Setting Your Financial Priorities

People often use commodities as a portfolio diversifier or a hedge against inflation, and while this can be true for some materials, commodities vary broadly so knowing what types to use can be a challenge. Nathan discusses how different commodities move in relation to the markets, and how to properly use them for diversification. Also, on our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History we discuss one of the earliest and most consequential financial bubbles of all time, the South Sea Bubble.

Diversifying with Commodities

AI has created a new frontier for identity theft and consumer fraud, and more and more people are finding unauthorized lines of credit opened in their name, which can be a credit killer and a nightmare to fix. Donna and Nathan discuss how freezing your credit as a preventative measure has become easier than ever, and a critical defense against these rapidly growing threats. Also, on MoneyTalk, what to do if you are made executor of an estate, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie.

Why You Should Freeze Your Credit

Things happen that are out of our control, and the IRS has added new flexibility into retirement account withdrawal rules to better accommodate those situations. Donna and Nathan explain how the rise in hardship withdrawals may be a signal that IRA rule flexibility is working against our collective retirement goals. Also on MoneyTalk, avoiding investor hindsight, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie.
