  • No Matter Your Age, Start Medicare Planning Now
    Mar 21 2024

    Medicare is one of the toughest federal programs to navigate, a maze of confusing choices, odd deadlines, and potential penalties. Yet it's critically important for everyone, even if you're just starting out in your career, to understand it. On this episode, Susan Hirshman, director of wealth management at the Schwab Center for Financial Research and a Medicare expert, joins host Mike Townsend to help demystify Medicare for listeners. Noting that almost everyone pays into Medicare from their very first job, Hirshman discusses how Medicare needs to be part of your financial plan throughout your life—not just right before you turn 65. She shares insight on the key choices and deadlines in Medicare, how to determine which Medicare option is right for you, the importance of long-term care insurance and health savings accounts to supplement Medicare, and how to avoid common mistakes.

    Mike also shares his latest updates from Washington, including the president's new budget proposal, the recent vote in the House of Representatives that could lead to banning the popular social media app TikTok, and the court battle that has put a temporary stop to the SEC's controversial new climate risk disclosure rule.

  • Don't Bet Your Portfolio on Election Year Fears
    Mar 7 2024

    The presidential election and its impact on the markets loom large among investors' concerns. Mike Townsend tapped the resources of Schwab's Center for Financial Research to answer client questions, including the role of third-party candidates; what happens if either of the main candidates leaves the race; and how the markets, as well as individual sectors, typically perform in the run-up to the election and immediately afterward. Mike also looks at historical market correlations with election outcomes, explains why the Congressional elections may be more important to the markets than the presidential race, and offers key takeaways for how to keep emotions in check and approach this election season.

    In other Washington updates, Mike discusses the possibility of a government shutdown as the federal budget remains unfunded more than five months after the start of this fiscal year. He also looks at two bills that seem to be on hold, the $95 billion foreign aid bill and the tax bill that would expand the Child Tax Credit and extend some business tax breaks. And he offers an update on two rules approved by the SEC, one requiring public companies to offer more information to investors about risks they could encounter from climate change and another that brings more transparency to the equities-trading process.

  • Considering Bonds? What to Know Before You Buy
    Feb 22 2024
    Bonds can be intimidating. While many investors regard them as a necessary component of a balanced portfolio, that doesn't mean they have a good understanding of how they work. When U.S. bonds struggled to their worst performance ever in 2022, investors naturally were spooked. But in 2024 bonds offer attractive yields and can present opportunities to investors. In this episode, Mike is joined by Cooper Howard and Collin Martin, two fixed income strategists from the Schwab Center for Financial Research, to help investors gain a better understanding of the special language of bonds, the pros and cons of investing in bond funds versus individual bonds, and the important role of the Fed and the Treasury Department in the bond market. They also share perspective on what investors can expect from the bond market in 2024.Mike also checks in on what's happening in Washington, including the turmoil in Congress that is preventing any forward progress on multiple issues, how that paralysis could lead to a government shutdown in early March, the recent flip of a House seat, and ongoing resignations that will change the face of Congress.WashingtonWise is an original podcast for investors from Charles Schwab.
