| 10/7/26 | What’s the Safe Withdrawal Rate for Retirement? | On episode 243 of Ask The Compound, Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill answer six listener questions on bonds, retirement, financial planning, and the psychology of spending. They discuss when it makes sense for long-term investors to own bonds, how to think about safe withdrawal rates and aggressive retirement portfolios, and what adult children should ask when meeting with their parents’ financial advisor. Plus, whether high yields could ever justify going 100% into bonds, how higher interest rates could impact the debt financing behind the AI buildout, and how to overcome the financial anxiety of spending more to upgrade your lifestyle.

| 9/30/26 | When Will the Next Bear Market Hit? | On episode 242 of Ask The Compound, Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill discuss: when the next bear market and recession could hit, why rising Treasury yields haven’t rattled the stock market, and whether the AI boom could ultimately become the catalyst for the next major sell-off. Plus, insurance expert Jonathan Novy joins the show to explain when permanent life insurance actually makes sense, how to think about long-term care insurance versus self-insuring, and whether annuities can help cover future care costs. Ben and Duncan also break down why consumer sentiment remains so negative even as wages have largely kept pace with inflation, and whether taking advantage of 0% APR financing is actually a smart financial move.

| 9/23/26 | Why Do We Need Inflation? | On episode 241 of Ask The Compound, Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill answer listener questions on whether private markets are capturing more of the economy’s biggest gains before companies go public, what that could mean for index funds and ETFs, whether paying off a 2.875% mortgage can ever make sense, and how AI could reshape careers in equity research. They also discuss how to diversify an all-stock portfolio as a growth-heavy account gets larger, the role of defensive stocks, and why economies need some inflation, what causes deflation, and why falling prices can become a problem.
