    Main Street Money - Week of Fri June 12th 2026

    This episode has a strong theme: markets are adjusting to a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, but the bigger risk for many investors isn't volatility—it's abandoning their plan. What happens when the market realizes interest rates may stay higher for longer? That's the question investors wrestled with this week. On this week's episode of Main Street Money, Andrew Gay and Gilbert Paiz break down why stocks took a breather after a powerful run, what changing Federal Reserve expectations could mean for investors, and why strong corporate earnings continue to support the market despite recent volatility. Topics discussed include: • Why the S&P 500 and Nasdaq pulled back this week• The growing possibility that interest rates remain elevated—or even move higher• What strong earnings are telling us about the economy• Why AI isn't the only story driving markets today• The danger of holding too much cash• Purchasing power risk versus market risk• How disciplined investors navigate uncertain markets One of the biggest mistakes investors make is confusing short-term volatility with long-term risk. This episode explores why a sound financial plan should be built to weather both. If you're wondering how today's market environment could impact your retirement, investment strategy, or long-term financial goals, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

    Main Street Money Podcast - week of Fri June 5th 2026

    This week on Main Street Money, Andrew and Gilbert discuss why a pause in the market is not necessarily a problem. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq pulled back modestly this week, the bigger picture remains largely unchanged. Major indexes remain near historic highs, corporate earnings continue coming in strong, and investors are reassessing expectations for interest rates and Federal Reserve policy.In this episode we discuss: • Why short-term market pullbacks are a normal part of investing • The latest developments surrounding inflation, interest rates, and the Fed • Strong corporate earnings and what's really driving stock prices higher • Why AI isn't the only reason for market optimism • A common misconception about Social Security and retirement income • Why most Americans will ultimately need to help fund their own retirement through savings and investments One of the biggest mistakes investors make is assuming what happened this week will continue forever. Successful investing isn't about reacting to every headline—it's about having a plan that can withstand uncertainty.
