Episode: Why So High?
Description: Questions? Comments?Despite lousy headlinesâtariffs, weak earnings, flat revenuesâthe market keeps climbing. Don and Tom explain why trying to guess the âwhyâ behind short-term moves is a foolâs errand, and why global diversification (including those long-shunned international small caps) is paying off. Listeners call in with smart, complex questions: million-dollar leftover 529s, the viability of the Hagerty Index for collectibles, catastrophic long-term care insurance, and a 401(k) loan vs. credit union loan for home repairs. The show wraps with heartfelt praise, a Mitch Albom-inspired moment, and confirmation: yes, listeners are thinking differentlyâand smarterâabout money.
