In episode 397 of the BE SMART podcast, Jared and Cameron discuss these major headlines, earnings, and more.
Private equity pours millions into HVAC and plumbing trades, worldwide efforts to reverse the baby shortage fall flat, and prices ease for used cars and some grocery items as the inflation cooldown continues.

In the first trading week of September, the S&P 500 fell 4.2%, the monthly jobs report showed the labor market added fewer jobs than expected, and weak manufacturing data led stocks to their worst day since early August. In episode 391, Jared discusses market volatility and economic data, as well as topics such as Apple’s AI selling point for its new generation of iPhones, Donald Trump’s proposed government efficiency commission headed by Elon Musk, and Kamala Harris’s idea to introduce a 25% minimum tax on total income (including unrealized capital gains) for individuals with wealth over $100 million.

The collapse of the real estate market in 2008 nearly brought the global economy to its knees, but a few saw it as an opportunity to change their lives. Today, we’re facing a similar moment—this time in private equity. While we might not sink as low as the near-depression levels of 2008, a downturn in private equity could still turn a recession into something much worse… but there’s still an opportunity to get ahead of it. In this special edition of the BE SMART podcast, Jared and his co-host Cameron cover the problems surrounding private equity and the actionable, step-by-step moves needed to trade something of this magnitude.
On Monday, the Dow dropped 2.6%, the Nasdaq lost 3.43%, and the S&P 500 slid 3%. The Dow and S&P 500 registered their biggest daily losses since September 2022. On top of that, cryptocurrencies sank; the VIX skyrocketed; investors piled into Treasury bonds; and Japan’s stock market posted its worst drop since Wall Street’s Black Monday in 1987, contributing to fears of global turmoil in the markets.
In episode 387, Jared discusses recession fears, the importance of having short positions in a stock-based portfolio, and how traders can insure their portfolios against an extreme market crash. Plus, mortgage rates and the one thing younger generations should focus on when looking to buy a new home.
In episode 386, Jared breaks down various topics including market volatility, McDonald's earnings and consumer spending, Bitcoin, mortgage rates, personal finance questions from Reddit, and upcoming events such as the Federal Reserve meeting and the July jobs report.

In episode 385, Jared discusses recent political developments, their impact on markets, and whether the Trump trade is still in play. He also follows up from last week’s episode on the potential for a rotation into small caps… plus, company-specific headlines surrounding Verizon (VZ) and Delta (DAL), uncertainty and volatility in the market, and why his Strategic Portfolio makes sense as a “safe money” investing solution.
Following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Jared discusses the idea of the “Trump trade” gaining momentum as the US nears its 2024 election, how black swan events tend to cluster, and the mispricing of volatility. He also addresses declining inflation, the potential for the Fed to cut rates, and how small caps are showing signs of a comeback.
In today’s episode, fresh off an interview at the Schwab Network in NYC, Jared reveals the weirdness of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as topics such as Nvidia’s recent 10-for-1 stock split, California’s bump in minimum wages, greedflation and rising fast food prices, and why it’s a bad idea to finance used cars. He also addresses readers’ questions, including his thoughts on the FDIC’s $250K insurance limits and people’s irrational fear that the US dollar will lose its status as the reserve currency.

People pour their hearts out on Reddit. In episode 381, Jared and Cameron tap into personal finance subreddits, addressing questions about payday loan apps, when to repair your vehicle versus buying a new one, mortgages and retirement, negotiating for a higher salary, steps to achieving financial comfort, and… clogged cats?
Anytime a new technology is developed, there's an initial hype phase where money pours into the space, which leads to overinvestment and malinvestment. Then you enter the Valley of Despair before getting a second bull market years down the line. In episode 380, Jared clarifies why we may be close to completing the first runup in AI, why crypto has no place in the Awesome Portfolio, why he’s so bearish on Google, the 2024 election, and more.
Would you have more money if you didn’t buy coffee? Perhaps marginally more, but it’s a rounding error in the grand scheme of things. Stop focusing on the little things that don’t matter. Buying coffee is peewee stuff that just does not matter, and you have these so-called financial “experts” focused on this kind of stuff, alienating everyone in the process. There are so many other things you should be focusing on to improve your financial well-being.
Having money in stocks and mutual funds that perform well doesn’t mean you’re creating wealth. In that case, you’re just a passenger along for the ride on the back of someone else. Creating wealth could mean starting a business or showing up to work and producing value that exceeds what you are paid. In episode 378, Jared discusses the difference between creating and destroying wealth, as well as the president’s impact on the US economy.
No, it’s not choosing the right mutual fund to invest in or opting for a 15-year mortgage instead of a 30-year one. Not even paying off all your credit cards cracks the top three. The three biggest financial decisions you will ever make include choosing the right person to marry, your career, and where to live. In episode 377, Jared breaks down why these choices are so crucial to get right—because getting them wrong can do serious damage in the long run.
Mutual funds let you pool your money with other investors to buy stocks, bonds, and other securities. They’re run by professional money managers who decide which securities to buy (stocks, bonds, etc.) and when to sell them. Here’s the thing, though: Mutual funds are not free. That said, they’re inexpensive, but that doesn’t stop people from getting worked up over fees. In episode 376, Jared explains why we should stop complaining about fees… especially when they’re near zero already.
In episode 375, Jared maps his evolution from “class warrior” as a kid in Connecticut to his college years when he dabbled in objectivism to his present-day views on the likes of Jeff Bezos. He breaks down the philosophical basis for the revolution that swept through the world in the 1970s and ’80s (influenced by prominent figures such as Ayn Rand, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman) and discusses how people’s thinking on economics is totally backward these days.
In episode 374 of the BE SMART podcast, Jared demystifies the key to deal negotiation for a home and why, as a buyer, you should be making a series of negative comments to your realtor to bring the price of a house down. Everything in real estate is negotiable, and it’s a bit like playing cards—meaning it’s helpful to know which cards a seller is holding. You don’t want to be a “people pleaser” when negotiating for a house. It never hurts to ask for something you want included, whether it be the drapes or a piece of furniture.
There are points in time when producers have pricing power, and there are other times when they don’t. This concept is known as demand elasticity. If something has elastic demand, companies can’t raise prices much or else demand will go down. On the flip side, if something has inelastic demand, it doesn’t matter how much prices increase because people will still pay for it. In this episode of the BE SMART podcast, Jared discusses how demand elasticity impacts consumer spending habits, people’s perception of value, and whether you should ditch a company like Netflix when it jacks up its monthly subscription price.
Catastrophic thinking is when you believe that something terrible is always going to happen, like a divorce, a fatal illness, or devastating financial hardship. A lot of people suffer from it and are susceptible to this mindset, which can cripple your relationships and personal goals. What it boils down to is fear, but the possibility that something earth-shattering will happen to you is lower than you think. Bad things happen, of course, but there is one key solution to overcoming a negative mindset and putting yourself in a healthier frame of mind to succeed.
No stock is “safe,” but blue-chip stocks tend to be the safest. That’s why, if you go to a financial advisor, they’re likely to load you up on stocks found in the Dow Jones Industrial Average—the Boeings and Microsofts of the world—because it’s a strategy that’s much harder to screw up than others. In this episode, Jared discusses risk, growth, the sad reality of the brokerage industry, and the key to financial success as an investor.
Fun fact: Most people in the finance business believe in crazy, ridiculous conspiracy theories. It’s astounding the type of stuff people believe in—like, for instance, that a shadowy government organization buys large quantities of stocks or futures to bleed short sellers and turn a profit. In this episode of the Be Smart podcast, Jared discusses why so many people perpetuate conspiracy theories and how their mentality seeps into everyday situations.
Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) is a movement defined by frugality and extreme savings and investment. It’s also a dumb philosophy. Why? Because it is a perfectly normal human desire to accumulate material positions. Consumption is not immoral, and depriving yourself for several years only to continue living in deprivation doesn’t make any sense. The FIRE followers have it backwards: You don’t gain self-esteem and happiness from no stress. You get these things from overcoming stress through work and achievement.
Not having a lot of debt, minimizing your exposure to risk, and having financial security are all ways to deal from a position of strength. Sure, having more money often helps, but not always. There’s more to it than that, which we’ll dive into, along with six key things you must do to eliminate financial stress and put yourself in a position of strength.
There’s a lot of money out there. We have printed trillions of dollars. Let’s put it this way: There is no shortage of money. Really, there’s a surplus, and it’s not that hard to come by. You don’t need to starve yourself or keep the thermostat at 60 degrees in the winter to save money. What it comes down to is a change in attitude. Instead of thinking that money is hard to come by, you need to embrace the idea that it’s easy to get… you just need to know how to do it.
A lot of people say they want to get rich, but most of the time, these people are full of it. Being rich is a lot harder than it seems—a rich person’s life gets much more complicated once they become rich. More houses, cars, bank accounts, greater investments, and rising taxes… it’s a lot to keep track of, and it can create a lot of added stress. Truth is, if you like leading a simple life, you won’t like being rich. Let’s talk some of the complications that come with more money…
If you get into a top-tier school, like Harvard, you must go. But what about second- and third-tier schools? It’s not always a no-brainer based on the cost. Student loans can be crushing, and you need to factor in your return on investment via earnings potential, especially in a world where student graduates are netting $55K a year for sales jobs while high school dropouts receive offers for $110K for trucking jobs. Luckily, I have a rubric to help you determine whether you can (and should) enroll in college…
There’s an old saying: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” If you want to make money, you must take the risk… because sitting idly and wishing to make money is not going to yield positive results. In today’s episode of the Be Smart podcast, Jared discusses the ways people fall backwards into money, what you should do if you come into a windfall, and the value of cash.
John C. Bogle, the founder and chief executive of Vanguard who is credited with popularizing the index fund, was only worth about $20 million when he died in 2019. Sure, that’s nothing to sneeze at, but he created something so revolutionary that he could have been a billionaire many times over. His idea transformed the entire asset management industry, and it’s still transforming it to this day. Yet he was only worth $20 million? In today’s episode, Jared reemphasizes the idea of choosing to make more money. Because remember: Money is a choice, and guess what? Making more money DOES affect your level of happiness. It’s okay to want more, but it also can’t become an obsession…
What is a hedge fund? In today’s episode of the Be Smart podcast, Jared discusses the ins and outs of hedge funds (including the different types), why they are not magic money machines despite rich people’s inclination to invest in them, and the distinction between absolute returns and relative returns.
Capitalism doesn’t suck just because you’re bad at it. Capitalism is a competition. Life is a competition. But that’s what’s so great about the US: There are so many opportunities if you want to take advantage of them. Are you ready to compete in the free market? Dive into today’s episode of the Be Smart podcast, where Jared discusses how to better position yourself in a capitalist society and succeed.
Growing up in poverty scars us for life and distorts our relationship with money. The good news: It helps us develop mindful financial habits. The bad: We often don’t experience life to the fullest because we’re always waiting for the next shoe to drop. In today’s episode of the Be Smart podcast, Jared discusses frugality, why so many people carry around financial trauma, and surviving versus thriving.
The mark of a good person is the ability to be genuinely happy for another person and their success. In today’s podcast, Jared discusses how envy often creeps into the DNA of garbage human beings, inspirational “rags to riches” stories, and what it takes to succeed.
You can’t just sit around and expect a million dollars to fall into your lap. It doesn’t work that way. The first step to getting more money is wanting it. And it’s okay to want more money; it doesn’t automatically make you a greedy person. In today’s episode, Jared discusses money-conflicted people and, conversely, ways to grow your wealth if you embrace earning more.
Long-time guest David Mannen joins Jared Dillian to catch up on summer happenings, including writing short stories and the “just do it” mentality, student loans, how politicians often mirror TV evangelists, baseball, anti-intellectualism, the polarization of Donald Trump, and more.
If you're going to spend money, spend money on quality stuff—not junk that’s destined to end up in the landfill in 12 months. Jared discusses buying items that last, ways to spend money on experiences that won’t break the bank, and certain types of irresponsible purchases to avoid.
The little stuff does not matter. If you want to buy the fancy name-brand Ziploc bags, buy the Ziploc bags. The accumulation of small decisions does not add up to a meaningful amount of money. It's not going to change your life. Remember, it's not the million little things that matter. It's the major expenses—the house, the car, and the student loans—that require vigilance.
Spending money to try new things and experience new places is priceless. But people won't do it. They get stuck on the number in their bank account, which causes them to miss out on a lot of life. While excessive or frivolous purchases can be regrettable, a lot of the time you will regret not spending money on stuff.
What role does gambling play in personal finance? Are you allowed to gamble if you want to lead a stress-free financial life? Jared answers these questions and more as he recaps his recent trip to Las Vegas.
Seems like every time you turn around, there’s something you have to pay for. In this episode, Jared discusses the unforeseen expenses you’re never ready for, how they cause stress in your finances, and how to prepare for the unexpected.

If you’re going to be successful, get ready for people to hate you. They sure hate Jeff Bezos. All he did was build the greatest company in the world… and spend a little bit of his money to go to space (sort of). Good for him—it’s his money!

The world is full of opportunity. But the personal finance orthodoxy doesn’t focus on that. It only focuses on surviving—just getting by. Jared lays out a different path… a path to thriving.
Jared walks you through a major real estate deal—a piece of land that doubled in value in six months. It’s the kind of opportunity you can pounce on when you have a little bit of luck and a big pile of cash.
Jared peels back the curtain on the Coast Guard Academy’s messed up culture. It’s actually worse than you think. And he’s spent a lifetime unlearning the lessons he learned there.
No one wants to lie in bed at night, panicking about a volatile investment. Jared shares his solution to high volatility investments, so you never make a foolish mistake.
There’s a lot of dumb advice floating around the internet. Jared helps you avoid it by critiquing 17 ways to save… and reminding you that “it’s the big things” that count.
Stocks often go up after a split. It’s about signaling—the company is sending a message to investors. Jared explains what it is and how to take advantage of it.
Every argument in finance is political—and liberals won the argument for the past decade. Now the situation has flipped. Jared explains why the best investors are “regime agnostic” and how you can make money in any environment.
The US is the only country that thinks of wealth as something you can actually create more of. Starting a business is one way to do that, but there are endless opportunities to be a wealth creator.
What is it about real estate? There’s something about the industry that attracts a certain element, especially when it’s hot… like it is now. Jared has a special name for these shady characters.
Twenty-five states have introduced personal finance education legislation this year. It’s a nice idea to teach kids about money in high school, but who’s going to teach it? A lot of teachers are bound to give terrible guidance… just like some of Jared’s competitors.
As long as your credit score is 740 or higher, it’s good enough. Otherwise, you need to take these 7 steps now.
Rising inflation means everyone needs a little exposure to commodities—things like corn, wheat, soy beans, oil… all the stuff we use but can’t print. Jared shares the easiest way to get that done.
Hedge funds are one of those things that rich people talk about at cocktail parties. They sound sexy… but how do they make money? And how do you invest in them? Get the scoop from Jared.

Car dealers pull all kinds of crazy financing stunts. When you're buying a car, it's your right to know—and negotiate—the exact terms of the loan, the interest rate, and all the items on your invoice the dealership would rather not tell you about.
Just because something is scarce doesn't make it valuable. Gold may be "shiny rocks," but unlike "Boomer coin"—what many Bitcoin fans now call their beloved crypto—gold is in no danger of ever losing its shine.
If you've saved at least $10,000 in your emergency fund, great. But that might not be enough cash to bail you out of a crisis.
Amazon (AMZN), which is trading north of $3,000, could soon announce a stock split. If that happens, it would be a big sign of optimism… and send a strong signal that the company thinks the stock price is going up.
Benn Eifert of QVR Advisors joins Jared to talk about options trading, financial education, and pursuing investing careers.
There are all kinds of ways to make money. But no one talks about them. Instead of talking about politics or health, ask people about their interest rates, mutual funds, and—yes—salaries.
When it comes to your appearance, the little details count. What are you trying to tell people about yourself? You can be a T-shirt and jeans person as long as you buy high quality.
You get the behavior you incentivize. Right now, people are choosing to stay home because it pays better than working. As a result, personal responsibility is disappearing.
If you still have a mortgage, car loan, or other debt, your boss is the bank. It's time to follow Humphrey Bogart and John Goodman's advice in "The Gambler" to get in a position of “screw you.”
You bought a good, cheap stock. But it didn't go up… even though the rest of the market did. Good news: Changing just one "factor" could change your investment returns.
Would you rather be in a bread line or a bread market? You might be surprised by your answer. Here's why the bread market is the better pick… and how you can get there.
Anyone can make more money. But most bad decisions come from believing money is more valuable than time. Here's how to adjust your money mindset to help you save—and savor—more.
If this market is causing you stress, you've probably taken on too much risk. If some of your position sizes are too big, it's time to sell and turn that money into food that isn't a crap sandwich.
If your goal is to be debt-free, you probably don't have to worry about your credit score. But if you want to borrow money at a low rate in the future, Jared's top seven rules can help you get to the prime 740 credit score.
Commodities are up 11% this year. They benefit from the weaker dollar, higher deficits, and rising inflation. Not only is this the right time to own them, but it's never been easier to buy them.
Companies have been buying back their stock since 1983. It boosts prices, which makes shareholders happy. Of course, it can kill the company when it buys at $40, shares drop to $15, and the entire industry grinds to a halt.
If someone is trying to sell you a financial product or service that you don’t understand—don’t buy it. Have a low level of trust when it comes to your money. And take these steps to move from financial dependence to independence.
Chuck Hinners talks with Jared about building a 45-year career in life insurance and why picking a highly rated provider is just as important as buying the right (term, universal, or whole-life) policy.

Ben Carlson wrote a smart piece in Fortune about personal finance laws to live by. In this episode, Jared reviews his favorites and shares a few more smart strategies.
Wall Street wants you in the markets just like Las Vegas wants you in the casinos. That’s because the more bets you make, the more chances THEY have to make money—even without charging commissions! Here’s the logical way to defeat their logic… and win big in the end.
Jared talks with David Mannen, realtor at Carolina Pines Realty, about why it's important to have cash in the bank, 529 plans for college-bound kids, and a life insurance policy valued at 2X your income for each dependent.
The Reddit crowd crushed hedge funds that had bet big against GameStop (GME). But it's a hollow victory because the "Goliaths" manage schoolteachers' and firefighters’ pension funds. And it puts one broker’s clients in a precarious position. Here's why.
Volatility (how much an asset moves around) is the enemy of a smart portfolio. Correlation (how assets move in relationship to each other) can reduce volatility in certain situations. And diversification can keep you from blowing yourself up no matter how volatile things get.
High property taxes discourage home ownership. Worse, they can make it more difficult to sell a house for a nice profit. However, there is a way to lose less money on your parcel of the American dream.
There is no asset that should be held forever—not even Bitcoin. That's why Jared recently sold his… right before it dropped. Here's how you can spot an asset that's about to fall out of favor.
Everyone wants to win the lottery. But fortune, whether built over time or through "Mega Millions" made overnight, has a way of complicating your life. No matter how much you have, here is how not to leave your well-being to chance.
From the cotton to the elastic to the gasoline that was put into the delivery trucks, we got masks as soon as we started to need them. Without government bureaucrats in the way, we didn't need a miracle to receive supplies; we just needed to let the free markets do their job.

What if your cat gets sick, your car breaks down, you tear your ACL, or a tree falls on your roof? There's only one person you can count on to bail you out—and that's you.
