The Biggest Short Squeeze of All-Time (EP. 467)

Today's show is sponsored by White Charts. By this time of the year, most advisors are already in mid-year mode, I know I am. You're running client education sessions, reviewing estate plans ahead of summer travel, and starting to have real conversations about how portfolios are tracking so far this year. And the reality is most of the work still lives across spreadsheets, PDFs, and disconnected tools. YCharts pulls all of that into one place.

You could take a portfolio, instantly see how it's tracking, compared to its targets, and turn it into something you can actually use in a client conversation without rebuilding everything from scratch. It's the difference between preparing for hours and being ready in minutes. If you're in the middle of these conversations right now, it's worth trying.
