Release Date: 06/11/2024

5-19-26 Bull Market Reality Check | Before the Bell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets have now advanced for seven straight weeks, a historically bullish signal for long-term returns. But short-term risks are starting to build beneath the surface. Momentum is weakening, breadth remains soft, and markets are approaching a potential sell signal as overbought conditions begin to unwind. In this episode, we break down why a pullback toward the 20-DMA — and possibly the 7,000 breakout level — would not be unusual after such a strong rally. We also examine the historical pattern of market corrections following the appointment of a new Fed Chairman, election-year volatility...

5-18-26 Market Leadership is Narrow

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Narrow market leadership is becoming a growing risk for investors heading into the summer months. While the S&P 500 continues pushing near record highs, a small group of mega-cap technology stocks is carrying most of the market higher as broader participation weakens beneath the surface. Lance Roberts breaks down why concentrated leadership matters, what history says about narrow rallies, and why stretched momentum in semiconductors, AI, and mega-cap growth stocks could leave markets vulnerable to sharper volatility ahead. We’ll review the widening gap between cap-weighted and...

5-18-26 Momentum Meets Gravity | Before the Bell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Despite Friday’s sell-off, the market just completed its seventh straight week of gains since the April lows. Momentum has turned bullish again, but the speed and angle of this rally are creating growing risks beneath the surface. In today’s pre-market update, we examine why sharp deviations from long-term moving averages matter, how the current rally differs from the 2023–2024 advance, and why correction risk is increasing as markets stretch further above the 200-DMA. We discuss the importance of mean reversion, why extreme momentum can eventually create larger pullbacks, and what kinds...

5-15-26 What Your Advisor Should Really Do

The Real Investment Show Podcast

What should you really expect from a financial advisor? Is your advisor acting as a fiduciary, managing risk, helping with taxes, retirement income, estate planning, and behavioral coaching, or just selling products and chasing performance? Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty break down the real role of a financial advisor, what services matter most, how advisors are compensated, and the warning signs investors often miss. We also discuss fiduciary standards, portfolio management, communication expectations, financial planning, and why transparency matters more than promises.. Here's a...

5-14-26 Inflation Surge Hits Markets?

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Inflation pressures may be heating up again, and markets are beginning to notice. Rising prices can have major consequences for stocks, bonds, interest rates, and Federal Reserve policy. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz discuss why persistent inflation is dangerous for both investors and the economy, how rising yields pressure bond prices, and why higher rates can challenge stock valuations — especially in high-growth and technology sectors. We also examine whether the recent market rally is underestimating the risk of another inflation wave. Here's a topical rundown of today's show:...

5-14-26 Momentum Mania Meets Market Rotation | Before the Bell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets remain heavily concentrated in high-beta Momentum trades, especially in Semiconductors and large-cap Growth stocks. But when speculative momentum runs go parabolic, history shows the reversals can be just as sharp. In today’s pre-market update, we break down the difference between market sectors and investment factors, why the Momentum trade has gone vertical since April, and how rotations into Value, Quality, and Fixed Income could begin as investors reduce risk. We’ll also examine why high-beta names could face the biggest downside during a correction, what a retracement in...

5-13-26 Q & A Wednesday: Real Answers. No Spin.

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Q&A Wednesday is back. Markets are pushing record highs while oil prices surge on renewed Iran and Strait of Hormuz tensions, inflation concerns remain elevated, and the AI trade continues to dominate Wall Street headlines. Investors are also watching the Fed, tariffs, interest rates, retirement risks, taxes, and portfolio positioning as volatility quietly builds beneath the surface. Lance Roberts and Danny Ratliff answer your questions, live, with straightforward analysis and no spin. Bring your questions about markets, retirement planning, portfolio management, taxes, risk,...

5-13-26 Buying Stampede: Good News & Bad News | Before the Bell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets are now approaching seven straight weeks of gains in one of the strongest buying stampedes since 1950. While bullish momentum, earnings growth, and corporate buybacks continue to support higher prices, markets are becoming increasingly stretched above long-term moving averages. We discuss why sharp advances like this often lead to short-term pullbacks, where key support levels may emerge, and why those corrections can create stronger opportunities for investors later in the year. Is this the start of a larger correction, or just a healthy pause before the next move higher? Watch...

5-12-26 Five Questions for Smarter Money Decisions

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Should you pay off debt, invest more in your 401(k), or do both? Lance Roberts & Jon Penn walk through five real-world financial decisions that millions of Americans face every year. Using new Vanguard research and simple math, we break down how to prioritize credit cards, mortgages, student loans, retirement savings, and employer matches to maximize long-term wealth. We also discuss why the mathematically correct answer is not always the emotionally correct one, and how personal priorities, risk tolerance, and peace of mind factor into financial planning. Key topics include: 0:00 -...

5-12-26 Tech Rally Risk Is Rising | Before the Bell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Technology stocks continue to dominate the market as XLK and momentum-driven trades surge higher, but the rally is becoming increasingly narrow. Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Energy, and Materials are lagging badly while Technology pulls the broader indexes higher. In today's pre-market update, we examine the growing divergence between Technology and the rest of the market, why overbought momentum conditions matter, and how concentrated rallies can create hidden risks for investors. We also discuss sector rotation, portfolio diversification, and why maintaining exposure to lagging...
