  • 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.

06.02.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Tony from Utah asks about diversification in light of MAG-7 and whether to maintain a Total US index or add mid/small/international exposure.
Kenneth and Wes agree diversification is essential; add mid/small/international exposure or use equal-weighted funds to counter concentration risk in MAG-7, rather than sticking to a concentrated S&P 500 allocation.
06.02.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Mary from Pennsylvania asks about retirement withdrawals with Roth 401k and budgeting safety assets.
He emphasizes keeping dry powder in Roth 401k, using rebalancing within retirement accounts to maintain safety assets, and ensuring the numbers allow retirement today without compromising future security.
06.02.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Bruce from Florida asks about Social Security claiming strategy for him and his wife.
Wes notes the break-even math is about 11-12 years to recoup waiting, and recommends waiting longer if possible, while considering taxes and overall retirement income needs; for many, delaying Social Security improves long-term security.
06.02.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Rich from New York asks about funding a condo remodel via a HELOC versus taking IRA withdrawals.
HELOC is recommended as a cheaper bridge (6%) compared to 22%+ from IRA withdrawals, especially for a 1-2 year window, and to use it to cover renovations while preserving tax-advantaged funds.
06.02.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
Q: Bill from Arizona asks about retiring soon and whether to do Roth conversions given his wife's ongoing income.
Wes suggests staying within the 24% bracket, treating conversions as filling bracket buckets, and possibly delaying if the spouse will have income that keeps brackets sensitive, to avoid higher overall taxes.
