Strategically Giving More to Charity and Less in Taxes

This week, Matt and John dive into charity giving statistics to uncover that a surprisingly small percentage of people's income goes to charity... They also explore various tax planning strategies to both help your retirement and help give more generously! We strongly believe in the power of giving and investing in the next generation.

Inflation is Down & the Russell 2000 is Up

Inflation has been a topic of discussion on the show for a long time but in this episode Matt, Lee, and John examine how drastic the difference between the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for ten people across the years... Luckily, this year is a tiny bit less than it was at the height of inflation, which was 2022.

Matt, Lee, and John also discuss the market's performance post-election and ask the question, "Did the Santa Claus rally come early?" Plus they look at years prior for how the market performed between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Matt points out that in the end we shouldn't make decisions based purely on what happened because you can't predict the future!

The Election is Over & Fed is Rate-Cutting! What Does This Mean?

The election is finally over! Matt, Lee, and John are relieved the election is over and they can talk about something else... but first, they do need to go over how these results could change the market and economy, and the Fed's recent news to cut interest rates once again.

A few key take-aways from the hosts are that the stock market cares about corporate profits, and since Trump has been a very pro-business President there may be assumptions and hopes for things that benefit businesses: lower taxes and deregulation for example.

Policies the Market Cares About (Taxes, Tariffs, Green Energy, and More!)

This election is super polarizing and one of the biggest questions Matt, Lee, and John receive as financial advisors is “How will this change the markets?” Luckily, historical data shows that whoever is in office, whether they’re Republican or Democrat, doesn’t make a huge difference... However, policy does matter. Policies like tax changes, tariffs, green energy and more can have a huge impact on the market and economy, and in different ways!

For example, if corporations find more favorable tax conditions abroad, they can move production overseas. Everything will look good for their company on the stock market (if profits remain) but the loss of jobs would impact on the economy. Another big issue is government spending, which seems to be an issue neither party will tackle! It could become an issue for us in the next 5-10 years because it is out of control.

Remember – don’t let emotions guide your investing decisions, but your voice and vote DO MATTER!

Election, Bears, Bulls, and Uncertainty

The biggest question Matt, Lee, and John receive is how this year's big election will impact the market. In this episode, they break down some data behind election years and the market's performance, both leading up to November 5th and for the rest of the year.

They also discuss how small-caps perform during this time. This leads them into a discussion about bear and bull markets. When does a bear market start or end? How are they defined? And looking at these market cycles is a good reminder that things do not go in a straight line - there are plenty of ups and downs over the years!

Lastly, a recent Goldman Sachs report predicted:
1️⃣ The SP500 will only return a nominal 3% annually in the next 10 years.
2️⃣ It has roughly a 72% probability of trailing bonds and a 33% likelihood of lagging inflation through 2034.
3️⃣ The market will broaden out, with the equal weight SP500 outperforms the cap weighted SP500 by 2-8% annually.

But predictions don't really matter, or do they? What do you think? Overall, there is a growing sense of uncertainty as we approach the 2024 election and what the next 10 years might look like... but that's no reason to panic or be scared!

Fed Rate Cuts Aftermath & Inflation Numbers

Navigating an Uncertain Market (Are You a Bear or a Bull?)

Today on Tuesday, October 1st, the news broke that strikes are taking place along the East and Gulf Coast... and these strikes could cost billions, undoubtedly impacting the economy, the market, and of course--you, the average consumer. It looks like food prices and car parts are going to be most impacted.

There is also an upcoming, heated, polarizing election on the horizon. As Lee says, "there's a lot of noise" taking place in this next quarter... so Matt begs the question: how do you stay bullish? How do you stay in the market when there's so much uncertainty? John leans on his experience from 2007-2008 and the three of them offer their insights as financial advisors.

Will We Have a Soft Landing?

The Fed recently lowered interest rates but what does this mean for the market and our economy? Does this mean we're in for a "soft landing" as they say? Or, could things keep getting worse? Matt, John, and Lee discuss a variety of factors impacting our markets and the American consumer... such as the wars overseas, the US debt crisis, and much more. There's a lot to watch out for -- not because of fear or panic, but because it's important to be an informed investor!

Why Tax Planning Matters

The Fed is thinking about cutting rates but Lee feels like rates don't need to come down as much as people think... Amazon is putting Walgreens and CVS out of business, telling people to come back into the office (among other businesses), and the main topic of today's episode: tax planning. Matt stresses how important it is for your financial future to think about tax planning!

5% Mortgages on the Horizon?

Are 5% mortgages on the horizon? Sure, it's not as fantastic as the 2%-3% we saw during the pandemic but it is MUCH BETTER than 6%, 7%, or 8%! With a 5% mortgage, more people may be willing to sell their current homes because their new home purchase won't be as steep. Plus, if more people put their homes on the market, this opens the supply which we desperately need and can help lower costs...

 

Eli, Matt, and John also talk about the broadening of the market. They called it a #smallcapsummer a few weeks ago and now its looking like a #smallcapfall which could mean a healthier market! Yes, the Magnificent 7 are taking a hit, but you can (and should) only be at the top for so long...

 

Lastly, the guys touched on how the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris may shake things in the market. The debate is happening tonight (09/10) and maybe next week we'll cover how or if it changed the market...

Harris Proposes Taxing Unrealized Capital Gains and More...

Things get heated in today's episode as Matt, Lee, and John discuss the Harris' tax proposal she's campaigning with... Vice President Kamala Harris proposes higher income taxes, corporate taxes, capital gains, and taxing unrealized capital gains as well... and all of this tax-talk has the guys asking "Are we being taxed into oblivion?"

As John points out, we're being taxed on the money we make, the money we spend, the money we give away, and even the money we leave behind after we die, and all other kinds of taxes in-between... And Lee points out an economic model which shows at what point a tax burden overexceeds the revenue it would bring in.

Other than taxes, they talk about the state of interest rates impacting CDs, money markets, and other cash-holding options, and they're looking forward to college football season! There was a lot to talk about!

Would 40 Year Mortgages Fix the Problem?

CNBC just published an Op-Ed titled, "The case for a 40-year mortgage" written by John Hope Bryant. The op-ed argues for introducing 40-year mortgages to help combat the struggle average Americans are facing with purchasing their first home. Between high interest rates, low inventory, and a struggling economy where wages are not keeping up with the cost of living, this is a proposed solution. But would it do more harm than good?

 

Matt, Eli, and Lee also talk about Kamala Harris' plan to raise the corporate tax rate if elected, something which Eli points out as rather pointless and primarily political. They also cover the recent stock market trends.

What's Working & What's Not in the Market

People are talking about The Fed and whether or not they'll cut rates this year (look at us, we're even talking about it!) but that isn't the easy solution to fixing our economy or even helping the stock market... that's just not how it works. There are tons of other factors involved and the stock market really cares about companies' profits and losses.... While interest rates do matter, it's only a piece of the story, and the Fed may be taking way too much credit for how our economy is running. But what do you think?

 

This week's Market Moment is hosted by Matt Walters, Lee Mackey, and John Martfeld who share their opinions as financial advisors.
