The past couple of years have warped many of our perceptions about retirement, and the reasons why we save and invest. Doug Boneparth, Jamie Hopkins and Peter Lazaroff climb back aboard The Express to share their views about what the words "retirement" and "wealth" mean today, and how investors should approach their goals given higher interest rates and the end of easy money. Plus, the S&P Technology sector hits an all-time high as mutual fund managers are warming back up to stocks and planning for a soft landing. What could go wrong?

Julian Hebron of The Basis Point rejoins the show to myth-bust many of the media reports that have painted the real estate market with a broken brush. From affordability to supply, and the impact of A.I. to the seminal broker commission settlement, Julian shows why potential homebuyers and sellers are in the sweetest spot they've been in for years. Plus, more investors are sniffing around the junk bond market in search of higher and higher yields, but the rising stench of defaults is sending our warning winds. And, while the stock market makes new record highs behind the strength of Nvidia, consumer discretionary stocks have not been invited to the party.

Why the U.S. Real Estate Market Might Be Healthier Than We Think

From WealthStack at Inside ETFs, a conversation on building portfolios for the future that are built to withstand inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and volatility, with David Blanchett from PGIM, Jonathan Shelton from KraneShares and Michael Meehan from Nuveen. From farmland investing to China and Carbon Capture, professional investors are leaning into alternatives in ways that were hard to imagine just a few years ago. Plus, why last week's meme stock mania does not have the legs of the one we lived through in 2021. And, why now is such a special time to be a shareholder.

Redefining Risk, and the Future of Trading Technology

The Express returns to Omaha, Nebraska where tens of thousands of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders have gathered for 60 years to hear words of wisdom from Warren Buffett and listen to how he intends to keep growing their investment. Absent this year, of course, was Charlie Munger, Berkshire's former Vice-Chairman and Buffett's partner in building the conglomerate, who passed away last November just one month shy of his 100th birthday. We caught up with the Berkshire faithful as they shopped til they dropped and listened to Buffett's succession plans as he passes the reins to Greg Abel and Ajit Jain.

Inside the 60th Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting Among the Buffett Faithful

Carson Block, CEO of Muddy Waters Research, joins The Express to explain how one of the most influential short sellers identifies the frauds, the lies, the half-truths and the warning signs that companies sometimes use to dupe investors. Block discusses why his firm and others are looking deep into the commercial and residential real estate markets for what might be rotting inside balance sheets, and the catchphrases investors should be aware of inside corporate filings. Plus, retail investors took an extended spring break in April, but may have rediscovered their favorite stocks.
