Motley Fool Money - Which Types of Investments Should You Own and Where Should You Own Them

It’s Month 4 of our financial planning challenge, which we’re calling “A Year Well-Planned.” This month, Fools Robert Brokamp and Stephanie Marini discuss the different ways to invest in stocks, bonds, and cash, and the account types to consider.

Topics covered:
-The pros and cons of index funds, actively managed funds, and individual stocks
-Choosing between cash and bonds for the safer side of your portfolio
-Which types of investments should go in taxable brokerage accounts, 401(k)s, IRAs, and Roths
-Two questions to ask of each of your investments: 1) If I didn’t own it, would I buy it today, and 2) is it in the right account?
Host: Robert Brokamp, CFP®, EA
Guest: Stephanie Marini, CFP®, CRPC®
Engineer: Bart Shannon

The Daily - ‘The Opinions’: General Stanley McChrystal on Iran

Did President Trump fall for the myth of surgical warfare? Gen. Stanley McChrystal joins the columnist David French, both veterans of the Iraq War, to discuss what may have been overlooked in the planning of Operation Epic Fury. McChrystal, who retired from the Army in 2010, argues that the United States often overestimates the decisive power of aerial bombing while underestimating the weight of historical grievance. And the general weighs in on the current culture of bravado coming from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

This conversation was recorded on Friday, March 20.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Was it Worth it, Pam?

It was a rough week for two of the top lawyers in the Trump administration, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer pair ... Ever since Donald Trump’s return to office and the installation of his (second choice) Attorney General, we’ve been tracking the toxic combination of incompetence and cruelty at the Department of Justice. Pam Bondi, Trump’s hand-picked attack dog for Attorney General, finally reached the point of no return. She’s out, and Todd Blanche is in … for now. Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss AG Bondi’s legacy, and why she may still be dragged before congress to answer for the DOJ’s mishandling of the Epstein Files. Meanwhile, over at One, First Street, Mr. Trump became the first sitting president to show up live and in person to oral arguments, in a woefully misguided possible attempt to intimidate “his” justices into buying his nonsensical theory about birthright citizenship. John Sauer, his Solicitor General, flopped and flailed, and revealed a fundamental flaw at the heart of the second Trump presidency: if loyalty is the only test, you might fail a bunch of other, more significant, tests. Finally, Dahlia and Mark unpack the thorny and confusing 8-1 decision from the High Court in Chiles v. Salazar, taking a huge bite out of conversion therapy bans, and what that means for LGBTQ youth and the First Amendment.
