The NEGATIVE IMPACT of Trump’s Economic Policy. HOME BUYERS BEWARE. Let’s follow the rules of Economics101: FIRST: Lower Taxes = More Money for Individuals to Spend = Higher Inflation THEN… Higher Inflation = Higher Mortgage Rates Everyone wants lower taxes, but the reality is, that may very well lead to inflation, and thus higher mortgage rates for home buyers. That’s the First of the Home Buyer Double Whammy… SECOND: Homes are largely built with low-cost immigrant labor (30%+ of construction workers are immigrants). If we cut down on immigration, we’re going to need to fill those roles with U.S. born workers, which demand higher wages. Higher Wages = Higher Costs. Like I said in the video, I’M NOT A HATER, my prior video was on the POSITIVES of Trump’s economic policies. But if I’m asked about the negative… It’s inflationary and may be troublesome to HOME BUYERS. #politics #economics #finance #homebuyers #mortgagerates #realestate #realtors #investing #investor

Trump Won, which was not a surprise… But the decisive nature of his win, shocked most political pundits. To be clear, campaign promises are far from enacted policy. BUT, the market is certainly getting behind Trump’s pro, pro U.S., policy. LOWER TAXES LOWER REGULATION TARIFFS It’s not perfect. BUT THE MARKET IS LOVING IT TODAY. Hit the follow for further commentary on the pros and cons of the new economic policy. #politics #economics #finance #stocks #stockmarket #investing #investor

The U.S. Gov’t Debt Situation… This is the lurking black cloud THAT EVERYONE KNOWS EXISTS. But it has not become an issue yet, and no one knows when it will. That said, the numbers described in the video are accurate- so how do you feel about the situation? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, how do you feel about the TRAJECTORY of the situation- it just keeps spiraling in the wrong direction. I need to balance a budget, YOU need to balance a budget, BUT the government doesn’t, because they have a ‘printing press…’ What happens when the plug gets pulled on the printing press?! #usdebt #debt #governmentdebt #finance #investing #treasury #bonds #treasurybonds

Bitcoin and a Trump Victory- attached at the hip… Elections are a time that create interesting investing behavior- people completely abandon their plan and let emotions take the wheel. Not great for investing results. Is that what’s happening with Bitcoin? Or is there something more to this rally than a bet on Trump? And, what are the tangible plans by Trump that support higher Bitcoin prices!? Let me know. 👇 #bitcoin #trump #election #finance #crypto #investing

October Jobs… WOOF 🤢 We knew it was going to be bad, but this was worse than expectations. THE TRILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: Does this show some underlying softness in the broad labor market? Or… Did forecasters just underestimate the impact of the hurricanes and Boeing strike!? Let me know your thoughts. 👇 #jobs #finance #economics #stocks #investing #thefed #interestrates

HUGE WEEK FOR TECH STOCKS- 5 of Mag 7 Report Earnings. Nvidia does NOT, but it could absolutely be the biggest mover. BECAUSE it’s a highflier (understatement of the year), and it’s largest customers are going to tell you how much their spending on ‘hyperscaling’- aka Nvidia Chips. I don’t care what Tech stock you own, you’d better have your POPCORN READY this week! Let me know what you think Nvidia does on all these companies comments! #techstocks #sp500 #nasdaq #tech #nvda #finance #trader #trading #stocktrader #investor #investing #magnificent7 #investment #personalfinance #cfp #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments

Goldman Sachs just released a report projecting just 3%/year return for S&P 500 over the next 10 years… They also project bonds to outperform stocks over the next decade- with 72% probability. AND YES, bonds historically carry a fraction of the risk of stocks (using the widely accepted risk metric, standard deviation). 2 stated headwinds against stocks returns moving forward: Valuations- their favorite valuation metric is the CAPE ratio- which has only been more expensive 3% of the time throughout history. Concentration Risk- they believe the stocks that have dominated recently (ahem, MAG 7), cannot continue to have the sales growth and unbelievable margins they’ve experienced. AKA- they think competition is coming. Goldman doesn’t have a crystal ball, but they’re also not stupid, and they have no vested interest in poo-poo-ing stocks… TAKEAWAY: if you’re not owning BONDS, PLEASE MAKE SURE THERE’S A GOOD REASON- because they’re projecting a 72% likelihood they outperform S&P 500, AND they historically have a fraction of the risk. Disclosure: past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And, there’s nothing to say that Goldman Sachs’ outlook comes to fruition. #goldman #goldmansachs #fisherinvestments #finance #personalfinance #investing #investor #sp500 #stocks #stockmarket #bonds #cfp #cima #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments

The STRENGTH of the U.S. Dollar caused the Federal Reserve’s SUPER SIZED INTEREST RATE CUT in September. WHAT?!?! It certainly doesn’t feel like we’ve seen the dollar strengthen… “Well, why doesn’t my dollar buy me as much?!” I get it. But the reality is, the U.S. Dollar has pretty much done nothing but go up in value against foreign currencies for the past 15 years. Sounds great! BUT, it makes our goods more expensive. It makes foreign buyers less able to buy them. It puts more stress on foreign economies (which are already weaker than the U.S. economy). It puts more stress on U.S. economy. As a result of the above, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates—in SUPERSIZED FORM—last month in September. Let me guess- you haven’t heard this take from anyone else on social media- I’M SHOCKED. Follow me to get smarted financially, EVERY SINGEL DAY. #finance #investing #investor #thefed #federalreserve #cfp #cima #marketanalysis #interestrates #dollar #foreigncurrency #inflation #economics #economy #personalfinance #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments
