What This Market Is Really Telling Us (4/21/2025) 29:55

for 3 dager siden29:55

29:55

Brian cuts through the noise surrounding market volatility, interest rates, and U.S.-China trade tensions. As the S&P 500 and Dow show signs of technical stress—with major players like Nvidia and Apple influencing index performance—Brian explains why low-volume selloffs might not be as dire as they appear, and why institutional investors are still holding steady. He explores the practical impacts of tariffs, particularly those targeting China, not from a partisan lens, but from a macroeconomic and behavioral standpoint. With a live call-in from a 24-year-old listener, the show evolves into a broader discussion on generational investing, the rise of AI and robotics, and how young investors should be thinking about long-term opportunity, not just short-term volatility. We wrap up with a call from Congressman Russ Fulcher, who affirms the administration's tariff strategy as a driver of long-term domestic investment. Brian ties it all back to fundamentals: investing against the U.S. economy has historically been a losing bet. Now may be one of the best times to lean in strategically—not emotionally. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley…

Rebalancing, Roth, & Rising Care Costs (4/19/2025) 41:37

for 4 dager siden41:37

41:37

In this solo-hosted episode, Jeremiah Bates explores the week’s financial news and practical planning strategies—anchored by real-world client conversations. While Wall Street processed more volatility, led by Nvidia’s $5.5B hit and Apple’s China-related struggles, Jeremiah explains how index weighting magnifies the market impact of tech giants and why understanding portfolio construction matters more than ever. But markets are only part of the story. Long-term care costs are skyrocketing—like a $12,000/month surprise bill for a client’s mother—and how families can prepare. He discusses tools like Miller Trusts, Medicaid planning rules, and how some families might self-fund care without sacrificing their financial stability. Plus, tax-efficient strategies like Roth conversions and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) for retirees facing RMDs they don’t need. It's important to understand your tax brackets, filing status, and charitable intent when making these decisions.

Opportunity Among Chaos (4/14/2025) 30:12

for 10 dager siden30:12

30:12

Brian Wiley breaks down one of the most emotionally charged and telling market sell-offs in recent memory. On April 8th, Main Street investors hit the panic button in response to tariff news, triggering a cascade of 401(k) liquidations and driving down markets in dramatic fashion. Brian, watching the sell-off unfold mid-flight, saw a flashing opportunity—not a crisis. Drawing from 26 years of advisory experience, Brian underscores how behavioral responses—not fundamentals—often drive volatility. He explains how mass sell orders from retirement plans compounded the drop and created clear buying signals for those paying attention. From rebalancing 401(k)s and maximizing HSA tax benefits to switching out underperforming stocks for better-positioned growth plays, the episode offers both macro commentary and actionable insights. Using real-life client examples and his own personal trades—including moves into Micron, Delta, and Tesla—Brian drives home a key message: investors need to prepare, not react.

Markets Are Predictable (4/12/2025) 1:21:24

for 11 dager siden1:21:24

1:21:24

After the crazy week, Brian and Jeremiah dissect what they call the most emotionally driven and predictable market sell-off of their careers. Brian shares how, mid-flight, he scrambled to access Wi-Fi—not to panic, but to buy—spotting a clear opportunity as investors dumped assets out of fear. The hosts emphasize a critical truth: emotional decisions, not strategy, drive most investment mistakes. Missing just the top 10 days in the market over decades can cut your returns in half. Timing matters—but only if you're prepared. Jeremiah highlights how uncertainty around tariffs, treasury yields, and economic policy triggered fear-based behavior, not grounded planning. The message is clear: strategy beats headlines, and emotion is your portfolio’s worst enemy. For those still working, market drops are opportunities. For retirees, preparation—liquidity, proper asset allocation, and planning—prevents disaster.
