In today's show, Shana Burt and Sam Case explore the relationship between consumer confidence, the economy, and financial markets. They highlight that while consumer sentiment sometimes correlates with economic trends, it's not always a reliable predictor. The hosts introduce a biblical perspective on wealth, discussing King Solomon's riches and the importance of prioritizing one's relationship with God over material possessions. They also address listener questions about portfolio diversification and specific stock holdings, suggesting strategies based on individual financial goals and risk tolerance.
