📉 Federal Reserve Update

During the most recent Federal Reserve press conference, Chair Powell lowered rates by a quarter point.

David—who jokingly refers to him as "Chair Foul"—shared several observations about the current environment:

• The housing market has slowed due to high interest rates, low supply, and strong demand.

• Chair Powell commented that tariffs are not inflationary and acknowledged what he called a vibrant economyunder the Trump administration.

• David believes the U.S. could use tariff revenue to help pay down national debt and support farmers.

(These reflect David's analysis and commentary.)

📈 Looking Ahead to 2026

David sees 2026 as a risk-on, growth-oriented year. His message: be confident and unafraid to participate in investments as opportunities arise.

Financial Revelations with David Szafranski – Christmas Edition

Welcome to the Christmas edition of Financial Revelations with David Szafranski! We're wrapping up the year with mission updates, a market recap, giveaways, and David's outlook for the months ahead.

🎄 Amazon Mission Trip Update

Our upcoming mission trip to the Amazon is officially full—thank you to everyone who stepped up! But the work doesn't end there. You can still support ongoing projects:

🌐 nativosusa.org

Your donations help continue essential work, and prayer is always welcomed and encouraged. If you missed this trip, plan to join the next one!

📊 Year-End Market Recap

It's been a year of turmoil—Liberation Day, the AI trade, volatility—but the markets have rewarded those who stayed the course.

Here's where things stand year-to-date:

• S&P 500: +16.7%

• Nasdaq: +21.96%

• Dow Jones: +12.67%

It's been a great year for long-term investors. For those who panicked and exited the market, it likely didn't feel so great. But those who stayed in? We BOUGHT THE CHAOS!

🎁 Giveaway: Shirts & Hats

We still have a few "Buy the Chaos" shirts and hats left!

To enter, email:

📩 [email protected] Subject line:

👉 "I WANT TO BUY THE CHAOS!"

Winners chosen from the first emails received—good luck!

🎅 December Outlook: The Santa Claus Rally

David expects December to bring a Santa Claus Rally, meaning markets move upward into year-end.

The only potential obstacle? Next week's Federal Reserve meeting.

If Chair Powell does not announce a rate cut, David believes President Trump may announce his next Federal Reserve Chair earlier than expected.

A leading possibility: Kevin Hassett, a traditionalist known for focusing on:

• Full employment

• Lower inflation

• Reducing the size of the Federal Reserve

Changes in Fed leadership can have meaningful effects on interest rates and broader markets.

📈 Predictions for Next Year

David's outlook for 2026:

• Markets will go up

• Interest rates will move lower

• Inflation will continue to decline

• Gas prices will decrease

He also notes that the Big Beautiful Bill will need a full tax cycle before the economy reflects its long-term effects.

📈 Economic Commentary: Inflation & the Midterms

David shares an important observation this week: If Republicans want to perform well in the upcoming midterm elections, they will need to pay close attention to inflation and rising prices—a top concern for many voters.

Food prices in particular have jumped due to a combination of factors, including:

• Inflationary pressure

• Tariffs

• Avian flu impacts

• Lower production levels

These forces together are pushing grocery costs higher and shaping how households view the economy.

Tech stocks have been under pressure in recent weeks, but David isn't flinching. He's nowhere near trading them off.

A great question came in: "What do you do if there's leftover or unused money in a 529 plan?"

🎙️ Welcome to Financial Revelations with David Szafranski! 🎙️

I wrote a book! 📘 The Sin of Retirement is available now at sinofretirement.com and on Amazon. You can also grab the audiobook or eBook version, and while you're there, check out the new merchandise at sinofretirement.com.

🌎 March 2026 Mission Trip — Full! Our upcoming March 2026 mission trip to the Amazon is officially full! Thank you to everyone who reached out and signed up. We're already exploring the possibility of a second trip in July 2026, so stay tuned for updates.

💻 AI Trade Still Gaining Momentum Despite some predictions that it might roll over, the AI trade is still very much alive. We're still in the early stages, and the technology continues to improve daily. Expect to see more innovation, more adoption, and continued strength across AI-driven sectors.

📈 Risk Assets Are Still On Markets remain favorable for risk assets, and I'm staying invested. The growth environment continues to reward those with a long-term, disciplined strategy.

🏦 Fed Talk: Powell's Final Chapter? It looks like Chair Powell will not get another term. President Trump even weighed in this week — calling him a "nincompoop." There's still debate over whether the Fed will cut rates in December, but either way, the transition to a new Fed Chair next year could bring a fresh approach to monetary policy.

💰 Crypto Corner: What's Happening Now? Many of you have asked about what's going on in cryptocurrency. The big story right now is banks moving toward stablecoins — a digital asset designed to hold a steady value. This could be part of a broader shift toward transferring value without intermediaries, a key principle that crypto has championed from the start.

🎙️ Welcome to Financial Revelations with David Szafranski! 🎙️

Tonight marks our first meeting for the March 2026 mission trip to the Amazon! Space is limited, so if you're interested, let us know soon.

Our mission is to build fresh water wells for indigenous tribes in the Amazon, provide medical assistance, and continue building bathrooms for local communities. We're also working toward an exciting new goal — building a church. It's incredible to see how these trips are changing lives and bringing hope to people who need it most.

📘 The Sin of Retirement — Out Now! If you haven't picked up a copy yet, visit sinofretirement.com or find it on Amazon. It's available in softcover, audiobook, and eBook formats. The message remains the same — retirement isn't the end of your calling; it's a new beginning for purpose and impact.

📉 Fed Update: A Mixed Message The Federal Reserve met this week and, as expected, announced a 0.25% rate cut. Chair Powell came close to going out in style, but his comment that a December rate cut isn't guaranteed took some air out of the markets.

Still, this isn't bad news. A new Fed Chair will take office early next year, and I expect further rate cuts soon after. That means we could see additional opportunities for growth as rates adjust.

🏦 A Quick Refresher: The Fed's Two Jobs 1️⃣ Price Stability — keeping inflation low and steady. 2️⃣ Full Employment — maintaining low unemployment, ideally around 3%.

It's a delicate balance — and how they manage it will shape both the economy and the markets in the months ahead.

Rate Cuts, Risk Assets, and Real Purpose

🎙️ Welcome to Financial Revelations with David Szafranski 🎙️

Big news — my book, The Sin of Retirement, is officially out! You can pick up a copy on Amazon in softcover, audiobook, or eBook format, or by visiting sinofretirement.com. It's a message about living with purpose, legacy, and calling — not just coasting through retirement.

🌎 Missions in Motion We're excited to announce two trips to the Amazon in 2026! If you're interested in joining us, please reach out or visit nativosusa.org for more information. These trips are life-changing opportunities to serve others and bring clean water to communities in need.

💵 Now, onto the business of business. A rate cut is coming next week, with another likely before the end of the year — and possibly two more early next year. Mortgage rates could even dip below 5% by buying season.

Why now? It looks like Chairman Powell wants to go out with a bang, and these moves are creating strong momentum in risk assets.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has sanctioned Russian oil and is considering secondary sanctions for countries that buy from them. That will cause some market adjustments, and we may also see increased pressure on China, whose economy remains weak due to tariffs, declining production, and a population crunch.

💬 Listener Q&A Three great questions came in this week:

1. What do I think of cryptocurrency?

2. What is a QCD (Qualified Charitable Distribution)?

3. Should we invest in Beyond Meat?

Tune in to hear my take on each of these topics — and as always, send your financial questions to [email protected].

🎙️ Today on Financial Revelations with David Szafranski 🎙️

What an extraordinary 30, 60, and 90 days it has been! The world is shifting before our eyes, and America's power and might are on full display. Our enemies are taking notice—and it's about time.

💥 A Moment of Strength

In a move few believed would ever happen, the U.S. successfully carried out a surprise attack that took out Iran's nuclear site using a decoy operation. The result? A dramatic turn of events across the Middle East. Hamas has lost its support network, Iran's proxy system has been dismantled, and Israeli hostages have been released in powerful reunions that have touched hearts around the world.

Could this be the beginning of peace in the Middle East? With rebuilding already underway in the Gaza Strip, hope is on the horizon.

🇺🇸 America on Display

President Trump has accomplished more in this term than many leaders do in four or eight years—but there's no time to relax. The U.S. remains the greatest superpower, and maintaining that strength requires vigilance, leadership, and purpose.

📊 Market Outlook

Back home, I still believe we'll see two more rate cuts before the end of the year. I'm focused on risk assets and staying fully invested. It's a time for strategic growth, not fear.

📘 The Sin of Retirement — Out Now!

My new book, The Sin of Retirement, is available now at sinofretirement.com and on Amazon in softcover, eBook, and audiobook formats. It's a message about purpose, legacy, and redefining what it means to "retire."

🌎 Missions in Motion

Our next missions trip to the Brazilian Rainforest is set for March 2026. If you're interested in learning more or joining us, visit nativosusa.org. You can also support our Amazon Well Project through GoFundMe — just search David Szafranski.

📉 Fed Talk & Market Outlook October rate cut? It's practically in the bag. David is buying risk assets and staying fully invested, keeping very little in cash. While the government shutdown has caused a minor market drag, there's no significant concern at this time.

📈 Year-End Strategy David's approach going into the end of 2025: Put all the money to work. Many advisors manage money to avoid losses, but that often limits gains. David is managing with a growth mindset — focusing on building wealth, not just protecting it.

💬 Listener Q&A: Why is it so hard to get inflation back to 2%? David breaks it down and offers some insight into why this target remains elusive despite ongoing efforts.
