New Wealth Comes Along With New Emotions
"The nature of wealth seems to be changing. Not only is wealth inequality higher than in the past. The acquisition of wealth seems to be occurring at a more rapid pace. The idea of the 'millionaire next door' still exists but now seems passé." - Tadas ViskantaFor more visit: Abnormal ReturnsFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Banks Make A Lot of Money When the Fed + Treasury Outlaw Losses
"It’s a bonanza. Retail bankruptcies didn’t show up. Corporate bankruptcies didn’t show up. Lots of stuff got worked out and renegotiated with the ubiquitous grease of easy money on slathered atop everyone’s palms, although most of the palliative financial treatments of this era occurred via DocuSign rather than physical handshake." - Josh BrownFor more visit: The Reformed BrokerFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Leveraging Gifts with Life Insurance
"If done correctly, the life insurance policy pays out a death benefit that is tax free to their children and passes outside of the estate, avoiding estate tax as well. At no out of pocket expense, this family has leveraged ‘small’ annual gifts to provide a legacy to the grandchildren." - Blair duQuesnayFor more visit: The Belle CurveFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Smart Tickets: Creators Capturing Secondary Market Sales
"Bands used to tour to promote their albums, which was how they monetized their created works. Now, they put out an album so they can tour, which is where most of the monetization is today. If they could capture a higher percentage of the gate – including secondary market resales – it could change the economics dramatically." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Not a Housing Bubble
"In a normal market, it does not take much of a shift to create an imbalance. Housing here is both too little supply and too much demand; these look like temporary issues, not a longer-lasting condition." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

"If ever you needed proof that the day-to-day noise is a boon for traders but the bane of investors, 2020 was it.
