Money Life With Chuck Jaffe Daily Podcast

Benjamin Halliburton, founder and chief investment officer at the Building Benjamins investment newsletter, says that inflation and interest rates bottoming out last year after a decline/trend that lasted for 40 years has now put investors into a new territory, forcing them to consider areas and industries that benefitted from decades of disinflation. It's the biggest inflection point of most investors' lifetimes, he says, but it's an adjustment that people will need to make to keep the profits rolling in the changed conditions they'll see for years to come. Also on the show, Washington Post columnist Helaine Olen discusses how Medicare Advantage will be used by more consumers this year than traditional Medicare coverage, and how that is creating a disadvantage to the country and to the many people who don't understand entirely what they are signing up for and who are falling for bad commercial messages. Plus, Chuck talks about giving gifts of stock for the children and grandchildren in your life.
