Money Life With Chuck Jaffe Daily Podcast

Markus Schomer, chief economist at Pinebridge Investments, said that while job growth and economic activity are slowing, the anticipated interest rate cuts should reboot business activity and leave the economy at an equilibrium point it can maintain through 2020. Buck Klintworth of Chase Investment Counsel -- while discussing technical analysis rather than the economy -- came to a similar conclusion, noting that while the market is currently 'ahead of itself' and could be due for a short-term setback, declines will be buying opportunities from now through most of the election year, suggesting that investors ignore the noise and instead see the market's potential. Also on the show, Bruce Bond of Innovator ETFs discusses defined-outcome investing, which effectively crosses indexed-annuity products with exchange-traded funds, and Judith Ward of T. Rowe Price discusses a recent survey showing how far behind Baby Boomer women are compared to men when it comes to retirement savings.
