In this episode, our hosts discuss retailer earnings, Federal Reserve Chair Powell's upcoming Jackson Hole speech, and the potential impact of a Canadian rail strike on inflation. They also explore the implications of Vice President Kamala Harris' proposal to raise corporate tax rates and its effect on market EPS projections.

The What Does It Mean? podcast sifts through the noise to break down only the most important stuff impacting the stock market, the economy and your money this week. Chris, Bob, Lindsey and their guests give their (often) varying perspectives. Every episode ends with a lesson learned and how it applies to your money.
