b"Episode 99 is a radio show format. We start discussing some of Meb\\u2019s \\u201cTweets of the Week.\\u201d The first involves a presentation from Rob Arnott at Research Affiliates, which Meb considered \\u201crequired reading for financial advisors everywhere.\\u201d It involves the amount of extra alpha you\\u2019d need to generate in order to offset taxes given various market approaches.\\nNext, we discuss another Tweet from Meb in which he asked readers to guess at the largest drawdown in US bonds in real terms between 1900 and 2010. Turns out, the majority of respondents were far off. Meb gives us the results and takeaways.\\nThen there\\u2019s a discussion of taxes in light of crypto gains (and losses). It seems lots of people may not be factoring tax payments into the equation. Not sure the IRS is going to look favorably on that\\u2026\\nWe then jump into listener Q&A. Some of the questions you\\u2019ll hear answered include:\\n\\nWhy should we listen to your podcast when you say the best ROI is to focus on skills directly benefiting our work performance?\\n\\nYou've said you'd like to invest in a farm REIT. But you've written about dividend investing as a suboptimal strategy. Can you reconcile these two apparently contradictory ideas?\\n\\nWhich asset class is going to shine 5 years from now?\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s the best strategy for folks with a limited selection of 401k funds?\\n\\nThere\\u2019s plenty more, including why Meb is still very bullish on emerging markets, the realities of mutual fund investing with fees/taxes included, and Meb\\u2019s upcoming travel plans.\\nCheck it all out in Episode 99.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
