First Half Market Update

Your Monthly and First Half Market Update Domestic stocks have had a good first half of 2017, and a lot of that had to do with the optimism surrounding President Trump and the Republican pro-growth economic agenda. Internationally, stocks also did well in the first half, and that was largely due to the optimistic global growth expectations. So, which stocks – domestic or international – did the best during the first half of 2017?  That’s what this week’s show is all about. In this market-focused podcast, we provide a rundown of all the action the major domestic and international markets. Plus, we also look at some of the best market sectors in June and year to date, and we take a look at the action in bonds, gold and other commodities. If you want the complete scorecard on markets so that you “know where you are before taking another step,” then this week’s show is a must listen. Now What Do You Do With It? Once you know where the markets have been during the first half, you have to ask yourself what you do with all that information.  In addition to a complete recap of the action year to date, this podcast also is designed to help give you a good basis for plotting out your next market moves. Plus, I offer up a good reminder for you on how to turn your market knowledge combined with the knowledge of where you are right now into the right motivation required to take action.
