Es herrscht weiterhin Flaute beim US-Dollar. Ist es nur ein Durchatmen vor einem weiteren Anstieg oder kann Kevin Walsh dem politischen Druck nicht standhalten und der Markt zieht erneut eine Zinssenkung in Betracht – mit einhergehender Abwertung des US-Dollars. Wieland Arlt, CFTe und Präsident der IFTA geht dieser Frage in dieser Ausgabe von Fast & Forex nach.

JB White's last show before a long summer break, and he is not going quietly. He opens with his read on the Beijing summit: Trump brought the entire American economy into Xi Jinping's room, combined it with the secretary of war and the combatant commands, and the result was China walking away from Iran and committing to large American purchases. He walks through Thomas Whitaker's sharp breakdown of what 30 CEOs on Air Force One actually signals, plays Pete Hegseth's $1.5 trillion defense budget video, and adds his own commentary on why private sector plus public sector power is a combination no adversary can match. He also delivers his clearest and most direct takedown yet of the sovereign alliance narrative, calling America, Russia, China alignment utopian nonsense and a discernment test. Kevin Walsh replacing Jerome Powell closes the loop on Bitcoin. Later gators.

Federal Reserve Transition and Rising Dissent The most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting marked a significant transition point, as it was the final meeting led by Chairman Jerome Powell. While leadership changes at the Fed are not unusual, one unexpected development stands out: Powell will remain on the Board of Governors after stepping down as chairman, an uncommon move that introduces a new dynamic within the institution. This decision raises important questions about influence and governance. Former chairs rarely stay on due to the potential complications of overlapping authority, making Powell's continued presence noteworthy as the Fed prepares for incoming leadership under Kevin Walsh. Equally significant is the rise in dissent among committee members. Four out of twelve participants opposed the latest decision, bringing the annual dissent rate to approximately 19%, a relatively high figure by historical standards. While markets often interpret dissent as instability, it may instead signal a healthier, more transparent decision-making process. Diverging viewpoints can lead to more rigorous debate and ultimately stronger policy outcomes. In a complex and uncertain economic environment, unanimity may be less realistic, and less desirable, than thoughtful disagreement. Increased openness within the Fed could provide clearer insight into policy direction and improve market understanding over time. Technology Drives a Strong Earnings Season Corporate earnings have taken center stage, delivering a much-needed boost to market confidence. Following a period of geopolitical tension and rising oil prices, recent earnings reports, particularly from the technology sector, have exceeded expectations and helped propel the S&P 500 higher. The scale of growth within technology has been particularly striking. First-quarter earnings for the sector are projected to grow by more than 50%, far outpacing the rest of the index. Even more notable is the upward revision of future expectations, with 2026 earnings estimates increasing by nearly 15 percentage points as companies accelerate capital investments, especially in artificial intelligence. While debate continues around the long-term payoff of AI spending, early indicators suggest these investments are already contributing to stronger earnings. Enhanced productivity and improved margins are reinforcing the sector's leadership position. If execution remains strong and economic conditions stay supportive, technology companies appear well-positioned to sustain above-average growth. This momentum could continue to play a central role in driving broader market performance and potentially reducing volatility, particularly in historically turbulent election cycles. Economic Stability: GDP and Labor Market Strength The broader economic picture remains steady, with first-quarter real GDP coming in at approximately 2%, aligning with long-term growth targets. After accounting for inflation, this figure reflects a stable and resilient expansion, supported primarily by strong consumer spending. Consumers continue to be the backbone of the economy, representing roughly 70% of total activity. Their consistent spending has offset weaker areas such as housing, which has remained a drag on growth. Meanwhile, components like government spending, trade, and inventories have shown volatility, largely influenced by policy uncertainty and external factors. One of the most compelling data points comes from the labor market. Initial jobless claims recently dropped to 189,000, the lowest level since 1969 on a raw, non-adjusted basis. This milestone underscores the continued strength of employment conditions, one half of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate alongside inflation control. While inflation remains an ongoing challenge, the strength in employment provides a solid foundation for the economy. Markets have responded positively to these signals, though attention remains focused on how external pressures, such as geopolitical tensions and energy prices, may influence future quarters.

Brian Szytel reviews a strong Thursday market rebound, with the Dow up 850 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up about 1%, driven mainly by earnings, including a “Mag Seven” report that lifted the world's largest search engine about 9% (a roughly $400B one-day market-cap gain). Economic data were supportive: initial jobless claims printed 189 versus 214 expected, personal spending was in line, personal income beat expectations, and March PCE inflation matched forecasts at 3.5% (3.2% ex-energy). GDP came in at 2.0% versus 2.3% estimated, with expectations for revisions and a Q1 composition heavily driven by equipment spending and IP investment tied to data centers and AI.

Brian Szytel recaps a mixed market day with the Dow down 280 while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 were flat, as blue chips lagged and tech was positive. Treasury yields rose (10-year up 7 bps to 4.42%; 30-year briefly above 5%) alongside higher oil prices (WTI up ~8%, Brent up ~1%) amid Middle East tensions. He highlights three crosscurrents: the UAE leaving OPEC and its implications for oil-price control and potential benefits to U.S. shale; the FOMC holding rates with Powell signaling no cuts this year, inflation risks, unusual four dissents, and Kevin Walsh set to lead the Fed starting May 16; and “Mag Seven” earnings (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta) shaping sentiment as overall earnings growth runs ~15.1% YoY. He also addresses real estate divergence (Class A diversified vs weaker markets), notes strong durable goods orders and steady housing starts, and says the S&P is up ~5% YTD with a modest upside bias despite volatility.| 00:00 Market Close Recap 00:32 Oil Surge and Rising Rates 00:54 UAE Exits OPEC 02:31 Fed Decision and Dissents 03:34 Mag Seven Earnings and AI Spend 04:25 Real Estate Divergence Explained 05:14 Durables and Housing Data 05:44 Rangebound Outlook and Signoff Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

In Episode 185 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, are recording live from Omaha at PodPony's studio during Carson's Q2 board meeting. They make a pilgrimage to the McDonald's on 40th and Dodge that Warren Buffett reportedly frequents. They got the scoop on his usual order, but did Buffett himself show up? You'll have to listen to find out!On the markets side, Ryan breaks down why the current secular bull market started in 2013 and what history says happens after you're up 100%, which is exactly where this bull market now stands from the October 2022 lows. The S&P just hit its 10th all-time high of the year, forward profit margins just reached a record 15.2%, and the data on "sell in May" may surprise you. Ryan's numbers show May has been up 12 of the last 13 years.The episode also covers the oil picture with WTI back near $100 and the Strait of Hormuz situation still unresolved, the consumer sentiment disconnect between how people feel and what retail sales are actually showing, and the Fed outlook heading into tomorrow's decision. Sonu explains why Kevin Walsh is leaning on trimmed mean PCE to justify rate cuts, and Ryan calls him out for putting everyone to sleep. Gold gets a candid look too, still in a long-term bull market but stretched after a massive run, with real rate pressure creating some short-term headwinds.Key Takeaways:The S&P 500 just hit its 10th all-time high of the year, and the bull market has officially crossed the 100% gain mark from the October 2022 lows.Forward profit margins just reached a record 15.2%, the highest ever recorded.Ryan makes the case that the current secular bull market began in 2013 and explains what history says comes next.Sell in May is largely a myth.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US signaled it would stick with a naval blockade of Iranian ports, as it tries to choke-off Tehran’s oil exports and force it back to the negotiating table. US President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that Iran was in a “state of collapse.” His treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, later said Washington’s “maximum pressure campaign” had caused Iran’s inflation to accelerate and that the country was running out of oil storage. It would soon have to start cutting production, Bessent said.2) King Charles III called on the US to maintain its leadership role in the world, and to support Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in a remarkably pointed speech for a monarch that urged Americans to resist the pull of isolationism.Charles used his remarks to a joint session of Congress — the first such address by a British monarch in more than three decades — to argue for preserving the alliance between the UK and US. The king appealed to the shared heritage between the two nations, sprinkling his remarks with references to culture, religion and principles behind America’s decision to declare independence 250 years ago 3) With the Fed widely expected to keep rates on hold at the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, the more interesting revelation will concern Jerome Powell’s future: Will he stay on or leave the Fed when his term as chair expires May 15? Regardless of his plans, we think Powell will offer only limited forward guidance on policy at his final news conference as chair, with Kevin Walsh on track to be confirmed as his successor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's a fun lawyer joke: Why does New Jersey have so many toxic waste dumps and Washington, DC have so many lawyers? Because New Jersey got the first pick. The stereotype about dishonest, soulless, ambulance-chasing lawyers who put their own wallets ahead of the needs of their clients might have some basis in reality. But the legal profession can be a great way to promote justice and work for the common good. This episode's guest is one of these sorts of lawyers who has dedicated his whole career to making the world a more just place. Kevin Walsh is the former acting state comptroller for the state of New Jersey. In that role, to which he was appointed by Governor Phil Murphy, Kevin's job was to lead a team that investigated fraud and abuse within government systems and government-funded programs. Before that job, Kevin led a public interest nonprofit that fought for the construction of more affordable housing in the state. And while doing that job, he was one of the lawyers who spearheaded the successful movement to get rid of the death penalty in New Jersey. Kevin's Jesuit connection is that he is a proud alumnus of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. After his first year of law school, he took a year off to serve with JVC in Richmond, Virginia, where he worked as a volunteer with legal aid. His experience that year set him on his path of using a legal career for public service, work he's now been at for more than a quarter century. Host Mike Jordan Laskey first met Kevin when Mike worked for the Diocese of Camden in southern New Jersey, where Kevin served on the board of the local Catholic Charities agency and on a bunch of other committees. And as Kevin just finished his term working as a state government watchdog, Mike wanted to ask him about the experience and if fraud and corruption in government are as bad as they sometimes seem. Mike also asked him to reflect on the other good fights he's been part of as an attorney. Kevin's doggedness and total commitment to using the law for the public interest are hugely inspiring, and we think you'll notice his passion and energy come through clearly throughout the interview.

Wilfried Sauerland gründete den renommierten Boxstall Sauerland Event (Sauerland Boxen) im Jahr 1978. Seine erste Boxveranstaltung fand 30. September 1978 in Lusaka (Sambia) vor 70.000 Zuschauer statt. Zwei Jahre später organisierte der Wuppertaler das erste Boxevent in Deutschland. In den 1990er-Jahren löste der Boxstall vor allem durch Henry Maske und Axel Schulz einen deutschen Box-Hype aus.  Später übernahmen seine Söhne Kalle und Nisse Sauerland den Boxstall „Sauerland Event“. 2021 verkauften die Brüder das Unternehmen an den US-Vermarktungs-Giganten Wasserman Media Group und leiteten dort die Abteilung Boxen. Jetzt ist Sauerland durch einen Rückkauf wieder eigenständig, denn Wasserman gab die Boxsparte auf, wie „Bild.de“ berichtet. Auf ihrem Instagram-Account („sauerlandbros“) schrieben Kalle und Nisse Sauerland vor wenigen Tagen: „Wir freuen uns, den Start von MF Sports bekannt zu geben. Zusammen mit einem strategischen europäischen Investor haben wir den Wasserman Boxstall in unsere Hände genommen und in MF Sports umbenannt. MF Sports wird MF Pro, unser traditionelles Boxgeschäft sowie einen großen Anteil an der führenden Crossover-Boxing-Promotion Misfits Boxing beinhalten, wobei beide langfristige Übertragungsangebote mit dem Streaming-Giganten DAZN haben. MF Sports hat auch Pläne, 2026 auf zwei neue Sportarten auszuweiten.“ Weiter sagte Kalle Sauerland gegenüber Bild.de: „Wir möchten auch bald wieder in Deutschland veranstalten, möglichst noch in diesem Jahr.“  Rückblick: Nina Meinke vs. Dyana Vargas Felix Langberg vs. Djuar El Scheich Emanuel Odiase vs. Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko Peter Kadiru vs. Mauricio Nicolas Barragan Viktor Jurk vs. Emilio Ezequiel Zarate Rico Müller vs. Ajemi Amani Jr.  Daniel Lapin vs. Kristaps Bulmeistars Kira Makohonenko vs. Polina Dovhinka Carlos Adames vs. Austin Williams Vorschau: Viktor Vykhryst vs. Mariusz Wach Kevin Lele Sadjo vs. Alaa AlMahmoud Sebastian Fundora vs. Keith Thurma Yoenis Tellez vs. Brian Mendoza Moses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin Jr. Willy Hutchinson vs. Ezra Taylor News: Oleksandr Usyk bereite sich mit Peter Kadiru als Sparringspartner auf WM gegen Rico Verhoeven vor.

Title: A week of global central bank updates ------------------------ Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news of US$100/bbl-plus oil price is settling in as the Persian Gulf conflict itself settles in to an attritional conflict with no end in sight. And although he apparently sees no irony in it, US President Trump called for help from other countries to dig him out of the crisis he started by sending naval forces to keep the Strait of Hormuz "open and safe". But so far, no country has stepped forward with any commitment. Elsewhere, there will be a lot going on in the week ahead. The big economic event will be the US Fed decision on Thursday. This is supposed to be Chairman Powell's second last meeting where he is the boss and no change is anticipated. But Trump has been losing the court fights over his campaign to oust Powell, and Congress won't progress Kevin Walsh's nomination, so who knows how that will all play out. Central bank decisions will also come this week from Canada where no change is expected and none from any of Sweden, Switzerland, the ECB, Japan, China, or England. For all of them it is a wait-and-see situation. Russia review as well and may cut by -50 bps. Of course, locally the big one will be the RBA's cash rate target review tomorrow and market are now expecting a +25 bps hike. For economic data all eyes will be on the New Zealand Q4-2025 GDP outcome, and probably more importantly, the Aussie labour market report for February. And there will be key releases from the US for PPI and industrial production, the Eurozone trade balance, and the Canadian inflation rate. Additionally, China will release its industrial production, retail sales, unemployment rate, housing prices, and fixed-asset investment data, many of them later today. Back in the US, it will be no surprise to learn that core PCE inflation rose at a +3.1% rate in January, its most since late 2023. And the rises in December and January were at more than a +4.5% annualised rate. Given subsequent events, it seems unlikely this rate will have eased since. The rising inflation threat will be the main reason the Fed won't cut. It its second interim report, the US economy expanded an annualised +0.7% in Q4-2025, far less than the +1.4% advance estimate, and the weakest performance since a contraction in the first quarter of 2025. Downward revisions came for exports, consumer spending, government spending, and investment. Imports decreased less than previously thought. It is turning out economic expansion is far less now than at any time during the Biden presidency. The January JOLTS report showed more openings than in the five-year-low December report, but these were still -6% lower than a year ago. Meanwhile, the widely-watched University of Michigan sentiment survey fell as expected in its March edition, to a three-month low, but inflation expectations didn't fall as expected. The shifts were comprehensive across all income and age groups. War uncertainty and the rising fuel costs were the [obvious] triggers. Those petrol prices are up +18% now from a year ago, up +9% in a week. The darker mood is very obvious from two years ago (before Trump 2), with sentiment down -30%. Meanwhile the Congressional Budget Office is sounding the alarm about where US federal debt is tracking. Page 3 of their February report shows the essential corruption - personal income taxes are up +10% (and you can be sure that does not relate to billionaire 'taxpayers'), corporate income taxes are down -33%. Even the 'tariff tax' collections are essentially taxes on Americans collected at the border. These are up +US$109 bln, about the same as the rise in personal income taxes. The result seems to be that US Treasury debt held by the public is currently 101% of nominal GDP and without changes will rise to 175% of GDP in 30 years. In Canada, their labour market shrank in February and by an outsized -83,900 following a -25,000 decrease in January and sharply missing forecasts for a +10,000 gain. Job losses were concentrated in full-time positions which were down -108,400, so the report is grimmer than it first seems. It has been called a 'brutal' jobs report, and will undoubtedly end the Bank of Canada's hiking cycle. India loan growth rose +14.5% in February from a year ago, maintaining its high rate of expansion (and almost three times their GDP growth). New passenger vehicle sales in India hit a record high in February, up more than +10% from the same month a year ago, but to be fair, this overall market is nothing like China - or the US for that matter. China new yuan loans rose +¥900 bln in February, just as was expected. But that gain was slightly less than the +¥1 tln in February 2025, and much less than the +¥1.5 tln in February 2024. It won't be a surprise to know that the prices of most hard commodities are rising. But some ubiquitous ones like plastics (polyethylene +32%), steel (hot-rolled coil steel +13%), aluminium (+14%), and bitumen (+35%) have all jumped sharply in 2026. This won't be good for inflation control. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.29%, up +1 bp from Saturday, up +18 bps for the week.  The price of gold will start today down another -US$40 from Saturday at US$5018/oz, down -US$138 from a week ago. Silver is down -50 USc at US$80.50/oz to start today, down -US$3 from a week ago. American oil prices are up +US$2, at just under US$99/bbl, while the international Brent price is now just over US$103/bbl. The Straits of Hormuz remain no-go areas for most, although there are reports of LNG ships getting through to India. But the situation still extremely unstable. One reaction that is not happening is bringing in more US oil rigs into production in the US, even with these higher prices - not yet anyway. The Kiwi dollar has slid again, down another -30 bps against the USD from Saturday, now just over 57.8 USc. That is more than a -1c drop in a week, down -1.5%. But against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at 82.7 AUc. We are down -30 bps against the yen. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 50.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today down another -20 bps at just over 61.6, down -1.3% for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$71,356 and down -0.9% from this time Saturday, although up more than +5% from a week ago. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just over +/- 0.9%.

When thinking about retirement or already in retirement, one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is choosing the right investment strategy to generate reliable income. The recent appointment of Kevin Walsh as Federal Reserve chairman has investors questioning whether traditional assets like gold and silver remain viable options, or if dividend-paying stocks offer a superior path to retirement security. Tom Dupree Jr. and Mike Johnson recently explored these topics on The Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, providing valuable insights for investors aged 50 and above who are seeking personalized investment management alternatives to mass-market approaches. Understanding the Federal Reserve’s New Direction The financial markets responded positively to the appointment of Kevin Walsh, a 55-year-old former Fed insider currently working at Stanford University, as the new Federal Reserve chairman. Unlike concerns that the position might go to someone viewed as overly political, Walsh brings both independence and credibility to the role. “He works with Stanley Druckenmiller from a family office, and the market views him as an independent thinker who’s gonna do what he thinks is the right thing to do,” Mike Johnson explained during the episode. This appointment signals potential shifts in monetary policy that could affect everything from interest rates to commodity prices, making it essential for retirement investors to understand how these changes impact their portfolios. The Truth About Gold and Silver as Retirement Investments Recent market movements saw gold prices drop approximately 6% and silver decline around 15%, prompting important questions about precious metals as retirement vehicles. While gold is often marketed as an inflation hedge, the reality is more nuanced. Gold’s Performance: Context Matters Mike Johnson conducted an extensive analysis of gold’s historical price movements, revealing surprising insights: “Since the year 2000, gold has been about a double of what the S&P 500 did. But you look at the context—in the year 2000, you had the S&P at all-time high and gold was about 50% below its 1970s level.” The starting point dramatically affects performance comparisons. From 2012 to 2025, the S&P 500 increased over six and a half times while gold only doubled. However, during the 1970s, gold soared 1,365% while stocks gained just 76%. Why Gold Isn’t Ideal for Retirement Portfolios Several factors make gold problematic for retirement investors: No income generation: Gold doesn’t pay dividends, requiring liquidation to access value Extreme volatility: Decades of stagnant performance punctuated by brief rallies Speculation-based: Impossible to determine intrinsic value without earnings Inflation hedge myth: Historical data shows gold had a negative 1.4% real return during periods when inflation exceeded 4% As Tom Dupree noted, “You want to own productive assets. That’s where your inflation hedge long term comes from.” Dividend Investing: The Superior Strategy for Retirement Income For investors seeking reliable retirement income, dividend-paying stocks offer distinct advantages over commodities like gold. Dupree Financial Group’s investment philosophy centers on this principle. Understanding Total Return: Income Plus Growth Many investors confuse stock price appreciation with dividend income, but they’re separate components that together create total return. Mike Johnson illustrated this with a real example: “One of the companies in the portfolio, their stock’s up today $2.70, which is about 6.8%. Their dividend over the course of the next year is gonna be about $2.76 cents. So all else being equal, the stock at the end of the year, your return would be $5.40 per share, which is around 12%.” This distinction is crucial. The dividend provides predictable cash flow regardless of market volatility, while price appreciation offers additional growth potential. Why Dividend Stocks Excel for Retirees The Dupree Financial Group approach emphasizes several key advantages: Predictable cash flow: Dividends replenish accounts consistently, reducing forced selling during downturns Inflation protection: Companies that raise dividends historically outpace inflation Lower volatility: Income cushions against price fluctuations Compounding potential: Reinvested dividends accelerate wealth growth “We want income because that’s predictable and that’s what clients are looking for,” Johnson explained. “When we do a proposal, we’re talking about the income because that’s predictable.” Building a Retirement Portfolio: The Dupree Approach Rather than using mutual funds or mass-market solutions, Dupree Financial Group creates separately managed accounts tailored to retirement income needs. The Income-First Investment Process Tom Dupree described the firm’s evolution: “I looked at this problem a long time ago. There were relatively few choices for what retirement clients could or should do. We came about to invest in dividend-paying, mainly blue chip type stocks that have had good dividend payouts over the years and have had a tendency of raising the dividends.” This approach addresses several critical retirement challenges: Avoiding forced liquidation: Consistent dividend income means retirees don’t sell assets during market downturns Matching cash needs: Portfolio income aligns with distribution requirements Maintaining purchasing power: Dividend growth combats inflation Strategic diversification: Approximately 40-45 carefully selected positions provide balance Beyond Simple Diversification Many investors mistakenly believe owning thousands of stocks through index funds equals proper diversification. Mike Johnson clarified the distinction: “When people think of diversification, they think, ‘I’m just gonna buy this index and that index, and I’ve got 4,000 stocks.’ That’s not diversification. You’re spreading the money out, but how do the various pieces interact with each other?” True diversification considers how different holdings respond to market conditions, creating balance rather than mere quantity. Portfolio Management: Active and Dynamic Unlike set-it-and-forget-it approaches common with large national firms, Dupree Financial Group maintains active relationships with clients and portfolios. Continuous Evaluation and Adjustment “It’s a dynamic portfolio, but then the relationship with the client is dynamic too,” Johnson emphasized. “When we sit with our clients, here’s how the portfolio’s doing. Let’s look at your situation. Has anything changed?” This ongoing attention allows for strategic decisions, such as advising clients to handle one-time expenses during strong market years rather than weaker periods. Research-Driven Stock Selection The firm conducts proprietary research rather than relying on outside recommendations. James Dupree’s work on technology infrastructure companies exemplifies this approach, identifying opportunities others might miss. “You can’t shortcut the process,” Johnson noted. “What you’re doing with the portfolio is diversifying in a very intentional way.” Frequently Asked Questions About Dividend Investing How are dividends different from stock price increases? Dividends are cash payments companies make to shareholders, separate from stock price movements. A stock can rise $2 while also paying $2 in annual dividends, giving you $4 total return per share. The dividend provides income you can spend without selling the stock. Are dividend payments guaranteed? No, dividends aren’t guaranteed, but many blue-chip companies have paid and raised dividends for decades. This track record makes dividend income much more predictable than stock price movements or commodity values. Can dividend stocks protect against inflation? Yes, companies that consistently raise dividends typically outpace inflation over time. Unlike fixed-income investments, dividend growth adjusts for rising costs, maintaining purchasing power throughout retirement. Should retirees own any gold or silver? While precious metals can serve specific purposes in certain portfolios, they don’t generate income and exhibit extreme volatility. For retirement investors needing consistent cash flow, productive assets like dividend stocks generally serve better. How many stocks should a retirement portfolio hold? Quality matters more than quantity. Dupree Financial Group typically maintains 40-45 carefully researched positions, providing genuine diversification without the dilution that comes from owning thousands of stocks through index funds. Take Control of Your Retirement Income Strategy The difference between struggling through retirement and thriving comes down to portfolio construction and ongoing management. While mass-market firms assign you to investment counselors working from generic models, a local financial advisor who provides direct access to portfolio managers can make all the difference. If you don’t know what you own in your portfolio and why you own it, or if you’re uncertain whether your investments will generate the retirement income you need, it’s time for a conversation with professionals who put your needs first. Dupree Financial Group offers complimentary portfolio reviews for investors thinking about retirement or already in retirement. Our team conducts proprietary research, builds income-focused portfolios, and maintains ongoing relationships with clients rather than treating them as account numbers.

Software developers combine Artificial Intelligence with IT Operations and have produced a new acronym called AIOps. Today, we explored some of the best practices for making software development more productive with AIOps.   Legacy systems are an excellent application for AIOps, but Kevin Walsh from the GAO notes that it may be more economical to maintain legacy systems in place.   Christopher Clark from the U.S. Marine Corps suggests listening to users through starting AI Task Forces. They can help identify the use cases that would validate the expense of moving to AIOps.   One obvious win might be minimal risk, high-impact activities. Clark mentions preventative maintenance as a potential target. ROI from reducing costs can be apparent. Furthermore, a help desk can pose a negligible risk and have a relatively high impact on servicing needs of Marines.   One likely candidate for applied AIOps is managing the changes in a code set that takes place. BMC's Katie Tierney states that in a typical DevSecOps environment, there could be thousands of changes a day, which exceeds human capability.   The overview is apparent:  ensure appropriate oversight, governance, and transparency measures are in place when deploying agentic AI systems.
