Being Thankful For Market Productivity

Wes is joined in the studio by co-host and Producer Jeff Lloyd on today’s episode of Money Matters. Compiling a list of what the Retire Sooner Team is thankful for this year, they mention the myriad of S&P 500 all-time highs. Then, they show gratitude for a less top-heavy market, as equity earnings have spread beyond the Magnificent Seven into small- and mid-cap stocks. They reflect on anxiety relief coming on the heels of a tense election. They identify the positive effects of lower inflation, less volatility, and a healthy unemployment rate and are hopeful for an extended trend toward mortgage-friendly interest rates. Finally, they give thanks for the collective Army of American productivity and the way it drives not only growth, innovation, and net income but also significant dividends that can make an impact on protecting purchasing power over time and in retirement.
