  • Truth Social: Wes Moss and Trump 🙉

    When I read or watch the news and I hear about the outrageous & racist things that Donald Trump says on Truth Social, you can thank Wes Moss. Wes Moss helped Donald Trump found Truth Social.

    I hope Wes is NOT Clark’s successor.

    Some would say this is political, but I see it as rights & wrongs. So much human suffering has been unleashed by Trump and his acolytes. I can’t support you anymore Clark. Do you hold the same values as Trump/Moss Clark??

  • Negative spin

    Download and listen to Wes on Tuesday and delete the rest from Clarke. Wes will provide a neutral data-based assessment while Clarke will put his political negative spin and even say that it is time to pull the family aside as the ‘end is near’ in regard to job or economic reports.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

06.23.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss & Clark
Q: Is it better to stick with a target-date fund or DIY an 80/20 portfolio for someone near mid-career?
A low-cost target-date fund is a solid baseline; for a disciplined investor, a customized mix with some international and small-cap exposure can improve diversification while maintaining simplicity.
06.23.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss & Clark
Q: How should an investor balance an ever-tech-heavy index against the risk of big IPOs underperforming later?
Maintain a diversified mix that includes broad market exposure and some non-tech allocation to reduce risk, while recognizing that large tech winners tend to drive overall index performance. Don't rely solely on one sector.
06.24.26 An Education In Change / Should You Purchase A Warranty - Ever?
Q: Should I enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for travel safety advice?
Enrolling is reasonable as a supplemental safety resource, but don't rely on it as your only source of information for travel decisions.
06.09.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: How much of retirement paycheck should come from dividends?
Dividends can provide steady income and psychological calm, but the right mix depends on your investment style and need for cash flow; some people thrive with 3-4% yields supplemented by other income, while others rely more on growth and eventual withdrawals.
06.16.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Is it better to draw on investments from 62 to 65 and hold off on the cash balance of social security or start everything at 62?
If you expect a long life, delaying social security and taking streams later can yield a higher lifetime payout; the decision should consider break-even timing and overall liquidity needs.
