Do It Yourself Investing - the Good, the Gaps, and the Ugly

If you are making investment or money decisions on your own (DIY), are you doing it correctly? Have you considered the overall strategy? Or are you just buying assets haphazardly (like a plastic bag floating in the wind)? What is missing in the DIY strategy? You need to know (because what you don't know can really hurt you).

What are REITs (Real-Estate Investment Trusts)? If you don't know, here is where you will learn it! Everything you need to know and more...

It is my belief that a well diversified investment portfolio should include equities, bonds (ok maybe not in this low rate environment), ETFs, insurance products, real-estate, and non-correlated investment products. It should also include REITs (which could be part of your non-correlated investment portfolio). But what are REITs you ask? Well, I (ok maybe not me, but my guest) have all the answers. Listen to learn more.

Intergenerational wealth transfer made possible with private pension plans for healthcare professionals

A few episodes back, we learned about private pension plans (IPP and PPP). We know what the benefits and drawbacks are. But there is 1 particular aspect of these pensions that deserve its own episode.

Persistent Quality Part-time Effort - What is it? Dr. Wing Lim will enhance our knowledge base.

Persistent Quality Part-time Effort is a powerful concept that all physicians must understand. Whether you want to call it Side Hustle or Multiple Revenue Stream, the power is in the financial freedom that it offers from your everyday professional life. One might say "isn't it enough that I am a physician? Why do I need to do something else?". The new medical profession is unlike the old medical professional. Just in a span of 25 years, I have seen it change before my own eyes. Within these changes, the question is "Can I afford not to change myself?".
