Welcome to the Plutonomix Podcast, with Barnaby Levin. Some Perspectives on Wealth & Investing (generally) in 10 minutes or less.
The word “Plutonomics” means the “Study of Wealth” and it is our Mission to educate; to help Clients think about their goals and how they might benefit from working with an Advisor to achieve them. But more importantly, it’s to make sure our listeners understand both the Pros and Cons of any issue so they can make Informed Decisions and increase the odds of finding the “right” answer, for them.
You see, it’s not who’s “Right” or “Wrong” but, knowing there are NO “unbiased” opinions – and that “Where you Stand depends on where you Sit” – the challenge to making good Decisions is to start by questioning one’s Assumptions and breaking free of our “prejudices,” because the truth usually lies somewhere in between.
There are always two sides, both of which have merit.
