    Nov 18 2024
    On today’s show, co-host, producer, and new Uncle Jeff Lloyd joins Wes in the studio. They toss out the pumpkins, string up the holiday lights, and examine the abundance of recent market highs. For perspective, they chart market returns dating back to William McKinley in 1896. Next, they delve into the housing market and discover an eye-popping statistic. But, they point out that some good news may be on the horizon. Though lowering interest rates has not had the positive effects some had hoped for, a new administration sometimes brings different priorities. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Treasury is preparing to unleash roughly $700 billion from its general account (TGA) into the economy. This cash injection could possibly lead to lower treasury bond yields, which could potentially help to lower mortgage rates. Finally, Wes describes the details of a retirement life map a happy retiree recently showed him and how her willingness to daydream and plan with discipline helped her retire without regrets.

They talk about the difference between re-election and open-election years and their effects on the stock market.
