Winans also discusses the debate over indexing capital gains for inflation, arguing that investors can end up being taxed on gains that aren't truly real after inflation.The conversation then turns to Las Vegas and Nevada's economic future. Winans and Schaefer argue that Las Vegas needs to diversify beyond tourism and entertainment, with the potential to become the “Wall Street of the West.” Financial services, technology, manufacturing and other industries could provide a second economic engine for the region.They also discuss California migration, water, infrastructure, a potential second airport, Brightline rail, and Nevada's business-friendly environment. Both see Las Vegas as a city that continually reinvents itself and believe the next decade could bring another major economic boom.The episode also takes a historical look at Las Vegas—from its mob-era roots to corporate ownership and today's rapidly evolving economy—before shifting into the importance of social media and modern marketing for businesses.=#WinningWithWinans #KenWinans #LasVegas #Nevada #WallStreetOfTheWest #Investing #InvestmentStrategy #StockMarket #FinancialMarkets #Economy #USDebt #CapitalGains #AIInvesting #PersonalFinance #WealthBuilding #RealEstate #Commodities #Cryptocurrency #LasVegasBusiness #NevadaEconomy #EconomicGrowth #FinancialServices #Business #Entrepreneurship #MarketOutlook #StockMarket2026 #LasVegasEconomy #VegasBusiness #MyVegas #MarkSchaeferThe information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice.
