Episode notes

Markets hit all-time highs while major stocks crashed. Bitcoin dropped nearly 50%. And clients are asking a big question: where should I actually withdraw money from in retirement?

Adam and Andy break down the bizarre market rotation where the S&P 500 sits less than 1% from all-time highs while Netflix, Coinbase, and Adobe are down 40-60%. They explain why this is healthy, whether the shift from growth to value has staying power, and what AI as a headwind (instead of tailwind) means for software stocks.

Then they discuss the withdrawal order puzzle. Should you pull from taxable accounts first, or IRAs to limit RMDs, or Roth because you hate taxes? The answer depends entirely on when you retire, how your assets are distributed across account types, and what flexibility you want to preserve.
