Is market volatility a threat or an opportunity for your retirement income? On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, James Dupree and Mike Johnson talk through the recent swings: a sell-off in AI-related tech stocks, telecom stocks rattled by SpaceX's push into wireless, and fast moves in Treasury yields. They explain headline risk, why AI stocks often rise and fall together even when their fundamentals differ, and why knowing what you own matters. For patient, income-focused investors, they say volatility can create opportunities. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

Is the AI build-out overbuilt? This week's tech stock rotation moved money out of technology and into retailers, banks, insurers, REITs and makers of everyday goods. On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson and Michael Dawahare discuss what drove the shift, how AI data center debt (including CoreWeave's bonds) played a part, why a 5% Treasury yield is more normal than it feels, and what it all means for retirement income. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

Rising bond yields, diesel above $6 a gallon, a better-than-feared jobs report and a Nike dividend promise. On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, host Tom Dupree and analysts James Dupree and Michael Dawahare explain what is moving the market in early October 2026 and what it can mean for retirees and anyone over 50 who relies on a portfolio for income. Topics include the 30-year and 10-year Treasury yields, how bond prices respond to rising yields, and the link between bond and oil markets. All investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, oil and diesel prices are still climbing, and the stock market has been choppy. What does that mean if you are living on retirement income or getting close? On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Michael Dawahare, Mike Johnson and James Dupree cover the Fed's move and the bond market's reaction, oil and inflation, stock market volatility and AI stocks, the yen carry trade in plain English, and how Dupree Financial Group approaches dividend income. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

A strong jobs report, oil prices climbing, and inflation data that still rattled the market. On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson and Michael Dawahare explain why headlines like these don't have to derail a retirement income plan. They cover sequence-of-returns risk, why averages stop mattering once you start drawing income, why a 401(k) of index funds wasn't built to pay a paycheck, and the role of dividend income and knowing what you own. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

When should you start Social Security? Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson say there is no single right age: it depends on your health, marital status, other assets and how much of your monthly income Social Security needs to cover. On this episode of The Tom Dupree Show they walk through a claiming-age framework, breakeven math, spousal and survivor considerations, and how a dividend-and-growth income portfolio can fit around the decision. They also discuss the "forgotten investor": people in their 40s and 50s whose portfolios have grown large enough that market swings move real money.

On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson and Michael Dawahare discuss Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's interview with Jim Cramer and his argument that AI chips are becoming a revenue-generating financial asset, why Dick's Sporting Goods cut its earnings forecast just 90 days after raising it, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole remarks on inflation and interest rates heading into September.

On August 17 and 18, 2026, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed above 5.3%, its highest level since 2007. On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson and Michael Dawahare explain why that matters, what the Treasury is doing about it (including an expanded bond buyback program), and what it means for anyone retired or approaching retirement and living off a portfolio. They also discuss the economy's "K-shaped" versus "G-shaped" split. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

Should retirees worry about the $500 billion AI data center financing boom? Wall Street is exploring asset-backed securities, bonds backed by a pool of assets like auto loans, to help finance AI data centers. On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, the team explains what that structure is, what "NeoCloud" companies such as CoreWeave and Nebius Group do, and why Dupree Financial Group takes a measured, not alarmed, view: understand exactly what backs an investment before it belongs in a retirement portfolio. Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400.

Is this AI rally built to last? On this week's Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, James Dupree and Michael Dawahare look at what is driving the market: the reshoring of U.S. manufacturing, the AI infrastructure build-out, older industrial companies getting a second wind, and a leveraged AI hedge fund that lost 78% of its value in three weeks. They discuss Gold Rush and dot-com parallels, why diversification matters in a fast-moving sector, and where the firm sees value now. A real trend and a sure thing are two different things.
