  • In this episode, Chad joins Rob Black and dives into key financial market trends, including a recap of December's performance where the S&P 500 dropped, and bonds fell. Chad discusses high expectations for Q4 2024 earnings growth, the elevated forward P/E ratio for the S&P 500, and the unprecedented concentration of 10 companies comprising 39% of the S&P 500 index. Chad explores retirement portfolio strategies, emphasizing long-term planning, diversification between asset classes, and careful repositioning for those nearing retirement. He provides advice on managing windfalls, highlighting the benefits of dollar-cost averaging, individual tax-free bonds, and direct indexing, while also examining the role and risks of alternative investments such as private REITs, private credit, and private equity. The episode concludes with an analysis of California rental properties amid rising insurance challenges, detailing stringent requirements for coverage, the limitations of the FAIR plan, and the potential advantages of 1031 exchanges for property owners reassessing their investments.
