Today I want to talk about experiential technologies - not exponential - experiential. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, the Metaverse: these breakthrough technologies are helping businesses and consumers function more efficiently. And all of this is going to transform the way we shop, the way we play travel, drive, learn, conduct business, even how we make new scientific discoveries. Some...

It's January 18th. Yesterday I told you that real estate prices are going to fall this year by a lot - 10% or 20% or more in some markets. I've gotten a lot of questions asking me why I said that. Well, here's why. It's all about home affordability. You can't buy a house unless you can afford to buy a house. I mean, you might not be able to afford a candy bar, but no one stops you from buying it....

It's Tuesday, January 17th. Do you remember what I told you to do one year ago? Yeah, you don't remember. But I do. Because I was right. I told you one year ago to get out of bonds. I sure hope you did. The Federal Reserve, as you know, raised interest rates more quickly last year than at any time since the 1980s. And the result was that bonds ended up having their worst year ever. Yeah. 10 year T...

Today is Friday, January 13. On today's show - The FDA has just approved a new drug called Leqembi. If you have early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, it can slow the cognitive decline. However, the cost makes it prohibitive for most people - at $26,000 per year! And to make matters worse, Medicare won't pay for it. This is bad news for the estimated six million people in the U.S. suffering from t...

It's Wednesday, January 11. I talked with you yesterday about Social Security. This is the real crisis that America's retirees are facing. Let me shift the conversation back a few generations to, not today's seniors, but to today's high school students, those who are aspiring to go to college. According to a new survey, 77% of households say college is difficult to afford. Three out of four famili...

It's Tuesday, January 10. On today's show: the gap between what Social Security was MEANT to provide when it was created and how it's actually being used today. When Social Security was created, there were a lot of workers and not a lot of retirees because life expectancy was so low - we're just not dying at 65 anymore like we are supposed to! Take a look at your current S.S. statement and what yo...

Today is Monday, January 9th. Welcome to The Truth About Your Future. I'm going to share with you a couple of very personal stories today.

You know, it's so often people, when they go through a personal medical experience, they sh...

Yes, inflation hit a 4-decade high in 2022, the cost of goods and energy is up globally, and half of economists say a recession is in our future. According to the IMF, 2023 will be the worst year for the global economy since 2001. But investors and advisors need to keep this fundamental truth in mind: there’s a huge difference between the stock market and the economy. You need to know the key indi...

Recently you heard me talk about the president's student loan proposal, and you know that I strongly oppose the president's debt forgiveness plan. But all that said, there's no question that too many people owe too much money to student loans, and this dilemma is creating too much of a burden on them, as well as on our society overall, and our economy. So there's no question we do need to fix this...
