Investing Beyond Wall Street in Your IRA
Alternative investments inside IRAs are exploding in popularity — but before you buy rental property, gold bars, or private equity with retirement money, you need to understand the strict IRS rules and costly mistakes that can blow up your entire IRA. We’ll break down how self-directed IRAs really work, what assets are allowed, and the hidden tax traps, liquidity issues, and compliance headaches most investors never see coming.
The Semiconductor Supercycle
Semiconductor stocks have gone from market leaders to what some investors are calling a full-blown “melt-up,” as AI enthusiasm, explosive earnings growth, and fear of missing out send chip stocks soaring to extraordinary levels. We’ll discuss whether this rally is justified by fundamentals, how companies like Broadcom, Micron, and even Intel have fueled the surge, and why the AI boom is now driving up the cost of everything from laptops to gaming consoles.
Bubble Talk: Comparing Today to 2000
Is today’s AI-driven stock market rally the beginning of a technological revolution — or are we watching the early stages of another dot-com-style bubble? We’ll explore why semiconductor stocks and the Magnificent 7 are dominating the market, why investors keep ignoring war, inflation, and recession fears, and whether the belief in an “A.I. put” is creating one of the most concentrated and optimistic markets in modern history.
We discuss financial planning encompassing spending, saving, taxes, investments, insurance, retirement, estate plans, and more.
