In 2023, interest rates underwent significant fluctuations, starting with an inversion where the two-year U.S. Treasury paid more than the 10-year U.S. Treasury. However, as the year progressed, interest rates rallied. By year-end, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate stood at approximately 3.88%, reaching a peak of 4% at one point. Meanwhile, the two-year treasury closed the year at 4.23%. This unprecedented volatility in interest rates had a profound impact on the market.
The episode highlights the strong performance of the NASDAQ, with the QQQ ETF rallying by 54.85%. This indicates that the QQQ ETF, which tracks the NASDAQ's performance, achieved a total return of 54.85% in 2023. This remarkable increase surpassed other major indexes like the S&P 500. The NASDAQ's robust performance can be attributed to the recovery of tech stocks, which had experienced a decline in the previous year. Additionally, the S&P 500 delivered a total return of 26.19% in 2023, indicating a positive year, albeit not as strong as the NASDAQ.
In 2023, growth stocks significantly outperformed value stocks. The NASDAQ, which heavily comprises growth stocks, achieved a total return of 54.85% for the year, while the S&P 500, consisting of a mix of growth and value stocks, achieved a total return of 26.19%. This highlights the strong performance of growth stocks in the market.
However, it remains crucial to maintain a balanced portfolio that includes both growth and value stocks. While growth stocks may have outperformed in 2023, value stocks tend to exhibit more stability and provide consistent returns over the long term. Value stocks are often attractively priced and possess lower price-to-earnings ratios, making them more resilient during market volatility.
By incorporating both growth and value stocks into a balanced portfolio, investors can benefit from the potential upside of growth stocks while enjoying the stability of value stocks. This approach helps mitigate risk and provides more consistent returns over the long term.
Furthermore, diversifying the portfolio by including different asset classes, such as bonds and international stocks, can further enhance stability and performance. Spreading investments across various sectors and regions reduces the impact of any single investment or market segment on the overall portfolio.
In summary, while growth stocks may have outperformed in 2023, it is essential to maintain a balanced portfolio that includes both growth and value stocks, along with other asset classes. This approach enables investors to achieve consistent returns and mitigate risk over the long term.

Burton explains the composition of these indexes and highlights the dominance of tech stocks in their performance.

It’s time to talk about S&P 500 envy. Tech companies have become the largest companies in America and the S&P 500 is dominated by tech because we’re talking about a market-weighted average. Tech has benefitted the most from us being in lockdown for COVID-19. There are algorithms out there created by Facebook to keep us engaged. So that means there are algorithms that are basically driving up the S&P 500 because we’re all stuck at home during COVID-19. With the S&P looking so good, why should you diversify with international stocks for the long game? What about investing in healthcare and industrial companies? Plus, what’s going on with Biden’s tax plan? We’ll talk about that and more on today’s episode of New Focus on Wealth with Chad Burton.

What are you doing to prepare for retirement? Don’t believe the ads that tell you to pack in a 5 year nest egg. In this episode, host Chad Burton talks about the importance of planning until you’re well into your 90s. And we’re not talking about just your physical or financial health. It turns out the two share a strong correlation. We’ll also avoid the chaotic stock advice on TV (so many screens and arrows) and opt for Monte Carlo simulations and playing the long game. All this and more on today’s episode of A New Focus on Wealth with Chad Burton.

Chad opens up the Podcast with a brief analysis of various stocks, making note of a handful of large companies whose stock prices are currently down. Chad then goes on to address the impact of COVID-19. Chad notes the market has revealed harm to the travel and leisure industries, including places that are hurt by a lack of physical shoppers at store locations, while many other industries have been unaffected, or thrived during the pandemic.
He then goes on to discuss tax cuts from 2017, noting that retirees benefited greatly. Chad questions the longevity of these tax cuts after noting the direction of politics in the United States. Chad lists the possible election of Joe Biden as president and the push for affordable healthcare for all Americans as a reason to expect taxes to increase in the near future. He notes the need for planning for taxes and explains that technology has made investing easier than ever.
Next, Chad takes a deeper dive into planning for retirement, urging those approaching retirement to manage their risk. Chad notes the importance of staying clear and engaged in chasing your health and retirement goals. He places emphasis on staying on top of your heart leading up to and during retirement, noting that people that spend all of their new free time in retirement obtaining new investment behavior need to focus more on their overall health and continue to trust their long term financial planning and advisors.
Chad moves on to explain that most people will live longer than they expect to and urges people to plan for that. He encourages his clients to live until age 100, and not to retire until they can afford to live that long. Next, he takes on a question from an anonymous listener who has two forms of retirement savings and over $30,000 in debt. The listener asks Chad about what form of investments he should get into. Instead of instructing the listener on new investments, Chad urges him to get rid of his debt.
Chad brings the episode to an end with some final remarks about tax expectations in the future. He lists healthcare, social security, infrastructure, and others as the main reason we can expect raised taxes. Finally, Chad talks about the importance of finding a financial advisor that can do it all for you; a one-stop shop where you don’t feel the pressure of being sold something, rather a place where you can lay everything out and get a birds-eye view of what is currently happening in your financial life, and what could happen in different scenarios.
