Rising Rates and Bank Failures: Our Playbook for This Type of Environment Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

The second-largest bank failure in history and the possibility of more interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve are the hot topics of the week. Last week, Chairman Powell testified in front of Congress about how it's quite possible they will continue to raise rates. We’ve started to see the fallout of these rising rates and what it means for banks. Banks are required to keep a certain amount on deposit and in certain instruments to be available for customer withdrawals, and rising rates have affected the value of those reserves.

What do rising rates and this recent bank failure all mean for you personally and our overall economy? How can you earn more interest on your “safe” money? Rising rates don't mean you have to lose money if you're prepared. The Sandman is walking through our playbook on what you need to do in this type of environment.

What SOR Risk Is and How to Lower It Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

One of the biggest decisions—and largest risks—you’ll face in retirement is how to take money out of your accounts and live off of that for the rest of your life when the markets are going up and down. If you do it right, it's possible to have predictable, consistent income month after month. But if you do it hastily, you could run out. That's what we want to help you avoid against, and one of the main reasons people run out of money is something called SOR risk, also known as sequence of return risk. This is one thing you have to closely guard against. The Sandman covers what SOR risk is and how you can protect your retirement from it.

Plus, one of your most important assets is your health and well-being. Angie Campos, the clinical director of Egoscue postural therapy, is here to discuss how this therapy can help relieve pain.

Market Segment: Inflation Pressure Not Decreasing Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

The Core PCE Price Index shows inflation is not decreasing, which is how the Fed determines if interest rates should continue to rise in an attempt to combat it. This creates a headwind on stocks, making it tougher for companies to make money. Add that recipe into the market, and you get a negative reaction. How can shorter-duration Treasuries help mitigate some of the losses you may be experiencing in your stock portfolio? All that and more on this week’s market segment.
