The Stock Market is Up. Are You Actually Better Off?

Clint, Nate, and Mitch are in the booth this week to discuss the implications of a shocking new FT-Peterson poll. According to the data, 61% of Americans said that stock movements had little or no effect on their financial well being. Only 40% of those surveyed said the stock market has been going up in 2019, and 18% even said it decreased. (The S&P 500 has been hovering at record highs, and the index is up 26% this year.)
