On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, look ahead to the fourth quarter and a key test for the stock market: earnings season.

As companies begin reporting their latest results, what should investors be watching? Could corporate earnings provide the next catalyst for stocks, or could disappointing results change the market’s direction? And what might company forecasts reveal about where the economy and markets are headed next?

Even if earnings deliver, other risks remain. What could disrupt the market’s momentum? Could an unexpected event at home or abroad quickly change the outlook? And is your portfolio prepared if volatility notches higher?

Today's Topic: The Good, the Bad, and Where to Go?

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, examine the mixed signals facing investors as a strong economy collides with concerns about inflation, interest rates, artificial intelligence, and political uncertainty.

There are plenty of reasons for optimism. Business activity has accelerated, the labor market remains relatively strong, and companies continue to invest. But could some of that economic strength also create new challenges for investors? And what could it mean for inflation and the direction of interest rates?

At the same time, rising bond yields, elevated energy prices, and questions surrounding the enormous investment in artificial intelligence are creating new uncertainties. Could higher borrowing costs put additional pressure on markets? How should investors think about the opportunities and risks surrounding AI? And what other concerns could influence markets in the months ahead?

With the midterm elections approaching and political tensions running high, investors may also be wondering how much politics should influence their portfolio decisions. Should they make changes ahead of potential market volatility? Where might higher interest rates create additional risks? And why could diversification remain especially important in an uncertain environment?

Watch today’s Market Update as David and Robert separate the economic positives from the potential warning signs and discuss what investors may want to consider as they navigate the months ahead, and PlanStronger® for your financial future!

Today's Topic: Metals, Commodities, & Infrastructure - Too Late to Allocate?

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, look beyond traditional stocks and bonds to explore other areas investors may want to consider as part of a diversified portfolio.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the economy, demand for energy, metals, commodities, and infrastructure is attracting attention. Could these real assets have a place in an investment portfolio? And what might growing demand for the resources behind AI mean for investors?

After strong performance in areas such as precious metals and commodities, have investors already missed their opportunity? What could these investments offer that traditional stocks and bonds may not? And how might they behave when financial markets become more volatile?

Of course, investing outside traditional asset classes can come with additional risks. How much exposure is appropriate? What should investors avoid when considering these investments? And could diversification within real assets be just as important as diversification across stocks and bonds?

Today's Topic: How Rising Yields Affect Bond Prices

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, discuss the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision and what it could mean for investors and the financial markets.

With the Fed’s decision just a day away, expectations for a rate hike are running high. What is driving those expectations, and how could stocks and bonds respond if the Fed raises rates? David and Robert look at the economic signals investors are watching, including inflation, energy prices, manufacturing, and employment.

For investors who rely on bonds for income, rising interest rates bring a new set of questions. What happens to existing bond holdings when yields rise? Could higher rates create new opportunities for income investors? And what role could credit quality and diversification play as the interest-rate environment changes?

With the Federal Reserve preparing to make its next move, how should investors think about higher rates, changing bond yields, and the potential impact on their portfolios?
