When headlines get loud and everyone rushes into the market, experienced investors start paying attention—for different reasons. On this episode, Mike Riedmiller breaks down what record-high stock exposure really means for retirement savers and why one bad year can erase years of progress. The conversation covers market risk, portfolio blind spots, inflation, and why age and stage matter more than account size. Mike also explains how a portfolio “X-ray” can reveal whether your investments match your goals—or expose you to surprises you didn’t see coming.
