The Retirement Spectrum

Trying not to panic about tariffs and markets. Using dividend paying stocks. Does everything in your retirement plan have a purpose? Should you Increase or Decrease your market risk in retirement?

Is your retirement strategy built on a 100-year-old gamble? As the "Roaring 2020s" mirror the volatility of the 1920s, Alan Cohen explores why a soaring S&P 500 isn't enough to secure your future. This episode breaks down the "Magnificent Seven" market dominance, the reality of looming interest rate cuts, and why the best time to retire depends on your plan, not the ticker tape. From "grimy" Eagles football talk to "portfolio x-rays," learn how to transition from aggressive growth to reliable income while protecting your hard-earned gains from the inevitable next dip.
