This week David is back in the studio, and there is much to talk about as January wraps up. David welcomes Rod Holloway from CFCI to the program to discuss tariffs and market fluctuation, as well as what's going on with Greenland and Europe - and the possible impact on the American economy.

David will also share about the great wealth transfer that is coming over the next several years - including the real estate transfers from Baby Boomers to their children and grandchildren.

Plus - you'll hear the first-hand stories from David's trip to Miami to watch the Hoosiers play in the National College Football Championship game! 

Happy New Year! David is back in the 98.7 The Zone studio this week to recap 2025. Doug Hughes will be joining him for the conversation regarding President Donald Trump's year, tariffs, geopolitics, national and global economies, artificial intelligence and more.

Oh, and some love for the IU Football team as well.

Catch the first new show of 2026 this week!  

David joined thousands of Hoosier fans at the Rose Bowl this week, and this week’s show starts with an update and then an encore of last week’s show.  

As the 2025 winds down, David will share how the holiday shopping season has gone so far, including a financial markets discussion with Rod Holloway from CFCI. 

Also, if retirement is in your sights for 2026, David will offer some tips to "get ready to get ready." 

This week David welcomes his father, Jerry Hays, back into the studio for their annual year-end program. David and Jerry will talk about real estate and banking (both fields Jerry has worked in), how to do retirement right and share some holiday cheer.

David will also be discussing holiday shopping for Gen Z, the Affordable Healthcare Act and what's going on with it and much more. 

This week David brings the final Q&A show for 2025, with some year-end thoughts and suggestions for 2026 as well.

Are you one to get your taxes done on January 2? David will share the planned IRS dates important for tax filing, plus share some financial tasks to consider in January.

Also on the list... how are Social Security funds managed? What is a Solo 401(k)? Is the first of the year a good time to revisit your investment allocations? There is plenty to discuss - so tune in! 

This week David welcomes back David McKnight, podcaster and author of "The Power of Zero."

David McKnight is a passionate advocate for tax planning, and he will bring that enthusiasm to the show. The conversation will focus on the benefits of Health Savings Accounts, Roth IRA conversions, target date funds for retirement planning and what he sees for the future of taxes in America over the next decade. You'll enjoy the conversation between the two Davids - tune in! 

With the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, this week's show will only air on Saturday, November 29 before being available online.

Tune in as David discusses tax planning for 2025 - catch-up contributions, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Roth IRA conversions and handling finances with blended families.

David will also discuss a renewed effort from Congress to require 401(k) contributions by employers and employees... and a market update with Rod Holloway from CFCI. 

We've made our list, and checked it twice...
