Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · How to Invest During a Crisis: Oil, the Dollar, and What to Do Right Now with Lauren Simmons · 1 Apr 2026 podcast

The further note, if I was to get into oil or even defense stocks, I'm looking at the stability or I'm looking at the graph of their dividends and what they're paying out is.

And if the chart is not going up consistently, if it is not stable, I'm not going to touch that.

So I think that would be really good advice for people that if they're looking to pick up individual stocks and they're looking to pick up

more volatile stocks like why that would be something that they potentially would add to their portfolio do you reinvest your dividends yes always always yeah so you do the drip yeah yeah and i i have it set that way which you know makes your makes your money work for you more yeah how should people think about that

Well, again, it's going to come down to what your goals are.

If you don't want to take the rest of your money to just automatically reinvest and you want to look at other stocks or like income producing, depending on where you are.

Like ESGV.

Yeah, I was going to say, I think when I first started investing, and surprisingly it wasn't even while I was on the floor investing,

of the New York Stock Exchange.

I really wanted to learn and absorb as much as I could and make sure that I was financially in a place where I could actually invest in the stock market.

So I was having an emergency fund, making sure that my debt was paid off, and then really understanding my risk tolerance and, again, what my goals are.

But once I got that settled and what stocks I wanted to invest in, I was really big into ESG investing.

I...

still believe in it partly but i do realize that there is a lot of greenwashing that is going on within the space and while you while i think that we have the intention of having you know an esg mindset when it comes to picking companies and stocks and making sure that they you know are ethical and moral and they're putting their money toward the right things

you realize that you don't know everything that's going on behind the curtain.

And so sometimes you're investing in stocks, so you don't realize that they have partnered or have put money towards other organizations.

I think that there's just a lot of gray area in the space.

All that to say, that was a very long way of saying that, that if you were to ask me 10 years ago, yes, absolutely.

But now it's changed a lot because a lot of,

I've just been burned in the past with some companies that I've invested in not realizing where all their money was going to.
