Episode notes
ETF Selection
- Start by identifying the asset class you want to invest in (e.g., U.S. stocks, international stocks).
- Use resources like Morningstar to compare ETF performance and costs, seeking those that have outperformed their peers.
Share Buybacks
- Share buybacks don't always reduce share count; companies might issue new shares simultaneously.
- Buybacks create value when done at a discount to intrinsic value, increasing per-share metrics.
Roth IRA Contributions
- Contribute to your Roth IRA even during market uncertainty; you can hold cash or short-term treasuries.
- Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free, acting as a backup emergency fund.
