August 31st, 2025, welcome to the women and money podcast, as well as everyone smart enough to listen.

Robert, the producer here.

We hope you're enjoying the long Labor Day weekend and taking a break from work.

In fact, today, Susie is taking a break from work as well,

but that doesn't mean you don't get a podcast. We're going to play for you today, the main

part of an episode that we originally dropped in April of last year. And when we think about

the theme of this year, right, make your money, make more money, this episode

really ties into that theme. And based on some of the emails and questions that have come in

from you, it is absolutely time to bring this particular subject back to the top of the feed.

So enjoy. And Susie and KT will be with you this Thursday.

I have told you over and over again. The only way to be investing in the stock market is through

dollar cost averaging, where every month or every three months or every six months,

if there is something that you own and it goes down, you buy a little more. If it continues to

go down, you buy a little more. So here's a little thing that every one of you needs to do. I want you to look at every single

stock that you have, every single ETF that you have right here and right now. Because the truth of

the matter is, you don't know what the stock market's going to do next week or five weeks from now or three

years from now, but right here and right now, you know exactly what you have. So let's say you have

a stock and it's worth $20,000 today. I want you to ask yourself the question, if you did not own

that stock today and you had $20,000 in cash,

would you buy that stock today? If the answer to that is yes, then you keep what you have.

If the answer to that is no, I would not, then you keep what you have. If the answer to that is no, I would not, then you better think about

selling it seriously. And if the answer is, I don't know what I would do, then just sell half.
