Money Life With Chuck Jaffe Daily Podcast

Howard Yaruss, professor at New York University and the author of 'Understandable Economics' says that while the stock market is up sharply this year, 'this is not a stock market on fire, this is a stock market 15 percent below it's peak.' The year's increase has been mostly due to a few technology/artificial-intelligence companies, but he does not believe the AI business is setting up a new bubble/crash, because their valuations haven't approached unreasonable; Yaruss also noted that he thinks the Fed will hold off on raising rates this month to see if inflation continues its slow decline. Also on the show,  Jeff Ptak, chief ratings officer at Morningstar Inc., goes 'Off The News' on his research that showed that certain tactical asset allocation funds were much worse for investors than simply buying-and-holding a static portfolio, David Trainer of New Constructs issues a warning for the entire stock market over the coming earnings season, and Chuck explores the weird financial news.
