It’s TWO-Minute Tuesday!

Dale is checking in from Houston this week, where a tropical storm is rolling in. And with September historically being the toughest month for the S&P 500, the timing is fitting! 🌧️

So, what are we watching as we head into the month?

Dale hits on a few things that have our attention, including earnings, the labor market, inflation, and what both could mean for the Fed.

He’s also in Houston for a little work and a little fun. Over the next two days, he’ll be meeting with a mastermind group of advisors from across the country, sharing ideas on navigating the current market and ways we can continue positioning our clients for whatever the market may bring. We’re constantly learning, preparing, and never settling.

You can’t control when a storm rolls in. But is your portfolio ready to weather it? If you’re not sure, give us a call at 270.600.PLAN.

Why You Need a Retirement Plan..

September and October can bring market turbulence- and with midterm election uncertainty ahead, volatility could increase.
If you’re nearing retirement, now is the time to know what you own, how it performs in a downturn, and whether your plan can handle it.

Don’t wait for the next market drop to find out.

Know what you own. Know why you own it. Have a plan for retirement!

If you're close to retirement, September and October have historica...

There’s something special about stepping away from the day-to-day to invest in the people who make it all happen. ❤️

Our annual RDS Wealth Team Day was filled with connection, learning, growth, and a whole lot of fun!

We spent the day building, learning, and sharpening our skills as a team- challenging ourselves to grow not only individually, but together as a company. We wrapped up the day by connecting over a great dinner and enjoying time together outside of the office.
Day two consisted of bowling, an escape room, plenty of laughs, and some friendly competition made for the perfect way to continue building relationships and creating memories.

We’re incredibly grateful for this team and the energy, dedication, and heart each person brings to RDS Wealth. Our greatest strength isn’t just what we do, it’s who we do it with.

Dale Smothers joins Ashley on Varney & Co. on Fox Business to break down two of the market's biggest stories this week- Meta's legal settlement and its impact on the balance sheet, and what to watch for in Nvidia's second quarter earnings.

Dale compares the road ahead for AI-driven markets to a racetrack- a mix of straight stretches and hairpin turns and explains why Jensen Huang's commentary on hyperscaler spending may tell retirees more about what's next than the earnings number itself.

Tune in TODAY at 10:00 AM EST!

Dale Smothers will join Varney & Co. on Fox Business to discuss Nvidia’s earnings and what they could mean for the markets. 📈

You won't want to miss this conversation, stay tuned!

NVIDIA has a big earnings report coming, and it’s one we’ll be watching closely.

But the bigger question isn’t whether the stock goes up or down.

It’s what happens to your portfolio when it does.

As you near retirement, having too much tied to one company can create more risk than you realize.

This Two-Minute Tuesday, we’re talking earnings, overexposure, and knowing how much is riding on one stock. Dale Smothers

Last week, our RDS Wealth team had the opportunity to step away from the office and serve alongside some of our amazing clients at the Hope House Ministries in Bowling Green. ❤️

One of our favorite parts of what we do is building relationships that go beyond retirement planning- and getting to serve our community together made this day so special!

We’re incredibly grateful for our clients who joined us, rolled up their sleeves, and gave their time to help others. Thank you for being part of the RDS Wealth family and for making a difference right alongside us!
