The Secret to Consistent Investing and Your Financial Safety Net for Any Market
Are you tired of "FOMO Freddie" always bragging about his latest hot investment? Fiduciary financial advisor Wes Moss reveals why chasing market trends is a dangerous game and how sticking to your investment style is the key to long-term success. We'll dive into the perils of FOMO investing and show you what happens when you jump from one "best" strategy to the next. Also, Wes breaks down the critical concept of "dry powder" – what it is, why you need it, and how it acts as your ultimate financial buffer during market downturns. Learn about the different types of liquid safety assets that can protect your portfolio and give you peace of mind, no matter what the economy throws your way.
Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take. All this and more on the June 24, 2025, Ask an Advisor episode of the Clark Howard podcast. Submit your questions at clark.com/ask.
