Will Surging Oil Prices Crash the Market?

from Retirement Starts Today

How do higher oil prices impact stock market returns? Ben Carlson at A Wealth of Common Sense challenges the assumption most people have, but with some genuinely surprising and con historical data. For those who retired right around 2022, our Listener Questions segment might interest you. A listener is comparing bonds to guaranteed products like MYGAs and annuities with income riders. They're seeing five and a half to six percent guaranteed payouts and wondering: are these actually better than bonds for generating retirement income? Then we wrap it up with our Retire "To" Something Segment: A listener who is only 2-5 years away from retiring wrote in with their very simple philosophy: "Never run away from a job. Instead, seek out the next better opportunity."   Resource: Article by Ben Carlson: How Do Higher Oil Prices Impact Stock Market Returns?
