We're Living A Country Song

As Hank Williams Jr sang, "The interest is up, and the stock market's down.". In this Part 3 of a 3 part mini-series on current market conditions, Josh and Jay discuss the top of mind topic for most consumers right now, inflation. From home goods, construction materials, energy, groceries, transportation, fuel, gas, traveling, heck, even Chick-Fil-A, consumers are dealing with rising costs across a variety of goods and services. Some companies are combating that with what's called "shrink-flation" but even so, the inflation numbers being published are still at historic highs. The hosts discuss and explain how inflation is actually a measure of the rate of change and how core inflation is different from the overall inflation rate. They also discuss the similarities and differences to what America experienced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Lastly, the hosts discuss "momentum investing" and how that might be a potential tool for investors to participate in those industries that are doing well in this economy.

There’s an old investing saying: “Fortunes are made in bear markets and collected in a bull market”. In this episode, Josh and Jay discuss the difference between bear markets and bull markets, and why that matters to investors.

What role does your investing strategy play into how you feel about current stock market conditions? Tune into this episode, then jump back to Ep 55 where we discuss how a investor’s holdings and strategies may be affecting their emotions disproportionately, especially if they had pursued a “Fear of Missing Out” investing strategy.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

From “the next google” stocks, to penny stocks, [dot.com] (http://dot.com/) stocks, meme stocks, or even crypto, there’s typically both social pressure applied to investors to not miss out on the next big thing, but also their own internal feelings of not wanting to “miss” out. This “Fear of Missing Out” or FOMO as it’s referred to, typically builds as a bull market is extended and certain investments possibly grow faster than their underlying value would dictate. In this episode, Josh and Jay discuss both fear of missing out, and discuss the difference between “gambling” versus utilizing a diversified, purposely constructed diversified portfolio. The hosts even get to relieve a little bit of the [dot.com] (http://dot.com/) bubble, as both had just graduated college as that era was heating up. Been burned by the market recently?

Should I Trust This Stock Market?

Tune is to learn more about how technology and unprecedented government spending is having an impact on the equities markets, balancing that with the growing concern of inflation and the Delta variant of Covid.

Who Needs Estate Planning?

In the episode, Josh and Jay discuss Estate Planning and how it applies to a broader range of people than typically assumed. This episode discusses how anyone with assets technically has an estate, irrespective of age or asset value. An Estate Plan is used to manage assets in the event of a death or incapacitation, and can help clear up confusion and conflict with an inheritance. An Estate Plan has always been an important document, but recent legislative conversations around the Estate Tax Exception, estate tax rates, and the property being a “deemed” sale at death have reinforced the need to have a conversation with your team.
