Watch Out For This Chinese Stock Scam! Yes, there's another scam out there trying to part you from your hard-earned money. This has happened many times in recent years and it's occurred in very small Chinese stocks that are vulnerable to manipulation. For some reason some US investors see these and think they've hit it big. US regulators try their best, but typically cannot get access to information in China to go after these people. They're so good they trick people who should know better like businesspeople and even a university professor lost $80,000 in the scam. Their advertisements show up on social media or in messages on WhatsApp and they contain investment advice that looks very convincing with the alure of big, quick returns. They trick investors into thinking that this company is on the verge of something very big and they show that there are already short-term gains, which are engineered by the scammers through manipulative trading. The hucksters come from Malaysia, Taiwan and other places around the world. Some have been so bold that for some investors who lost money, they come back with a second better offer to make up losses on the first investment. Obviously, these people have no shame and the only thing I can recommend is to stay away from small Chinese stocks, especially if you see them advertised on social media. Remember the old saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.   Is The Current 401K System Out of Date? The current 401(k) system was first established 42 years ago in 1978 when the use of normal pension plans was in place and when people still worked for a single employer for most of their career. This change in 1978 was beneficial to both the employees and employers, because it gave employees control over their retirement plan and reduced the long-term financial risk for many companies with underfunded pension plans that caused multiple problems form companies during the 2008 financial crisis. Today, times have changed and employees might experience over their 40 years plus work career different jobs that may include side gigs, the launch of a business or two and potentially a change in their job that could take place as much as 12 times over their career. The benefit for employees of the 401(k) is it gives people the ability to control their retirement. If they do leave an employer, they can take their retirement with them and invest it as they see best. The problem of today with changing jobs so many times is unfortunately these employees decide to take and use the money, even though the penalties and taxes due are sometimes as high as 50%. In my opinion, there is not one good reason why you should be taking your retirement money early as you'll pay for it many times over if you reach retirement with little or no retirement funds. Believe me, it is hard being older, but it is devastating to be older with no retirement funds. It has been estimated that frequent job changes over a career can cost as much as $300,000 in retirement savings. I like the new system that has made auto enrollment the default for employees starting a new job, but there is talk that they also want to require when a worker leaves an employer that their 401(k) automatically follows them to the new job and it should contain the same contribution rates as well. I think this is a terrible idea as it could get employees that are changing jobs locked into a terrible new 401(k). It could perhaps be additional administrative work for the new employer who already has enough to take care of when you include all the regulations, they have along with health insurance and current retirement plan administration. Being an employer myself one would not believe how much employers have to do already.    The Unknown Risk of the S&P 500 Many people love investing in the S&P 500 because the recent performance has been very strong. We have talked in the past about the over concentration of technology in the index, but I was shocked to learn that 71% or roughly 351 companies in the index report either non-GAAP income or non-GAAP earnings-per-share. This is dangerous for investors because you're not comparing apples to apples and 89% of those 351 companies that made adjustments had results that appeared better. Wall Street has forced companies to continue to report higher and higher earnings each year and sometimes each quarter or else the stock gets pulverized. Non GAAP numbers were supposed to be allowed to explain extenuating or extraordinary circumstances like a factory fire or a sale of a division, but companies have abused the rule and exclude items like stock based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and currency fluctuations. The one that bugs me the most is restructuring charges that occur every year. For example, Oracle has had a restructuring charge for the past five years. Unfortunately, the SEC is absent on enforcing the rules and non-GAAP earnings have just about become the standard. The problem for investors is with no standard, you cannot compare true earnings of a company. If you have been investing as long as I have, you'll remember the last time the abuse of non-GAAP earnings was during the tech boom and bust. Some people say we are too conservative with our investing and we are missing out on some big gains, but I do believe fundamental investing and understanding the true numbers of a company is far safer and it should produce better returns in the long run.     Financial Planning: What is the Net Investment Income Tax? The Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) is a 3.8% federal surtax that began in 2013 under the Affordable Care Act, targeting high-income individuals. It applies to any net investment income that exceeds a single taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $200,000 or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. Crucially, these thresholds are not indexed for inflation, so while they may have seemed high in 2013, today they would equal roughly $270,000 and $337,500 in 2025 had they been indexed for inflation, meaning more taxpayers are caught by the tax over time. Net investment income includes interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, passive business income, and the earnings portion of non-qualified annuity distributions. While non-investment income sources such as wages, IRA withdrawals or conversions, and active business profits aren't directly subject to NIIT, realizing large amounts of those sources can push your MAGI above the threshold, thereby exposing your investment income to this additional tax.  Also keep in mind, most investment income is still taxed as ordinary income as well. Only long-term capital gains and qualified dividends receive the lower capital gain tax treatment, but all investment income may trigger the NIIT if income exceeds the thresholds.   Companies Discussed: Fiserv, Inc. (FI), Pinterest, Inc. (PINS), Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) & General Mills, Inc. (GIS)

You've probably heard that maxing out your 401(k) and IRA is the smartest move you can make. But for many investors, that strategy alone may lead to a surprising challenge: becoming "qualified rich, cash poor." In other words, having plenty saved, but locked away in accounts you can't easily access without tax consequences or penalties.That's where the often-overlooked brokerage account comes in.Also called a taxable, individual, or joint account, the brokerage account offers unmatched flexibility. No age restrictions. No early withdrawal penalties. And potential long-term capital gains tax treatment instead of higher ordinary income rates. That can make a big difference when it comes time to actually enjoy what you've saved.More than just a retirement supplement, brokerage accounts give you the freedom to fund mid-term goals, adjust to life's unexpected changes, or even retire earlier. They also play a key role in long-term tax planning by allowing you to pull from different types of accounts—pre-tax, Roth, and brokerage—based on what's most efficient each year.A truly thoughtful financial plan isn't just about growing wealth. It's about having access to it, when and how you need it most.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs often get all the attention, but there's another tool that can play a powerful role in your long-term strategy: the humble brokerage account.Unlike retirement accounts with age restrictions and penalties, brokerage accounts offer flexibility. You can access funds at any time, for any purpose without early withdrawal penalties. That kind of control can be incredibly valuable, especially if your goals include retiring early, helping family, or funding big life moments along the way.Having a mix of account types—pre-tax, Roth, and brokerage—can give you more control over your income and taxes in retirement. It also helps you avoid a common challenge: having most of your wealth tied up in accounts that are difficult (or costly) to access when you need them most.A thoughtful strategy includes more than just maxing out retirement accounts. It's about building flexibility, tax efficiency, and confidence into every stage of your financial life.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Nuggets after they finally made hires to their front office. Zach expresses his concerns with the Nuggets only looking inward for their solutions in the front office, head coach, and roster. Today’s “Three Count” includes Zach taking his victory lap after NBA Africa prospect Khaman Maluach was a lottery pick in last night’s NBA draft. Are we on the verge of having an influx of basketball players from Africa? We go on a tangent about kids not playing outside and in the street anymore. Zach and Phil react to the University of South Carolina as well as many SEC schools implementing a “athletics auxiliary fee” for students of the universities. Will CU follow suit and add a fee to their students to raise money to pay their athletes? Is it fair to pass the buck down to students instead of paying the athletes with the money they make from ticket sales, merchandise, and television deals?

On this episode of Gators Breakdown with David Waters and Will Miles, anonymous opposing coaches offer completely different assessments of Billy Napier's 2025 Gators!

In this college football podcast episode, Ralph Russo from The Athletic joins us to break down the complex College Football Playoff negotiations happening behind closed doors between the Big Ten, SEC and other conferences. Our conversation centers on how the number of SEC conference games is driving the debate, explores the Big Ten's push for automatic qualifiers, and examines why these meetings keep happening without real progress.Ralph explains the power dynamics between Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey, why ESPN might not want playoff expansion, and how Brett Yormark is trying to wedge the SEC away from the Big Ten. Plus, the "reimagined" conference championship weekend, whether a breakaway league is possible, and why this feels like college football's most charged moment since the BCS era.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction05:02 - The SEC Decision Tree16:19 - Power dynamics: Who's really running these meetings?27:26 - The Unpopularity of SEC & Big Ten Power36:35 - Reporting challenges and ESPN's actual role vs. perception42:08 - The future of playoff expansion and what's next51:19 - Outro and preview season setup_____A fan of our college football podcast?
