My favourite hot takes from this episode... 🤖the Fed can be automated 💲everyone is over allocating to US stocks 💣you SHOULD own crypto (*but how much?) 📈how much you save > everything else

[@DYRHodaMehr]

Meb’s logical approach to investing and focusing on facts is so practical and, surprisingly, uncommon.

[@worldofdaas]

Your tendency to interrupt your guest at every single question makes this interview basically unlistenable. Very unfortunate.

[@airbourne2]

Yes, bonds have been bad but the stocks (VOO) have averaged +12.65% per year over the last 10 years! What matters is the whole portfolio.

[@vt96]

The analogy of junk in garage to assets is foolish. Some assets don’t generate income but ALL junk in garage don’t generate income. Take XOM, its revenue increases every decades. Now after becoming bigger, does it suddenly stops selling oil in future decades? So under what circumstances do you sell or scale back your XOM holdings? Do you sell based on company fundamentals or do you sell because of your individual circumstances?

[@paulgilliland2992]

Quit calling retirees pensioners. This is not the UK.

[@the_investor9836]

Except in the video they were referring to actual pensioners lol

[@pawansbali]

Didn't get even one take away point from the whole conversation. 💯% Avoidable.

[@vjrevankar346]

I think the title is the take away point... the host should have been more focused in the Interview

[@johnbrown1851]

One take away is to own a good portion of international stocks, not just stocks from your own country.

[@richardbowen3257]

I love Meb this is a great dump of all his advice.

[@worldofdaas]
