Someone else’s big investment win can make you question a plan you felt good about yesterday.

That’s the fear of missing out, and it can be especially tempting when you hear about the next “hot” stock.

In this episode of Wall Street to Main Street, Tom Hamilton discusses how FOMO can influence investment decisions, why taking on more risk deserves a careful conversation, and how the stakes change as you approach retirement.

Have your goals changed, or does someone else’s success have you second-guessing your plan?

Higher bond yields. More income for investors. More expensive borrowing for everyone else.

On last week's Wall Street to Main Street, Tom Hamilton explains what that trade-off means for mortgages, business loans and retirement portfolios, and where potential income opportunities fit into the picture.

Is the AI boom a generational investment opportunity, or just the next market bubble?

Do you know whether the bonds in your portfolio are short term or long term? It matters.

When market yields rise, existing bond prices typically fall, even in the “safer” part of your portfolio.

Last Friday on Wall Street to Main Street, Tom Hamilton explains what drives longer-term interest rates and why not all bonds should be treated the same.

Most investors can name the stocks they own, but could they explain what is inside their bond allocation?

Bonds are often viewed as the “safe” side of investing. But safe does not mean simple.

On last Friday’s episode of Wall Street to Main Street, Tom Hamilton discusses:

→ Why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is not right for everyone
→ How changing interest rates affect bond values
→ Whether the extra yield from corporate and high-yield bonds is worth the added risk

There is no universal answer. A bond allocation should reflect the investor’s goals, risk tolerance, income needs, and time horizon.
