Mach 1 Market Moment Podcast: Recent Episodes

Mach 1 Financial Group

Weekly financial and retirement guidance from Northwest Arkansas‘ Mach 1 Financial Group. David Lee. Mike Frost. Matt Walters.

This week, Matt, Isaac, and John are tackling three major headlines from the finance world: tariffs, The Fed being pressured to lower rates, and whether or not the rising tensions in the Middle East is having an impact on the markets.

Matt is a bit surprised the markets haven’t changed at all since the Israeli strikes on Iran, while Isaac is not surprised at all. John is relieved and hopes peace can be settled with the U.S. acting as a mediator. Perhaps good can come from the situation. The tariff drama may finally be coming to an end as more deals are going to paper, and hopefully this all leads to more production in the U.S.

And finally, Trump has been publicly calling out The Fed chairman, Jerome Powell, and demanding rates be cut. This leads the three hosts into a discussion on whether or not a rate cut should take place or maybe the Fed should simply let the economy work itself out.

We hope to answer your questions and respond to your comments in an upcoming episode!

- Do I want to leave a legacy?

This week, Lee, John, and Isaac discuss a variety of topics such as the constant uncertain tariff situation, the data pointing against the U.S. heading into a recession, and importantly the issue of our nation’s debt crisis. The guys also talk about the generational differences with investing. What will happen to this next generation of investors if and when a crash does happen?

With inflation so low, and the economy doing seemingly well, will the Fed finally cut rates? They are meeting in June, July, and September, and Lee, John, and Isaac all have different opinions on when a cut could take place.

This week, Lee, John, and Isaac sit down in the studio to unpack some major issues and how (and if) they impact the American consumer: tariffs and student debt. John makes the argument that tariffs and all the drama going on in the stock market is not impacting the majority of Americans. John and Isaac recently went on vacations at different points across the United States, and both saw an unphased economy.

However, the national debt and average consumer debt is at all time highs, and that is going to impact people’s pockets. Lee is outraged at the cost of college tuition year after year and the extreme student debt many young people are facing. If people are paying loans instead of spending their money in the market, how will this impact the economy? Overall, everyone agrees that with all the ups and downs, no one can predict what will happen next…

This week, Matt, John, and Isaac discuss the recent GDP Q2 data, debating whether or not the United States has officially entered a recession. They also discuss whether rates should be cut and John predicts a rate cut may happen in June.

A few of the highlights include:

The United States GDP is negative from the first quarter, which is the first time since 2022. If this trend continues another quarter, it is classified as a recession.
A lot of commercial real estate loans operate on 5-7 year terms (instead of a typical mortgage of 15 or 30 years) which means a lot of those terms could be renewing soon under these new rates (no longer the very low 2020 ones) which could have a big impact. In general, rates are high and impacting businesses and individuals.
Rates may be high but they also feel high because of the lengthy period of time when they were extremely low.
Warren Buffet is retiring and Berkshire Hathaway unlike any other stock

This week, Matt, John, and Lee discuss how the economy and the stock market aren’t the same thing. Even though things are possibly not going well in our economy with a looming recession and high inflation, this doesn’t always correlate to a poor performing stock market. The stock market can be a predictor or react to what’s happening in the economy but they are two separate beasts.

They also discuss how severe the inflation has been, which has dramatically impacted the cost of living. Even if inflation goes down, the damage is essentially done and Americans will have to adapt to the new costs and hope wages will rise to keep up. Tariffs are one people’s minds but there are other factors at play, primarily the uncertainty in this new administration. The market’s volatility reminds us all the importance of diversification in our portfolios!

The stock market has increased in volatility due to political uncertainty among other factors, and it can have some investors worried and potentially making risky decisions in an attempt to feel “in control.” Matt, Lee, and John break down the recent market trends, looking across various metrics and discussing whether or not investors should be worried.

All three agree, however, that now is not the time to make rash decisions. In fact, it is never a good time to make rash decisions when it comes to your portfolio! The market naturally ebbs and flows, up and down, positive and negative. Listen to their conversation to be informed on what you need to know during this market volatility.

Comment whether you think we’ll head into a recession and whether or not this could be a good thing in the end for our economy!

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...

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 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.

This is a special episode of the Market Moment! Matt, Lee, and John are answering YOUR questions, comments, and analyzing the responses from a recent Market Moment survey. We like to hear from you which is why we sent out a survey (hopefully you had a chance to fill it out!) asking how you felt about the economy, politics with the stock market, and asked for your questions. The results were interesting so let's break them down...

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!

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!

In this episode, one of the questions comes from John "If our economy is going strong, why cut rates?" Matt, Lee, and John talk all about the aftermath of the recent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve by looking at historical data and how it could impact the markets.

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.

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!

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!

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...

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!

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.

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.

Does it really impact the market who's in the White House? Welcome to the Market Moment, where this week Lee and Matt are discussing the big question on how the market and elections are tried, if at all....

DISCLAIMER: This episode was filmed in preparation for vacation days, and was thus filmed prior to the recent political events (Trump's assassination attempt, Biden stepping down, and now Kamala Harris as the new nominee). All the information presented in this episode, however, is still very relevant even if Matt and Lee's references are "dated" at this point. It is still historically true that it doesn't matter if a Republican or a Democrat is in office, you should stay in the market and not time it.

💬 You can send your comments and questions to TheMarketMoment@mach1fg.com Do you agree or disagree with Matt and Lee? Remember, the "market" and the "economy" are two different things. Our economy could be struggling, but the market is going up.

Welcome to the Market Moment! This week, Matt, John and Lee discuss what's called "the behavior gap" which is the difference between an individual investor and someone who is hired to invest. It turns out, individual investors, those who invest for themselves personally, do worse in their portfolios.

One of the biggest reasons is emotion, and another one is trying to "time the market" which tends to involve late or old information. You can't really time the market!

The guys also discuss the Fed, and Matt poses the question, "what SHOULD the Fed do?"

Welcome to The Market Moment podcast! In this episode, Matt, Lee, and Eli discuss the current sentiments surrounding "the market" and portfolios. Sometimes when people say "the market" they're referring to the S&P 500 and not the overall market which includes international, small businesses, and bonds, all things which have not been performing well. While people are claiming "the market" is doing well, what they might really mean is the S&P 500, which is being heavily pulled up by the Magnificent 7, the big tech companies.

Some people wonder if this will lead to a bubble or if it's a concentrated market. People say "the market" is doing well, but many feel as if the economy is in terrible shape. Looking at the typical well-balanced portfolio, some may feel they're underperforming, especially if they're comparing their returns to that of the S&P 500.....

Matt, Lee and Eli ask the question: Does diversification still work? Listen to find out!

Welcome to the Market Moment! This week, Eli and John are diving into Nvidia’s latest stock price movement, economic risks beyond inflation, and some insights from finance Twitter.

Topic #1: Nvidia Stock Fell - Is This a Correction? Nvidia (NVDA) stock dropped as much as 5% on Monday, as investors moved away from the year's hottest AI play. The stock has declined more than 11% from its all-time high of $135.58 last Tuesday, when Nvidia temporarily overtook Microsoft (MSFT) as the most valuable company. Any drop beyond 10% from a recent high is considered correction territory. Bank of America analysts, however, believe this volatility is likely short-lived, reiterating a Buy rating and a $150 price target for Nvidia, calling it a "top pick."

Topic #2: Inflation is Not the Only Risk San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly highlighted on Monday that rising unemployment is becoming an increasing risk. The Federal Reserve must "exhibit care" in its efforts to control inflation. Reducing inflation further will likely require restraining demand, which could result in higher unemployment rates. Daly emphasized the need for the Fed to remain vigilant and open to adjustments.

Topic #3: Insights from Finance Twitter Join us as Eli shares some interesting financial tweets and discussions happening right now.

In this episode of the Market Moment, Matt, Lee, and John delve into three critical topics impacting the current financial landscape: Apple’s groundbreaking AI announcement, the fluctuating oil prices, and the looming threat of a major recession.

They start with Apple's unveiling of its generative AI initiative, Apple Intelligence, at the WWDC conference. This new technology will be deeply integrated across Apple's ecosystem, offering unique capabilities distinct from competitors like Microsoft’s Copilot and Google’s Gemini. This significant move has been highly anticipated by Wall Street, marking Apple's entry into the generative AI space. However, it appears Apple's stock hasn't been very affected by this announcement...

Next, the discussion shifts to the recent developments in the oil market. Following an OPEC+ decision to increase production, oil prices have experienced a notable rise. Analysts, including those from Goldman Sachs, predict a significant supply deficit driven by summer fuel demand, which could push Brent crude prices higher. The hosts explore how these dynamics are influencing market sentiment and what investors can expect as the Federal Reserve prepares to release key inflation data and market reports. John notes that high gas and utility prices affect the lower to middle class substantially more and could hit the economy in turn.

Finally, the episode addresses the stark economic forecast presented by economist Harry Dent, who predicts an unprecedented market crash. Drawing parallels to historical bubbles, Dent argues that the current market is inflated due to prolonged artificial stimulus, setting the stage for a massive correction. He predicts dramatic declines for major indices and stocks, emphasizing the need for a market reset to pave the way for future growth. This segment provides listeners with a sobering perspective on potential market trajectories and the implications for long-term investments.

Welcome to The Market Moment! | Episode 203

Hey there, Market Moment community! Welcome back to another episode. Joining you this week is Matt, Lee, and John. They have some intriguing topics lined up for you: the impact of inflation on America's spending habits, the role of bankruptcy as a shield, and the concept of "spaving".

Consumer ETFs Showing the Real Inflation Picture

We're kicking things off with a look at how some ETFs are revealing the true impact of inflation on consumer behavior. The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF, featuring big names like General Motors, Chipotle, and Deckers, has seen a downturn this year. In contrast, the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF, with holdings like Procter & Gamble, Costco, and Walmart, is up more than 8%.

Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reports that it's attracting more upper-income shoppers, those earning above $100,000. CFO John David Rainey noted that these customers are spending more on essential items and less on discretionary products. Meanwhile, luxury brands like Burberry are facing significant losses, with annual profits down 34% and same-store sales dropping by 1%.

Spaving

Have you heard of "spaving"—spending more to save? This old concept, now rebranded, is prevalent in grocery stores, retailers, and even online gambling. Financial expert Bryan Kuderna explains that spaving encourages consumers to buy more than necessary to feel like they're getting a deal. Common tactics include "buy one get one free" offers, in-store cash for future purchases, freebies, and store credit cards. The key takeaway: avoid buying under pressure to steer clear of these marketing traps.

Is Bankruptcy a Shield?

We explore whether corporate defendants can use federal bankruptcy to shield themselves from legal trouble. The Supreme Court is set to consider this issue, particularly in the case involving Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. The question at hand is whether the Sacklers can use bankruptcy to protect their personal fortunes from opioid-related liabilities. Justices are debating whether bankruptcy laws were intended to prevent personal injury victims from suing third parties not directly involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

Comment Time!

This week's comment comes from our YouTube channel, where Eli discussed whether young people can buy houses. @camleborgne6121 shared his experience, saying, "I welded in New England. Everybody I knew that was my age (23) + maybe 5 years was renting. I don't know a single person from back home that owns a home. Just recently moved to South Carolina, I'm still a welder and every co-worker I've met so far that's my age or a few years older, owns a home. Was a pretty big wake-up call for me."

In this week's episode of The Market Moment, hosts Matt, Lee, and Eli delve into the latest market trends and thought-provoking discussions. Kicking off the episode, they explore the resurgence of meme stocks, with GameStop (GME) soaring by an impressive 110%. The recent online activity of "Roaring Kitty," previously known as Keith Gill, has sparked renewed interest in meme stocks, prompting questions about their sustainability and impact on market volatility.

Next, the hosts tackle a viral TedX talk by Scott Galloway titled "How the US is Destroying Young People’s Futures." With nearly 4 million views and over 18,000 comments, Galloway's presentation has ignited a widespread conversation about generational wealth disparities and the challenges faced by today's youth. From income inequalities to housing affordability and the influence of social media on mental health, Galloway paints a stark picture of the realities confronting young Americans.

Finally, the hosts engage with insightful comments from their Instagram community regarding last week's discussion on the minimum wage. From questioning the role of minimum wage jobs to debating the implications of wage increases, the comments highlight diverse perspectives on this contentious issue.

Welcome to our latest podcast episode! In today's discussion, John and Lee delve into the market's trending headlines: stocks, Robinhood and the SEC, and fast food's outrageous price increases.

First, they analyze the recent surge in stocks fueled by hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut. With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite making notable gains, we explore the market dynamics driving investor sentiment, including projections of multiple rate cuts by year-end.

Additionally, they spotlight corporate updates from Disney and Apple, shedding light on their performance amid market fluctuations. John and Lee examine Robinhood's potential encounter with SEC enforcement actions over its crypto operations. Delving into the regulatory challenges facing the trading firm, we reflect on the implications for both Robinhood and the broader landscape of accessible investment platforms. They also weigh the benefits and risks associated with democratized investing avenues.

Finally, they look at the evolving landscape of fast-food pricing. Exploring the significant price hikes in limited-service meals compared to inflation rates, they dissect the underlying factors driving this trend, from minimum wage increases to shifting consumer behaviors. Fast-food isn't exactly cheap anymore and it may drive people away from the drive-thru.

Welcome to the Market Moment! This week, Matt, Lee, and Eli are looking at Tesla's recent stock rise, the growing stagnation concerns for the economy, and the guys give tax advice as Trump's deductions may go away after 2025.

Tesla's stock experienced a significant boost following CEO Elon Musk's visit to China, surging over 16% as the company achieved a milestone in rolling out its advanced driver-assistance technology in the country. This surge was fueled by the removal of restrictions on Tesla's cars by local Chinese authorities, indicating progress in meeting the country's data security requirements. With expectations rising for the availability of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software in China, the world's largest market for electric vehicles, a reported deal with Baidu further enhances prospects by providing access to mapping and navigation technology.

Wall Street is increasingly apprehensive about a potential return to 1970s-style stagflation in the U.S. economy, fueled by stubbornly high inflation and signs of economic cooling. This sentiment follows a report indicating slower-than-expected growth and accelerating core inflation, reminiscent of the economic challenges faced in past decades. Stagflation fears had previously peaked in 2022, prompting the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates, though these concerns subsided as inflation pressures eased without significantly impacting economic growth. However, rising interest rates are now contributing to increased borrowing costs, impacting various sectors from mortgages to credit cards.

Matt, Lee, and Eli also dive into tax preparation strategies, including considerations such as tax brackets, deductions, and the option to roll over IRAs into Roths. As tax season approaches, understanding these aspects of tax planning becomes crucial for individuals and businesses alike. By providing insights into these topics, the podcast aims to equip listeners with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of tax obligations and optimize financial strategies for the future.

Welcome to the Market Moment! This week, Matt, John, and Lee discuss that six of the "Magnificent 7" (Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla) have gone down in the stock market. Jonathan Golub from UBS downgraded six of these, signaling a loss in momentum following their biggest market cap drop. This shift reflects concerns about where earnings are growing most, which could cause short-term disruption. Despite this, Golub remains positive about the broader market's trajectory, foreseeing continued growth supported by strong fundamentals and a robust economy.

Tesla in particular has been struggling, which spawns a conversation about EVs.

Next, the conversation turns to bipartisan worries in Washington about cheap Chinese goods. Both Biden and Trump advocate for tariffs on Chinese imports, though with different approaches. Despite declining steel imports from China, concerns persist about the impact of these goods on the US economy. Trump's proposal for significant tariffs could affect future trade and may have implications for inflation and global economics.

Lastly, they cover recent bankruptcy filings by companies like Express and Red Lobster. These companies seek Chapter 11 protection to address financial pressures. Express hopes to facilitate an acquisition, while Red Lobster aims to renegotiate leases and tackle rising costs. Chapter 11 allows these companies to restructure debts while continuing operations, offering a chance for financial recovery. Lee, Matt, and John predict that due to high interest rates, we'll be seeing more businesses in bankruptcy.

This week, John and Eli delve into crucial topics shaping the economic landscape. First, they dissect Jamie Dimon's recent shareholder letter, where the JPMorgan Chase CEO expresses concerns about potential risks to the US economy, including inflation, government spending, and geopolitical tensions. Dimon's insights not only highlight the challenges ahead but also offer reflections on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, hinting at a future with shorter workweeks and significant societal shifts.

It does present us with a question though - Should we be worried? Or how worried should we be? And how will that impact our actions now as investors?

This week's headlines were also flooded with information about inflation rising which may be connected to the increase of small businesses in the US. John and Eli explore findings from a Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey indicating Americans' anticipation of prolonged inflation and its impact on job security. The surge in small businesses started as side hustles and the increasing enrollment in vocational community colleges reflect a cultural shift away from traditional academic paths, emphasizing the evolving economic landscape and changing perceptions of career trajectories.

Stephanie, Matt and Lee delve into the global market outlook for the remainder of 2024, particularly focusing on equity and fixed income markets after record highs in the first quarter. We analyze the shifting role of artificial intelligence (AI), once dominant in 2023, and explore its current status and potential future impact on markets, drawing parallels with the tech bubble of the 90s and assessing its longevity.

Additionally, they discuss the implications of AI on the average person and whether big names today may fade away within the next decade. Amidst concerns of a looming recession that dominated 2023, they question whether we've truly moved past this economic uncertainty or if it's just the calm before the storm.

Furthermore, they speculate future rate cuts and examine the insights of its CEO, Jaime Dimon, whose remarks carry significant weight in market analysis, particularly in light of his past predictions about the stock market bottom in 2020 and recent cautionary statements regarding the outlook of the US economy, hinting at potential pitfalls that warrant our attention.

This week on the Market Moment podcast, John, Eli and Matt cover the latest stock market headlines which include bitcoin making record highs thanks to the availability of new ETFs. They also discuss whether or not bitcoin is a legitimate asset to invest in, like in a Roth. Will the advisors embrace bitcoin?

Reddit is going public which causes John and the others to ask hard questions: What is their business model? Is this business profitable? Is this a business I want to invest in when I don't understand it? Not too dissimilar from the questions surrounding bitcoin.

Lastly, the fast food franchise Wendy's is trending in the news after an announcement in mid-February about a new dynamic pricing model. While the CEO of Wendy's has clarified that Wendy's does not intend to use "surge pricing" which is increasing the price of food during peak eating times, many believe this is exactly what is going to happen. They explain that their model will lower prices during less optimal times (like Sonic's "Happy Hour") but the internet is outraged and demands a boycott on the red-headed girl. Eli, however, thinks this is a genius business strategy. What do you think? The advisors also dive into a comment from the previous episode, which was all about first-time home buyers.

You can send us your comments or questions at this email: TheMarketMoment@mach1fg.com

Here's this week's prompt: How do you feel about inflation right now? Do you feel more or less optimistic things will get better?

A lot happened in the market today!

The news was packed today with stories about Apple's $2 billion fine by the European Commission, Bitcoin reaching a record high, and Nvidia still going strong but the S&P500 hugged a flatline. With this tech rally, there is growing concern that a bubble is building and will eventually burst. A question on everyone's mind is interest rates, are they going to get cut at all this year?

There is some relief and hope on the horizon however when it comes to rent prices. The housing market has been a hot topic for many Americans as lower and middle-class people struggled to find affordable housing, either to rent or own. Median rent prices reached an all-time high in 2023 at $2000 but now it's finally starting to lower as the supply of apartments has increased. Homeownership is still the American dream but a lot of that depends on the interest rates.

Lastly, Matt, Lee, and Eli discuss flying cars. What was once science fiction has been turning into reality over the past several years, and now a company in California has started its pre-ordering for its new flying car. The company, Alef Aeronautics, has 2,850 in preorders, with each car to be sold for $300,000. Would you buy a flying car? Or is this new business going to crash and burn, or change like EV cars? Elon Musk has some strong opinions about flying cars, and some people on the podcast agree and some disagree...

We appreciate your comments and questions. Please let us know below if you agree or disagree that there will be a new entry point for homebuyers in the future, as Lee suggests.

In this episode, Matt, Lee, and John discuss the latest market updates such as stocks being flat on Monday, Nvidia keeping its momentum, inflation lingering, rates being high, and on the day of recording (Tuesday, February 27th) the Commerce Department's Census Bureau released its January report for durable goods.

This week on the Market Moment, Matt, Eli, and Lee give you the latest U.S. stock updates as the Consumer Price Index was released today, Tuesday, Feb 13th.

America's credit card debt is making headlines... The average American consumer has $6,360 in credit card debt, and the national total is $1.13 trillion, the highest in history. A professor of public policy studies at the University of Chicago and former acting chair of the White House Council of Economic Affairs said that while one trillion is overwhelming, "the reality is that this figure is expected to ascend." Additionally, the interest on these credit cards has risen. According to Bankrate, the average credit card charges 20.74% interest. This compounds and can easily snowball into an overwhelming burden that cripples Americans.

Eli, Matt, and Lee also discuss Tesla's new humanoid robots that are expected to replace human factory workers. Here is a video illustrating the robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpraXaw7dyc

Is this the beginning of the robot apocalypse The panel disagrees. This is progress and the economy will benefit from the cut costs and increase in profits by using these new tools. Agree or disagree? Tell us in the comments!

The U.S. debt is skyrocketing. It surged to $34,135,530,482,291.88 trillion last week on Thursday according to the Treasury Department, which means it is up $41.1 billion from the previous day. If the U.S. continues on this trajectory, it will nearly double in size over the next three decades and become a burden far exceeding previous levels. John and Lee discuss their opinions on the matter and who's to blame and who could fix it, and if it will be fixed at all.

The U.S. stocks haven't changed much as everyone waits for news from the Fed regarding interest rates, and news concerning the U.S. jobs report. Big tech, however, A.I. and corporate profits are up, which is a good sign for the economy, at the moment. John shares his feelings on what possible consequences we will see in the near future from the COVID payments.

The European Union told Amazon they could not proceed with their acquisition of the company iRobot which makes smart vacuum cleaners. Amazon was looking to expand their in-home smart technology but now that they are not able to proceed with the deal, iRobot has laid off 31% of its workers and struggling. This topic brings up the question of how big does a company get to where it becomes a monopoly, and must be stopped before buying out the competition?

Lee and John also respond to a viewer's question on when exactly the recession started: was it during covid, or are we currently in a recession now, or have we avoided it?

In this episode, Eli and John touch on the latest stock news, such as the Tech Sector outpacing the S&P500 but some stocks are lagging... A Bank of America survey conducted from Jan 5th-11th showed investors see large-cap companies underperforming small-cap companies in the next twelve months for the first time since June 2021. John and Eli also discuss the issues of U.S. spending, American credit card debt, and its connection to unemployment and a possible recession; and maybe, recessions aren't a bad thing. They conclude with a YouTube comment discussing last week's housing shortage episode and whether "shelter is a human right" or "a need" and what the differences are between the two.
