Steve and Adam Van Wie are Certified Financial Planners™ in Jacksonville Beach, FL who operate the independent, fee-only RIA firm, Strivus Wealth Partners. Steve and Adam have more than 20 years of experience in the financial planning field, and over 50 years of combined business experience. Every Saturday they do a live, call-in radio show on WBOB AM 600 and FM 101.1 in the Jacksonville, FL market called the Van Wie Financial Hour. Call the show between 10 and 11 AM ET at 904.222.8255 to get your questions answered!
Adam and Steve swap market stats, economic insights, and lighthearted banter about everything from AI stocks and oil prices to chipmakers and car prices. Between a trivia question about Colonel Sanders’ fortune, a deep dive into sector rotation and interest rates, and a confused caller asking who really makes computer chips.
Two seasoned financial advisors dive into a volatile week on Wall Street, unpacking the AI shakeup in chip stocks, bond market stress, and what rising oil and inflation mean for investors and retirees. Along the way, they field a listener call, explain complex topics like corporate debt and CoreWeave’s troubles in plain English, and mix in real-world touches from bank branch closures to Social Security and Medicare pressures.
Steven and Adam kick off a rainy Saturday with a punchy rundown of a bizarre, uneasy stock market that’s hitting new highs despite ominous signals from interest rates, oil, and bank stocks. They weave through big-picture economic contradictions—strong jobs, rising real wages, shaky housing, media distortion—and then pivot into lively debates on topics like shuttered bank branches, coddling college students, paying stay‑at‑home parents, Medicare rebates, and smart year‑end tax moves like QCDs, all while taking calls and bantering about the Jaguars.
Two financial advisors host a lively radio show dissecting a “quiet on the surface, turbulent underneath” market—covering stocks near record highs, surging bond yields, stubborn housing pressures, and a cooling-but-still-healthy jobs picture. They weave in sharp opinions on Iran, Fed policy, Social Security reform, Trump-era financial initiatives, and AI regulation, mixing data-heavy analysis with political edge. Between market trivia, personal anecdotes, and practical tips on things like home-title fraud, the hour feels like a fast-moving tour through money, policy, and everyday financial risks.
Three hosts of the Van Wie Financial Hour kick off a crisp Florida Saturday trading stories about the weather, football, and jogging before diving into a bumpy-but-positive week on Wall Street, driven by oil price swings and surging interest rates. They unpack surprisingly strong economic data—low jobless claims, rising manufacturing, robust consumer spending—and riff on AI’s real impact on growth, housing in San Francisco, and the way gaming skills now steer drones and air traffic. Along the way, they field trivia guesses about the best-performing S&P 500 stock (revealed as Home Depot), and vent about steep hikes in Medicare drug-plan costs, urging listeners to scrutinize their Annual Notice of Changes.
Steve and Joey kick off a lively Saturday show by unpacking a volatile week in markets—rising interest rates, stubborn energy prices, and narrowing stock market breadth—while arguing the economy is stronger than the gloomy headlines suggest. They dive into the “AI is an existential threat” narrative, blasting it as fear-driven and partly a play for regulatory capture, and counter with callers’ perspectives on AI as a new frontier of opportunity and innovation. Woven through are sharp jabs at government overreach, worries about oil and diesel prices, and practical reminders for investors to stay the course through midterm-election season volatility.
Three seasoned financial pros trade rapid-fire insights on a volatile September market, explaining how inflation, oil prices, and interest rates are wrestling with strong earnings in a “Terminator” economy that just won’t quit. They zigzag from 9/11 memories and long-term stock market growth to the looming crisis of an aging population, the “sandwich generation,” and why too many retirees aren’t financially prepared. Callers jump in with personal stories and trivia guesses as the hosts mix hard numbers, history lessons, and practical tips into an hour that’s equal parts market update, economic reality check, and financial storytelling.
Adam, Joey & Steve banter their way through a Labor Day weekend show, mixing Florida weather jokes with a detailed but lively rundown of markets, interest rates, jobs data, and investor expectations. Callers jump in with real-world questions about lawsuit protection, umbrella insurance, and how the Fed’s rate decisions affect small business owners, sparking clear, practical explanations. The hosts wrap things in stories—like car makers’ massive EV write-downs, Trump accounts for kids, and Tim Cook adding $32 million an hour to Apple’s value—turning economics into an energetic, fast-paced conversation.
Adam and Steve host a lively radio hour, bouncing between market moves, Fed policy rants, oil and housing, and the runaway national debt while bantering with callers. They unpack inflation data, interest-rate risks, rollovers vs. transfers, and even the cost of gas over generations, all in plain English. The result feels like sitting at a kitchen table with two pros who mix hard numbers, strong opinions, and everyday analogies to make economics feel real.
On this Van Wie Financial Hour, Steve and Adam riff through a choppy August market: energy is soaring, value stocks are waking up, Nvidia and biotech are stealing headlines, and Bitcoin’s wild spike leaves even them shrugging. They take calls on everything from State Farm’s surprise auto “dividend” checks to how teens don’t know what a FICO score is, weaving in trivia and sharp commentary about media-driven pessimism versus strong manufacturing data. In the final act, they walk a listener step‑by‑step through rolling a qualified pension into an IRA and handling Roth conversions, turning complex tax traps into plain-English guidance.
