The Fed Raised Rates and I Say Good: Why Taking the Medicine Is the Right Call

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 17, 2026Commentary

Everyone on financial TV had an opinion about the Fed’s quarter-point hike, and most of those opinions were wrong. I’ve been saying for a long time that we need to take the medicine, and here’s exactly why I stand by that.

Can America Grow Its Way Out of 40 Trillion Dollars in Debt? Let’s Do the Math

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 17, 2026Commentary

The Treasury Secretary says 3% GDP growth will save us from a $40 trillion debt crisis. I ran the numbers, and the math tells a very different story.

The Car-Buying Hack That Saves You Thousands at the Dealership

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 17, 2026Commentary

Auto dealerships are not just car sellers. They are financial institutions that make serious money off your loan, and most buyers walk in completely blind to that fact.

The Bond Market Circus: What the 10-Year Yield Is Really Telling You

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 16, 2026Commentary

The financial media is spinning the bond market into a panic narrative, and most of it is nonsense. I want to break down what the bond market is actually supposed to do and why rising yields might not be the disaster the pundits are selling you.

The AI Debate Is More Complicated Than the Headlines Want You to Believe

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 16, 2026Commentary

Everyone wants to put you in a camp on AI: either you’re all-in or you want to slam the brakes. I’m here to tell you that kind of binary thinking is exactly how everyday Americans get hurt.

Good Money vs. Bad Money: What the Toys R Us Collapse Reveals About Private Equity

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 16, 2026Commentary

Not all money is created equal, and the collapse of Toys R Us is a perfect case study in what happens when bad money infects a healthy business. I have been saying this for over two decades, and the private equity playbook has not changed.

How Governments Use Your Money, Your Healthcare, and Your Kids to Keep You Dependent

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 12, 2026Commentary

After 26 years on air, I’ve watched both parties inch this country closer to a system where the government controls more of your life, your money, and your choices. The playbook isn’t new, but most people still don’t recognize it when they see it.

Why the Tax Code Is the Real Wealth Gap Villain (And What Nobody Wants to Admit)

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 12, 2026Commentary

I wrote back in 2008 that we needed to shoot the tax code into the sun, and I meant every word of it. The tax code is not a neutral system. It is a weapon, and it is aimed directly at people who work for a living.

Two Sets of Tax Rules: One for Big Corporations, One for Everyone Else

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 12, 2026Commentary

If you think the tax code treats every business equally, I have a bridge to sell you. The same politicians who lecture us about fairness are quietly handing billion-dollar tax breaks to corporations while your local accountant or restaurant owner pays full freight.

Why Arrogant Money Managers Are the Biggest Threat to Your Portfolio

Compass Financial ManagementSeptember 12, 2026Commentary

After 30 years in this business, I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty: the loudest voices in the room are almost always the worst portfolio managers. If someone is bragging about their performance, your money is in danger.
