About this episode

Ben Carlson and Nick Maggiulli discuss tax-aware long/short strategies and their implications for investors.

On this episode of Talking Wealth, Ben Carlson is joined by Nick Maggiulli of Of Dollars and Data to discuss the growing popularity of tax-aware long/short strategies and when they actually make sense for investors. They break down tax-loss harvesting, the costs and risks that come with leverage and shorting, and why tax deferral shouldn’t be confused with tax avoidance. Plus, why investors hate paying taxes more than they like making money, when minimizing taxes can actually hurt your financial plan, the tradeoff between maximizing wealth and actually using it, and why the best strategy is often situational rather than one-size-fits-all.
