Van Wie Financial
Steven and Joey kick off a lively Saturday by unpacking a surprisingly strong, broad-based stock market, drilling into earnings, inflation data, oil shocks, and what the media gets wrong about the economy. They field a caller’s questions on gold, touch on quirks of London financial markets, and run a fun trivia question about how much Amazon sells every second. In the second half, they dive into retirement realities for boomers, explaining Social Security timing, the evolution from pensions to 401(k)s, and new plan ideas like Ted Benna’s “Radish Plan,” while warning listeners about high-commission gold and insurance schemes.
