The stock market has done well since it bottomed out during the pandemic, and many investors now find themselves with big gains but also with out-of-balance portfolios.  Yet they may be reluctant to rebalance because of the tax implications of those big gains.  Our guest, however, says that there is a possible strategy to improve your portfolio’s diversification without paying those current capital gains taxes. Mike Switzer interviews Rick Van Der Noord, a certified financial planner in Greenville, SC.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
