Henssler Money Talks — March 1, 2025 
Season 39, Episode 9  

This week on "Henssler Money Talks," show hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, discuss the week’s major news, including Nvidia’s earnings, consumer sentiment, and the latest cost-cutting measures from the Department of Government Efficiency.

The team also explores the idea circulating in Washington of creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund for the United States. They examine the potential benefits and drawbacks, including how such a fund could support infrastructure development for key industries like semiconductors and artificial intelligence, as well as concerns that politically driven investments could distort market valuations.

After the break, the hosts dive into tipping culture in the service industry, discussing how businesses have integrated digital ordering and payment systems with pre-set tip suggestions—often higher than what customers were traditionally accustomed to.
