T-Bill and Chill vs. Market Returns: A Game Film Analysis

\n

In this episode of the Thoughts on Money Podcast, the hosts Trevor Cummings, Sean Latimer, and Blaine Carver discuss the 'T Bill and Chill' investment strategy and its opportunity costs over the past two years compared to the stock market's performance. They draw parallels between reviewing investment game film and analyzing critical decisions in NFL football, notably the Seattle Seahawks' controversial play in the 2015 Super Bowl. The hosts argue for having a structured investment framework and using financial planning to enhance investment returns while managing risk tolerance and behavioral biases. They also underscore the importance of patience and long-term strategies in achieving significant financial rewards.
