20:00 Start of Interview with Larry Swedroe

22:15 “We do know that whenever you have a high demand for anything, you will drive prices up and in the case of securities, when you drive prices up that looks good in the short term but for new investors, it drives the future expected returns down because you now have higher valuations”

22:42 “Dividend paying strategies used to look like value strategies; so if you own stocks that paid relatively high dividends, they tended to be value stocks. And value stocks have provided higher returns than growth stocks”

28:11 “Diversification, just like your insurance policy, is always working. Sometimes you like the results, and sometimes you don’t”

30:17 “Make sure that you can get in writing from the advisor that they will provide a fiduciary standard of care which requires them to give advice that’s solely in your interest”

30:29 “[Advisors] should be prepared to show you their own personal financial statements…you want the advisor to show you that they’re eating their own cooking”

37:12 “You might want to take a look at a reverse mortgage, get some income from the equity of your home”
