About this episode

Bob and Brian discuss the Fed's interest rate decision, investment strategies, and answer listener questions on retirement planning.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down the Fed’s decision to hold interest rates steady and what it really signals for investors, why the old “sell in May and go away” strategy can do more harm than good, and the hidden risks in chasing market trends—from short squeezes to speculative betting markets—while also answering listener questions on Roth conversions, pre-tax retirement strategies, and navigating a surprise business buyout offer.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
