I’ve been listening to these guys for a while now and thoroughly impressed by the advice they give. Sensible, actionable thoughts that just about anybody can implement for long-term success. Definitely recommend.
I’ve been listening for a few years now once/twice per week. I’m now at the point that I can predict their answers to questions (well, the easier ones) and this has better prepared me with my portfolio decisions. I bought the Blueprint snapshot and loved the analysis/advice. I made a few adjustments out of the session. I highly recommend this podcast and look forward to more. Keep up the good work.
Tom and Don are looking out for individual investors and give great advice. If you are a day trader you won’t like this podcast because this podcast is for investors not gamblers.
This is my favorite podcast by far and is without question the best investing podcast in the world! Great advice and very entertaining at the same time! I have learned so much listening to Tom and Don. Great job guys!
I listen to this show everyday. Don and Tom are pretty funny and offer great advice. You can tell that they genuinely care about helping people invest in the safest manner.
That is what Don brings to the discussion. He is a sensible, intelligent and reasonable advisor. I find his insights o be reassuring, practical and wise. None better. If you have found this guy you are lucky indeed. Listen, learn and prosper.
Don and Tom do great job of keeping investing simple and calling out the frauds. If someone is looking for a podcast that gives investors the best chance of future success - this is it. Their advice is not based on hot tips or forecasts - but on proven academic research (evidence based investing). This is one of my go to podcasts.
If you want to understand how to invest start here. Don and Tom make it easy to get up to speed with everything you need to know. The path they lay out is easy to understand and takes very little time and effort. Low effort, low drama. If you already know how to invest you will enjoy the banter and will still learn from their valuable insights.
Thankful for these guys for sharing their experience, insight and pro tips. Best of all is they’re trustworthy and that is priceless in the greed consumed world in which we live. Definitely learning lots and plan to share the podcast with friends and family.
Found Don and Tom several years ago through another one of my favorite podcasts Paul Merriman. The name of the show says it all, they do talk real money without all the unnecessary nonsense so many of the other so called financial podcasts out there tend to babble. I have a hand full of podcasts that are a must listen to and this is certainly one of them.Highly recommend!
Outstanding program. Accurate, honest advice on challenging topics. Makes recommendations consistently with lowest cost and best return but a dose of reality about what can realistically be expected. Recommends solutions outside their direct benefit that are easy to validate and seem truly honest. Excellent work. Keep it up!
Thanks for stepping up to the daily podcasts. I really enjoy the short informative concentrated advice. I have been listening to Don Since the early 90s and can personally vouch for his no-load, low-fee, index approach. No get rich quick schemes here but if you are diligent and follow his approach you will surprise yourself with how well you can do and how wealthy you can become.
This is one of the best financial podcasts around today. No BS.. quick & straight to the point! Glad to have more than than just “Money-thirty”. Talking Real Money has real substance and really useful information. Thanks again guys!AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++
I am so Thankful this radio show is available via Podcast. Tom and Don give honest fact based advice that will help you be a better investor and position yourself for a much better future. You should listen as often as you can. I do an feel blessed Talking Real Money!
I have been listening and taking Don McDonald advice for 25 years. I like my returns so much now investory handles our accounts in early retirement thanks. Don and Tom
