Reality Radio for a really great future. We're talking real money. Oh, give me a show. A show almost every day of the week, and I'm a happy camper. There's no place I'd rather be. Ah, another Q&A. I'm so excited. I think I've got some good

0:25.6

ones for you today. I've, uh, I've just, just finished going through them. I, again, I do, I check

0:32.7

them out the day I do the podcast. Uh, I don't have a lot of prep time. You know, I got a little bit. I can look at a few things. But I like it being fresh. Which means I, you know, I don't always get it perfectly correct. Not all the time. Sometimes I have to clean things up a little bit. But I like the freshness of it. It's as if you're actually calling, which you actually do.

0:56.7

You just don't do it live like we do on Saturdays from 3 to 5 Eastern at the radio show.

1:02.8

But you can call us any time at 855935-935 Talk, 8559358255.

1:08.5

Or you can call us on Saturdays on the radio show and we can talk, have a conversation.

1:13.5

1:32.5

So it's a broader sense of the word.

1:34.3

People can call us, you can call us your people at talking real money.com using the mic on your computer, which most of the time actually sounds pretty good.

1:45.2

There's one instance today where it doesn't, but I'll fix that a little bit in post.

1:51.3

So, oh, and by the way, I'm your calm host, Don McDonald.

1:58.9

You'll know what I'm talking about in just a bit on the show.

2:03.2

So shall we just, yes, we should.

2:04.8

We should just get started with questions.

2:06.9

Every one of which, by the way, comes in from talking realmoney.com on the contact form

2:14.4

where you push the button and you record a question, which sounds usually good except for this one.

2:20.4

Hi, Tom and Don. Love your podcast. This is Brooklyn here from King of Prussia, PA. And I'm very new to the personal finance and investing space. I've been learning a lot for my partner, and he introduced me to your

2:35.4

podcast, Investory. So my question is, I was listening to another podcast, and the discussion was

2:43.1

on investment advisors and portfolio management. The portfolio of discussion is split across bonds

2:50.7
