Jason Hartman answers a listener question about investing in real estate amid COVID-19. When is a good time to start, or to extend a portfolio? Also, a reminder about the greater fool theory related to WSJ’s mention of Apple’s latest valuation. Invest in something that makes sense the day you buy it.

Phil Harvey is today’s guest, discussing his recent book and a few ways that tax dollars are distributed to some for questionable reasons. Phil shares everything from billionaires receiving million-dollar payouts for owning farmland to customers paying double the price of sugar in the local grocery store.
