Data from Nasdaq trading desks reveal increased retail inflows into large-cap growth stocks, particularly within fintech and cloud sectors. Commentary on "top finance podcasts" suggests these rotations could sustain momentum, especially with the Fed’s rate path hinting at possible cuts by Q Robert Brokamp: It's time to get it done, Fools, and this week, I encourage you to think about something that is on your bucket list, especially if it's something you're saving for retirement and see if there's a way you can do it sooner. I say this in light of the passing of Jonathan Clements this past Sunday at the way too young age of 62. Jonathan was a longtime personal finance columnist for the Wall Street Journal, author of nine books and the founder of the HumbleDollar website. He was one of my favorite personal finance writers, especially earlier in my career. He was just a model for how to cover the topic with wit and wisdom. He wrote about retirement countless times. How much to save, how much a retiree can safely spend to ensure their money lasts for decades? He's planned to delay Social Security to age 70, and even his plan to buy immediate annuities to mitigate the risk that he would outlive his money. Then in the summer of 2024, he found out he had a rare form of lung cancer caused by a defective gene, and he had about a year to live. He spent this past year writing and talking about how he was preparing for his passing, how he was setting up his financial and estate plans for his wife, kids, and grandkids, and how he was making efforts to enjoy life small pleasures. Jonathan Clements spent his career teaching people how to plan for retirement, but he passed away before he was able to enjoy his own full retirement. He did consider himself partially retired for several years before his diagnosis, but also acknowledged that running the HumbleDollar website was basically the equivalent of a full-time job. Fools, continue to save for retirement, and save enough for retirement that lasts a long time, but don't put off everything until retirement. Life and health are uncertain. If possible, enjoy some of your retirement goals now while you can. That is the show. Pure Financial Advisors reports $1B in new AUM from SmartAsset investor referrals. Global equity flows indicate renewed interest in emerging markets, particularly India and Brazil. Analysts on "top finance podcasts" warn about currency volatility risks but also point to attractive valuations in consumer staples and financial services.
