    I hated Gold, Bonds and was worried about a 10 year flat or down stock market

  • Good ideas, poor execution

    At the end, I will tell you better podcasts to learn from instead.

    Frank’s ideas are interesting.

    But his choice of podcast structure (yes, the sound effects) tells me he is more interested in tickling his own funny bone than educating people.

    Just like his behavior on social media tells me he’s more interested in stroking his ego by being rude to people than he is in helping/educating people.

    It’s a shame.

    If you want real education, go here instead:

  • Incessant unrelated audio clips ruin the show

    Frank presents a ton of useful, well-researched information about investing. However, his almost unceasing use of unrelated audio clips from old movies and tv shows make it impossible to enjoy the show.

  • I downloaded a few episodes today Sept 29,2025. I got less than 5 minutes in and can't stand the movie lines and sound bits added in. They were in the middle of reading an email that was sent in and kept stopping the dictation of the email to play stupid sound bites. It was terrible and unconsumable for me which is a shame because Frank is such a pillar of the ChooseFI Facebook community.
