9-10-26 What Will Inflation Data Do for the Fed? With CPI and PPI inflation reports in focus, markets are looking for clues about the Fed’s next move on interest rates. Will cooler inflation give policymakers more room to cut rates, or could hotter data force the Fed to remain cautious?

9-8-26 What Higher Bond Yields Mean for Your Portfolio 09/08/2026

9-8-26 What Higher Bond Yields Mean for Your Portfolio Why are bond yields moving higher, and what could that mean for investors? Rising Treasury yields can influence borrowing costs, economic growth, stock valuations, and bond prices. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down what may be driving yields higher, what the bond market could be signaling, and how changing interest rates can work their way through the economy and financial markets.

9-7-26 Is Inflation Data Getting It Wrong? - Oliver Rust Interview DESCRIPTION 09/07/2026

9-7-26 Is Inflation Data Getting It Wrong? - Oliver Rust Interview DESCRIPTION Is the Consumer Price Index accurately measuring the inflation Americans actually experience? Lance Roberts talks with Oliver Rust of Truflation about how real-time inflation data can differ from traditional CPI measurements. They examine housing and rent concessions, regional price differences, consumer substitution, the K-shaped economy, housing affordability, and the continuing resilience of consumer spending. Oliver also explains how Truflation builds its inflation index, where its methodology differs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, its work with the Federal Reserve, and what its data says about inflation now. Plus, they discuss what could come next as Truflation expands into employment and other economic indicators. For investors watching inflation, interest rates, housing, and the Federal Reserve, the question is increasingly important: Which inflation data best reflects the economy consumers are actually living in? 0:00 - INTRO 0:55 - What is Wrong with current Inflation/CPI Measurement? 2:46 - The Data Truflation Uses 5:36 - Solving for Interstate Price Variables 6:46 - How is Housing Weighted in Truflation Metric vs BLS & CPI 10:24 - The Concessions in Rental Agreements are not accounted for 15:00 - What is Inflation Doing Now? 16:42 - The Bifurcation in Housing - New Homes vs Existing Home Sales 18:23 - Housing Affordability & K-Shaped Economy 21:17 - Who's Right: CPI or Truflation?

9-4-26 Don’t Be a Retirement Castaway 09/04/2026

9-4-26 Don’t Be a Retirement Castaway Retirement planning is about more than building a portfolio. It’s also about deciding what comes next. Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explore the retirement crossroads: making the transition from work to retirement, finding purpose after a career, setting new goals, applying your skills in new ways, and overcoming the reluctance many retirees have to spend the money they’ve accumulated. We also dig into the financial strategies that can make a difference, including Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), donor-advised funds, charitable checks that aren’t cashed, changing tax rules, and potential retirement tax traps. Plus, what movies like The Intern and Cast Away can teach us about identity, purpose, relationships, and life after work. Retirement isn’t simply about whether you have enough money.

9-3-26 Is the Stock Market Expensive or Cheap? 09/03/2026

9-3-26 Is the Stock Market Expensive or Cheap? Is the stock market dangerously expensive, or are investors overlooking strong future earnings growth? The S&P 500’s Shiller CAPE ratio has reached 41, yet the PEG ratio, which incorporates expected earnings growth, is signaling one of the cheapest market valuations in decades. Michael Lebowitz and Lance Roberts examine why these two popular valuation measures are sending completely opposite signals. The key difference comes down to expectations: CAPE relies on historical earnings, while PEG depends heavily on Wall Street forecasts for future growth. We look at the reliability of those earnings forecasts, the extraordinary concentration of expected growth among a handful of large technology companies, the role of AI investment, and whether today’s valuations already price in too much optimism. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Jobs, JOLTS, & Economic Number Previews 5:01 - Markets are Stuck 11:04 - Vacation & Weekend Plans 12:23 - The Fed: What Will Warsh Do With Rates? 16:12 - The Truth About "Fed Buy Backs" 17:57 - Inflation Expectations are not Reason to Raise Rates 21:29 - No Guidance from the Fed? 23:48 - Valuations - What We Know vs What We Think We Know 28:48 - It all Comes Down to AI 32:12 - The Issue with PEG Ratios 36:12 - Dealing with Earnings Estimates Revisions 37:55 - How AI is Like the Railroads 39:34 -The Use of AI is Growing 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?

9-1-26 What Should You Expect From a Financial Planner? 09/01/2026

9-1-26 What Should You Expect From a Financial Planner? What should a good financial planner actually do for you? It should go far beyond choosing investments or building a retirement portfolio. A strong financial planning relationship should provide organization, accountability, objectivity, education, and proactive guidance while coordinating investments, taxes, Social Security, Medicare, insurance, estate planning, and retirement income. Just as importantly, your financial plan should evolve as your life, goals, markets, and tax laws change. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn examine what investors should expect from a financial planner, why personalization and communication matter, how a fiduciary relationship should work, and why good financial advice is ultimately about helping you make better decisions with your money. 0:00 INTRO 0:54 - Economic Previews & late earnings trickle in 3:15 - AI: Dis-inflationary AND Inflationary 4:57 - September is Seasonally Weak: 11:20 - Traditional Buy & Hold vs more active management & fear of gains 14:16 - Capital Preservation is first priority 17:44 - Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) vs S&P 20:04 - The Challenges of starting to build financial plan 26:00 - Getting Your Money's Worth from Financial Advisor 29:21 - The Problem of Account Accumulation & Dilution of Returns 34:02 - Budgeting, stress-testing, & tax planning opportunities 36:17 - Estate planning, medical directives, Durable POA 38:08 - Financial Planning priorities in Investing 39:06 - The Role of Life Insurance in Financial Planning 40:26 - Annuities' Bad rap - does it make sense? 44:00 - How much Liability Protection do You Need?

The bond market may have already delivered its verdict.

8-31-26 September Volatility Test Begins | Before the Bell September arrives with markets under pressure, volatility unusually compressed, and the S&P 500 testing key technical support. With earnings season over and economic data taking center stage, investors could face a more challenging stretch as momentum stocks weaken and midterm election uncertainty approaches. Lance Roberts examines the market’s sell signal, the potential for a pullback toward the 50-DMA and 100-DMA, and why the 7,500 area could become important support. With rapid market rotation making risk management more difficult, maintaining a cash buffer, managing bond duration, and avoiding emotional investment decisions could be increasingly important as September volatility returns.

8-28-26 Will Your IRA Go to the Right People? 08/28/2026

8-28-26 Will Your IRA Go to the Right People? Who inherits your IRA could matter just as much as what’s in it. The SECURE Act changed the rules for inherited retirement accounts, while newer IRS regulations created additional planning opportunities for trusts and multiple beneficiaries. Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty break down IRA beneficiary designations, the 10-year distribution rule, trusts as retirement account beneficiaries, and why outdated estate plans can create unintended tax consequences. Plus, we explain how properly structured trusts and subtrusts may provide greater flexibility for spouses, children, and other heirs. Before assuming your will or trust has your retirement accounts covered, make sure your beneficiary strategy actually works the way you intend. 0:00 INTRO 0:20 - Nana Nun, teaser: Designating Beneficiaries Can Become a Nightmare 2:03 - Uber & Zipline drone delivery; Why the Young "have no money" 9:23 - Account Titling and Probate Avoidance 14:00 - Revocable Living Trusts 15:57 - Setting Beneficiaries on Assets 18:31 - How to Use TOD (Transfer on Death) 20:10 - Mistakes w IRA Beneficiaries 25:39 - The Benefits of Online Savings (adding/subtracting beneficiaries) 27:47 - Best Practices for Titling: Be Specific 29:46 - Naming Contingent Beneficiaries 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?

8-27-26 Nvidia Says the AI Boom Is Just Getting Started Nvidia delivered another blockbuster quarter, reporting record revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year ago, as demand for AI infrastructure continues to accelerate. But the bigger story may be what comes next. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz break down Nvidia’s latest earnings, its extraordinary growth outlook, Blackwell and Vera Rubin demand, the massive buildout in AI infrastructure, and Nvidia’s growing financial involvement across the AI ecosystem.

8-26-26 Q&A Wednesday: The Biggest Risk to Markets Now Markets are facing a growing list of risks as investors head into the final stretch of summer.

8-25-26 Are Today’s Interest Rates Really That High? 08/25/2026

8-25-26 Are Today’s Interest Rates Really That High? Interest rates are rising, long-term bond prices have pulled back, and investors are once again worried that higher Treasury yields could threaten the economy and markets. But what if today’s rates aren’t historically high at all? After more than a decade of near-zero rates and easy monetary policy, investors may have become accustomed to an environment that was anything but normal. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn put today’s interest rates into historical perspective, examine what higher yields really say about inflation, growth, debt, and deficits, and explain why a 5% long-term Treasury yield may not be the crisis many headlines suggest. We’ll also look at what the changing rate environment means for stocks, bonds, portfolio risk, and investors deciding whether weakness in longer-duration bonds is a warning—or an opportunity. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Weekly Preview & Treasury General Account Bond Buy Backs 2:04 - Shorting Treasuries & The Hedge Fund Trade 5:37 - Markets Going Thru a Slow-Motion Correction 8:24 - BitCoin Rallies on Bessent Announcement 11:52 - Bonds & Rates: Brake or Break? 19:08 - Rates Are Normal 21:56 - The Primary Determinants that Set Loan Rates (Economic Composite Index) 25:46 - The Effect of Debt on Economy 29:46 - The Negative Multiplier, Measured (Gov't.

8-24-26 Is the Basis Trade Distorting Bond Yields? Are Treasury yields still sending investors a reliable signal about inflation, growth, and Federal Reserve policy, or is the massive basis trade distorting the message?

Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explain how a Custodial Roth IRA can help children with earned income start building tax-free retirement wealth early, while learning the importance of saving, investing, and paying themselves first. We also discuss Roth IRA withdrawal rules, the potential transition from Trump Accounts to Roth IRAs, and how even a lemonade stand can become a lesson in long-term wealth building. Plus, we look back at Wall Street history, the value of financial writing, and why understanding the past can make you a better investor. 0:00 INTRO 0:21 - Magic Mike & $100 Hot Dogs 2:46 - Wall Street Magazines from Days of Yore 4:36 - The story of Richard & Cecilia Wycoff & Wall Street Magazine 10:50 - The best knowledge is history 17:17 - Giving Kids a Head Start on Retirement w Custodial Roth IRA's 19:22 - Benefits of Jump-starting Retirement 21:51 - Getting on the Pay-Yourself-First track 22:56 - Content Creators & Demise of Writing 25:49 - Withdrawing Contributions from Roth IRA's before 59-1/2 27:13 - Converting Trump Accounts to Roth & J.

8-20-26 Is Treasury Bailing Out the Bond Market? 08/20/2026

8-20-26 Is Treasury Bailing Out the Bond Market? Is the Treasury stepping in to rescue the bond market, or is that the wrong way to interpret its purchases of long-term Treasuries? Lance Roberts and Michael Lebowitz examine why Treasury purchases are not necessarily the same as Federal Reserve quantitative easing, how issuing Treasury debt to fund an asset swap differs from creating new money, and what this could mean for bond yields, inflation, and investors.

But how do you separate useful financial education from bad advice, speculation, and outright scams?
