This week on the For Investors Podcast, we covered a LOT — and the markets definitely kept things interesting.

Volatility made a big return, with huge swings driven by earnings surprises, shifting interest-rate expectations, and the ever-mysterious bond market. And yes… AI had its moments too.

We also dug into why these quick market moves can feel so dramatic, even though they don’t always mean investors should change course. The real triggers for rethinking a long-term plan are the big life events — the “D’s” like death, disability, divorce, diagnosis — along with positive surprises like windfalls, births, or major transitions. Those are the moments when a financial plan deserves a fresh look.

And with Thanksgiving week approaching and the holidays on the horizon, many people naturally start reflecting on their goals, families, and the financial decisions they want to feel confident about going into the new year.
