Everyone wants to get advice or guidance when it comes to investing, and a recent Wall Street Journal article featured ten different experts’ predictions for 2025. It made for an interesting read and provided some interesting discussion for this month’s podcast. Today we’ll take a look at a variety of strategies in play for 2025—from focusing on large-cap growth stocks and diversifying beyond the “magnificent seven” tech giants to some experts advocating a complete shift to bonds.
Beyond investment strategies, we also want to spend a little time sharing practical financial planning tips for the new year, including setting clear financial goals, optimizing retirement contributions like 401(k)s and Roth 401(k)s, and essential considerations when relocating.
We hope you enjoy this look ahead to the new year. If there’s anything you want to focus on and improve, please get in touch and let’s talk about ways we can help.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- Be wary of what you see from articles trying to predict the future when it comes to finance.
- Should you expect additional volatility this year?
- Things to consider when thinking about moving or relocating.
- Why snowbirds need to be considering some similar things to folks that are permanently moving.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
