In today's show, Shana Burt and Seth Udinski examine the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, which rose to 93.7 in October 2024. They review the index's historical trends and its relationship to different presidential administrations. The hosts analyze Home Depot's recent earnings report and financial performance. They also talk about the importance of aligning investment choices with personal values, particularly in relation to companies' stances on social issues. Become a Financial Issues Partner today!
