  • Clark Howard, 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??

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

03.11.26 Retirees Returning to Work / Medical Privacy Warning
Q: What are the tax implications when investing in mutual funds versus ETFs in taxable accounts?
Clark explains that broad-based index funds like Fidelity Zero Funds have favorable tax treatment and tend to generate less ongoing taxable income, making them a solid choice in taxable accounts.
03.10.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: How should a retiree think about the size of their pension in relation to their portfolio?
Treat the pension as a steady cash flow, but assess it alongside total net worth and investment assets; calculate a sustainable withdrawal strategy and ensure you have a cushion beyond the guaranteed income.
03.10.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Is it time to load up on international stocks, given recent performance?
International exposure should be part of a well‑diversified asset allocation, but avoid overconcentration and guard against recency bias; maintain a balance between non‑US and US holdings based on long‑term goals and risk tolerance.
03.09.26 SAVE MORE On Groceries / NEW Airline Credit Card Advice
Q: Eric in Georgia asks for advice on a trip to northern Italy and travel cards for a family traveling abroad.
Clark recommends the Capital One Venture X for its strong travel credit and net affordability, and warns about exchange-rate tricks at ATMs in Europe, advising to withdraw euros and let a U.S. bank handle currency conversion, plus to enable Tap to Pay to simplify transactions.
03.09.26 SAVE MORE On Groceries / NEW Airline Credit Card Advice
Q: Katie in Florida asks if she should stay in a Verizon family plan and whether upgrading a phone through the carrier is worth it.
Clark explains that while the carrier upgrade can seem convenient, it often locks you into a contract and higher monthly costs; he suggests evaluating the total cost versus buying the phone outright or using a no-commitment plan, and considering whether the bundled savings actually outweigh the risk of a longer commitment.
