Buying a home is harder than ever before. Young people are waiting longer and longer. What does that mean for our economy? Wage growth is being outpaced by housing costs, so where are we really? Oh by the way, cars and healthcare and other costs are expensive too! The data is skewed by Covid, so what is really going on? Are the next generation potential homebuyers really all that worse off or are they culturally different, with different values? And what is going on with DOGE—does government spending cuts hurt the economy? What are the states doing? What are the numbers, not the prognosticators, saying? Prognosticators talk about inflation so often, it may lead you to ask, “Is anything disinflationary (and is that good)?” Where are we at with the unemployment number and is that a reliable number? And learn why jobless claims, produced weekly, are a reliable indicator, as volatile as they are. And the ultimate question, maybe, is America OK?

Big changes going through with the Trump administration. How will our investments do in this environment? We don’t know the rules of the game. Modestly slowing economy, unclear regulations, threats of tariffs and war. Consumers are the economy, and how are they doing? 3 million out of 170 million work for the Federal government. What about Federal layoffs? Inflation? Look at the Fed’s Teal book and other numbers (that are not boring). See what the numbers show about what this might mean for you. How to look at the years with the administration ahead of us. What is the outlook for equities? Is this the time to be a little more active or is it “time in the market that matters?” Hint: spoiler alert: the tariffs may not last and their effects may not be long-term.
