Are you down with OPP? Award-winning former investigative journalist for the LA Times Maya Lau comes down to the basement to discuss her new passion project – a podcast called Other People’s Pockets. She asks the uncomfortable questions about people’s money, how they make it, and what they do with it. She shares her experiences with us about pulling back the curtain on the taboo topic of money.
Plus, for today’s headline we have a special guest interview with the Chief Gold Strategist for State Street Global Advisors, George Milling-Stanley. We talk about what the Federal Reserve’s sustained interest rate hike campaign could mean for the price of gold. What utility does gold have in the real world? Does holding gold (and/or other precious metals) make sense for your portfolio? O.G. also shares his thoughts. Plus, we throw out the Haven Lifeline to a semi-anonymous caller with an identity crisis about when it’s appropriate to take over someone else’s investment decisions.
