Wes Moss, Chief Investment Strategist at Capital Investment Advisors (CIA) hosts Money Matters, the country’s longest running live call-in, investment and personal finance radio show.
On today’s episode of Money Matters, Capital Investment Advisor’s Chief Investment Officer Connor Miller joins Wes to look at how the presidential election looks to have been primarily determined by inflation’s painful and lasting effect on voters. They look at how markets have reacted, including a “certainty pop,” with US stocks adding $1.62 trillion the following day. They discuss what this election might mean for the future of interest rates, debts, deficits, and investing. They zoom in on specific market sectors that could be impacted the most and how it all might affect retirees who are planning for the future.
On this episode of Money Matters, Co-host and Producer Jeff Lloyd joins Wes to discuss election indicators, market predictions, advances in stem cell research, and the impact of daylight savings and inflation on everyday life. They review predictive tools like S&P 500 performance, the Misery Index, and the rising popularity of betting markets. They examine the historical resilience of the U.S. stock market, noting how changing political environments don’t necessarily impact long-term market growth. Finally, they point out that time in the market is typically more beneficial than attempting to time the market.
Warren Buffett once said, “If a statue is ever erected to honor the person who has done the most for American investors, the hands-down choice should be Jack Bogle.” In hour 1 of today’s episode of Money Matters, Wes explains why John “Jack” Bogle’s lessons continue to light the path toward a financially secure and happy retirement. In hour 2, Money Matters Co-host and Producer Jeff Lloyd joins Wes. They get into the economics of Halloween spending vs. holiday spending. They analyze the misery index and where it currently stands. They talk about the housing log jam, existing home sales, and how interest rates contribute to those outcomes. They discuss the unemployment rate and what it means for job-seekers and employers. They reflect on the hot stock market finally having some down days. They examine how different election outcomes have influenced the market. Finally, they delve into a Harvard Business Review article about a decade-long retiree study.
