The Personal Wealth Coach

Weekly Market Insights April 22 - 26, 2024

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Two miracles were needed to get this episode record and somehow, both were received. Jake is once again joined by Jeff (first miracle) and somehow, they managed to do it from over 1,100 miles away (second miracle). There is a very slight possibility a third miracle might occur if they manage not to put you to sleep while they provide you a summary of this week's S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) movement and other market indicators they are known to occasionally update our listeners on. Listen in to see what the lowest gas price Jeff recalls as a reminder of his very "youngish" age.

Treasury Auctions and the Fiduciary Rule

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Once again Jake gabs on all by his lonesome once again, for over 30 minutes......... Join him as he delves into Treasury auctions. What are they?, What do we use the debt for?, and Should we be worried? are just a few of the questions Jake answers during this episode. Then, if you thought things couldn't get any better, or maybe worse, he goes on to speak a bit about a thing we hold near and dear to our hearts, The Fiduciary Rule. A rule we strive to live by at The Personal Wealth Coach.

Weekly Market Insights April 15 - 19, 2024

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. On this episode Jake is once again flying solo. If short and bitter (as if the market had a taste profile) are what you're looking for this Saturday morning, you just might be in for a treat. Jake goes over the weekly S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index movement for the week ending April 19th. And if you found yourself letting off a low grumble the last time you visited the gas station, listen in to hear an interesting tidbit about where West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices are compared to 10 years ago. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
