SoFi’s Earnings Shine While PayPal & Boeing’s Earnings Look “Meh”
When a bank’s earnings cause the stock to pop more than 15%, then something definitely went right. At least that is what appears to have happened at SoFi this most recent quarter thanks to an earnings beat and raised guidance. Matt, Lou, and Tyler look at the highlights of the earnings reports and poke some holes into the thesis. Plus, Paypal’s earnings show a company in search of different shareholders, who’s to blame for Boeing’s persistent earnings misses, and why Instacart may be in a rush to close a deal. Have a question? Email us; podcasts@fool.com Tyler Crowe, Lou Whiteman, and Matt Frankel discuss: - SoFi’s earnings and why the market can’t make up its mind about the stock. - PayPal is a cash generator that no one seems to want -Boeing runs to production problems (again) -Are airlines going to have less appetite for new planes soon? -Instacart is shopping itself to potential buyers Companies discussed: SOFI, PYPL, BA, EADSY, RTX, GE, JBLU, DAL, CART, DASH, UBER Host: Tyler Crowe Guests: Matt Frankel, Lou Whiteman Engineer: Dan Boyd Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.

America's Real One Percent Has Nothing to Do With Silicon Valley or Wall Street
The wealthiest people in America aren't who you think they are. Together, they have more net worth than the Forbes 400 by a factor of ten — and almost no one has heard of them. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Eric Zwick, professor of economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and co-author of The Everywhere Millionaire, about the decade of research that rewrote what he thought he knew about wealth, inequality, and the American economy. They get into who actually makes up the top one percent, what these Main Street millionaires can teach public market investors about capital allocation and competition, and the economic indicators worth watching right now if you want to track the health of the businesses that actually power most of the country.

When to Contribute or Convert to a Roth Account
There’s an old saying about investing: It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep. Because you aren’t the only owner of your portfolio; you have a co-owner named Uncle Sam, and he eventually will want his share in the form of taxes. However, you can limit how much of your returns you lose to taxes by investing in a Roth retirement account, which offers tax-free growth and withdrawals. But there’s a trade-off: In a year when you contribute or convert to a Roth, you usually pay more in income taxes.Host Robert Brokamp discusses when a Roth makes sense with Wade Pfau, the founder of RetirementResearcher.com, the director of retirement research at McLean Asset Management, the co-host of the Retire With Style podcast, and the author of more than 60 research articles and four books, including “The Retirement Planning Guidebook.” Topics covered:-Who should contribute or convert to a Roth account-Why thinking just in terms of tax brackets doesn’t paint the whole tax picture-The sometimes faulty assumptions made by online tools-Why Roth accounts benefit retirees who may be subject to substantial required minimum distributions or Medicare surcharges-What types of investments are best for Roth accounts Host: Robert Brokamp, CFP®, EAGuest: Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA, RICPEngineer: Bart Shannon Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.
