Wes welcomes Capital Investment Advisors’ Wealth Management Analyst, Jeff Lloyd, to the studio. They talk about cotton candy inflation and the market’s obsession with the Fed, comparing it to kids preferring candy when their parents insist on vegetables. They evaluate when the Fed might end up cutting interest rates, marvel at Johnson & Johnson raising their dividend for the 62nd year in a row, and delve into the reality that many future retirees don’t have enough money saved. They discuss the Sag Harbor couple who built a $15 million home only to sell it because their dog wasn’t a fan and analyze Caitlin Clark’s surprising WNBA salary. Finally, they examine some well-performing Dividend Paying Stock ETFs.
