There's been a surge in sports betting over the past few years and some studies suggest that there may be a link between gambling and stock market speculation. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow discuss the rise in speculative investing and the dangers that it can pose for your long-term financial security. Then, Dr. Wei Hu, vice president of financial research for Edelman Financial Engines, joins the conversation to discuss investment management strategies that can help build a solid financial foundation, especially when they’re part of an integrated approach to wealth management. Later, Jean interviews Dr. Rachel Volberg, a research professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, about the impact of legalized sports betting and gaming in general, as well as the warning signs that may indicate that someone has a gambling problem.



Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).

This show is pre-recorded, and any callers are prescreened.

Investing strategies, such as asset allocation, diversification or rebalancing, do not ensure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. All investments have inherent risks, including loss of principal. There are no guarantees that a portfolio employing these or any other strategy will outperform a portfolio that does not engage in such strategies. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
