Whether your adult children are moving back temporarily or never left the nest, having a clear plan can preserve both your finances and your family relationships.

Flattening yield curves, violent sector rotations, and shifting market leadership often trigger recession headlines—but do they really predict when markets will peak? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz look at why investors frequently confuse condition indicators with timing indicators. While yield curve flattening and rapid rotations between growth and value stocks can reveal that the market environment is changing, they don't tell you exactly when a recession or bear market will begin. 0:00 INTRO 1:02 - Markets' Response to Hormuz Limbo 5:54 - Consolidation Patterns Remain Unchanged 11:24 - The Risk of Continuing Iran Conflict 14:58 - The Ambiguous Fed 16:43 - Chip Stocks' Behavior 18:16 - Market Volatility is Low 21:35 - SEC Rules Changes & Liquidity 23:24 - The Japanese Yen & Carry Trade 29:58 - Japan's "Trolly Car" Problem & Risk to U.S. 32:47 - Yield Curve Warnings 37:43 - Long- or Short-duration Bonds? 40:05 - What's the Real Yield? 42:00 - Why Own Bonds Now?

It's Q&A Wednesday, and Lance Roberts examines whether the momentum-driven rally in semiconductors can continue, how the Iran cease-fire breakdown could affect markets, and what investors should watch ahead of the FOMC decision. We also answer your questions on the differences between the NASDAQ VIX and S&P VIX, whether government policies continue to support elevated real estate prices, investing in Canadian companies through IRAs, the implications of a yield curve un-inversion, portfolio rebalancing strategies, dollar-cost averaging, maintaining the right cash allocation, the rise of inverse ETFs tied to the Magnificent Seven, recent SEC rule changes, and the lawsuit challenging NASDAQ's handling of the proposed SpaceX listing. We also discuss technology versus semiconductor sector leadership and why electricity demand and long-term power contracts are becoming increasingly important investment themes. 0:00 INTRO 1:02 - FOMC Meeting Preview - Iran Cease Fire is Done 5:00 - Consolidation Range Continues; Momentum Trade in mostly Semi-conductors 6:58 - Risks from Iran Action 11:34 - Fight to the death & swats in school 14:11 - NASDAQ VIX vs S&P VIX 16:07 - How much of Real Estate prices are supported by Govt.? 17:04 - Canadian Companies in IRA's? 19:12 - Yield Curve inversion & un-inversions & Risk of Recession 26:13 - Mistakes with Cash in Investing (Cash = Opportunity) 29:17 - The Problem with Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) 33:03 - Criteria for Rebalancing Portfolio 38:17 - Mag-7 Inverse ETF 39:42 - SEC Rule Changes 44:54 - The Cash Cushion Has Never Been Thinner 46:13 - Technology vs Semi-conductors as sectors 47:11 - Lawsuit against NASDAQ for fast-tracking Space-X 47:43 - Electricity Contracts Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

Could you recognize a Ponzi scheme before it's too late? Most victims believe they're too smart to be scammed—until they're not. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn look at how Ponzi schemes, affinity fraud, and romance scams exploit trust, emotion, and urgency rather than intelligence. From promises of guaranteed returns to online relationships that suddenly turn into investment opportunities, scammers continue to steal billions from unsuspecting investors every year. We'll discuss the warning signs every investor should know, why even experienced professionals fall victim, and the practical steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your retirement savings. 0:00 INTRO 0:56 - ISM: Economy is Okay 3:11 - Market Compression & AI Arms Race 9:49 - Trump Accounts for Grandkids? 17:16 - Why Money Doesn't Survive Generations 20:16 - Trump Accounts vs 529's 25:34 - Ponzi Schemes & Scams 29:37 - When It's Too Good to Be True...It Is 31:53 - Investment Scams! 35:58 - Elderly Parents, Trust, & Romance Scams 39:12 - When You have to Become The Parent Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

The loss of a spouse is one of life's most difficult transitions, and for many retirees, it can also result in a significant reduction in Social Security income. Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explain the Social Security "Widow's Penalty," why survivor benefits often leave widows and widowers with less household income, and the planning strategies that can help protect your retirement. We discuss the importance of delaying Social Security when appropriate, planning for life as a surviving spouse, Roth conversions, IRA withdrawal strategies, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), and estate planning fundamentals that can help preserve wealth for the next generation. You'll also learn why communication between spouses is essential, how the step-up in basis can benefit heirs, why holding assets with large unrealized losses may create unintended consequences, and how thoughtful planning today can reduce financial stress tomorrow. If you're married, widowed, approaching retirement, or helping aging parents prepare for the future, this episode offers practical guidance on protecting both your income and your legacy. 0:00 INTRO 0:19 - America's 250th & Buc-cee's 5:42 - Narrative Busters & Stock Stories 6:48 - Commemorative SS Card 8:16 - American Ingenuity - Automotive Deep Scrub, Carpet Cleaning 12:40 - Widows' Penalty with Social Security 16:30 - How to plan for living single as Senior - Roth Conversions & IRA Withdrawals 18:25 - Importance of Delaying Social Security 22:41 - Importance of Estate Planning Basics 26:23 - Qualified Charitable Distributions to Reduce IRA RMD's 28:45 - Keeping the exemption for Two 31:02 - Importance of Communication - Who's Left Behind? 33:40 - Maximizing w Step Up in Basis - taking the losses before you pass 35:21 - Don't Die with Assets Holding Losses 39:21 - Closing thoughts - Plan Ahead & Catch Up Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan McCarty, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

Every market rally, pullback, and recession eventually comes back to one powerful force: interest rates. While investors often focus on breaking news and political headlines, the Federal Reserve's interest-rate policy has a far greater impact on stocks, bonds, inflation, retirement income, and long-term investment returns. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz explain what the Federal Reserve actually controls, why rate cuts have taken longer than many investors expected, and whether the Fed can truly tame inflation. We also discuss how higher interest rates affect retirement planning, the most common interest-rate mistakes retirees make, and what investors should watch as markets continue to react to changing monetary policy. 0:00 INTRO 1:12 - US Soccer & Pepsi Jump Jet Challenge 5:45 - Markets Move Higher 12:08 - Switching from Value to Growth 16:35 - Options Trading Influence 19:17 - Rate Expectations Under Keven Warsh at Fed 22:47 - June Employment Report Preview 26:38 - The Importance of Wage Growth 28:28 - The K-Shaped Economy is Changing 29:24 - The Challenges of Being a Value Investor 32:31 - SimpleVisor Tools for You 35:45 - Looking at the "Lag-7" 37:39 - Reversion to the Mean Explained (again) 40:29 - Margin Debt and Leverage Financing Costs 43:38 - Yen Carry Trade 45:27 - Weather Forcast accuracy & predictions Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Portfolio Manager, Michael Lebowitz, CFA Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

Should you leave your old 401(k) with a former employer, roll it into an IRA, move it to a new employer's retirement plan, or consider another option? The right answer depends on your goals, investment choices, fees, taxes, and retirement timeline. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn examine the advantages and disadvantages of each option, including investment flexibility, creditor protection, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), fees, and the tax implications that could affect your long-term retirement strategy. We'll also explain why leaving your 401(k) where it is may be the best decision in some situations—and why rolling it over isn't always the automatic choice. If you're changing jobs, approaching retirement, or simply reviewing old retirement accounts, this discussion will help you make a more informed decision before moving your savings. 0:00 INTRO 0:48 - End of June - Start of July 2:25 - Google Goes to DJIA 4:43 - Maintain & Monitor Risk 8:35 - Man Caves & Kitchens 9:18 - I Need to Rollover My 401k to an IRA 15:16 - What to Do with Your 401k 17:04 - What You Lose in an IRA 20:55 - Is This a Bad Time to Invest? 25:57 - Binary Investors 27:33 - Gating Returns in Private Credit Funds 40:18 - Dollar Strength & Precious Metals 43:31 - Why You Should Keep Money in a 401k - vs IRA Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

Was Milton Friedman right about inflation? Yes—but only if you quote the entire sentence. For decades, investors, economists, and financial media have repeated Friedman's famous statement that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." Unfortunately, most stop at the comma, missing the critical qualification that changes the entire meaning. Lance Roberts reveals what Friedman actually meant, why money supply alone does not guarantee inflation, and how velocity, productive capacity, and credit creation determine whether higher prices become a lasting inflation problem or simply a temporary price adjustment. 0:00 INTRO 0:56 - Short Trading Week + EOQ Dynamics 4:16 - Google Joins the DJA 5:33 - Markets Break 50-DMA: What Comes Next? 12:07 - Milton Friedman Was Right (but mostly misquoted) 17:37 - Why is Debt Important? 20:57 - CPI in the '60's & '70's 22:47 - How to Grow Money Supply 26:15 - Money Has to Grow for the Economy to Grow 27:16 - The Importance of Monetary Velocity 34:54 - Quality of Credit Matters more than Quantity 38:22 - Where's All the Money Coming From? 40:50 - Household Cash as % of Total Household Assets 42:32 - The K is Improving 44:15 - Retail MM Fund Balances, Equity Ownership Growth 49:56 - Two America's Behind One Average 51:49 - What to Do?
