Markets are on the move — but is the rally running out of steam or just getting started? In this week’s episode, Catherine, Greg, Steve, and Vince break down the latest market action, from small-cap swings to why tech keeps defying gravity. We unpack the Fed’s next moves on interest rates, the surprising impact of PPI and CPI numbers, and why mortgage applications are suddenly on the rise.
You’ll hear why dividend-paying stocks, diversification, and avoiding “FOMO” might be your best friends right now — plus, a spirited debate on whether the S&P can end the year up 12%, 15%, or even 20%. We also dive into a major change to 401(k) rules that could open the door to private equity, real estate, and even crypto in your retirement plan — and the potential pitfalls that come with it.
From tariffs to the Fear & Greed Index, Nvidia’s surprising China deal, and the looming “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” webinar, this episode packs insight, strategy, and a little bit of friendly market banter you won’t want to miss.
