As of the recording of this video, the S&P 500 index is trading at a new all-time high, within less than 100 points of the big round 7,000 milestone.And Nvidia just became the first $5 trillion market cap company in history.So the bull market in stocks appears to be doing just fine -- despite the skeptic's worries that current valuations are far too high when compared to fundamentals.Will the party continue on from here in 2026?Or will the new year end the current 3-year stream of double digit returns for stocks?To discuss, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program market technician and portfolio manager Katie Stockton, Founder and Managing Partner of Fairlead Strategies.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

This episode of the Unusual Whales Pod was recorded Live on October 29th, 2025. Nicholas hosts a panel of macroeconomic experts and investors to discuss the economy's continued contradictions: growth hasn't collapsed, yet inflation refuses to bow out, and the labor market is showing patches of fatigue. All this while the government shutdown is delaying key data releases, leaving the Fed to fly partially blind. Global friction persists from trade tensions to energy supply jitters, and the panel breaks down each of these topics in turn!Panel:Joseph Wang https://twitter.com/FedGuy12Thelastbearstanding https://twitter.com/LastBearStandngJonny Matthews https://x.com/super_macroMartin Pelletier https://twitter.com/MPelletierCIOHosted by: Nicholas FNS: https://twitter.com/NicholasFNSUnusual Whales: https://twitter.com/unusual_whalesThis Pod is not financial advice.

A Trump administration push to reduce the frequency of corporate earnings reports risks hurting the accuracy of artificial intelligence-fueled models used by analysts, an accounting adviser said. Chief financial officers and other C-suite leaders would in turn need to address greater reputational risk if a plan to give public companies the option to file financial reports semiannually instead of quarterly advances, according to Steve Soter, vice president and industry principal at financial compliance platform Workiva. Companies prepare and submit quarterly reports, called Form 10-Qs, to the Securities and Exchange Commission's filing system in XBRL format, which makes the information more easily accessible and computer-readable, Soter said. Analysts' models consume this data to provide analysis and observations. Depriving investors and analysts' AI models of this information increases the risk of erroneous analysis and ensuing reputational damage, Soter said. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax financial accounting reporter Jorja Siemons spoke with Soter about what steps C-suite leaders can take to mitigate data risks if the SEC reporting schedule shifts.

This Day in Legal History: Black TuesdayOn October 29, 1929, the United States experienced one of the most catastrophic financial events in its history—Black Tuesday, the climax of the stock market crash that helped trigger the Great Depression. While primarily remembered as an economic crisis, this day also had profound and lasting legal consequences that reshaped American financial regulation and the federal government's role in the economy.In the immediate aftermath, the lack of oversight and rampant speculation that had fueled the 1920s bull market came under intense scrutiny. The legal system responded in the 1930s with a suite of landmark legislative reforms designed to stabilize financial markets and restore public confidence. Chief among these were the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which established mandatory disclosure requirements for public companies and created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to enforce federal securities laws.These laws introduced the legal principle that corporations owe a duty of candor to investors and that misleading or fraudulent statements can be subject to civil and criminal penalties. They also laid the foundation for modern financial regulation, including rules governing insider trading, market manipulation, and fiduciary duties of brokers and advisors.The legal legacy of October 29, 1929, is thus not limited to market losses but includes the birth of a federal regulatory framework that continues to govern securities markets today. It marked a turning point where the federal government took a permanent role in policing Wall Street and protecting investors through statutory and administrative mechanisms.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will hear Argentina's appeal of a $16.1 billion judgment related to its 2012 expropriation of oil company YPF. The judgment, issued by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in 2023, awarded $14.39 billion to Petersen Energia Inversora and $1.71 billion to Eton Park Capital Management, former minority shareholders of YPF. They claimed Argentina violated contractual obligations by failing to make a tender offer when it nationalized 51% of YPF from Spanish energy firm Repsol.Argentina argues the case should not be heard in a U.S. court, citing sovereign immunity, misapplication of Argentine law, and the principle of international comity. It also contends the damages are vastly overstated—amounting to 45% of its 2024 national budget. The litigation has been financially backed by Burford Capital, which could receive a large payout if the appeal fails.The appeal arrives as President Javier Milei, a libertarian reformer, works to stabilize Argentina's economy with austerity measures, having recently achieved a rare budget surplus. Meanwhile, Argentina is also separately appealing a court order to hand over YPF shares, an order currently on hold. The U.S. government has not taken a stance on the appeal but opposed the share turnover, citing foreign policy risks.Argentina to ask US appeals court to overturn $16.1 billion YPF judgment | ReutersA federal judge ruled that Bilal Essayli was unlawfully appointed as acting U.S. attorney for California's Central District, which includes Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright found that Essayli's continued service beyond the 120-day interim period allowed by law was improper since he had neither been nominated by the president nor confirmed by the Senate. This decision disqualifies him from serving in the acting role but allows him to remain as first assistant U.S. attorney.The ruling does not dismiss three criminal indictments issued during Essayli's tenure, as they were signed by other prosecutors and no due process violations were found. Still, the judgment raises concerns about leadership stability in the largest federal judicial district in the country, serving roughly 19 million people.Essayli's appointment was part of a broader pattern under the Trump administration of bypassing Senate confirmation for key prosecutorial roles. A similar ruling recently invalidated the acting U.S. attorney appointment in Nevada, and another decision in New Jersey blocked Alina Habba, a Trump ally, from participating in prosecutions. These appointments are now under appeal.Judge disqualifies ‘acting' US attorney in California | ReutersThe celebrity video platform Cameo filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against OpenAI in a California federal court, accusing it of unlawfully using the name “Cameo” for a new feature in its Sora video generation app. Cameo claims that OpenAI's use of the term for AI-generated virtual likenesses causes brand confusion and threatens the distinctiveness of its trademark.OpenAI launched Sora as a standalone app in late September, and its feature—also named “Cameo”—lets users create AI-generated videos that can include virtual celebrities. Cameo argues this directly competes with its own service, where users pay real celebrities for personalized video messages. The company pointed to examples of AI-generated videos featuring public figures like Mark Cuban and Jake Paul, claiming this puts OpenAI in head-to-head competition with their business model.Cameo said it attempted to resolve the issue privately, but OpenAI declined to change the feature's name. OpenAI responded that it disagrees with the lawsuit, arguing no one can monopolize a generic term like “cameo.”The lawsuit seeks financial damages and a court injunction to stop OpenAI from using the name “Cameo.”OpenAI sued for trademark infringement over Sora's ‘Cameo' feature | ReutersTexas has hired the law firm Keller Postman—which previously secured a $1.4 billion settlement from Meta—to lead a new lawsuit alleging that Tylenol use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism in children. Filed in Panola County, the suit accuses Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue, Tylenol's current owner, of misleading consumers by marketing the drug to pregnant women despite knowing potential developmental risks tied to its active ingredient, acetaminophen.Ashley Keller, a senior partner at the firm, said the case will be handled on a contingency basis, meaning Texas pays only if it wins, similar to prior deals with Meta and Google. The firm's effective hourly rate under that model can reach $3,780, though its total fees are capped at 11% of any recovery. Keller defended the state's approach, saying the firm invests heavily and shares the litigation risk with Texas.The lawsuit builds on ongoing national litigation over acetaminophen and childhood developmental disorders, though courts have previously rejected similar claims. A 2024 federal ruling in New York dismissed related cases after expert testimony linking acetaminophen to ADHD was excluded. Texas' case, however, is distinct because it focuses on state-level claims of deceptive trade practices and fraudulent transfer, alleging J&J unlawfully moved Tylenol liabilities to Kenvue.Texas Returns to Keller Postman to Link Tylenol to Child Autism This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions tackle the question that keeps many investors up at night — “What if ....?” They unpack the “what ifs” that often cloud retirement planning — market volatility, inflation, healthcare costs, and unexpected life changes. Jim and Casey share how proper planning can turn uncertainty into confidence through diversification, income planning, and risk management. They also discuss how retirees can prepare emotionally and financially for market fluctuations, and why the right strategy matters more than trying to time the market. This conversation offers a calm, rational look at how to protect your retirement plan when the future feels uncertain.

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff discuss some potential complications of declining property values.  Don't panic!  This may not even apply to you, but it's good information to understand.  If your home is worth less than you expect:  If you purchased in the last couple of years and want to refinance, you may not be able to do so.  Many banks require a certain percentage of equity to refinance your loan.  Try to get the details of refinancing before you buy!  You won't be able to borrow against the value of your home unless you have enough equity.  If you need to sell, you may end up actually paying money to get out of the house.  For example, if you purchased a home for $900,000 and paid 10% down but your home is now worth $800,000, the proceeds from the sale may not be enough to pay off your mortgage and pay the closing costs on the loan.  If you're staying put, it may not be a big deal at all!   Generally, the longer you plan to stay in a home, the less likely you will be hit with some of these problems.  You probably will have much more equity in a home you've lived in for ten years than one you lived in for three years.  For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, you can reach out to them at podcast@thefinitygroup.com.

It's easy to feel confused these days.With the stock market at all-time highs, some analysts predict this bull market has a lot longer to run as the busiiness-friendly policies of the new Administration start adding tailwinds to the economy.Others see economic growth as imbalanced, at best, and worry that overall the trend for 2026 is downwards, risking recession and a material market correction.So, which is it?For guidance, we turn to highly-respected economist & award-winning researcher David Rosenberg, founder & president of Rosenberg Research.David concludes the market is in a major price bubble not unlike the DotCom era, and advises investors to build/maintain liquidity within (at least) part of their portfolio in order to weather the bubble's bursting as well as to have dry powder to deploy at attractive valuations when it does.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Years of equity gains has wealth effect bolstering spend Aggregate consumer data remains solid despite signs of a slowdown in labor markets.  Declining labor supply accounts for some of the labor weakness but other metrics, including the ratio of job vacancies to unemployment, suggest softness in demand as well. We examine why consumption has held up despite these signs of weakness and part of it comes down to the wealth effect, which has boosted some consumers at a time that others have been challenged by continued cost increases and a slowdown in wage growth.  We also discuss the sources that investors can use for economic data given that Federal data is currently limited.  And get into some of the risks to spending, particularly since equities have been unusually strong over the last several years, leading to questions around whether weak or stagnant equities could remove a key support for consumption.  Could announced and future capex investments in the US spark renewed demand for labor?  We address this as well, and so far, our US Economics team isn't holding its breath.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

It happens to all of us, and how we prepare for it can mean all the difference for your loved ones. This week, Regina walks you through a 7-point estate planning checklist: what to prepare, which pros to involve, and how to keep your family out of chaos if something happens. You'll learn how to choose the right attorney, organize your assets, decide on wills vs. trusts, set financial and medical powers of attorney, protect loved ones with the right life insurance, craft a values-based gifting plan, and why clear communication (even a recorded family meeting) can prevent costly disputes later.

In this episode of Behind the Wealth, Roger and Elias break down recent trends showing more 401(k) investors shifting toward cash and bonds — and what that might signal about market sentiment heading into year-end. They also discuss a new report showing record-high credit card debt among Gen X and Millennials, and how rising balances could affect financial freedom down the road. Then, listener Jason asks: “We're 45, debt-free, and investing heavily in our 401(k)s — should we put our extra savings into a taxable account or boost our contributions?” The team explores how tax diversification, accessibility, and flexibility all play a role — especially for anyone eyeing early retirement before age 59½. Tune in to learn how to balance security and opportunity, avoid emotional moves, and keep your wealth strategy adaptable for whatever comes next.

Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion.

In this episode, we delve into the link between overall retirement quality and the confidence you have in your financial plan. We emphasize how a well-designed retirement strategy tailored to your needs, not solely reliant on market performance, is pivotal for boosting confidence and making your retirement plan a reality you can rely on. Addressing common fears, exploring emotional extremes, and understanding the evolving landscape of retirement planning, will help you discover the significance of income-focused strategies and a diversified asset approach in building confidence in your retirement plan. When it comes to retirement, your quality of life in these golden years is often predicated on the level of confidence you have regarding your situation. A poorly-designed retirement plan can often cause emotional confusion, which leaves you feeling insecure and lacking confidence. Confidence is typically at its peak when a plan is optimized and is designed around meeting the needs of the client and not relying entirely on market performance. Retirement confidence is in direct correlation with how well your plan is designed to manage your exposure to risk and its ability to fulfill cash flow requirements. A plan built on hope and optimism can lead to very emotional times when the market doesn't work out the way you'd hoped. Many client conversations relating to retirement are often centered around insecurities the client is working through. Common fears include running out of money before running out of life, market crashes, having a health crisis, missing opportunities, or simply making mistakes. There are typically two emotional extremes, no confidence or complete overconfidence. A lack of confidence leads to avoidance behavior and avoiding decisions, which often makes a person vulnerable to the very things they are afraid of. Overconfidence leads people to underestimate their vulnerabilities. Being skittish or practicing decision avoidance or fearing the idea of making a bad decision are all confidence killers, and the ultimate irony of this behavior is actually preventing the solution from being implemented, which can turn your fears into a reality. Confidence is about being able to rely on your retirement plan to do what you need it to do. If your retirement plan is anchored to the stock market, your confidence level relies entirely on the performance of the market. Most people's retirement plans involve a stock market portfolio they plan to liquidate over time, Social Security, and a pension, but that's really just the start. This paradigm seems to be rooted in watching our parents or grandparents work for decades in the same job and then retire with their pensions and Social Security benefits. However, circumstances have changed, and what worked back then isn't going to cut it now. Pensions and company-provided retirement plans have been on the decline since the 1980's. Baby Boomers started putting their money into retirement plans starting in the 90's, which caused a growing stock market. 2016 was the first year that Baby Boomers started taking out money from those accounts. Those who ran the markets up are now the same group that is putting selling pressure on the markets, but there are other influences as well: government spending and policy, Fed policy, pandemics, interest rates, inflation, and more. When you lack certainty in the market, algorithms and a 24/7 news cycle can exacerbate the situation. There are two fundamental things that can have a profound impact on your retirement confidence. First is solving for income using income products. The foundation of a retirement plan is to generate consistent income, and unfortunately, consistency is not synonymous with the stock market. Separating your assets between long-term growth in public investments and income-generating private and fixed assets is a crucial component of being confident in your overall retirement plan.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify Common Sense: YOUR Guide to Making Smart Choices with YOUR Money by Brian Skrobonja Brian's article - ‘Five Common Retirement Mistakes and How to Avoid Them'     References for this episode: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/retirement/erisa https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/baby-boomers-could-cause-market-crash-12117996 https://www.forbes.com/sites/lizfrazierpeck/2021/02/11/the-coronavirus-crash-of-2020-and-the-investing-lesson-it-taught-us/?sh=17701bd846cf https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-stocks-would-be-much-lower-if-it-wasnt-for-excessive-government-spending-morgan-stanleys-mike-wilson-says-1b8e65d2 https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/what-does-the-fed-do-and-how-does-it-impact-the-stock-market https://thefga.org/blog/president-biden-is-wrong-about-esg-heres-why/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvfmoBhAwEiwAG2tqzIhc3F2QbmLEygcbkIg9eV7bhXUz3dzXhO1A_hTNE3hNsMbTug59txoCPcwQAvD_BwE https://centerpointsecurities.com/stock-market-algorithms/#:~:text=The%20main%20thing%20traders%20need,because%20you%20may%20lose%20fast. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191077/inflation-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990 https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/historical-cd-interest-rates     Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.

Send us fan responses! The door cracks open on a quiet clubhouse and suddenly a bigger world appears: private communities building their own credit power, furnishing their own data, and charting a path to a community-owned bank. We walk you through the rooms where the paperwork becomes practice, where mentors with deep experience show how bonds, notes, and trust units get recognized by the systems that matter—Bloomberg, DTCC, Euroclear, Clearstream—and why that recognition turns private agreements into real leverage.We break down the role of a data furnisher in plain language and connect it to a practical plan: reporting instrument details and payment performance so custodians and investors can verify authenticity, price risk, and rate your instruments. That's the difference between hoping a lender believes you and presenting a documented track record for your trust, ministry, or enterprise. Along the way, we talk about what it takes to issue securities, the basics of trust and contract law, and how families, churches, and ministries securitize agreements to build durable access to capital.You'll also hear where the momentum is headed: investor commitments, milestones toward licensure, and live meetings in Atlanta designed to show the framework up close. No hype, just the playbook—how to create data that institutions respect, how to move from private order to public credibility, and how communities can step into real ownership of their financial narrative.If this sparks something, join us.

When market uncertainty is as high as it is now, I often emphasize that the most useful people to interview are asset managers.Because they don't have the luxury of merely having an opinion on the road ahead -- they have to commit capital to their convictions, and be judged upon the results.Today we have the great fortune of having the return appearance of one of the most respected capital allocators in the business: Jan van EckJan is CEO of vanEck, an asset management firm with over $100 billion in assets under management invested across its wide family of ETFs and funds, spanning equity, bond, commodity, digital and regional asset classes.As we've done the past several quarters now, Jan and I will spend the next hour discussing his Q4 macro and market outlooks, as well as where he sees the biggest opportunities for investors right now.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions dive into one of the biggest lifestyle and financial questions facing retirees — when and how to downsize. They explore the emotional and financial sides of moving to a smaller home, freeing up cash flow, and simplifying life in retirement. Jim and Casey walk through key considerations such as market timing, tax implications, and the impact of housing costs on your long-term plan. They also share real client stories of those who downsized successfully (and those who wish they'd done it sooner), along with practical guidance on how to decide whether now's the right time to make the move. Whether you're thinking about selling your family home, relocating to a lower-cost area, or exploring retirement communities, this episode will help you make an informed decision that supports both your heart and your balance sheet.

On this week's episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Christine Healey. Christine explains how accredited investors can access late-stage private tech companies like SpaceX, Stripe, and OpenAI, drawing parallels to real estate syndication while outlining critical differences around illiquidity, pricing, and structures. She shares how a licensed pre-IPO broker sources sellers, compares offer structures, and protects buyers from red flags in a fragmented market. The conversation also touches on where risk really shows up and why today's mega-unicorns are staying private longer, concentrating who participates in the upside.

Being part of Michigan Football means more than game-day wins. It means pressure, purpose, and lifelong brotherhood. In Season 6 Episode 4 of What Dewey Do?, Hudson Hollenbeck opens up about his life as a Michigan Wolverine, from the grind of daily training and locker room culture to big game moments, academic balance, and staying present amid NIL pressure and social media noise. He also shares the core values of Michigan Brotherhood, what he's learned from the veterans, and how competition shaped him into the man he's becoming.  You'll hear honest reflections on the cost of success, financial discipline as a student-athlete, and the mindset needed to thrive on and off the field. Tune in and learn what it takes to compete with grit, lead with humility, and stay focused when the stakes are high. Hudson's story might be about football but the wisdom applies far beyond the field.  Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes the nail. You'll get hit with unexpected expenses. That's why it's smart to upgrade what you can while you can."  - Hudson Hollenbeck: "Some people don't get it right away, but once you walk into a place where everyone supports each other, you want to give your all." - Hudson Hollenbeck: "Control the controllables. You can't predict when things will go wrong, but you can prepare and that applies to life and football." Hudson Hollenbeck is the starting punter and holder for the University of Michigan football team and a 2023 College Football National Champion. A former Mississippi State athlete, Hudson's story is one of grit, growth, and an unwavering belief in team culture over entitlement. After experiencing the challenges of being cut and personal loss, he found purpose at Michigan, where camaraderie, discipline, and the Michigan Brotherhood fuel his performance on and off the field. Beyond football, Hudson is the founder of "Punting Cancer Away," a campaign that honors his late mother and supports lung cancer research.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hudson-hollenbeck-a35498358/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hudsonhollenbeck_/?hl=en   Twitter: https://x.com/hollenbeck_h6  ➡️ WDD TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatdeweydo   ➡️ GLW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLWealth   Thanks for watching!

My guest is Konstantina Stankovic, MD, PhD, Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology at Stanford School of Medicine. She explains how hearing works and why hearing loss—affecting over 1.5 billion people—impacts people of all ages. We discuss how hearing loss impairs focus and increases the risk of cognitive decline, as well as the role of menopause and other biological milestones in hearing health. We share science-backed protocols to protect your hearing and highlight risks to avoid. And we discuss tinnitus—its causes and treatment options.
