@Osint613 Sounds like he is ready for a peace deal.

I oppose the suffocating bureaucracy of regulation—the endless forms, self-serving moats for incumbents, precautionary paralysis, and agencies that become the problems they were meant to solve—because it is the hallmark of socialism and strangles the innovation and progress of capitalism.

Yet I strongly support the modest, essential kind: guardrails, honest standards, safety brakes, and basic rules of trust that let people take risks, build, and trade under capitalism without fear of fraud or catastrophe.

This is the line I draw: against the dead hand of socialist overreach, for the thin thread of necessary order that makes free-market civilization possible.

When headlines are dominated by geopolitical conflict, inflation concerns, interest rate uncertainty, and market volatility, it's natural for investors to feel uneasy.

But market sell-offs and periods that feel like bear markets often reveal something important:
The greatest risk isn't always market volatility—it's abandoning a well-constructed investment plan at exactly the wrong time.

In a recent @finplan article, journalist Dan Shaw explored how advisors are responding to growing concerns about the global economy and market uncertainty. As part of the discussion, I shared that diversification remains one of the most important tools investors have during periods of stress.

As I noted in the article:
"For many high-net-worth investors, true diversification increasingly includes carefully selected private investments such as private real estate, private equity, and private credit alongside traditional public market holdings."

The reality is that during periods of market stress, traditional asset classes can become more correlated, making diversification even more critical.

While no investment strategy can eliminate risk, maintaining discipline, staying focused on long-term goals, and building portfolios designed for multiple market environments can help investors navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

Volatility is inevitable. Panic is optional!

@Gryffone @FrankRowenOnX @FoxNews @TreyYingst OK, I guess we’re done here… Other than I would add one thing. For Iran, there may be peace through (our showing) strength.

[Scott Bishop, CPA/PFS, CFP® @ScottB_CFP]

I am saying that as part of the “Axis of Evil” and the largest sponsor of terror, Iran is the Axis (regardless of recent events) since the 1980s. I am saying they are the enemy and that they and their terror proxies (like Hamas and Hezbollah) hit first…the Allies are those with Western Judeo-Christian values.

[Scott Bishop, CPA/PFS, CFP® @ScottB_CFP]

Sorry…Iran is the world’s largest sponsor of terror…full stop. Cruel decades ago (if you were talking Shah) means nothing vs. the citizen protestors that were assasinted by the tens of thousands this year alone. You put a rabid dog down, you don’t try to train it to be good or try to tempt it with a treat.

[Scott Bishop, CPA/PFS, CFP® @ScottB_CFP]

@FrankRowenOnX @FoxNews @TreyYingst With Iran, you also can't talk your way to peace...without force. Worth a new tactic. The tactics since the disastrous decisions in 1978-79, haven't worked.

Inflation is once again front and center for retirees and pre-retirees.

This week’s inflation data showed Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rising to 4.2% year-over-year, while Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation accelerated to 6.5% year-over-year, highlighting the continued pressure higher prices can place on household budgets and retirement plans.

In this recent @InvestmentNews article, I explored with journalist Leo Almazora how inflation is reshaping retirement decisions for older Americans, with many delaying retirement and drawing on savings sooner than expected. I share my perspective on why inflation has quietly turned retirement accounts into a backstop for everyday living and why stress-testing retirement plans for higher inflation scenarios is more important than ever.

@EliAfriatISR I didn't think they were ever going to sign a deal that was good for humanity.
