Feelings vs. Facts

Feelings vs. Facts – As a follow up to a recent discussion about how the majority of Americans feel as if the economy is in a recession and the financial markets are struggling, Brian Regan joins Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry to talk about how the emotions/feelings of many clients do not match the data. Chris proposes a theory that much of this disconnect is related to how inflation has put pressure on household budgets. Jeff weights in that the presidential election, increasing national debt, and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine add to investor concerns. Brian brings in a variety of data points which demonstrates that the feelings of investors are not correlated with the strength of the US economy or the financial markets. At the end of the episode Jeff and Chris discuss the growing trend of investors considering Roth IRA conversions.
