Markets on the Move: Fed Cuts, Inflation, and What’s Next for Investors

Sep 11, 2025

The markets are buzzing, the Fed is making moves, and power-hungry AI is changing the game. Welcome to this week’s conversation with Catherine Magaña, Steve Wolff, Vince Stefano, and Rachel Ivanovich.

We kick off by reflecting on the anniversary of 9/11 and how resilience shapes not only our nation but also our financial lives. From there, it’s all about market momentum: the Dow pushing higher, the Nasdaq and S&P adding gains, and interest rate cuts looming on the horizon. But is it 25 basis points… or 50?

We also unpack where Americans are really spending their money, think dining out, travel, and experiences and what that reveals about today’s economy. Plus, we dig into the massive energy demands driving AI innovation and why nuclear power might play a starring role in the future.

Rachel breaks down an IRS tool that makes pulling tax forms and payment history easier than ever, cutting down on mistakes and saving valuable time for taxpayers and advisors alike. Meanwhile, the team debates the return of IPOs and what renewed activity could mean for investors heading into year-end.

It’s a lively mix of market updates, smart strategies, and a few laughs along the way, tune in and stay ahead of the curve.

September Market Outlook: What Investors Need to know

Aug 27, 2025

Markets are restless, investors are cautious, and September is right around the corner—a month that’s often a troublemaker for stocks. In this week’s episode, Rachel, Vince, and Greg break down what’s really happening behind the recent market slowdown.

We break down the latest earnings from retail giants, the surprising weakness in small-cap stocks, and why mega-cap names continue to dominate the spotlight. Plus, it’s back-to-school season, which means more than backpacks and notebooks—it’s also the perfect time to teach kids (and grandkids) money lessons that stick.

You’ll also hear a deep dive into the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and what its new senior tax deduction really means for retirees.

Spoiler: Social Security isn’t magically tax-free, but there are strategies—like charitable giving and Roth conversions—that can make a big difference.

Finally, we look ahead to September, historically one of the weakest months for markets, and why short-term dips might actually be the best buying opportunities of the year.

🎧 Tune in now for market insights, tax tips, and financial strategies you don’t want to miss.
