Tandem Talk, Episode 16: Patience—the Watch Word of 2024

We’re back with our 16th episode of Tandem Talk! If you have been with us from the beginning, that’s 4-years of Tandem Talk – thank you for following along. In this episode, we dive into recent earnings growth, share price volatility, trusting your news source, and the numbers making up the markets; think GDP growth, CPI, interest rates, and consumer sentiment numbers. We touch on the recent price increases by companies post-pandemic (goodbye dollar menu!), the threat of stagflation, and a lot of noise from the Fed. With different reports saying different things – who do you believe? We close out the episode with the topic of short-termism. What’s the market doing today? This week? This quarter? What really matters? Compounding your earnings and having the patience to do so!
