OG lost a computer last week, forcing him to take a week off from the podcast (thanks to Doug for filling in!). That means that it’s a good week to talk about risk management… What can go wrong? What should you do about it? Joe & OG tackle some lessons gleaned from Hollywood stars who’ve lost fortunes, PK discusses credit, Lance from Money, Life & More and Greg from Club Thrifty join Joe to discuss covering your bases with insurance, and finally, we give you our Top 5 Ways to Protect Your Portfolio.

As usual, show notes will fill in throughout the day Monday

  1. I love listening to these, but I just got the baby down to sleep and I would hate to wake him up again after how cranky he was getting. I might have to listen tomorrow :(

  3. Just listened to this podcast for the first time. Pretty good stuff! Not surprised in the least that the guy running the illegal gambling room got the full-on raid. They don’t mess around with that stuff when tax money is on the line!

  4. The stop loss is an important part of Risk management. I just posted an article today on introducing the stop loss, targeted at the novice or inexperienced investor but it may be useful to anyone invested in the markets.
