Finances can be complicated, but they don't have to be.

I break down financial topics that may seem complex and overwhelming, so you can start taking action on your financial goals.

I'm Ari Talbid, and it all starts here on Personal Finance Redefined.

Welcome back to another episode of the Personal Finance Redefined podcast,

and we're going to just hop right into today's episode,

because it's a big one and it's a great question.

And the question is, is today's market, the market that we're living in,

is the stock market overvalued? And what I want to do to

answer this question is give some feedback on a recent conversation I've had. So, as you all know,

when it comes to financial planning, there's investing, there's tax planning, there's estate

planning, there's cash flow, there's budgeting, there's debt, there's a million things.

And so what I want to focus on today is really the investment piece.

I would say it's the sexy piece when it comes to financial planning and a large reason people

come to me or come to any advisor when they want to invest.

But what I like to talk about and to give this as an example, when people are looking at their

portfolios and they're asking me to evaluate them, what they really want feedback on is not

how are they invested.

It's really, am I invested in relation to what I want to accomplish?

And to give you an example, if someone were to come to me and own everything in, let's say,

America's greatest companies, let's say you own that SMP 500, the 500 largest companies in the

United States, that's awesome. But what you're not doing is you're not exposing yourself to other

parts of the market. That might not be bad. That might be intentional.
