The markets are moving, and we’ve got plenty to unpack! In this week’s episode of WWM Talks, Steve Wolff, Greg Carrol and Vince Stefano break down the latest numbers: the S&P 500 up 1.6%, the Nasdaq up 2%, and the Dow showing steady gains. But what’s really catching our eye? The small caps, the Fed’s latest rate cut, and what it all means for your portfolio
We dive into why lower interest rates could give small companies a much-needed boost, what Jerome Powell did (and didn’t) say about inflation and tariffs, and how investor psychology is showing up in the Fear & Greed Index. Are investors playing with fire by chasing risk and piling into the same handful of tech stocks?
Plus, we clear up common misconceptions about dividends, explain why “knowing what you own” in ETFs and funds is more important than ever, and debate whether quarterly earnings reports are helping or hurting investors
It’s a fast-moving, entertaining conversation packed with insights to help you think long-term, avoid groupthink, and keep your money working smarter.
