A visit of an American president to Israel is always a cause for pride, but in Jay Shapiro's opinion, the arrival of US President Joe Biden in Israel also raises some concerns.

The US administration does not hide its desire for Israel to take steps for the good of the Palestinians. Some of these seem petty, but pose a threat to Israeli narrative and Israeli sovereignty.

According to Shapiro, action must be taken with the government in a most decisive manner and it must be made clear to him, even if it involves controversy, that Israel is not prepared to relinquish its sovereignty in Jerusalem or to harm its security in any part of the Land of Israel.

MAZAL TOV! and Congratulations!! You just had a child! How can you ensure that they will be financially secure throughout their life?

Today, Doug speaks with Efraim, who is preparing to be a young father, about tips and tricks for the best way to financially prepare for a growing family, and how to educate young children about money, so you can best raise financially savvy kids.

As parents, we want the best for our kids, but it’s important to remember that a parent is not obligated to hand over $1M to their children when they grow up. Perhaps the best gift a parent could give their children is to educate them so they will be able to manage on their own. It’s never to young to begin teaching your child about money; even a 5-year-old can understand basic concepts, and as they grow older, they can understand more.

Make sure to listen to Doug’s three tips on what to teach your kids on handling their own money.

Don’t forget to model good financial behavior for your children, and put aside money for their future needs. When saving, it is a good idea to invest in an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund)?

Life insurance is something that is crucial for young parents or a young couple to have when they are planning on having kids, so if heaven forbid something happens, your kids will have something to help them get back on their feet.

Let me know how your children react to your implementing the three tips on handling their own money.

Does the price of a stock really matter?

Many people look at the price of a share before deciding whether to buy that particular stock. Should you follow your instinct and consider the price of a stock before deciding whether to buy it or not?

When buying a stock one of the factors that one needs to take into consideration is the PE ratio, the price per-earnings ratio of the company. The PE ratio is the calculation of how much a company earns divided by the price of the company. Listen to today’s episode to learn how to calculate a company’s PE.

Once we understand why people are willing to pay 10, 30, or even 400 times earnings, ask why should someone do that? If I can pay a cheaper price for a similar stock, why should I buy the more expensive one?

The answer is different people look at stocks differently. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; what is important to one person may not be as important to someone else. The most important thing to keep in mind is that if the PE ratio is very different, probably the stocks aren’t exactly the same.

When investors are willing to buy stocks at higher PE ratios, it’s often because they believe that the company will increase its earnings, and, once that happens, the initial price of the stock will rise, and they can walk away with a profit.

Let us know if you look at the PE ration before you buy a stock.

The Swedes: On June 6th Sweden celebrated their National Day. During the month, the Swedish Ambassador to Israel also opened an exhibition about Sweden’s 70 years of diplomatic presence in Israel.

Hear: A revealing interview with the Ambassador in which he discussed the reasons for Sweden’s decision to break their historic ‘neutrality’ and apply for membership of NATO.

When: The end was near, Sweden’s policy also changed, and they made a commendable humanitarian effort to rescue Jews.

Israel: Stands once again at a political crossroad with its government in turmoil, elections probable and the left wing in decline. The true right wing, represented by the influential Sovereignty movement is in ascendance. Hear how they see the future.

Plus: All about the incessant arrivals in Israel of foreign statesmen and women hoping to go down in history as peacemakers between the fake ‘Palestinians’ and the Jewish owners of this land.

In this week’s show, Doug and Efraim talk about how bonds are affected by inflation and interest rates. What are the differences between high and low-interest rates, and what causes them to change?

Doug explains why when the government is concerned about the economy, the Fed lowers the interest rates which affects the banks and allows them to lend more money to companies and individuals… who will hopefully spend that money and strengthen the economy. While the theory sounds good, in reality, this is exactly what increases inflation. Keep listening to learn about what the dangers of inflation are, and what governments can actually do to negate inflation.

Inflation eats away at a bond’s value, because the initial dollars you put are worth less than when the bond matures in an environment.

Some folks feel that by buying TIPs (Treasury Inflation Protected bonds) they are protected from inflation. Listen to find out if this is true or just a myth.

Periods of high inflation are tricky for investors because people don’t know how much their dollars will be worth in the future.

Today, Doug talks about the two main myths about how to invest when inflation is high:

1. Buying gold – Some people believe that the price of gold goes up during periods of high inflation. But that’s not always true. 2. Buying real estate - Some people think that in times of high inflation it is a good idea to invest in real estate. Doug explains why it is important to be careful that you aren’t buying into a bubble which is reminiscent of the 2008 crash.

Have you considered that being invested in the stock market could be a hedge against inflation? Equities may be a good inflation-fighting strategy since being in the market when inflation is high is “riding the wave” of the money that’s being pumped into the system. But be careful!

Do you look at the news and think that the world is in crisis? How should you invest when things are looking tough around you?

First, it is essential to break down your goals into short-, medium- and long-term investments. It is important to understand that short-term investments should be held in a less risky portfolio, and the longer-term goals can be exposed to a riskier portfolio.

A way to use a crisis to your advantage maybe by trying to figure out what are the “bigger” costs to the crisis. For example, in the Russia-Ukraine war, perhaps investing in companies that build the airplanes or supply ammunition, or even looking further and investing in companies (or ETFs) that might be involved in building material for the countries that will need to re-build. Creative investors need to keep their eyes open and look for clever ways to invest.

During times of crisis, investors should keep in mind the size and power of who and what is in crisis. For instance, Russia is a huge country with lots of smart and hard-working citizens. Even if the economy is currently not booming, Russia probably is not disappearing any time soon.

People shouldn’t forget that the world keeps on moving forwards, and as history has shown, one day the world will move on from this war and focus on something else.

Hear: Walter’s interview with the Polish Ambassador to the UK recorded in 1998, about the undignified maintenance of the Auschwitz Birkenau Death Camp and the involvement of the Catholic Church with implied anti-Semitism.

All: About Jonathan Pollard’s view of the actions of Bennett, and his disappointment with the damage caused by the present government’s policies. (first published in Arutz 7’s news site).

Why: Jordan, Turkey and countries with questionable human rights record should not interfere with Israel’s actions on the Temple Mount, protecting its citizens and Muslim worshippers from hordes of rock and fire bomb throwers.

The: Many challenges from the hostile world that Israel faced for years, listed by Shurit Hadin, Israel’s Law Centre, the organisation most active in defending against BDS and fake accusations.

A Note: About French President Macron vs. Marine Le Penn the leader of the French far right nationalist party in the context of their forthcoming election for the National Assembly.

Walter’s: Final comment: Israel has an existing law to allow the death penalty. It should be the only sentence for terrorist murder. It would prevent premature release in prisoner exchanges and there is evidence of released terrorists re-offending. The taxpayer, including bereaved families would not have to contribute to the expense of providing amenities for terrorist murderers in our prisons.
