In this special Q2 Market Review episode of Off the Wall, we're introducing a new segment: Ask Monument Anything (AMA). Dave, Nate, and Erin answer questions from clients and listeners, and also cover what went down in the markets during the second quarter of 2025. They cover everything from interest rates and inflation to timing your investment strategy and understanding international diversification.

If you are wondering how to approach market timing, if cash is still king, or if international stocks should fit into your portfolio, this episode is for you!
