    Roth Advice Gone Wrong and Mandatory Roth Catch-Up Contributions in 2026

    These days, we're hearing a lot about the many benefits of Roth accounts. However, they’re not the best choice for every investor. Host Robert Brokamp speaks with Megan Brinsfield, CFP, CPA, president of Motley Fool Wealth Management (a sister company of The Motley Fool), about when the advice to Roth goes wrong.

    Also in this episode:
    -The Fed lowers interest rates, sending value and small-cap stocks soaring
    -Request your required minimum distributions at least a few days before Dec. 31, including if you inherited a retirement account
    -Every year the Nasdaq 100 drops, it drops big
    -Starting next year, catch-up 401(k) contributions from higher-earning workers age 50 or older must go into a Roth account – who’s affected and how to prevent suboptimal consequences

    $70 billion and Chill

    $70 billion can get a lot… but in the case of Netflix, it can’t buy anything better than Warner Bros Discovery. Host Emily Flippen is joined by Jason Hall and Dan Caplinger to break down what it means for investors, streamers, and how to evaluate mega-mergers to determine when they’re accretive or dilutive.


    They cover:

    - What Netflix is actually buying - and why Warner Bros said “yes” to Netflix over Paramount and Comcast.

    - Whether or not this smart capital allocation or peak hubris on the part of Netflix

    - A framework for judging mega-mergers in your own portfolio and how to evaluate when they do (or don’t!) make sense


    Companies discussed: WBD, NFLX, DIS, PARA, CMCSA
