Sep 11, 2025

The markets are buzzing, the Fed is making moves, and power-hungry AI is changing the game. Welcome to this week’s conversation with Catherine Magaña, Steve Wolff, Vince Stefano, and Rachel Ivanovich.

We kick off by reflecting on the anniversary of 9/11 and how resilience shapes not only our nation but also our financial lives. From there, it’s all about market momentum: the Dow pushing higher, the Nasdaq and S&P adding gains, and interest rate cuts looming on the horizon. But is it 25 basis points… or 50?

We also unpack where Americans are really spending their money, think dining out, travel, and experiences and what that reveals about today’s economy. Plus, we dig into the massive energy demands driving AI innovation and why nuclear power might play a starring role in the future.

Rachel breaks down an IRS tool that makes pulling tax forms and payment history easier than ever, cutting down on mistakes and saving valuable time for taxpayers and advisors alike. Meanwhile, the team debates the return of IPOs and what renewed activity could mean for investors heading into year-end.
