b"Just a few more days until the new year! We're keeping our countdown going strong with one of America's original big-time investors: Abigail Adams. You can read our original show notes below: \\nAs Women\\u2019s History Month draws to a close we suddenly realize\\u2026.we\\u2019ve done nothing to celebrate! Today on the show we make up for that (\\u2018in spades,\\u201d as mom says) by inviting down to the basement professor Woody Holton, author of the book Abigail Adams, for which he won the Bambridge Award and more. He\\u2019ll describe the amazing prowess of Adams in a time when many women not only weren\\u2019t investing, but weren\\u2019t even allowed to participate in their family\\u2019s financial plan. He\\u2019ll describe which investments she preferred, why she decided against real estate didn\\u2019t work for her portfolio, and how she created an estate plan for herself in a time when many women didn\\u2019t have that luxury.\\nIn our headlines segment, we\\u2019ll talk to Jamie Wise from the BUZZ Index (ticker BUZ). He\\u2019ll describe why his strategy and those of some of his algorithm-based competitors seem to be winning in this time of volatility. He\\u2019ll also share some of the names that the crowds on social media are focusing on to ride the choppy market. Also, with the financial markets all over the place, we\\u2019ll review a story from Marketwatch that asks whether the market will crash, and if it will, what you should do to buckle up. The advice might surprise you, if you\\u2019re looking for ways to exit stage left, or are looking for advice that tells you how to exit stage left\\u2026.or right.\\nWe\\u2019ll of course have more from the world of financial planning, throw out the Haven Life line to lucky listener Nelson, who\\u2019s worried about his parents\\u2019 financial plan. They have an insurance-company based financial advisor, so Nelson thinks that they should move to different advice. How does he approach the topic with his parents? We also score some of Doug\\u2019s spinach-based trivia, and more. Enjoy!\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices"
