The Fed's Hawkish Surprise
1) The Fed's Hawkish Surprise
The Federal Reserve surprised markets this week, as the minutes of the April FOMC meeting were seen as "hawkish," meaning there is a much greater likelihood of the Fed hiking interest rates again in June and/or July. That news put pressure on stocks, gold and oil, and it sent the value of the U.S. dollar higher. So, what does this mean for equities, bonds, commodities and currencies? Find out my take in today's leadoff podcast segment.
2) Mutual Funds Still Apply
I'm a huge fan of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but the fact is that many 401(k) and 403(b) funds still do not offer access to ETFs. It is here that mutual funds are appropriate, but not all funds are created equal. In today's middle segment, I tell you about a few of the mutual funds that I like, and why I think they can still apply to your investment profile.
3) How to Give Your Money a Checkup
If your car is running poorly, you need to pop the hood and give it a checkup. Well, the same is true for your money. In today's final segment, I tell you how to do a "checkup" of your portfolio, and how to think about ways you can fix your holdings so that they run better, and so your money can return to firing on all cylinders. Plus, why "monitoring" your money is a crucial component of your success.
