Portfolio Tradeoffs: There is No Unicorn Investment
The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts discuss one of the most common challenges investors face: balancing competing priorities like income, growth, downside protection, and liquidity. We look at the tradeoffs behind every investment decision, why you can’t compare your portfolio to the benchmark, and why your asset allocation really needs to start with your financial plan.

Borrowing Against Your Portfolio: Strategic Liquidity or Risk on Top of Risk?
A securities-backed line of credit can provide access to cash without selling an investment—but what happens when the collateral is a single, highly concentrated stock? We examine how this borrowing strategy works, why it may appeal to some investors, and how a falling share price could trigger a maintenance call, forced sale, or costly scramble for cash.
Could Radish Take Root? A New Approach to Workplace Savings
Could a new workplace savings plan called Radish help employees build retirement savings without contributing from their paychecks? We compare the idea with 401(k)s, traditional pensions, and cash bonuses, consider whether employers and workers would embrace it, and discuss savings options for those without access to a workplace retirement plan.
Will Social Security Be There for Gen X?
Social Security headlines can make it sound as though Gen X will be left with nothing—but is that what the projections actually show? We explain what the program’s projected shortfall could mean for future benefits, why advisers still expect Congress to act, and how investors can account for the uncertainty in their retirement planning.
We discuss financial planning encompassing spending, saving, taxes, investments, insurance, retirement, estate plans, and more.
