It's TWO-Minute Tuesday, and Dalton has three big topics on his radar this week: AI, corporate earnings, and the Federal Reserve!

🤖 Artificial Intelligence: After some turbulence in the technology sector last week, markets have bounced back as investors continue watching the billions being poured into AI.

📊 Corporate Earnings: Nearly one-third of the S&P 500 is reporting this week, and strong results could help carry the market's momentum into year-end!

🏦 The Federal Reserve: Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, but what the Fed says about future decisions could be even more important.

Add in the upcoming midterm elections, and there's plenty that could move the markets in the months ahead.

Markets will always have their ups and downs, but your retirement shouldn't have to ride every wave. At RDS, our Risk On/Risk Off approach is designed to help you navigate changing markets while keeping your retirement goals front and center.

Today, we’re celebrating the man who leads our team, keeps us moving forward, and reminds us what it means to lead with purpose. We’re grateful for his leadership, vision, and the opportunity to be part of the RDS Wealth team!

Also..’Q’ understood the assignment this year and gave Dale a mini bobblehead version of himself! Because apparently, one Dale just isn't enough around here. Now we have a full-size leader and a desk-size leader… both keeping us on our toes! 🤣🥳 Happy Birthday Dale Smothers! Quentin Knifley

An unforgettable evening celebrating the people who make RDS Wealth so special! ✨

Our most recent event at the Louisville Slugger Museum was one for the books! From touring the museum and capturing memories in the photo booth to enjoying great food, live music, and even a little time in the batting cages, it was an evening filled with laughter, meaningful conversations, and connection.

Beyond the fun, we had the opportunity to reflect on the road ahead, discuss the changing market, and celebrate something even bigger: the incredible impact our clients make in the lives of their families, communities, and the world around them every single day.

At RDS Wealth, we believe retirement is about so much more than numbers. It’s about the people you love, the legacy you’re building, and the difference you want to make. Getting to celebrate those things together is what makes evenings like this so meaningful.

Thank you to our clients for trusting us to be part of your retirement journey. We’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built and look forward to all that’s ahead! 💙

Hop in the truck and ride along with Dale for this week's TWO-Minute Tuesday!

SpaceX just released its latest earnings, and there's a lot of excitement surrounding AI and the future of technology. But with all that excitement comes an important question for anyone approaching retirement or already there.

How much risk do you actually NEED to take?

We believe AI has the potential to change the way we live and create tremendous opportunities. But that doesn't mean you need to put your retirement savings at unnecessary risk just to participate.

It all comes back to having an income plan. Do you still need your investments to grow? Or have you already made the money you need, and now your focus should be on keeping it?

Those are two very different situations, and your retirement portfolio should reflect that.

Dale's breaking it down from the driver's seat on this week's TWO-Minute Tuesday! 👇

The goal isn't to take as much risk as possible. It's to take the amount of risk your retirement plan actually calls for. Not sure where you stand? Give our team a call at 270.600.PLAN.
