Now that my updated list of physician FI bloggers is complete, I will start highlighting my favorite posts from these and other blogs every month.  Here is the September 2025 edition.  This one will be a little short.  I lectured at the annual APP Education Conference my urgent care company sponsors, and I had a trip with friends to Europe.  Not a lot of time to read blog articles.  But these were my favorites.  Enjoy. 

     I live and work in the Great State of Texas, so naturally I have an interest in oil and gas investments.  In fact, I have both mineral rights and a working interest in some oil wells through a partnership with a friend.  While Passive Income MD’s article, “Tax Benefits of Working Interest Ownership,” provides only basic information on the potential tax benefits of investing in oil and gas, it’s a topic I haven’t seen discussed before in the physician personal finance space.

     I’ve often wondered if the advantages of index fund investing can continue indefinitely.  My concern is that as more and more people index, including large investment funds, there is not enough price discovery to make the markets efficient.  Carl Jenson at 1500 Days To Freedom discusses another possibility with the rise of the private company unicorns in “Is This What Will Disrupt Index Investing?“

     I often wonder what financial lessons I’m teaching my children.  I feel like we live well below our means, but our house is in a gated community, our kids attend private school, and we have a vacation house in Hawaii.  My kids are still relatively young, but the time for financial education is fast approaching.  The White Coat Investor discusses 8 Ways to Teach Your Kids About Money.  I took notes.  

     I watched Jim Cramer on Mad Money in 2008 discuss stocks with “accidentally high dividends” due to their low stock prices after the GFC crash.  These were good companies that suddenly had dividend yields over 4%.  I invested in several during that time when I was still buying individual stocks.  These individual stocks still account for 14.58% of my securities portfolio, as I haven’t been willing to pay the capital gains necessary to exit them.    

     Loonie Doc released a 4-part series on Dividend Investing in September that covers the psychology behind dividend investing, tax-related issues, as well as the big question of whether dividend stocks outperform.  It’s worth the long read.
