    8-28-26 Will Your IRA Go to the Right People?

    Who inherits your IRA could matter just as much as what's in it. The SECURE Act changed the rules for inherited retirement accounts, while newer IRS regulations created additional planning opportunities for trusts and multiple beneficiaries. Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty break down IRA beneficiary designations, the 10-year distribution rule, trusts as retirement account beneficiaries, and why outdated estate plans can create unintended tax consequences. Plus, we explain how properly structured trusts and subtrusts may provide greater flexibility for spouses, children, and other heirs. Before assuming your will or trust has your retirement accounts covered, make sure your beneficiary strategy actually works the way you intend. 0:00 INTRO 0:20 - Nana Nun, teaser: Designating Beneficiaries Can Become a Nightmare 2:03 - Uber & Zipline drone delivery; Why the Young "have no money" 9:23 - Account Titling and Probate Avoidance 14:00 - Revocable Living Trusts 15:57 - Setting Beneficiaries on Assets 18:31 - How to Use TOD (Transfer on Death) 20:10 - Mistakes w IRA Beneficiaries 25:39 - The Benefits of Online Savings (adding/subtracting beneficiaries) 27:47 - Best Practices for Titling: Be Specific 29:46 - Naming Contingent Beneficiaries Hosted by RIA Advisors' Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan McCarty, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

    8-27-26 Nvidia Says the AI Boom Is Just Getting Started

    Nvidia delivered another blockbuster quarter, reporting record revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year ago, as demand for AI infrastructure continues to accelerate. But the bigger story may be what comes next. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz break down Nvidia's latest earnings, its extraordinary growth outlook, Blackwell and Vera Rubin demand, the massive buildout in AI infrastructure, and Nvidia's growing financial involvement across the AI ecosystem. We also examine the risks, including rising memory costs, margin pressure, enormous capital requirements, and questions about whether today's AI spending boom can deliver adequate returns. 0:00 INTRO 1:00 - Economic Recap & Multiplier Effect 6:31 - Market Push from NASDAQ 11:45 - Passwords, Needles & Rosso's toys 14:30 - NVIDIA Reports - Markets Respond 21:36 - How Ancillary Business Benefit from NVIDIA 24:03 - NVIDIA Stock Performance 25:32 - The Heat Map Game 27:25 - Portfolio Positioning & Nat Gas play 30:37 - The Economics of Gilligan's Island 35:33 - Productivity Factors of AI 38:04 - How Much Return on AI Investment will there be 39:57 - How Will AI be Transformative? 42:42 - We're All Investing in AI Hosted by RIA Advisors' Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Portfolio Manager, Michael Lebowitz, CFA Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

    8-27-26 NASDAQ Technicals Are Turning Higher | Before the Bell

    The NASDAQ is showing signs of technical improvement after five straight down days and a significant mean-reversion move. The 20-DMA has moved back above the 50-DMA, a rising trend line is developing, and improving momentum could put recent highs back in play. But this is not an "all clear" for technology stocks. September seasonality, a post-earnings data lull, Fed policy, and upcoming economic reports could keep markets choppy. We look at what the NASDAQ and semiconductor charts are signaling, where momentum may be headed next, and why investors should continue to manage risk despite improving technicals.

    8-26-26 NVIDIA Earnings Put Market Support to the Test | Before the Bell

    Markets are holding the 20-day moving average, but momentum remains under pressure as September seasonality and midterm election risk approach. Investors may want to rebalance, raise stops, and keep some cash available as the market consolidates. Tonight, NVIDIA earnings take center stage. With the stock already pulling back, options pricing in a roughly 5% move, and key technical support below, could NVIDIA's report trigger the next breakout, or will disappointment send shares toward deeper support?

    8-25-26 Are Today's Interest Rates Really That High?

    Interest rates are rising, long-term bond prices have pulled back, and investors are once again worried that higher Treasury yields could threaten the economy and markets. But what if today's rates aren't historically high at all? After more than a decade of near-zero rates and easy monetary policy, investors may have become accustomed to an environment that was anything but normal. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn put today's interest rates into historical perspective, examine what higher yields really say about inflation, growth, debt, and deficits, and explain why a 5% long-term Treasury yield may not be the crisis many headlines suggest. We'll also look at what the changing rate environment means for stocks, bonds, portfolio risk, and investors deciding whether weakness in longer-duration bonds is a warning—or an opportunity. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Weekly Preview & Treasury General Account Bond Buy Backs 2:04 - Shorting Treasuries & The Hedge Fund Trade 5:37 - Markets Going Thru a Slow-Motion Correction 8:24 - BitCoin Rallies on Bessent Announcement 11:52 - Bonds & Rates: Brake or Break? 19:08 - Rates Are Normal 21:56 - The Primary Determinants that Set Loan Rates (Economic Composite Index) 25:46 - The Effect of Debt on Economy 29:46 - The Negative Multiplier, Measured (Gov't.

    8-25-26 Market Correction: Patience Pays | Before the Bell

    Markets are working through a slow, controlled correction as seasonal weakness and momentum sell signals pressure the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. With September approaching, investors may be tempted to react as some positions lag while others rally. The key is patience. Corrections are a normal part of the market cycle, and sometimes the best move is no move at all. Plus, Bitcoin's sharp rally has pushed short-term momentum and relative strength to extreme overbought levels. We discuss why taking some profits now, then waiting for a pullback before adding exposure, may help manage risk.

    8-24-26 Is the Basis Trade Distorting Bond Yields?

    Are Treasury yields still sending investors a reliable signal about inflation, growth, and Federal Reserve policy, or is the massive basis trade distorting the message?
