To achieve true diversification and reduce market concentration risks, Ric discusses alternative strategies beyond traditional S&P 500 index funds. Equal-weighted ETFs like Invesco's RSP and mid-cap growth funds like OEGAX provide more balanced exposure and potential growth opportunities by focusing on smaller and mid-sized companies. And retirees receiving Social Security benefits may find that earning extra income may result in additional taxes that actually offset their extra earnings. Ric suggests strategies to avoid the trap and recommends talking with a tax advisor. #InvestingStrategy #Diversification #ETFs #FinancialPlanning #S&P500 #EqualWeightETF #MidCapGrowth #MarketConcentration #WealthBuilding #LongTermInvesting #RetirementPlanning #TaxStrategy #SocialSecurity #TaxTorpedo #RothIRA #FinancialAdvising #IncomePlanning #MedicareCosts #ProvisionalIncome #TaxImplications ----- Join our mailing list: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/podcast Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152  Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric  -----   Links from today’s show:   Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) https://www.invesco.com/us/en/etf/sp-500-equal-weight-rsp.html Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund ETF (OEGAX) https://www.invesco.com/us/financial-products/mutual-funds/product-detail?audienceType=Advisor&productId=FUND-31730 Invesco website: Invesco.com 12/9 Webinar - What the Election Results Mean for Crypto: https://dacfp.com/events/what-the-election-results-mean-for-crypto 12/10 Webinar - The Retirement Revolution: ETF Solutions for Modern Retirement Planning: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/the-retirement-revolution-etf-solutions-for-modern-retirement-planning 2/24-2/26 Wealth Management Convergence-2025 https://www.thetayf.com/pages/convergence-2025 11/13 Webinar Replay - An Innovative Way to Generate Income in a World of Declining Rates: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/november-13-2024-an-innovative-way-to-generate-income 10/9 Webinar Replay - Crypto for RIAs: Yield, Staking, Lending and Custody.

As Chegg has plummeted in value due to competition from AI tools like ChatGPT, investors must embrace innovative, forward-thinking companies rather than outdated ones.

President Biden's student loan forgiveness program has relieved five million borrowers, yet many still face significant financial stress, often replacing student debt with other burdens like credit card debt. The relief, while appreciated, is deemed insufficient to change lives fundamentally, highlighting that financial struggles persist beyond the scope of loan forgiveness. Plus, Ric highlights a critical issue with annuities: while the products themselves can be legitimate, consumers often struggle to understand them due to poor sales practices and a lack of transparency from agents, who are incentivized to prioritize commission over client education. #StudentLoanForgiveness #FinancialStruggles #DebtRelief #BidenAdministration #EconomicImpact #CreditCardDebt #HouseholdFinance #FinancialEducation #HigherEducation #PolicyDebate #Annuities #ConsumerAwareness #FinancialEducation #SalesPractices #FiduciaryStandard #InsuranceAgents #InvestmentProducts #FinancialLiteracy #Transparency #CommissionConflict ----- Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152 Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric -----  Links from today’s show:  8/13 Podcast - Insurance Industry’s Latest Battle Against Consumer Protection:  https://www.thetayf.com/blogs/this-weeks-stories/the-insurance-industry-s-latest-battle-against-consumer-protection 10/9 Webinar - Crypto for RIAs: Yield, Staking, Lending and Custody.

A biomedical engineering company is developing head transplants using robotics and AI to help patients with severe conditions retain their consciousness while receiving a new body, with potential surgeries starting within eight years. Meanwhile, studies show psychedelics can improve emotional states in rats, and non-surgical techniques using ultrasound and 3D printing are repairing tissues. Plus, Ric answers a question from a listener who is considering a corporate trustee for her new trust. While professional trustees can offer unbiased management, it's crucial to ensure that heirs can remove and replace them if necessary to maintain accountability. #HeadTransplant #BiomedicalEngineering #Robotics #AI #Psychedelics #MentalHealth #3DPrinting #NeuralImplants #Innovation #FutureMedicine #EstatePlanning #Trustee #CorporateTrustee #FinancialAdvice #WealthManagement #TrustServices #AssetManagement #FamilyTrust #Inheritance #LegalAdvice ----- Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152 Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric -----  Links from today’s show:  10/9 Webinar - Crypto for RIAs: Yield, Staking, Lending and Custody.

As I grapple with these issues, I seek your input to help resolve my uncertainty and help us all make an informed decision. #Election2024 #UndecidedVoter #DonaldTrump #KamalaHarris #EconomicPolicies #TaxReform #ControversialAssociations #FederalDeficit #CapitalGainsTax #PoliticalAnalysis #VoterFeedback #PresidentialRace #PolicyImpact #PoliticalDebate #VoterConcerns #CandidateIssues #SeekingInput --  Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152  Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric  -----  Links from today’s show:  Kamala Harris Official Campaign Website Policy Page:  https://www.kamalaharris.com/issues/ Donald Trump Official Campaign Website Policy Page:  https://www.donaldjtrump.com/platform  9/20 Webinar - Q4 Crypto Outlook: What You Need to Know Now: https://dacfp.com/events/q4-crypto-outlook-what-you-need-to-know-now  9/25 Webinar - Unlocking Alpha in Crypto-Equities and Beyond: https://dacfp.com/events/unlocking-alpha-in-crypto-equities-and-beyond  9/11 Webinar Replay – Rates are Poised to Drop, Now What?: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/rates-poised-to-drop-now-what  9/10 Webinar Replay – Bitcod-fund-quickly-rakes-in-245m-right-behind-franklin-templetons-older-offering/  Become Certified in Blockchain and Digital Assets: https://dacfp.com/certification/    -----   Follow Ric on social media:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicEdelman   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ric_edelman/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricedelman/   X: https://twitter.com/ricedelman   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicEdelman   -----   Brought to you by:   Invesco QQQ: https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/home.html   State Street Global Advisors: https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/capabilities/spdr-core-equity-etfs/spy-sp-500/cornerstones   Schwab: https://www.schwab.com/   Disclosure page: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/sponsorship-disclosure-fee   -----

Since 2000, there has been a significant rise in deaths and serious illnesses related to high blood pressure and obesity, affecting even younger people. But there is a growing shift towards healthier lifestyles, including reduced alcohol consumption and an increase in the popularity of non-alcoholic beer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a good diet, and strong relationships, can significantly extend both lifespan and health span, with advances in medical technology improving recovery from surgeries like knee and hip replacements. #HealthyLiving #LifestyleChange #ObesityAwareness #HeartHealth #DiabetesPrevention #NonAlcoholicBeer #AthleticBrewing #ExerciseDaily #GoodDiet #NoSmoking #StressManagement #SleepWell #SocialConnections #MedicalAdvances #KneeReplacement #HipReplacement ----- Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152  Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric  -----  Links from today’s show:  Athletic Brewing: https://athleticbrewing.com/  9/20 Webinar - Q4 Crypto Outlook: What You Need to Know Now: https://dacfp.com/events/q4-crypto-outlook-what-you-need-to-know-now 9/25 Webinar - Unlocking Alpha in Crypto-Equities and Beyond: https://dacfp.com/events/unlocking-alpha-in-crypto-equities-and-beyond 9/11 Webinar Replay – Rates are Poised to Drop, Now What?: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/rates-poised-to-drop-now-what 9/10 Webinar Replay – Bitcod-fund-quickly-rakes-in-245m-right-behind-franklin-templetons-older-offering/ Become Certified in Blockchain and Digital Assets: https://dacfp.com/certification/   -----  Follow Ric on social media:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicEdelman  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ric_edelman/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricedelman/  X: https://twitter.com/ricedelman  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicEdelman  -----  Brought to you by:  Invesco QQQ: https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/home.html  State Street Global Advisors: https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/capabilities/spdr-core-equity-etfs/spy-sp-500/cornerstones  Schwab: https://www.schwab.com/  Disclosure page: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/sponsorship-disclosure-fee  -----
