Shownotes
Welcome to the Market Call Show with host Louis Llanes. In today's episode, Louis discusses a crucial topic that affects many individuals—being prepared for the loss of a spouse. Louis addresses five essential questions related to this issue, aiming to provide valuable insights and guidance.
Louis begins by highlighting the common scenario where one spouse is not actively involved in financial affairs, entrusting their partner to handle everything. However, when an unexpected tragedy strikes, the uninvolved spouse can find themselves in a vulnerable and unfamiliar position. This lack of familiarity with the couple's advisors and professionals adds to the stress and uncertainty during such difficult times, particularly for women who may fear being taken advantage of.
To address these concerns, Louis emphasizes the significance of active participation in meetings with advisors. By being present and engaged, spouses can establish a connection, build trust, and ensure their own understanding of the financial landscape. This proactive approach allows them to familiarize themselves with advisors and assess whether they are aligned with their needs and interests.
These five questions serve as the foundation for the episode:
1. "Our financial advisor always wants me to participate on the call with my spouse, but I really don't have an interest. Why do I need to participate?"
2. "My spouse has passed away suddenly. What do I do to prepare financially?"
3. "We only have a home, a pension, and a 401(k). Do I need a will?"
4. "What is important about having a team of professionals—financial advisors, CPAs, and attorneys—for planning?"
5. "How do I know my advisor is doing right by me and my future?"
In conclusion, Louis emphasizes the need for spousal involvement in financial planning and decision-making. Being proactive and educated helps protect against potential vulnerabilities and ensures a smoother transition in the face of unexpected events. By taking these steps, individuals can secure their financial future and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Don't miss out on this enlightening episode, filled with valuable advice for anyone concerned about spousal preparedness and financial well-being. Tune in to the Market Call Show now!
Note: The show ends with a personal anecdote about birds nesting, symbolizing the circle of life and the passing of wealth to future generations.

Blueprint to Making Money in Stocks | Ep 76
Welcome to today's podcast where we're going to talk about why having a process is important, specifically when it comes to managing an equity portfolio. This episode is for two types of listeners - those who entrust their investment decisions to us and want to understand how we create their portfolios, and those who prefer to make their own investment decisions. Recently, we've been refining our processes and we'd like to give you a high-level overview of what we do behind the scenes when building portfolios. We'll cover three main aspects - screening, assessing opportunities, and portfolio structure.
In a nutshell, having a process means having a routine and being disciplined. It's crucial to establish guidelines that will help you go through a checklist to ensure that you're investing your capital in areas that have the potential for excess returns. Do your research on stocks that look promising, but also consider all the factors that make a company valuable. Have guidelines on how much you're willing to invest in specific sectors or industries. By having a clear and consistent process, you'll be able to make informed investment decisions that can help you achieve your financial goals.

Midterms 2022: Is the Bear Market Over? | Ep 57
Is the bear market over now that the midterm elections are behind us? Listen to what I believe matters the most and exactly which important developments could move the markets in the coming months. Spoiler alert…we may not be out of the woods yet.
In this episode I discuss:
• Why a split congress could be helpful in the short-run, but could be harmful longer term
• How the interest rate environment has changed and why you must invest differently in a new interest rate regime – the rules may have reversed
• Why oil companies do not appear to be gouging consumers and how price controls and windfall profit taxes could hurt the economy if politicians are aggressive enough to enact them.
• Investments that are bucking the trend now, and more.
