The Get Ready For The Future Show

What if spending too little in early retirement is the real mistake? 👀 This week, four listeners asked the questions most people are afraid to bring up: ✅ Is spending more while you're healthy reckless — or just good planning? ✅ My spouse won't meet with a financial advisor. How do I bring her on board? ✅ I'm 66, just widowed, and my husband handled all the finances. Where do I begin? ✅ We want to move into a retirement community early. How do we run the real numbers? If any of these sound familiar, this one's for you. 📩 Submit your question: [email protected] #retirementplanning #financialadvisor #personalfinance #investing Originally Aired: 2026.05.16

In this week’s episode of The Get Ready For The Future Show, we tackle a pressing question: Is the stock market on the brink of a dot-com-level crash? Join me, Scott Inman, as I compare the current AI boom to the explosive growth of the internet in the 1990s. We’ll delve into the similarities and differences between these two tech revolutions and what they mean for investors today. Drawing insights from LPL Research, I’ll highlight key factors like stronger leadership, grounded valuations, and rational IPOs that differentiate the AI landscape from the past. While volatility is expected, I’ll explain why we believe this bull market still has significant momentum. Tune in to gain clarity on the future of technology investments and how to navigate these turbulent waters.

Oil prices are down — so why is the physical market telling a completely different story? 🛢️ Since mid-March, actual barrel prices have been running significantly higher than futures prices. The Strait of Hormuz has seen barely 1.5 days of normal oil flow since March 1st. Japanese refiners started buying U.S. crude. Chinese buyers drove Vancouver shipments to record highs. Indian refiners grabbed whatever Venezuelan crude they could find. When sophisticated traders stop negotiating on price and just need barrels — that's not a Wall Street story. That's a supply crisis. Plus: the "death of the petrodollar" headlines are everywhere right now. We slow down and look at what the data actually says — and it's not what the headlines suggest. Georgia Stuart breaks it all down in under 4 minutes.
