Episode description

Did you know, that successfully avoiding risk can be more important to your wealth than finding great returns? ⚠️ But most people (including financial planners) think they can “manage risk” when they’re simply hiding the risk instead. Don’t let this bite you.🦈

Learn from a real-life story of Steve Wynn’s Mirage Hotel & Casino + the fact that “In the last fifty years, the ten most extreme days in the financial markets represent half the returns. Ten days in fifty years!”

In 1911 the Supreme Court ruled Life Insurance was a Transferable Asset, and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the court opinion saying life insurance is one of the “…best recognized forms of investment and self-compelled saving.”

Discover how you can manage risk through whole life insurance in a way that’s impossible through the Stock Market alone.
