With the stock market continuing to reach record territory, the “Henssler Money Talks” hosts tackle a familiar question: What do you do with fresh cash when stocks are already at all-time highs?

Some financial decisions can’t be made by looking at just one number. This week, we start with major changes coming to federal student loan repayment and why married borrowers may need to consider not only their monthly payment, but how their tax-filing status affects both their cash flow and bigger financial picture.

Then, a listener asks whether it’s time to rethink a healthcare fund he’s owned for 25 years. We examine what’s changed in the sector, how artificial intelligence could reshape parts of the healthcare industry, and why deciding whether an investment still belongs in your portfolio requires looking beyond recent performance to your allocation, goals, and time horizon.

Finally, with the stock market continuing to reach record territory, we tackle a familiar question: What do you do with fresh cash when stocks are already at all-time highs? From rebalancing and paying down high-interest debt to fixed income, diversification, and putting money into the market gradually, we explore ways to put your next dollar to work without trying to predict the next correction. We wrap up with a look at the latest market moves and what’s been driving them.

Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.

The “Henssler Money Talks” host take a closer look at securities-backed lines of credit and the heightened risks of borrowing against a concentrated stock position, including maintenance calls and forced sales when the share price falls.

Accessing cash, building savings, and planning for retirement all involve choices between what we need today and what we may need tomorrow. We begin with securities-backed lines of credit and the heightened risks of borrowing against a concentrated stock position, including maintenance calls and forced sales when the share price falls. 

Next, we examine Radish, a proposed employer-funded savings plan designed to help workers save without contributing from their paychecks and consider how it compares with 401(k)s, pensions, and cash compensation. 

Finally, we look beyond the alarming headlines surrounding Social Security to explain what the projected shortfall could mean for Gen X — and how investors can prepare for an uncertain outcome without assuming their benefits will disappear.

Our latest “Henssler Money Talks” podcast explores the growing credit divide and what it reveals about today’s K-shaped economy.

Buying a home, building good credit, preparing for retirement, and navigating the markets all require looking beyond today’s headlines. 

Shanna Squires of Henssler Mortgage Advisors joins us to explain what actually happens during the mortgage process — from pre-approval to closing — including why pre-approval may not always be what you can afford, why lenders ask for so much documentation, and how your mortgage lender should be working with you every step of the way  before getting the keys.

After the break, we also explore the growing divide in consumer credit, as more Americans achieve top-tier credit scores while others struggle with record credit card balances and how it mirrors our K-shaped economy.

We examine the changing realities of retirement as more Baby Boomers choose to upsize instead of downsize, reflecting a shift toward multigenerational living, entertaining, and homes designed to support aging in place.

We close with a look at the latest earnings season, why investors are becoming more selective about companies' AI spending, and whether the other 493 companies in the S&P 500 can help broaden market leadership.

This week on Henssler Money Talks, we're cutting through the noise to focus on the financial issues that could have the biggest impact on your decisions.

We begin with a look at the latest market headlines—from CPI data and the start of earnings season to Federal Reserve testimony on inflation and uncertain progress in the U.S.–Iran ceasefire.

Then we answer a listener’s question many homeowners are asking: If you’ve locked in a 3% mortgage, should you stay put or move anyway? Sometimes the best financial decision isn’t the right decision for your lifestyle. 

We'll also revisit some of the financial advice that has become accepted as fact and discuss how changing markets, interest rates, and modern lifestyles have challenged some of the guidance investors have heard for decades.

Finally, we'll examine why Ponzi schemes continue to fool investors, the warning signs to watch for, and practical steps you can take to help avoid becoming a victim.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
