The freight industry has long been thought of the circulatory system of the economy.It's how the things bought & sold through commerce get from point A to point B in the real world. Historically, when trucking frieght loads diminish, it's usually correlated with a weakening economy. And if it gets bad enough, a recession.Today's guest is Craig Fuller of Freightwaves, price reporting agency (PRA) focused on the global freight market and the leading provider of high-frequency data for the global supply chain.He recently released a prediction that the US freight trucking industry is about to experience "the largest capacity purge in history"We'll ask him what that means for the economy, as well as the hundreds of thousands of workers he expects to be impacted by it.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 explore whether owning rental properties is a smart move during retirement. They discuss the pros — such as steady income, appreciation, and diversification — along with the cons that retirees often overlook, including taxes, maintenance headaches, liquidity issues, and tenant risk. Jim and Casey share real-life stories from clients who've both succeeded and struggled with investment properties, and they examine alternatives like REITs and other passive income options that offer exposure to real estate without the stress of being a landlord. If you've ever wondered whether real estate belongs in your retirement plan, this conversation offers a balanced look at the opportunities and pitfalls — so you can make decisions that align with your goals, not just the headlines. http://retirewithmartin.com/ ← Learn about working with us www.planwellretirehappy.com Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction: Is real estate the right move in retirement? 02:06 – The appeal of rental income for retirees 04:25 – The realities of being a landlord 06:40 – Taxes, repairs, and cash flow surprises 08:58 – When rental properties become more work than reward 11:10 – Client story: managing multiple rental homes 13:18 – Evaluating the opportunity cost of real estate ownership 15:06 – REITs and other alternatives to direct property management 17:45 – How to know if real estate fits your retirement plan 20:12 – Final thoughts and key takeaways Disclaimer Opinions expressed herein are solely those of Martin Wealth Solutions, unless otherwise specifically cited.

Beleggers keken deze week uit naar de beleggersdag van Adyen, waarop het bedrijf de nieuwe doelstellingen presenteerde. "Niet héél ambitieus, die doelstellingen", vindt Thomas Pellegrom van ABN Amro. Toch begrijpt hij de positieve reactie van beleggers. "Het zijn nog steeds mooie marges, en Adyen doet het heel goed als je het vergelijkt met Fiserv. Die Amerikaanse concurrent verloor de helft van z'n waarde op beroerde cijfers." Joost van Leenders van Van Lanschot Kempen zit op hetzelfde spoor. "Ik denk dat de doelstellingen bewust conservatief zijn gehouden, om tegenvallers uit te sluiten. Met een koerswinstverhouding van 26 is het aandeel niet extreem gewaardeerd en het is een hele sterke speler in de betalingssector. Over het sentiment zijn beide experts positief, al lijkt de markt op dit moment wat te consolideren. Een AI-bubbel die op springen staat, zo ver is het nog niet en de topspelers in die sector zijn zeer winstgevend Dat niet alleen, ze geven de indices nog steeds de grootste impuls.

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik deze week de praktijk van securities lending. Securities lending komt er simpel gezegd op neer dat, in dit geval, de uitgever van een ETF de onderliggende aandelen uitleent. Uiteraard tegen een vergoeding, die deels terugvloeit naar de eigenaar van de ETF. Dat lijkt mooi, maar er zitten ook bezwaren aan. Get belangrijkste is wel dat er een zogenaamd tegenpartijrisico aan vast zit. Stel dat de lener in de problemen komt en de aandelen niet kan teruggeven, wat dan? We bespreken ook een andere vorm van tegenpartijrisico: de synthetische ETF. Daarbij koopt de uitgever van de ETF niet de aandelen van de index, maar sluit een overeenkomst met een tegenpartij die beloofd de performance van de index te leveren. Ook kier, zo legt Martijn helder uit, speelt natuurlijk het risico dat de financiële tegenpartij in de problemen kan komen. Ter geruststelling: VanEck Europe heeft alleen fysieke ETF's en leent ook geen aandelen uit. Geniet van de podcast!

How do you know if your financial advisor is a bad fit for you? What about an advisor that you're thinking about working with? What red flags should you be looking out for? Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381 ----more---- Transcript: Marc Killian: How do you know if your financial advisor is a bad fit for you? What about an advisor that you're thinking about working with? Are there some red flags to be on the lookout for this week on Plan With The Tax Man? We'll highlight five of those to keep an eye on. Hey everybody, welcome into the podcast Plan With The Tax Man here with Tony Mauro and myself, Mark Killian, to talk about some red flags to hopefully you're not ignoring or at least be aware of. And we'll dive into that this week here, Tony, as we're getting pretty close to Thanksgiving. How you doing, my friend? Tony Mauro: I'm doing good. Getting ready for the holidays myself and getting ready, well with the staff, for the year-end. Marc Killian: Okay. Yeah, well, I mean, it is a busy time of the year for everybody. And so maybe if you are shopping or thinking about doing something, making a change, some red flags to maybe be aware of. So we'll run through a few of these for folks, see if we can help them out. Let's start with the whole cookie cutter conversation, the one size fits all approach. Obviously at this point it's become cliche. Every advisor says you need a specific strategy for your situation, but it really is true because there are still some of those big box places out there that just try to jam everybody into the same kind of thing. Tony Mauro: There is. I have more and more conversations with clients about this, and you're right. All of us advisors, everybody knows that we all do the same thing. But I think too many of us, if they're going with this one size fits all approach, I think we're doing a disservice to the clients. So I think if you are a person out there looking for an advisor, you want to ask about what is your approach for your clients and what do you do with them and how do you do it a little bit? Because for us, we like to start, and I just had a conversation with a tax client yesterday about we don't want you to come to us just for us to have you do say a Roth IRA. And we just manage the money. You're paying us, so we want to provide some value. We want to get to know you, we want to develop a plan and help you through the plan. So I would definitely ask those questions and don't be afraid to do that because that's what's going to determine if they're a good fit for you or not. Marc Killian: Yeah, exactly. And every situation's a little bit different, certainly. And there's certainly universal things that do affect us all. But just kind of trying to jam everything into one style that 20 people walk in the door and they try to put them all in the same overall portfolio and approach. And maybe that's the key word right there, Tony, is that a lot of times these big box places, they're really talking more about the portfolio management and things of that nature versus a holistic retirement strategy. Tony Mauro: They are. And we don't spend a lot of time on that because I don't want to say we don't feel it's important because it is. But that's secondary to really what you want to do and where you want to get to because we can figure out that part of it later. And there are so many choices that we'll find something there. I don't like to lead with that and talk about performance and this and that because I don't think that that is the first thing we should be doing. Marc Killian: Yeah, you're talking about relationship and life planning, if you will, a little bit, more than just portfolio building at that point. Most of us have built one. Sure, we still want to manage things and then stay ahead of the inflation and keep going, but you're talking taxation and social security optimization, there's just all these other pieces that go into it. So that's where the customization truly does come into play. All right. That's the first one, Tony. How about the communication aspect? So also sometimes a knock on some of those places is, well, okay, they got me set up and I never hear from them after that. Tony Mauro: Yeah, I hear that a lot. I really do from clients, and sometimes it can go several years. And to me, I always ask them, well then they're not really, in my opinion, your advisor. There's somebody that is maybe managing your money or at least supposed to be watching it, but most fiduciaries, we have an obligation to at least meet with you once a year. But we try to do that more than once a year, even if it's just a phone call or a Zoom call, something like that. Because we do want to communicate with you and we don't want to just talk about how the market's doing and what's going on in the latest rally, or decline, or political situation, things like that. We want to talk about what's changed in your life and if some of your goals have moved and things like that, we'll touch on some of that current event stuff. But I think it's important to just keep in communication to let you know that we are still looking after things and monitoring your plan, even though you don't hear from us. Because a lot of people, if we don't communicate with you, you probably start scratching your head saying, well, why am I paying these people and what am I paying them to do for me if I'd ever hear from them? Marc Killian: Yeah, yeah, exactly. So communication is certainly a big key. And transparency also a big key, Tony. If you can't tell how somebody's getting paid, that's a serious concern. That's a big red flag. And transparency not only in the fees you're paying, but fees you're paying for your products and just across the board. That should just be a must. Transparency across the board. Tony Mauro: I think it is. I think it should be one of the first things that are talked about. We talk about it with our clients and prospective clients right up front. And we tell them just like when we do your tax return or your accounting, we're paid pros. And as long as you understand that, here's the value we're going to deliver, here's what you can get for the money you're paying for us. And it's up to you then to decide if you think that there's enough value to pay that fee. But we definitely don't want to hide behind that. And I definitely wouldn't be afraid for all of you out there to ask your advisor that. And just so you know, you're not really questioning that they should be getting paid more of how and what motivates them. And I think more of the truer measure, I'm one of those fee for planning types of guys or asset-based management. I don't really like commissions and things like that. I do think that skews some things and can lead some people to do things that aren't in their clients best interest. Marc Killian: Yeah, again, you're talking about relationship building. So why would you not want to have that transparency anyway on all facets of things? So it just totally makes sense. Okay. Tax strategy, so well, Plan With The Tax Man, right? Tony Mauro: That's right. My favorite. Marc Killian: Exactly. So I mean obviously if you're working with somebody who is, again, the focus is primarily on the accumulation and you don't really touch on some of the other pieces of the long-term aspect of retirement, getting into retirement, all that kind of stuff, then you're certainly a red flag because you got to have a tax strategy, Tony, you know this as a CPA, the prior year information is fine and good, you're handling all that, doing the annual taxes. But you really want to be thinking about future taxes as well, forward-looking. And someone like yourself who does multiple sides of the coin, you're a CFP as well as a CPA, you're looking at both of those. Tony Mauro: Trying to always look at both of those, especially with a financial plan planning client because you know what they say. Taxes, they're with us till the day we die. It touches pretty much everything. It's one of the biggest expenses over our lifetime. Why would you plan your future without taking that into consideration. And it's bad. And I don't know what the best word is here to say. I better leave it alone. I don't want to talk about the government. We're coming off to shut down and everything else. But as bad as they are, sometimes the tax code is full of things that we can do legally to help cut our taxes. And a lot of people aren't familiar with them or haven't taken advantage of that. And it's certainly true with retirement, but there's also some things you can do in retirement to cut your taxes now, but then you've got to deal with it later. You've got basically a payable to Uncle Sam. So it's important to factor that in when you're planning, I think. It's my number one favorite and my number one biggest reason why I think people should use somebody that has a tax background when they're planning. Marc Killian: And again, nothing wrong with your CPA looking at the prior year, that's their job, right? Tony Mauro: Right. Marc Killian: But working with someone who has, I guess the mindset to do both sides of the aisle if you want to stick with the political conversation, sort of is a great way to go about that. And of course doesn't mean that you can't have your own CPA and work with people as well, but just again, make sure you're having that tax strategy conversation and working with a financial professional who is thinking about the tax simplifications of the moves you're making because they will be there. They're not going anywhere to your point. And I guess Tony, that really just brings it back home to the final piece for, so we talk about five today, and that's just not a lot of information gathering. Look, you've been doing this 30 plus years. It's probably very fair to say if a brand new prospects walk walks into your door and sits down with you in that hour consultation, you probably, if you've got their information, you're looking at it, you probably could give them recommendations right then and there, right? Because you've been doing it long enough. You've seen it enough time. It's like mechanic says, "Oh, yep, I know exactly what's wrong with your car." However you want the diagnostic fully done to make sure that it's not something else or that all the different pieces. And that's where, again, the communication, the information gathering, taking the time to learn about the client is crucial when working with a professional. So if you're not getting that, that's a red flag. Tony Mauro: That's a huge red flag because yes, you're right. Somebody walked in my door hypothetically and said, "Look, I want to open up a Roth IRA. Just tell me what fund to put my money into and I'm going to go do it." Yeah, I could give them a number of funds or stocks or whatever else they want, but that's not really what I'm being paid to do. And I do have a duty to make sure that what I'm saying fits them. The only way that I can make a good recommendation, whether it's a plan or a specific investment, is to know a lot about what they want, what they have, where they're going. And so I generally gather a lot of information. Now we use some tools technologically, we use Asset Map for us. It makes it very easy for the client to get it started without having to feel like they're getting the third degree interrogation, trying to get every last piece of their financial advice or a life. But we try to make it fun for them. But in the end, and they help construct that. They tell us really everything they have and where they want to go and everything. And then we have it, like I say. We take their assets and kind of throw it on a map and rearrange it and come up with a plan. Marc Killian: And that's why it's Plan With The Tax Man. Tony Mauro: That's why it's was plan. You got to be able to plan. Marc Killian: You got to be able to plan. So look, a great financial advisor will build a relationship with you. If something feels off, listen to your gut. We have those things for a reason. A lot of times they're right. And their right advisor hopefully is not making you feel like you're in the dark or are not understanding or whatever the case is. And so if you're already working with somebody and you feel like you've got some red flags, and you're not getting answers to the questions and you're shopping around, or you're just shopping around for their first advisor, take the time to find the right fit for you. That's why they all offer those complimentary reviews and consultations. That's why the podcast, just about everybody has a podcast and video channels and stuff like that. It's a great way to learn more about them and that their philosophy is a good fit for you. Then you go in for the consultation and so on and so forth, and you see if it's a home run or not. So that's going to do it for this week here on Plan With The Tax Man. Don't forget to subscribe to us on Apple, Spotify or whatever podcasting app you like using, and you can find all that information at yourplanningpros.com, as well as get on Tony's calendar there and his radar for a consultation at yourplanningpros.com. With that, we're going to say we'll see you next... Well, right before Thanksgiving probably. So have yourself a great week and Tony, I'll talk to you soon. Tony Mauro: All right, thanks.

Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. 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. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of the conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA.

In this episode on Certificates of Deposit (CDs) as investments, we talk about the nuanced decision-making involved in purchasing CDs and whether or not CDs are good investments, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, and we explain why interest rates are the only factor you need to consider. Wealth creation isn't solely dependent on CD rates, and we need to consider the impact of inflation and interest rates to gain a comprehensive financial perspective. The episode also explores how government strategies to combat inflation by adjusting interest rates impact not only investors, but also shape the attractiveness of CDs as an investment option. In a rising interest rate environment, buying CDs may seem like a good idea but it depends on your needs and goals. Wealth isn't created by buying a CD based on a rate. It's created by understanding why the rate may not be all that important. Banks look at what is known as the federal funds rate, also known as a benchmark rate. This is the rate banks charge one another to borrow money overnight that's needed to maintain reserve requirements. Upstream in the decision making process is the Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC, who meet throughout the year to discuss and set monetary policy. Within these policies, rates are set and typically linked to inflation. When those rates are set, banks may adjust rates on loans, deposits and certificates of deposit. But just like any business, banks will adjust rates to compete in their market as they seek to cover their costs and maintain a profit. CDs specifically are an attractive tool for banks, because unlike a deposit account, CDs actually lock up customers with a maturity date, which gives banks better control of their cash flow. The higher rates draw in customers seeking to maximize their returns. Rates on CDs matter, but not as much when you factor in inflation and interest rates. If inflation is at 7% and interest rates are at 5%, the net is 2%. The same is true if inflation is at 0% and interest rates are at 2%. You have to look at both numbers to get a full picture. When you consider the gridlock within the housing market and the amount of debt our government holds, it's hard to believe rates can remain elevated over the long term. The government is desperately trying to combat inflation by raising rates. These higher rates not only impact consumers, but they also impact the government. According to the Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, in June of 2023, they projected that annual net interest costs on the federal debt would total $663 billion in 2023 and almost double over the next decade. Interest payments would total around $71 trillion over the next 30 years, taking up to 35% of all federal revenue by 2053. These numbers are impacted by interest rates and with lower rates come lower interest payments, so the government has reasons to see rates lower than they currently are. The question is: Does it make sense to lock in CD rates while rates are high? It depends. If you have money sitting in a bank account that you don't need and the CD rate is offering a higher rate than your savings, then it might be a good option. A good idea is to compare CD rates to other options like fixed annuities and money markets since they share some similarities but also have a few key differences that could make one choice better for your situation. Certificates of Deposit are offered by banks as a savings account that offers a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time, ranging from one month up to five years. They carry penalties if funds are removed before maturity, and they're FDIC insured up to $250,000. Fixed Rate annuities are issued by insurance companies and are financial products that offer a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time. Early withdrawals can incur a penalty, and interest earnings are tax deferred until you start taking distributions. The guarantees are backed by the claims paying ability of the insurance company and are insured by what is known as the State Guarantee Association. Money markets are funds issued by financial institutions that are backed by highly liquid short maturity investments. Maturities usually range from overnight to just under a year, and assets can be quickly converted to cash with minimal loss of value. They are generally considered more risky than a bank, CD or insurance company annuity, and the underlying investments include such things as treasury bills, commercial paper and CDs. While CDs offer the safety of fixed returns, they are not devoid of risks and limitations. It's essential to understand both the micro and macro economic factors that affect CD rates before diving in.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions tackle one of the most common retirement questions — “Do I really need $1.5 million to retire comfortably?” Jim and Casey break down where that number comes from, why it's often misunderstood, and what truly determines how much you need. They discuss the key variables that shape your retirement number — lifestyle, spending habits, healthcare, taxes, and longevity — and explain how income planning can often matter more than your total account balance. Whether you're just starting to save or approaching the finish line, this episode helps you replace the guesswork with a plan that fits your real life — not a headline.
Let's do a quick review of disability insurance! In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff dive into the details of long-term disability insurance. This coverage is very important for anyone who is still reliant on their income. Discussion topics include: When and why you need this insurance. Different kinds of disability insurance. Details of long-term disability including a breakdown of many common riders. A comparison of employer/group coverage vs. individual coverage. How to apply for coverage. When you may need to increase your coverage and when it's okay to cancel it. No one likes paying for insurance, but insurance allows you to share some larger financial risks with a third party. Disability insurance is a great example of that. Most of us feel invincible until we're not. For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, you can reach out to them at podcast@thefinitygroup.com. They would love to hear your questions and ideas for upcoming episodes.

Tariffs imposed under the International Emergency and Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) account for about 9.5pp of our estimated 14.7pp effective tariff rate after the reduction in fentanyl tariffs on China. Therefore, the Supreme Court's decision could have important implications for activity, inflation, deficits, debt, interest rates, and the dollar. We discuss risks and scenarios after the oral hearings. As expected US Treasury maintained nominal coupon sizes unchanged but also did not guide towards higher bill share. Instead guidance suggests appetite to grow coupon supply in 2027. We discuss scenarios and implications for the US rate and spread curve.

In this episode of Let's Talk Future, host Jane Ross speaks with Kristen Owen, Managing Director and Agriculture Technology Analyst at Oppenheimer, about how renewed trade progress with China, persistent food inflation, and the rise of artificial intelligence are reshaping American agriculture. Together they explore how innovation, policy, and global trends are redefining opportunity and resilience across the food economy—and why, even amid uncertainty, technology is helping build a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable future for farming.
