High Yield Risks
<p>In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom take aim at “magical” high-yield investments, focusing on why junk bond funds often behave more like risky stocks than stable bonds.

Ep 362 | The Disappearing Stock Market Is Making the Wealth Gap Worse
<p>Kevin Freeman traces the arc from 1980s optimism — thousands of investable public companies and rapid innovation — to today’s halved stock count amid soaring GDP and population.

Examples like Uber illustrate how gains accrue privately while retail investors face late access and higher risk; meanwhile, dollar debasement and the Cantillon Effect amplify inequality. Freeman advocates restoring opportunity via sound money (state gold/silver initiatives), lighter but fair regulation, stronger IP protection, and expanded public access...
