6-6-25 Is 70 the New 65? Reshaping Retirement in America 06/06/2025

6-6-25 Is 70 the New 65? Reshaping Retirement in America Should the new retirement age be 70? Richard Rosso explores the financial, social, and personal implications of delaying retirement. What does working longer mean for your retirement planning in 2025 and beyond? Is it a necessity—or a trap? Whether you're nearing retirement or decades away, understanding how changes to the retirement age could affect your benefits and financial independence is critical. Listen or watch to hear what raising the Social Security age could mean for you and why 70 might become the new 65. We introduce another of our Summer Interns, Parker McGill, from the University of Tennessee; the aftershocks of the Trump/Musk feud; retirement savings trends are improving; Denmark has raised its retirement age to 70; should the US take a cue?

6-5-25 Fed Rates Cuts Do Not Equal Inflation 06/05/2025

6-5-25 Fed Rates Cuts Do Not Equal Inflation Are investors wrong to assume that rate cuts will automatically tame inflation? Lance Roberts and Michael Lebowitz challenge the belief that the Fed’s rate cuts always translate into lower inflation. Using historical data and current economic conditions, we explore how monetary policy really interacts with price pressures—and why rate cuts may actually stoke inflation under the wrong conditions. Specifically, Lance and Mike address the real impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts and inflation, why cutting rates doesn’t always reduce inflation, and some lessons from past economic cycles. What today’s investors should expect in 2025 📈 Stay ahead of the curve with real data, real analysis, and real investment insight.

6-5-25 S&P 7,000? 06/05/2025

6-5-25 S&P 7,000? Markets rallied in the morning and faded in the afternoon on Wednesday, which was no surprise: Markets are still overbought, wrestling with a momentum sell signal, and futures are flat ahead of Friday's BLS employment report. Markets anticipate the number will be weaker than expected, adding to the trend of weaker economic performance. If that's the case, markets could perform better, interpreting the data to foreshadow a lowering of interest rates sooner than later. (A stronger jobs report could ignite a sell-off, as rate cuts would be expected to be pushed back later in the year.) Markets are very close to all-time highs, with some Wall Street analysts pushing for S&P 7,000 by the end of the year. Similarly, the Mag-7 have come roaring back in the Nasdaq, and that index is also approaching new, all-time highs. Markets may continue to struggle to make gains, unlike the major moves we saw in April, but there's no reason to be negative on markets, presently; expectations for a retracement to recent lows is very slight. "Buy the Dip" should be the function for investors for now.

6-4-25 Will There Be a Summer Swoon? 06/04/2025

6-4-25 Will There Be a Summer Swoon? Is a summer swoon looming in the stock market for 2025? Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff explore the historical performance of the S&P 500 and major sectors during the summer months—June through August, and examine whether investors should brace for a seasonal pullback, looking at historical June-to-August returns and volatility trends, what typically drives a summer slowdown in stocks, and sector-by-sector analysis: What holds up best in weak seasonal periods? How do global macroeconomic conditions and slowing growth shape investor behavior? Lance and Danny also discuss how markets listen and absorb news...and adapt. The US is NOT going broke; Lance again discusses the economic benefits of needful government spending on infrastructure projects and the multiplier effect. Danny and Lance also parse a potential bill to ban sitting Congresspersons from investing in markets. SEG-1: Sell in May, or Go Away? SEG-2: Why June Isn't Always a Loser Month for Markets SEG-3: The More Markets Hear, the More They Adapt SEG-4a: Is the US Going Broke? SEG-4b: Should Congress Be Banned from Trading?

6-4-25 Sell in May & Go Away? 06/04/2025

6-4-25 Sell in May & Go Away? Should you sell in May and go away? Markets have had a strong rally following the sell off in April: Markets were under pressure, over sold, and sentiment got very negative. That sentiment has not totally reverse quite yet, and there is a lot of momentum behind the market presently. Price tends to carry price: As markets begin to rally, like a freight train, it's hard to stop. One thing to keep in mind: Lower returns are not necessarily negative returns. Technically, markets are doing fine, and behind the scenes some bullish activity has been occurring. Money flows have turned positive, and the Mag-7's are doing well again. Hedge funds have been under-weighted, which is being corrected, and that's adding octane; stock buy backs continue to add liquidity to the markets. The markets' consolidation process is actually bullish for investors. A breakout of consolidation will set up for a rally to new, all-time highs. How will that happen amid the falling dollar and the threat of tariffs? Markets tend to do what you don't expect.

6-3-25 Reports of the Death of American Exceptionalism are Greatly Exaggerated 06/03/2025

6-3-25 Reports of the Death of American Exceptionalism are Greatly Exaggerated Is America’s global leadership really fading? Lance Roberts & Jonathan Penn reveal the truth behind the “decline of American exceptionalism” narrative, and why the U.S. continues to lead in economic strength, innovation, and global influence. Today's show also features several bonus elements, including a recap of Mrs. Robert's trip to the Vegas Bitcoin Expo and convention robots; an exposition on the alleged death of American Exceptionalism, and a follow-up to the story of Mrs. Roberts' instant pickle recipe. Lance & Jonathan opine with chatroom participants about their first PC's, and Jonathan critiques a ChatGPT-created SWAN Portfolio. Parents have apparently failed an entire generation, if a survey of Google search terms is to be believed; Lance and Jonathan expose homeowner "wilding" as reason enough for HOA's, and Lance closes with the promise of opportunity. And amore focused show tomorrow.

6-3-25 Beware of Anti-US Narratives 06/03/2025

6-3-25 Beware of Anti-US Narratives he Dollar has been under s tremndous amount of pressure, which is enticing some investors to move assets into other currencies. As Dollar has declined we've seen a relative increase in Emerging Markets and International Stocks. The narrative now is that the decline in the Dollar is a decline in American Exceptionalism, so money must move away from US stocks. Be very careful with that notion: A longer view of Emerging Markets and International's will show those asset classes have still not quite made up for losses over the past 5-years. And an impartial look at where economic growth is going to occur in the future shows it's not going to be in Europe or emercing countries. They will benefit from a strong US market to come, but they're not going to be the drivers of innovation and growth. Another long-term view of the Dollar's performance reveals that it is now higher than it was ten-years ago.

5-29-25 The Death of Narratives 05/29/2025

5-29-25 The Death of Narratives President Trump's tariffs are being negated by Trade Courts, and markets feel inspired. Nvidia reports earnings, and is poised for a 6% gain today; we're still on the cusp of all that AI can do. Lance and Michael discuss the importance of recognizing and shutting out the narratives that distract investors; why we all seem to need a reason "why" things are as they are. Commentary on Nvidia's technology "moat;" comparisons to Apple's growth curve. How narratives matter (and do not); fundamentals are still long-term market drivers. The relationship between deficits and interest rates explored; beware of being too attached to any narrative. "The End of American Exceptionalism?" Don't you believe it.

5-28-25 What is the Risk to Nvidia? 05/28/2025

5-28-25 What is the Risk to Nvidia? Markets enjoyed a nice, 2% rally Tuesday on news of a pause until July on Eurozone tariffs by President Trump. (Remember our article in November 2024 revealing tariffs as NOT inflationary; see link below). Goldman Sachs came out this week admitting as much. Duh. This entire rally has been predicated on the realization that tariffs are not the inflationry boogie man, and not that big of a hit to the economy. It's all economic sticks & carrots by the Trump Administration. Money flows are very elevated to levels that are typically seen at the peaks of market advances, not the beginning. We've come very far, very fast; this is a good time to take some profits out of the market. Money flows into Nvidia since the bottom have been stellar, which has elevated the stock price; Nvidia is up 40% from the low. That's still 14% below its all-time highs, but a 40% gain is not chump-change. So the risk tomorrow, after the company's report tonight, is to the downside, or a very muted upside. Options pricing currently are foretelling a move of 7%, either up or down.

5-22-25 The Pullback We Needed 05/22/2025

5-22-25 The Pullback We Needed Markets sold off Wednesday, and we're still approaching a sell signal, which will be mild, at best. The 20-DMA has been very quietly sneaking up on the 100- and 200-DMA alignments. This is building a lot of support around 5,750. Yesterday's pullback was a much-needed event. The 50-DMA has also bottomed and is now turning positive, which is also supportive for higher stock prices. This sell off was not the beginning of the next leg down for the markets, but it is the pullback needed to get markets in a better position. Economic growth is still around 2.3%, employment data is fine, and there is no apparent sign of recession. Economically-sensitive sectors are continuing to perform well, which tells us that markets are okay with economic growth. Interestingly, without Fed intervention, interest rates have risen to about where economic growth should be. By the way, Bitcoin has been on FIRE lately, hitting new records at $110,000 Wednesday. Bitcoin is extremely over bought. Bitcoin is a great proxy for stocks and risk-taking. Right about now is when you should take a little bit of profits.

5-21-25 What Market Sectors Are Telling Us 05/21/2025

5-21-25 What Market Sectors Are Telling Us Market sectors can tell you a lot about what's happening in the real economy, and where money is being spent: This reflects into earnings. Investors also tend to invest in areas that are doing very well vs those that aren't. Money chasing money tends to give an indication of concerns in the economy. So what are sectors that are economically-sensitive say? Basic Materials: Money flows are coming in, which would not be the case were there concerns about the health of the economy. The Communications sector has seen a lot of recovery, particularly since the sell-off. Cap-ex for the Mag-7 companies are at all-time highs, specifically in AI-related areas. (News Flash: AI is not dead.) Utilities, which are sensitive to interest rates, have had a very sharp rise, reflecting the anticipated higher need for energy generation demands from AI. Another interest rate-sensitive area is Real Estate, which has been improving, but remains under pressure. Transportation and Energy have been improving, as well; Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsVVT2IzJuo&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next in-person event, "Retirement Income Empowerment Workshop," June 14, 2025: https://tracking.realinvestmentadvice.com/l/1052953/2025-05-08/ysxr ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketSectors #Economy #EconomicCommentary #BasicMaterials #Communications #Utilities #Transportation #Energy #AI #RealEstate #MarketRally #MarketPullback #BuyTheDip #InvestorPatience #RaiseCash #MarketConsolidation #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing /episode/index/show/lancerobertsshow/id/36656080

5-20-25 Are Markets Too Complacent? 05/20/2025

5-20-25 Are Markets Too Complacent? Are investors dangerously ignoring risk? Despite signs of slowing economic growth, elevated valuations, and geopolitical uncertainty, markets continue to trend higher with remarkably low volatility. Lance Roberts & Jonathan Penn address whether or not markets too complacent, remembering wedding anniversaries, and whether the ratings agencies are to be believed: Why even rate Treasuries at all? A look at bad headlines (If it bleeds, it leads), and whether now is a terrible time to retire; the reality that markets don't really care about anything but forward earnings guidance. We’ll explore why investor sentiment appears disconnected from fundamentals, what past periods of complacency have taught us, and how to identify the early warning signs of risk being mispriced. If you're concerned about market bubbles, overconfidence, or “this time is different” thinking, this episode offers important context — and caution.

5-20-25 Patience, Grasshopper 05/20/2025

5-20-25 Patience, Grasshopper Markets have improved in terms of breadth and trends, having come very, very far in a very, very short time. The S&P has been very over bought on momentum and relative strength; we are going to get a correction. That does not mean another 20% decline, but at some point a pullback will reverse some of the over bought conditions. We're also seeing this in the tech-weighted Nasdaq, which is very close to hitting its all-time highs. The whole Mag-7 group has broken above its trendline, and we have reversed all of the negativity. The Nasdaq, in particular, has begun building inverse head-and-shoulder patterns, reversing the negative trends building earlier in the year. Small Cap stocks, however, continue to suck this year, not having the recovery that large caps have had. The VIX remains very suppressed, with very little concern by investors whether or not there should be some type of correction. That type of complacency, in itself, is worrisome. Not even the Moody's downgrade was enough of a trigger for correction. June may hold the potential for a pullback in the market. For now, patience is the keyword.
