomi Prins - author of several books including All The Presidents' Bankers and It Takes A Pillage and several other books. I don't know how often he shows up if at all on the MSM, but Jim Rickards is very good too and I have his books. Recommended reading: Karl Denninger's Leverage. Adam Ferguson's While Money Dies. Remind your friends of this: The stock market is not an indication of the strength of the economy. Apart from the Presidential Working Group on Financial Matters (aka: Plunge Protection Team), it's buoyed with newly created cash from the Fed Res (brrrrrrrrr! ----- it allows for stock buyback and it's the last sale price that makes all other shares go up concurrently) and goes towards perception management (I'm richer on paper! I'm richer on paper!). While reality is important, perception of reality is what people respond to. |
