Скачать или смотреть Full Show: Why This Retired Couple Is Still 70% in Stocks and Will the Fed Start Lowering Rates?

A retired couple in their 80s has big pensions, no debt, and a significant amount of their portfolio in stocks. While traditional wisdom suggests being more conservative with age, find out why they have an “infinite time horizon,” as fiduciary financial advisor Wes Moss explains. Also, the Federal Reserve is the engine of the U.S. economy, and its decisions on interest rates have massive ripple effects, from the housing market to your savings account. With the latest inflation and jobs reports suggesting a cooling economy, Wes explains why we may be at the end of the "higher for longer" era. He also provides a critical heads-up for savers.

Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take. All this and more on the August 19, 2025, Ask an Advisor episode of the Clark Howard podcast. Submit your questions: https://clark.com/ask
