Description

"Risk" and "uncertainty" are similar concepts. But your financial plan has to be prepared to cope with both.

I think that mix is what's making some folks a little uneasy right now. In addition to the typical risks that all investors accept, we're also dealing with uncertainty around the government shutdown and what the effects on the economy will be until our leaders get back to the negotiating table.

And, despite strong market returns this year, some observers are uncertain about the outsized impact that big tech companies might be having on portfolios.

On today's show, we try to clear away some of the fog around the shutdown and the latest market data so that folks can start clarifying their plans for 2026.
