Jeff, Joe, and Kyle kick off the show with last week’s market recap. The Dow was up 1.2%, the S&P 500 was down 1.6%, and the NASDAQ was down 3.1%. All three indexes remain down in double digits year-to-date. Last week featured a Thursday rip-your-face-off, short-covering, technical bounce rally after the S&P dipped below 3500, but it didn’t hold on Friday. It was one of the top five reversals in history - on absolutely no news. The Money Wise guys discuss what happened, why investors sho...

Jeff, Joe, and Kyle are back in the studio after a week where we eeked out some gains due to strong Monday and Tuesday buying. The Dow was up 2% on the week, the S&P 500 was up 1.5%, and the NASDAQ was up 0.7%. All three remain down YTD. Above-average buying on Monday and Tuesday led to a week of gains, despite down days later in the week.

Jeff, Joe, and Kyle are back with another week of market updates and hot takes on the issues that matter most to you. Last week, the Dow was down, the S&P 500 was down, and the NASDAQ was down. It’s more of the same YTD, with all three significantly in the red. The Money Wise guys explain why the old adage of “TINA” is dead, and why something else has come back from the dead - the 60/40 portfolio.

Jeff, Joe, and Kyle are back after a week off - and what a week it was. Though it was a short trading week due to Labor Day, the Dow was up 2.7% last week, the S&P 500 was up 3.6%, and the NASDAQ was up 4.1%. For the year, all three remain in the red. It was the first positive week we’ve seen in the last three weeks but, after an August that was down across the board, it’s clear the market can’t make up its mind. The Money Wise Guys discuss whether Fed-speak is to blame or whether there are ...

Year-to-Date, the Dow is down 9.6%, the S&P 500 is down 13.3%, and the Nasdaq is down 20.8%. However, July was a big month and all three major indexes ended in the positive on the final trading day of the month.

Jeff, Joe, and Kyle are back at it, starting the show with a market recap that shows all three major indexes down again. The Dow, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ also remain down YTD. The week was far less negative than it would have been without such a positive Friday, driven by some earnings numbers from stocks and banks. The market also showed some optimism on information from the PPI and its input components, though we saw some CPI hand-wringing. In this episode, the Money Wise guys discuss ...

All three indexes were down for the second quarter of 2022 by double digits. It was the worst quarter since the first quarter of 2020 when COVID-19 hit, and the worst 6 months of the year for the S&P 500 since 1970. In short, it was a brutal second quarter. The MoneyWise guys discuss the portfolio changes they made, and why sometimes ...

All three indexes remain down in double digits YTD. The market gave us a reprieve this week from the big, hairy, smelly bear market as if it was hit with a tranquilizer dart for a short time.

So, the ultimate bottom may still be in front of us. The guys share what this might mean for investors with cash on the sidelines. In the second hour, the ...
