A high distribution rate doesn't automatically mean a high return. One of the biggest mistakes investors make is confusing the two. The most important question isn't, "How much income did I receive?" It's, "What is the full picture?" Total return, NAV performance, distribution composition, tax treatment, risk, and income all matter. At TappAlpha, we believe investors deserve clear, apples-to-apples comparisons so they can look beyond the headline number and focus on the metrics that matter most to their goals. #Investing# #ETF# #InvestorEducation# #FinancialEducation# #TotalReturn# Disclosure This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to invest.

There are plenty of ways to invest. The goal isn't to convince everyone that one approach is right. The goal is to provide enough transparency, education, and information so investors can make the best decisions for themselves and their families. At TappAlpha, that's a core belief. Your portfolio represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and planning. Investors deserve to understand how strategies work, what risks they're taking, and what outcomes they're pursuing. The more clarity we can provide, the better decisions investors can make. #Investing# #FinancialEducation# #ETF# #Transparency# #InvestorEducation# #TappAlpha#

The newest United States National Strategy for Financial Literacy is a roadmap to help every American build the knowledge and skills needed to achieve financial security for themselves and their families. The advent of Trump Accounts demonstrates what this approach looks like in practice. By giving young Americans and their families an opportunity to save and invest together, we can make financial education tangible, help a new generation establish sound financial habits from an early age, and build the knowledge and confidence to participate in our financial markets.

85 students joined us at Universidad La Salle in Arequipa for another stop of the Binance University Tour! 🎓 Students learned about Binance’s new payment solutions and how the platform is evolving into a Financial Super App. The session also included a practical walkthrough of the Binance app, showing how different products and financial use cases come together within one ecosystem. In partnership with Mindot, we’re continuing to bring practical financial education closer to university students across Peru. 💛

DID THE BABY BOOMERS get F’d? A: in 1974 the Boomer’s were the first generation to receive ERISA aka the “401k,” without any financial education. ERISA=Employee Retirement Income Security ACT BTW: Anytime the government passes an act…the words mean the opposite. For Example “Social Security?” In 1964, Boomers were being taught by a new profession called “Financial Planners” also without any financial education to pitch the 60/40… 60% stocks 40% bonds. It took only 7 weeks to get a financial planner’s license back then. I could not believe it. I could see this crisis we are in today…coming….the crisis of Boomers getting F’d. Today, in 2026….Central Banks throughout the world are dumping US Bonds to buy gold….by the tons. When bonds go down… the stock market, like the S&P 500 will crash, which will leave millions of boomers out of time and out of money to recover. Millions of Boomers may be homeless or moving in with kids and grandkids. Hope I am wrong, but I do not think I am. My predictions, starting with the crash of Lehmann Brothers on CNN, on Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room show in 2008, has been on time and target. That is why I have ended my X’s with “Buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin” for years. Nothing has changed, except I do own rental apartments and oil wells in US. I am not a financial planner nor do I make money from my recommendations. That is why my x-wife Kim and I created the Cashflow Boardgame, in 1996, and I wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad in 1997 and many other books. Our mission has been to create products so people could teach people….what our schools and Wall Street will not teach you. Rough times ahead for the unprepared and great times for those that are. Please read, learn, join a Cashflow Club, teach yourself, and others. “The more you learn and the more you teach….the richer you become.” Please take care.
