Episode description

Tim Crawmer, chief global credit strategist at Payden & Rygel, says that the rise in the  unemployment has not been driven by layoffs but rather by more people looking for work, which is a positive sign for the economy. Coupled with other good looks -- like the continued strength of the consumer pushing robust GDP expectations -- it should convince individual investors to position their portfolio "with the expectation that they will see a soft landing." Still, Crawmer, notes that high valuations may limit the potential upside, putting just a bit of caution on the optimism. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, also is focused on the strength of the consumer as he takes a consumer-spending fund as his ETF of the Week. Plus, Chuck answers a listener's question about dealing with a tender offer on a closed-end fund, and Raymond Bridges, portfolio manager for the Bridges Capital Tactical ETF, brings his "aggressively cautious" approach to the Market Call.
