Brian Akers and Jeff Akers, along with guest Mark Diorio from Brookstone Capital Management, discuss the impact of the recent election on the stock market and financial planning. Mark highlights that post-election, the market typically sees a rally, with cyclical sectors like energy and tech outperforming defensive sectors. He also notes the potential for continued interest rate reductions by the Fed, contingent on inflation and unemployment levels. Additionally, they cover the 2025 Medicare changes, including a $500 increase in 401(k) contribution limits and a new catch-up provision for those turning 60-63. They emphasize the importance of financial planning, including Medicare decisions and estate planning, to ensure a stress-free retirement.
