Don and Tom provide “real” financial advice. The information is logical and sound. Everyone should invest all their serious money according to the allocations and avenues they suggest. If you want to buy individual stocks only do it with money you are ok losing...just like playing a hand of blackjack or betting on a game. I asked a question on their website and it was answered thoughtfully on the air within a week. Really glad I found this podcast and will be telling family and friends about it. Keep up the great work guys. I listen everyday when I’m driving for work.
This is a podcast that makes sense and the information provided rings true. There is SO much financial noise out there that having something clear like talking real money is refreshing and very helpful. Thanks
Looking for a simplified solution to invest your retirement money? This is the podcast to listen to and not worry about choosing the wrong investments. Great qualified advice from Tom and Don with many years of experience. They make it easy so even those without any knowledge or desire to spend hours of time researching which mutual funds to select, they will provide you with simple inexpensive funds to give you a well diversified portfolio. Only wish I would have discovered them years ago - it would have saved me some costly mistakes.
I’ve been listening to these guys for a while now and thoroughly impressed by the advice they give. Sensible, actionable thoughts that just about anybody can implement for long-term success. Definitely recommend.
I’ve been listening for a few years now once/twice per week. I’m now at the point that I can predict their answers to questions (well, the easier ones) and this has better prepared me with my portfolio decisions. I bought the Blueprint snapshot and loved the analysis/advice. I made a few adjustments out of the session. I highly recommend this podcast and look forward to more. Keep up the good work.
Tom and Don are looking out for individual investors and give great advice. If you are a day trader you won’t like this podcast because this podcast is for investors not gamblers.
This is my favorite podcast by far and is without question the best investing podcast in the world! Great advice and very entertaining at the same time! I have learned so much listening to Tom and Don. Great job guys!
I listen to this show everyday. Don and Tom are pretty funny and offer great advice. You can tell that they genuinely care about helping people invest in the safest manner.
That is what Don brings to the discussion. He is a sensible, intelligent and reasonable advisor. I find his insights o be reassuring, practical and wise. None better. If you have found this guy you are lucky indeed. Listen, learn and prosper.
Don and Tom do great job of keeping investing simple and calling out the frauds. If someone is looking for a podcast that gives investors the best chance of future success - this is it. Their advice is not based on hot tips or forecasts - but on proven academic research (evidence based investing). This is one of my go to podcasts.
If you want to understand how to invest start here. Don and Tom make it easy to get up to speed with everything you need to know. The path they lay out is easy to understand and takes very little time and effort. Low effort, low drama. If you already know how to invest you will enjoy the banter and will still learn from their valuable insights.
