What should you review before keeping your Medicare plan for another year?

A lower monthly premium may look appealing, but it does not show the full cost of your coverage.

In this clip, Galo Baca, CFP®, Senior Financial Advisor at Goldstone Financial Group, explains why it is important to confirm that your doctors and specialists remain in-network while also reviewing deductibles, copayments, out-of-pocket expenses, and any care you may need in the coming year.

In the full Ask an Advisor video, Galo also covers prescription coverage, plan changes and how healthcare expenses fit within your retirement income plan.

💬 What is the difference between trading and investing?

Galo Baca, CFP®, Senior Financial Advisor at Goldstone Financial Group, breaks down the distinction.

Trading typically focuses on short-term price movements, while investing takes a long-term approach to building wealth. For younger investors, staying focused on the long term can give your money more time to grow and benefit from compounding.

Should you retire now or work a few more years?

Andrew Owen, Senior Advisor at Goldstone Financial Group, explains why the decision involves more than reaching a certain age or savings balance. It starts with understanding how much income your desired lifestyle may require, including living expenses, travel, hobbies, taxes, healthcare, and inflation.

In the full Ask an Advisor video, “Should You Retire Now or Work a Few More Years?”, Andrew also covers how Social Security, pensions, real estate income, and retirement assets can work together to help cover your income needs.

Q3 2026 was a quarter of sharp contrasts.

The S&P 500 gained 2.3%, but market leadership narrowed as small caps, mid caps, bonds and real estate came under pressure. Treasury yields climbed, the Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time since 2023, and renewed conflict in the Middle East pushed oil prices sharply higher.

As Q4 begins, the picture is shifting again. Cooler inflation and weaker hiring data have changed expectations for the Fed, while energy prices, interest rates and concentrated equity leadership remain important factors to watch.

In the latest Market Recap, Matthew Rice, CFA, CAIA, Chief Investment Officer at Goldstone Financial Group, examines what drove markets during the third quarter, what changed beneath the major indexes and the key developments he’s watching in the months ahead.
