Chris and Brian discuss financial issues such as the GDP, ISM manufacturing index, durable goods, the Corona Virus, and investment price vs. value. The GDP reported on target at 2%. Business growth slowed last quarter as expected due to heavy inventory; however, US import/export numbers were strong. The January ISM manufacturing index was over 50 for first time in a while. Technology companies did well in Q4; where materials, energy, and industrials were lagging. The Corona Virus is spreading more quickly than 2003 SARS – contributable to enhanced transportation infrastructure in China. Stocks like Clorox and 3M expected to get a bump due to the virus. When considering mutual funds and ETFs – its not just return vs. price - cost, risk, total return, and tax considerations are all relevant.
