Hi Dean, thank you for sharing your wisdom! Question: if US dollar goes down, what stocks/investments should a person buy? Foreign stocks, US stocks, US futures? Also, what affects the credit spread? US treasury bonds? AA rated bonds?
There is no such as US futures. If the dollar goes down US exports become more competitive so stock in a US exporter like Boeing. The credit spread moves with business cycle. A widening credit spread is negative and a narrowing spread is positive.
Hey Dean! I love your videos. I was hoping you could clarify this question from Pass Perfect for me, " With a qualified plan: B) Employers deduct their contributions from their income C) Most types of contributions are not taxed till withdrawal" I chose B, and the answer was C. Explanation says "Contributions by both employers are not deducted from their income, but are contributed from their income" Are they just playing tricks on me? I'm so confused!
Hey Dean. I realize this is an old video, but I had to ask. I have been watching your videos for about a week now and I have learned a lot! My biggest worry is if they are going to throw questions at me that go super in-depth about regulations and procedures. Is that the case? Or will they generally be "point, shoot, and click" questions with some judgement based ones tossed in there. I have PassPerfect through and employer and I am convinced I get questions that are not supposed to be a part of the SIE, but the ones that I am supposed to know are second nature if that makes sense. What are your thoughts? Thank you and keep up the great work!
The practice question at minute 10:00 asks which is the most exposed to inflationary risk which I think was B. You said C was correct because it was more exposed to interest rate risk. Am I wrong?

The contribution from the corporation is pre tax to the employee
@@Series7Guru gotcha! I got confused when they said income, I just assumed it was pretax. So Income is what’s received post-tax! Thank you so much!
thank you! taking the SIE friday!

The information in this is current as it relates to the test. The test questions and content have not changed

C is correct. Long term bonds have inflationary risk. B is not correct. T bills mature in less than a year thereby limited your exposure.
@@Series7Guru okay thank you!
