What’re You Watching?


We are ALL spending more time at home. While many of us watched some Movies covertly at work now we are the boss and streaming content is our refuge. This month we will furlough  our monthly podcast list and replace it with what we are watching. Our hope is to return soon once our government tells us it is safe.

Amazon Prime

Now that we realize that even Amazon is out of Purell and TP we will start to watch their streaming content that is available. Our favorites are:

1. Goliath
2. The Maverous Mrs. Maisel
3. Fleabag

Netflix 

This service seems to know me better than I know myself. The daily emails are starting to bother me, but several shows they recommend are worth checking out.

My favorites are:

1. Ozark
2. Kim’s Convenience
3. The Crown

I promise you won’t get any SPAM emails from me when you watch these shows.



Apple TV +

They hooked me with The Morning Show and then they went dark. The new programs have  roped me back in.   My new favorites are:

1. Home Before Dark
2. Oprah Talks - even my Millennial Children like this
3.  Amazing Stories

If you missed The Morning Show please check that out too. Also my AirPod Pros are great

HBO is offering free access during the COVID - 19 crisis because they know you have time and love Free.

If you are running out of ideas I hope this list will give you some new ones. Pre-pandemic I saw too many movies and realized that I must kiss a lot of frogs to find something good. Start kisssing but keep your mandated distance...

Wempy Popeye and financial advisors fall for the “I’ll gladly pay pay you tomorrow for a Hamburger today” pitch.  Unfortunately Popeye and and most financial advisors provide their hamburger but seldomly get paid what the firms and Wimpy promise .  Why?  The advisors need the cash and Popeye is gullible.  On Wall Street the deals adjusted when the advisors changed firms looking for a new deal every five to eight years.  The recent Luminous departure shows that the advisory contracts need to be adjusted.  The new contracts are written by experienced firm...

Career Hacks

We are in constant pursuit to be the best we can be in our profession.  Is there a hack to help us?  Some days it feels like others have found one.  The Baby Boomer hack was to be a Doctor, a Lawyer or work for Goldman Sachs.  Millennials believe in the power of social media hacks and that a job at Google is on the Yellow Brick Road.  This week I’ll look at other experts and share my opinion that there isn’t an easy solution to professional success. Academia Those who  can’t do teach and those who can’t teach, teach gym .  Many of the established ideas that guide people in the wealth advisory business where researched in academia.  While their research is credible most academics remain as advisors not a practitioners.   William Sharpe  might be an exception to this rule.  He lost at Long Term Capital but was a recent  winner with Financial Engines .  Resilient and richer. Conferences and Media We...
