Brexit and other Wall Street stories that dominate the market before I catch up on the emails from several listeners

I open today’s show by giving my take on how MSCI deciding against the inclusion of mainland shares in the Chinese index, a potential bond trap stemming from Brexit and some positive light on extremely volatile mortgage REITs among other Wall Street stories affect your portfolio. Yesterday’s discussion about Roth IRA conversions comes up again while responding to a couple questions about Roth conversions in kind and converting from a 401k to spread out taxes. James from Piedmont calls with some concern about the future of telecom and utilities P/E rates. Other topics today include:

• Indexed life insurance presenting a prime example of why better regulations for financial advisors are needed
• Umbrella insurance
• The proper way to title a home in California
• How to buy insurance on a stock portfolio without constantly buying Puts
• What to do with safe money when you choose to work past retirement age
